But you know what, A4e will put the usual 'positive' spin on things. And they'll be backed up by members of the public who'll come out with tabloidesque terms such as "scroungers" and "layabouts". Looking at some of the more uninformed comments on the Ch4 Benefit Busters page, some even see what A4e does as a good thing.<br /><br />I saw a bit of a BBC prog today called 'Saints and Scroungers'. Apparantly, the program looks at those cheating the benefits system. Just looking at the title, it gives the impression that all those on benefits are undeserving and commiting fraud. Indeed, looking at the Benefits Busters tv ad, is shows a fat couch spud on a couch, remote control in hand Again, showing those on benefits as fat, slovenly, idle sods eating fry-ups and cheap pies all day!<br /><br />The above perceptions suit A4e perfectly as people will see this before they start to look at the ineffeciveness of companies such as A4e and the resulting fraud.imattnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6941116624675227992.post-42894757005636873772009-08-26T04:50:03.199-07:002009-08-26T04:50:03.199-07:00I saw the clips last night.

I think they colour coded the groups didn't they. <br />Many people will be watching the series never having heard of A4e and Emma Harrison, and this second show should be another nail in the A4e coffin. <br />I've been in contact with someone who was on the New Deal at A4e Hull, look out for EricJermainenoreply@blogger.com
