I see there's one coming up in C4 at 9. The BBC had similar programmes recently. I don't live in the UK so could somebody please explain why the focus on this area of late?

Am watching C4 now. Hmm Not sure what to make of it so far, so will just keep watching.

It has become entertainment to peer into the lives of the poor and judge them.
This is just the culmination of a decade of programming, tbh.
We're being groomed to accept the welfare reforms as sensible.
(NB any one of us could be filling in those forms tomorrow.)

Government Propoganda.
