dat's fookin' stoopid
It's useful to paste some of the text into the post as well, to give those who can't read the article an idea ...
Missed that...........does anyone have a link to any remarks she made about UKIP and or Nigel Farage I am sure she made some nasty comments.
Apologies if you bothered to tune in for that. I think Iain Dale was hyping it up a bit when he mentioned it earlier - it was actually pretty dull!
I am not aware of anything really bad she's said about any of the political parties. If you google 'Deirdre Kelly UKIP' there are quite a few articles referring to what she's been saying at the Conservative Party conference, eg this in the DM.
Sorry, I didn't realise the Telegraph was so restricted, but I obviously don't read it often enough. Here is the article, which isn't very long:
James Turner Street, in Winson Green, is just two miles from the secure zone of the International Convention Centre in Birmingham.
But Deirdre Kelly could have been forgiven for thinking that the Conservative Party was a world away from "Benefits Street", the subject of a controversial Channel 4 documentary earlier this year.
However, the standout star of the programme received a warm welcome at a fringe event hosted by the think-tank Policy Exchange.
For the most part, Ms Kelly found herself agreeing with former Employment Minister, and fellow panellist Mark Hoban.
She reserved her warmest words, though, for the Ukip Leader Nigel Farage, when she said that she could "very well" vote for the party.
She also said that he was being "smart" for not talking about welfare - because the other parties were "digging a big hole" for themselves and will allow Mr Farage to "swoop in and clean up."
Interesting comment about Farage being smart, I thought, for not talking about welfare so Ukip could swoop in and clean up.
I'd rather listen to a lamposts view of the world
It's a cruel cold world out there, dogs pissing up you all hours - let me tell you!
how's it working constant night shifts? i've heard it can impact on your health
it could be worse, you could be a dogs back garden, how can we help the long term unemployed back into work? :cool:
she was on benefits for years on the telly, so she must know her stuff, I'd imagine Cameron and co are busy rewriting their policies now Dee has spoken. :cool:
Having a bit of a wrangle with ATOS as we speak trying to prove the woodworm is genuine

Pitch the idea to Ch 5. I reckon you could make a bit.
Are you trying to say I'm faking it? >:(
The Telegraph restriction only came in about a month ago (I used my allowance up in lesss than an hour
good lord no!
it's just rare.
if your illness doesn't have a box to tick it makes it so much harder....
and woodworm in concrete, well it just doesn't get the publicity of other diseases does it?^_^
Hi, Dave...I know this is nothing to do with what you are saying above but the Mods have deleted my 'Deleted' thread....what a cheek!!
Perhaps they felt it a good idea to have a former claimant who agrees with their benefit reforms?
