Benefit Britain

[roshni jeffery]

Jeremy,

I have been watching your show with utter anger!!!

Me and my hubby has worked ever since we left school, I am 33 and he is 46,I am on a career break at the moment which is why I can watch your show, but watching people being proud of being on benefits makes me sick,my mum is on disability and would love to go to work but is not physically able to!!!

What has this country come to!

was also watching the show and it made me so angry!
I understand that people are on benefits for reasons, as there is some genuine cases out there where people are unable to work for health reasons etc,  but for people to sit there who are physically able to work and dont even try!! makes me sick.
Could not get over the fact that someone was receiving £1700 a month on benefits.  My fiance is in the british army and currently serving in afghanistan and him and his boys are putting their neck on the lines for this country and does not get that kind of money! while some people think its ok to sit in their house on benefits, and think 'to hell with it, I dont need to get a job' Really annoyed me to see a 20 year old choosing to do nothing with is life on the show!

 watched show today and i am absolutley disgusted the money people get for doing nothing im a 20 year old single mother to a 4 year old i have worked from i was 14 after school, i left school at 16 when i was pregnant got a job and i provide for my daughter by myself. it angers me that people say they cant go out and work because they have no support i have been in care from i was 3 im living independitly from i was 16 i pay for my daughters childcare and it might be hard but i would rather do without the latest technoligy or desinger clothes so that i can hold my head up high and say im not the sterotypical Teenage mother that people seem to have classed me and others from my bump started to grow

Other people should be ashamed of what there doing !!!!!!!!!!!!
