more claptrap..why people ever take part in these programs is a mystery.

These programs are a fraud because they isolate a set of conditions.

Not mentioned will be the one 2 things that have destroyed tens of millions of jobs around the world : computers and the internet.

The internet (and Google) are decimating the publishing industry worldwide- hoovering up advertising and paying little tax in return.

But ITK will love it and I want him to help me...how can I get a Nissan People carrier on the social ?.

Children who fail to make the grade at school are giving up on their dreams and expect to live off state handouts, a new study has revealed.

More than 2,000 young people aged 16 to 25 were questioned as part of the online survey by The Prince's Trust, which found that a third who leave school with poor qualifications expect to "end up on benefits".

(... but that doesn't mean that ITK should fund them ! Let their parents pay for them).

I think an awful lot of children have been given the impression that they have the right to a fabulous career, and that manual or low paid work is demeaning.

I loved the programme. Especially when the woman with the big car pretended she couldn't pick up the potato. One of the comments in "the Mail" said "Doesn't look like she has any trouble with a fork!"

Indeed, honey!

Of course many refuse to realise that they are not qualified for anything else !!

I bet their siblings are learning HUGE lessons from this - determined not to end up on the scrap heap like their brothers and sisters.

And what might you have qualified for, ITK?

To be a tory bigot...and one who's FIRST job in the morning is to criticise whatever you see.

Perhaps a modern day Alf Garnett, living on this site....

Did you enjoy Part 2 last night, hedda ?

You seem to have gone "cold" on this, hedda?
Not hearing what you wanted to hear?

Anyway, in Monday's episode a 19 year old is forced to move back in with his parents after his housing benefit is taken away.

Any why not?

The parents have been "paid" for appx 18 years - why should we have to supply even more support now?

Did you watch, hedda ?

ALL 3 participants (inc the fat woman in the jogging bottoms) agreed that being forced to do some work was good for them AND society.
