What actually is news night? Just ordinary news channel bbc?

[pusskin]

I certainly dont idiolise her, and I wonder how she ever got to be famous.
Its one of them programmes that you cant turn off and have to watch it!
Wonder where she'll have her caravan --outside on the pavement?

[ummmm]

I've never suffered with depression but I have worked with people that do. They have good times and bad times.

Who would employ her if she had to take days off every few weeks?

Plus what hc said...she's been convicted for theft.

[tamborine]

I get depressed with every tax bill I get.......

[ummmm]

Pusskin - she didn't chose this. Channel 4 did. They didn't know until two days before the programme aired that it was going to be called benefits street. They also didn't get to chose how it was edited.

[sherrardk]

I doubt she is claiming anything that she isn't 'entitled' to - hardly likely to be abusing the welfare system given all the publicity she is receiving.

[pusskin]

I do realise that ummmm. its all just fallen into her lap. Not really her fault she is on tele.

[hc4361]

ummm, lots of residents on that street declined to take part, it was her choice.

[silliemillie]

Yeah, yeah we all know she's depressed, I'm sure the caravan holidays will cheer her up.

[ummmm]

Probably the working ones, hc...

[hc4361]

There was one working person on the show but unemployed residents refused to take part, including Danny's brother. Danny is back in prison for shoplifting, by the way. Sentenced today.

[trt]

Wont she need a car to tow it?

[ummmm]

Good. I can't believe they even showed that like shop lifting could be a way of life and they even showed how to stop the shop alarms going off. That was pretty irresponsible...
