AIBU to be really annoyed at benefits Britain characters

[Fatallyshy]

Boo hoo your children won't get the latest games consoles while you spend all your time with them but you don't you prat about with your mates getting drunk. While me and my partner work all hours we can to pay the bills we cannot afford the dog (that you have) the new games consoles the holidays and in a few month we won't be able to afford the rent, or the heating.

Aibu to wantt a better life than the those one the dole when I work for everything I have?

ODFOD

you watch crap tv

Well I think Channel 5 hit its target audience there.

HAHAHHAHAHA

They aim this shit at people like you.

I wouldn't worry. As I understand it it's essentially fictional. Cut and pasted together to make it better television. Think of it like those films where are "inspired by a true story"

Though I don't doubt we could find some obnoxious people who are on benefits (and plenty who are not) with the whole country to choose from.

It is tough these days to earn enough for a decent life. I assume you don't get any help at all? Not tax credits or even child benefit?

Woo I had to look up what the heck Odfod meant. I feel educated.

I get child benefit. And loving partner watches crap tv I just get overly annoyed at it. I like ncis

YOU BENEFIT SCUM HOW DARE YOU ACCEPT CHILD BENEFIT FROM OUR POCKETS YOU LAZY ARSE

I watched it too... All I got from it was those people have sad lives really and are unhappy even if they make out they are not... The girl Zara sounded like she had a shitty childhood and is paying the price for it now... I don't begrudge her an empty freezer and a child she will probably never get back and if you do your just weird.

Smelsa is obviously annoyed that I watch rubbish tv.

Just think if it as a party political broadcast for the Tory party! Hey I bet they even funned it.

No I'm annoyed that you take mah moneyz fo yo BENEFITZ

I didn't see it, but it's highly unlikely that these people have anything worth envying really. Would you really want a life on benefits going on cheap shitty holidays and staring at a TV screen for most of your day?

I know it's going to be incredibly frustrating if you are part of the working poor who are significantly worse off than those healthy able bodied people on full benefits, but at least you can have self respect.

Why does everyone want to pollute their children's brains with console games anyway?

Well at least you've got a tv,electric,tv licence...

Well at least this thread has cheered me up immensely, lots of sensible people online.

I gotz me a manshun with my benefitz.

And a goat.

Yeah.

Is this the Channel 5 series with the voiceover refering to everything with the prefix 'benefit'? To wit "Benefit-mum Hayley leaves her benefit-house to walk benefit-dog Scrounger". That one?

I'm watching the lastest episode now. YABVVU unreasonable to take this exploitative crap at face value OP.

Yes that is the one.

part of the working poor who are significantly worse off than those healthy able bodied people on full benefits, but at least you can have self respect.

Woowoo helps write the scripts

at back

But benefit-mum and benefit-house is actually hate speech

Derek unfortunately representative examples wouldn't make very exciting telly.
