Benefits And Bypasses....

Anybody watch it, what did you think?

I felt sorry for the woman with the alcohol problem

[furrypusscat]

Yes. Hard as it may seem, I didn't feel sorry for any of them. Their future lies in their own hands, there is only so much that professionals can do to help. If they won't help themselves then they must suffer the consequences.
As for the young lady who was grossly obese, then her benefits should be stopped if she refuses to help herself. Why should we pay her to sit at home doing nothing. It did state in the Daily Mail yesterday, how much she was getting from the state but I cannot remember the amount.

I feel sorry for anybody with any kind of addiction, but that programme severely tested me! the younger guy smoking, said something along the lines of "the NHS has a duty to to look after me" as he stands there smiling telling us how he loves smoking!" and that young girl really had no intention to lose weight or get a job! Those were the two that really tested me!! yes I would stop their benefits, maybe if their benefits stopped they wouldnt be able to afford to eat and smoke so easily!!

Disgusting.

I have sleep apnoea, I had to give up my job as a Taxi driver as I kept falling asleep,maybe I should try it, I would be happy on £18.000 a year!!

The only one I felt sorry for was the lady with liver disease. I actually cried for her. There was a history there of being left alone with young children in her past.

the young girl who was pregnant pushing herDad in a wheelchair made me mad, three weeks left of her pregnancy and still smoking roll ups. No concern for her unborn child. I didn't even take so much as a paracetemol with my pregnancies despite having crippling headaches in the first three months.

As for the obese girl, also puffing on fags and eating crap, no sympathy.

Didn't that young girl say she wet the bed? My God, when you get yourself into that state you really have get off your And do something!

Can't she see she has no quality of life, she's killing herself.

Fusion, regards the person from L.Pool with the Liver Issue, my wife's Nephew died with the same, as hard as this may sound, he & only he controlled the hands that fed his face with drink & he paid the price, his wife left him twice & warned him he would kill himself, the person's job, he was a psychologist, regards the lazy fat *** that was slumped on the bed, without a doubt stop her benefits.

whats with the doc who keeps giving her sick notes??? she changed doctor because the original on refused so they changed

[Fusion5]

TWR I agree with you to a point, but what led her to the drink. Think there was family issues.

Gina, I am surprised they didn't suggest a gastric band. Her Mother didn't seem much help.
