The programme was made, essentially to provoke this kind of reaction - it's like the 2 minute hate in Orwell's 1984. You feel superior to him now?? - great, have a pat on the back People like this idiot do not make up anything like enough of the population to be anything other than an irritating minor worry. If he can cadge that much money from social security and intelligent, unemployed people can't get their's, then there is obviously a cunning at work somewhere If I could cadge that much from the state , I'd be tempted to have a go myself. I'm not going to stand up for any of the decisions he has made but if he has a "f*** you" attitude, it's not confined to him or people like him. He's costing the taxpayer money, and the environment plenty with his 20 kids - but look at the hordes of better off people who have several cars in a driveway (to pick one example) - point out the waste and cost to others and it's a similar attitude. Better dressed and more articulate maybe, but no less disinterested in his/her fellow man. If the state were to "encourage" him to work, cut down on his alcohol, bring his kids up differently, would those that cry "nanny-state" normally, see the irony? None of this stops the following from being hilarious mind you
