Got to have Law & Order on instead
Hoping to catch it on 4+1 after0 -
Well thats a good start, Austin Mitchell would only take part if his wifey could tag along.......:D
The girl Ian Duncan Smith is staying with didn't seem to have heard about "Parliament", .........Jeez this is gonna be good.......
Not quite sure staying on a Council Estate for 8 days will do any good at all........Its like having a bad holiday, it ends very quickly and they go back to their comfy lives.....Good talking point at the next dinner party.0 -
Oaten's 'doings' with rent-boys would disgust even the crack-head prostitutes on the estate...
That said, no-one's thought to mention how much 'the poor' are trousering in child benefits, housing benefits, invalidity benefits, etc. etc. while never lifting a finger to help themselves, expecting 'the social' to do it all.0 -

Don't bust a gut it's the same old tripe. All will be back to their cosy lives with this long forgotten. Pointless drivel t b h.I came in to this world with nothing and I've still got most of it left. :rolleyes:0 -
More poverty drivel.
"Im so poor, poor me, you don't understand" while sat on the sofa watching their big arris LCD TV with all the equipment underneath, smoking fags, with the computer running with no one using it.
Next week, we get to see how hard it is to live on benefits, and the MP is proud to have been within the budget, and then the mother goes and buys £48 worth of fags.
I thought it might have been just one women on benefits with the big arris flat screen, but next weeks previews showed a family on benefits also with the big arris TV.
Just winds me up.0 -
they all had big tv's and pc's with broadband, sky plus (i saw the remote) and fags and dogs. I would have had a lot more respect for the mp's if they said "to be honest love, for a lazy slag that doesn't work, you do alright. If you don't like it here, f**k off and get a job and pay for a nicer place".
I see they had cash to waste on the lottery, bingo, food out, partying.
what a load of trash. these scum bags have more cash than i do after i pay tax and all the bills these scroungers get away without paying.
I would sign the petition to knock the tower block down, provided they were all in it at the time.
hateful scum!0 -
I didnt watch it but it sounds like I would have got rather angry if I did. Programs like that really tempt me to take up some tax-dodging activities and screw my slice out of the government since everyone else seems to. If you cant beat 'em join em. The only snag is I would probably get arrested.0

What is a 'arris flat screen' you seem to know ?'Just think for a moment what a prospect that is. A single market without barriers visible or invisible giving you direct and unhindered access to the purchasing power of over 300 million of the worlds wealthiest and most prosperous people' Margaret Thatcher0 -
could it be a r s e ?0
