Nick and Margaret: we pay...

[TattooEnvy]

Anyone watching?

I'm hoping Nick and Margaret are going to take a balanced non judgy view...

[TattooEnvy]

"she bought me a drink.. Which I thought was nice even though she hasn't got much money..... So she says..."

[Chubfuddler]

HA

more than half goes on pensioners. That's your winter fuel allowance nick. That you don't bloody well need.

GIVE IT BACK

[Lighthousekeeping]

I usually like Nick and Margaret so, I'm switching this on with trepidation.

[ubik]

Poor - I agree

I am totally fed up with being patronised by the BBC

[OhYouBadBadKitten]

:) at nick and Margaret's convo. ( not that we should pit pensioners against the unemployed!)

[OhYouBadBadKitten]

A year ago or so, I barely knew that we had food banks in the UK, probably naively. I thought it was a US thing.

[ubik]

And the government won't touch pensioners because they vote

[LynetteScavo]

I was thinking "Get a whole chicken, and it will last 2 meals" (If you're stingy)

[Chubfuddler]

Indeed ubik

[breatheslowly]

Why isn't there someone following a pensioner living in one room because they can't afford to heat the whole bungalow?

[TattooEnvy]

OhYou, I didn't know either

[Chubfuddler]

God that woman in the food bank is lovely.

[TattooEnvy]

Liam isn't putting himself across too well is he..

[gemdrop84]

What a big big mess it all is, shocked that over half goes on pensioners and unemployed only makes up 10%. Going to switch off, it's making me angry!

[bico]

I think that the increased cost of food is something that is just not being spoken about so this and the GBM programmes at least do that.

[Chubfuddler]

Liam is a bit of a prat.

[breatheslowly]

The disability benefit thing is a bit of a drip feed.

[WafflyVersatile]

Nick and Margaret seem sensible enough.

And that bloke seemed a little bit swayed looking at the other guy's incoming and outgoings sheet.

[breatheslowly]

I'm shocked by how much food has shot up by.

[poorbuthappy]

Turn off the BBC network and plough the money into helping people, through benefits, training, opening up Re-employ throughout the county again.

Fucking hell, I need to turn this absolute fucking crap off.

[Chubfuddler]

Oh.

So Liam perhaps not so much of a prat.

It's massively drip feeding.

[TattooEnvy]

Exactly what I just thought Chubfuddler

[PseudoBadger]

So many twists! Did M Night Shalayman write this :o

[StillSlightlyCrumpled]

This programme is not helping my mood!

[bico]

I think it is a pretty sympathetic programme.
