To think that White Dee from Benefit St isn't doing people with depression any favours

I've just seen White Dee from Benefits St being interviewed on Sky a News about the budget.

She said she can't work due to her having depression- yet she can appear on TV and is not ruling out standing as a politician Hmm

White Dee is awful anyway for the treatment of her Son.

I thought this when she was on This Morning yesterday. I know about depression. She isn't depressed. Just fucking bone idle.

Why do you think having depression stops people from having opinions, or the ability to express them publicly?

I saw her on This Morning yesterday. Didn't realise who it was til after. Why is she called that BTW?

I don't think it stops people having opinions but I fail to see how it prevents her from working a normal job when it allows her to 'work' on TV and to consider becoming a politician.

Because she is White and the other Dee on the street was Black.

Cos there were 2 Dee's on the programme- it refers to their skin colour.

I think it's more likely she can't work as she got sacked from her last job for stealing from her employer.

Well the whole show didn't do anyone any favours did it?

They are a bunch of people who live up to various stereotypes.
