The truth about Benefits Street 'scrounger' Mark Thomas, by his grandparents
Derek has nothing but contempt for what he sees as the ‘something for nothing’ culture propagated by aspects of the welfare state. ‘Kids today, they might say they want a job, but you never see them out and about actually looking for work.
‘Why should they, when the Government will give them money for doing nothing? At half past seven in the morning, they’re all in bed.’
Jean took a full-time job at an amusement arcade where she remained for the rest of her working life. In later years, it gave her a unique insight into what she sees as the endemic abuse of welfare.
‘Every day, you’d see these people. They’re not disabled, but they are collecting disabled benefits, and bring the money right in and pour it into the slot machines.
‘Others would come into the arcade: they’re unemployed, but they aren’t looking for a job, they’re spending four or five hours a day at machines.’

Easy arrest for the police.
Not everyone on the dole is stoned, if people do need food banks it can be by mistakes made by DWP or sanctions. |

A number of people living in TV's Benefits Street have been charged with drug offences following a series of police raids.
Officers allegedly found class A and B drugs at properties in James Turner Street in Birmingham's Winson Green, where the documentary was filmed.
The Channel 4 show claims to reveal "the reality of life on benefits" on "one of Britain's most benefit-dependent streets".
Following enquiries, seven people have been charged and bailed to appear before magistrates in Birmingham on February 6.
Samora Roberts, 32, was charged with conspiracy to supply a class B drug, conspiracy to supply a class A drug (crack cocaine), possession of a class A drug (diamorphine) and possession of ammunition for a firearm without a certificate.
