What a farce, what a fake insulting farce. It's shameful this joke of a tv show got made in the first place. I'm so angry about this I could spit teeth. The attitudes of people in this country make my blood boil; if it's not the hang em and flog em brigade calling for kids to be lynched, or people to be forcibly sterilised, it's cynical tv producers quaffing champaigne while plotting another stupid tv show. These people play with the lives of others like the two old guys from Trading Places.Ghost Whistlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04894623504179269430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6941116624675227992.post-16741192292675163742010-03-10T10:02:31.510-08:002010-03-10T10:02:31.510-08:00Fair enough in a way.

I don't know about you, but when I was out of work the only new clothes I got were gifts from friends. Everything else came from charity shops.historianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11922746528891041071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6941116624675227992.post-75828876477575029402010-03-10T09:08:50.132-08:002010-03-10T09:08:50.132-08:00Another thing - what's with the 'slebs'...Another thing - what's with the 'slebs' having to wear second hand clothing? Ok, those out of work usually cannot afford to buy the latest designer gear (despite what architypal Sun and Daily Mail readers think). However, has the BBC not heard of Primark, Officers Club, ASDA and even M&S who sell affordable clothing?<br /><br />This again further stigmatises those out of work. On the one hand, they all wear designer gear, have the latest games consoles, huge flat screen TV's and take foreign holidays. On the other, they all look like tramps! I guess someone out of work is not allowed any dignity.imattnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6941116624675227992.post-3273138083457346082010-03-10T05:21:41.844-08:002010-03-10T05:21:41.844-08:00Anyone else a bit confused by the poor lass Larry ...Anyone else a bit confused by the poor lass Larry comforted. This sounds cynical, but didn't she say she rents out the property he's in. Even if she lives in it there's no way she could do that without HB and yet she seemed to say that ALL she had to live in was JSA. <br /><br />Something seems off about that. <br /><br />Especially as previously Larry wasn't taking it as seriously as Harrison and her ally would have liked.<br /><br />All we need now is John Bird to come along and lose his temper.Ghost Whistlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04894623504179269430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6941116624675227992.post-55017374912151921712010-03-10T04:26:26.683-08:002010-03-10T04:26:26.683-08:00The Guardian's description of the programme as...The Guardian's description of the programme as "celebrity tourism" sums up my opinion perfectly. As I watched the programme I became increasingly aware that it was deeply distasteful - but couldn't put it into words until I saw the Guardian's review.Arthur Gironoreply@blogger.com
