Title: I don't think I could watch this programme this evening.

I think this would make me so mad, after seeing it previewed on T.V. this morning.

Totally agree with you Jacqui.
I abhor beauty pageants anyway but spending benefits in such a way makes my blood boil.

Yes, Anne, I gave the online article to Phil this morning to read and he started to read it and then put it down and said he could not read anymore as it was making him angry.

I saw a bit of it and had to turn it off.
Not the sort of thing I normally watch. A better title would be Minger Pageants.
Funny (not really) how one couple on benefits can afford to pay £100 per month for sky.
One pillock of a bloke on it had not worked for 2 years but to keep himself 'employable' he played xbox games to keep his mind active and able to keep his IT skills up. >:( >:( >:(

  The Benefit's system and some of it's claimants need a bleedin' good shake up.

  There again, perhaps we do, for putting up with it. !!

Yes, but every time the Government try to shake it up, there is an outcry about depriving people of their benefits.  Of course, there are very genuine people who need benefits, but there do seem to be a lot of folk wh0  are taking the country for a ride.

No, people like the ones on this programme, who take benefits, do not work, smoke, have satelite T.V. stay up late on gaming sites, have more children, because the State will pay for them and even put them into beauty competitions using their benefits.  Nothing to do with Cameron.  Just people taking the State for a ride, knowing that is anyone complains and the Government try to stop some people claiming, the bleeding heart liberals will complain that Cameron is making the poor suffer.
