All these programmes are the same.

You never see them targeting people in dodgy areas.
They choose easier pickings

its a series though, and it'll get worse over the weeks with the proper hardcore jobless.

the big fat unemplyed DJ was a gem- 75K of debt- how ? she lived on benefit in a council house !

she did have the plasma tv pikey rating though- of the crapper your house, the bigger yr telly


that lady running it though reminded me of the league of gentleman job club leader-

with an amazing set of odd clothes and neck scarfes !!


I think one flaw with the plan to get people into work, we forget quite a chunk of people are so genuinely stupid and in bred they are truely incapable of interacting in society or working.

I was so pleased to hear that I was paying for her Top TV package on Virgin which I can't afford myself.

Only caught the tail end of this before BB started so recorded it on +1.

Makes my blood boil these benefit people but also makes me feel that theres at least some people below me!

Six million people in the UK on some sort of benefit.

Unemployment benefit payments now exceed income tax revenue.


Great Britain. Don't make me laugh.

They are woefully understaffed. In Northern Ireland they are staffed to detect about £20M of benefit fraud a year. A conservative estimate for benefit fraud in Northern Ireland alone is around £120M.

That doesn't include organised fraud e.g. multiple identity

Well some brain doner thought it was a good idea to lend £75k to someone on the dole, so there is hope for them yet.

Yeah, the Fat DJ...... I did laugh when it showed her big Plasma TV, and when she said she was on the minimum Broadband, yet the full TV package. I can't stop that !!!!

When the Blonde one with the big nose was interviewed in the shop, she was shaking. Said to my G/F "She's an Alcoholic". The very next scene, she comes into the office reeking of Alcohol.

The women giving the course was a pain in the @rse. I wouldn't be able to stand being in the same room as her talking.

The following programs look good though. The Disability program should be the best.

Watching it though, I couldn't help but think it was all a bit of a con. The Chairman/woman was stupidly rich. Nice bl00dy house. But it looks like she's making money from the Tax payer to talk to scum who have no real intention of finding work. £100 per person each week !! Think I might start my own business up like this. Easy money.

Think it was a fluke that the women got employment. If it wasn't for that shop opening up, and getting free advertisement by appearing on national TV, I doubt they'd have employed them all. Fixed. The way the all got called one after the other while out for a meal. Bollox. Thought the Fat DJ was going to be the one who failed. Sadly not.

It is a no brainer, yes. Lend an idiot £75K, and they'll pay you back over trebble that in minimum payments every month. Easy money.

The minimum monthly payments on 75k would be colossal

Cheap Alcohol and no standards.

Guess some men really do think "A hole is a goal", no matter what they look like.

Glad you noticed. Carbon taxes, y'know these taxes which will save the planet from "climate change", will make this sort of rort look like less than a tic on the butts of a bunch of elephants.
