And why was it relevant to the programme?

Good point.
Was it a documentary or a drama?
To be honest, it;s been covered before it was poor journalism

Funny, I'm sure I remember Panorama from when I was growing up as a boring SERIOUS program. I quite enjoy it now as entertainment.

You guys worry me, I think you should get out more, but perhaps not.

Erm, you do realise that we're not the people in the animated Gif?

What worries me is that if they can be this biased and misleading on a topic where I know they are being biased and misleading, what about all the other topics?

ETA: Dammit - I'm going to complain.

Yep, it used to be an hour long programme, but then they dumbed it down and made it 30 minutes.

I missed it - was there any groin thrusting?

Not really, but I think there was a bit of fist pumping.

NSS- the fact you know where to find the stuff is bad enough or did you simply google "groin thrust by mixed males"?

I simply googled 'groin thrusting animated gif'. It's not rocket science, Griz. Come and join us in the 21st century.

It was a confusing program, to put it mildly.

I don't think any of the recent HTB government policy was really aimed at the subjects in the film. The single man was living on an income which puts him close to the edge of peril, should any unplanned bill arise. He is definitely not the type who needs a mortgage. He would be even more exposed.

The young family and he would both benefit from long term rent security though. I had sympathy with the family forced to move frequently, wasn't it something like 13 times?

I remember feeling like a 2nd class citizen when renting way back when, and I don't think much has changed. This is a shame, when we know a lot more people will have to rent much longer.
