The Estate

[Minder]

Anyone watch "Trouble on the estate" on bbc1 ?

That oul f**ker that spent her day rolling cigarettes needed a good kick in the arse. She was "angry" that the Jobcentre called her in to try and get her a job, and she said she was on that much medication she wouldn't be able to work.

Watched it. Yer woman is a sc**bag.

Only one fella interested in working. Rest don't see the point.

The one lad who seemed interested in working I feel had less than those who did nothing.  That show summarised a lot of the problems associated with welfare in the UK and the attitude of "why work when you get the same if you sign on."

That lady who rolled joints all day wound me up!

It also showed that a lot of people who get into trouble in life don't stand much of a chance when they are brought up in these areas.

To show the children a work ethic so they don't end up the same ? Pride, self esteem ? I guarantee you if she was working the house wouldn't have been an absolute shithole.

Really felt for( and admired)  the the family with the husband  who was working as a cleaner as opposed to getting benefits, both him and his wife were  trying to do the best for the kids - including paying £400 interest on a £500 doorstep loan for Christmas presents , , something seriously wrong with the system where it is so much more lucrative for people to stay on benefits as opposed work
