They've really over egged it by saying he proposed outside primak. Lol

Surely this is just something made up and the DM gave them a bit of money to use their image? Is this how newspapers work?

I feel quite sorry for her

Eh why are you throwing shade on me? did say their life was shit and they probably feel shit and i understand the story is mostly bull.

I'm just saying someone creative would love all that free time and could put it to good use.

I'm not creative in the slightest and I would bloody love all the free time.

Except the thought of being in the position of having to rely on benefits and all the shit that goes with it (ATOS, sanctions, Job Centre fuckery) is grim beyond words.

Seriously, ljwales, this Daily Mail TwatFrother act is hilair.

Hey hey i haven't actually shown them any hate, unlike many here, I understand its a story to exploit people and as I keep saying I know their life is shit.

What MrsToddSherwood said....with knows on.

And ljwales you are showing more ignorance with every post. Do you have ANY idea what it feels like to have schizophrenia? It's different for each person and sometimes self destructive coping habits help.....in the absence of any proper funded therapy.

This story's just been on the bbc local news; they interviewed the woman and her fiance, and although I'd be wary of making diagnoses on the basis of a tv interview (even if I were qualified to make such diagnoses in any event, which I'm not), as a layman, I'd have assumed that both of them have severe learning disabilities. I was horrified that they'd cover such a story, to be honest - DD said that these apparently very vulnerable couple were effectively being displayed as dancing bears for entertainment purposes (not suggesting for a moment it'd be acceptable even if they were dancing bears btw!).

Oh and I've seen this woman on a local news story. She'd like £900 and not £10k, she also wants to pay that back.

Additionally she appeared to have some issues shall we say.

Vulnerable and exploited.

You'd have to be a right gullible twat to fall for the stuff the DM churn out, without looking at the agenda behind it. That or just a nasty piece of work.

I only have experience of this one person with schizophrenia And the current system of just giving him money and letting him sit idle is killing him as all he does is drinks and smokes his way to death. He probably costs more in police and court fees than the average person makes a year.

These people are utterly awful. Being careful not to out myself here but my work brings me in to contact with some of these vulnerable folk who these 'journalists' (using the word very loosely) target. And they are awful. And very manipulative and clever - after all, they also catch the odd MP, millionaire businessmen & royal family member etc with their tactics. They befriend their target, ask them very double edge questions, egg them one and basically do everything to make people do and say things that show them in their worst light. The people being interviewed often genuinely believe they have a 'friend' who is trying to help them out. It's appalling! The researchers for the Jeremy Kyle show are the worst, they dangle money in front of people who are desperate and feed them a pile of * about how it will go and what will be said. They then screw their targets over totally and don't give a f** at the trial of devastation left behind. It criminal but they know the people they target don't have the wherewithal to take them to court for liable/misrepresentation. Appalling :(

I saw this on bbc southeast earlier. Good lord the interviewer should be ashamed of himself. It was awful, filmed from bad angles, shameful and everything else in between.

Well learning difficulties or not, there's no way she will get any loan for something as stupid as a wedding. Hope someone has explained this to her so she can forget the whole thing and concentrate on her Disibility

You'd have thought so, right?

and whoever the fuck thought it was a good idea to take a camera shit of them showing her stomach and braless breasts needs shooting. Was he standing on a choir or something?!

They've obviously asked them leading questions and made them feel like they're just having a friendly chat. Also, I'm assuming that the man works at least part-time, as they don't appear to be getting full hub or full is. £800 a month for two, including rent, is hardly rolling in, is it? In fact I doubt it's possible to live of that in most parts of the country!

I'm not surprised to hear they have learning difficulties. The dm have truly surpassed themselves. How anyone can take them seriously as a newspaper is beyond me.

Haven't seen the TV "news" clip but that sounds utterly wretched. How appalling, to use this vulnerable woman as clickbait. Is it worth complaining? or would it just be a case of them defending themselves by saying that was just what the woman said?

The other couple pictured have bedn on few tv shows going on about their dream wedding but they can't go to work....
Can't comment on this couple though, newspaper could very well have twisted their words.
Wouldn't like to be them though.

they print this type of crap in the gutter press too folks, so many people get riled by the dm on here, but i can't understand how you can form opinions if you never read the dm or are you rehashing other peoples ideas ? just curious...

Ljwales living on benefits is stress free? Really?
Im on cs right now, £71 a week. That's it. You can have that along with my severe pain that i wake up
With and go to sleep with all day every day.
Ill gladly swap!

another thought, flame me, why is it when ever one of these stories comes to light, everyone assumes that there must be mental health problems or tha the 'victims' are always 'vulnerable' in some way, some people would call themselves sensible but everyone has a 'silly misguided ' side and can end up looking daft, face book is apparently full of this type of crap.

We only get £800 a month in benefits between us and after we've paid for bills, a night out at the pub, dog food for our Labrador, cigarettes and the odd kebab, there's barely anything left

If this is what the Wail actually printed then I think they may have slightly overcooked it this time. Did they say how much is her council house is worth? And is there a Kardashian angle?

mrsfuzzy The woman was on a BBC news clip. And it doesn't take a genius to see that her words have been twisted. I am sure she didn't sign up to this interview thinking that this would be the result.

(By the way, I am a journalist and I have some insight as to what my "colleagues" do. Stories like this is why I often hate saying what I do for a living.)

I am curious as to why you wouldn't see this woman as vulnerable? On benefits, too obese to work, living on £800/month ... do you think she's one of society's movers and shakers, manipulating the press for some evil end game?

I only have experience of this one person with schizophrenia And the current system of just giving him money and letting him sit idle is killing him as all he does is drinks and smokes his way to death. He probably costs more in police and court fees than the average person makes a year

Take away his free money and put him to work, I say. He's obviously living it up and feeling brilliant. Schizophrenia aint no thing but a chicken wing...

Living on benefits is not stress free. People have control over how much you get and when.

Being on JSA has made my anxiety go through the roof.
