Donna Can Finally Go Into Business | S02 E02 | Full Documentary | All Documentary

- We meet the people taking part in the second series of the show. Lorraine, a grandmother from Romford is keen to set up a market stall. Southend single parent Donna is also planning to go into business.
Three long-term families dependent on benefits are given a cash handout of 26,000 each, the current maximum yearly benefit cap for most families. In return, the families must agree to sign off benefits, and see if one large cash sum can turn their lives around for good.
The experiment asks the families to use the money in a way that can positively change their circumstances, make them happier and ultimately remove them from the benefit system. However, there are no strings attached and contributors will make their own decisions, spend money as they want but with the knowledge that they've given up their lives on benefits, and there's no more to come.
Will the families be able to grasp this extraordinary opportunity or will the temptations of a large sum of money in their bank account distract them from their good intentions of building a business or finding work?

"I won't be asking mum for anything... put it into the business" That kid should have been given the cash!
She must have accidentally banged a smart dude in the ally behind the bar.
This happens only in west. How come people who don't work have great phones, smoke cigarettes, and are living on benefits and have 2 great dogs. And all these people are not even close to skinny. They all are fat, obese (perhaps because not working...). They spent almost whole life on benefits...
Come see hardworking people in South asian countries, who work 10-15 hours a day. Awful living condition, Insufficient food and the list goes on.
He may have said that, however when they went shopping, he spent more than his family.
that kid is great he should be well trusted with money.
Botox before fixing the bathroom sink!
Donna - “Nothing gets given to ya, you gotta go out and get it”
completely forgetting the fact she has just been given £26k like 😂
Well you do have to to go the jobcentre every now and then in order to get taxpayers money.
cEverything - He means on the show they’ve given her £26k for simply signing off benefits
Yea, "take a 26k worth of a break". And then see what you can do with your life on your own. You must be crazy to think 26k will feed these people for a lifetime, it's just giving them a break. Some people could use a 5-10k break in their life, to fix it. It's a lot of money when you have none.
@Obey Ted he was making a joke
I WAS THINKING THE VERY SAME
Donna's son is going far in life . Bless him ! With this age and so well responsible
All of a sudden the neighbor is her best friend..." Can you give me a few quid??"
"Here's £200"
😂😂😂Yeh
Funny how quickly the word travelled.
the woman with 3 kids, the oldest ones is very smart how he didn't want money or anything like that. Smart person
Agreed!
Yeah he's got future businessman written all over him. Level headed kid and will go far if he keeps away from drugs (incl alc) and being another dole bludger.
Yeah..that one has a possible future.... He gets it.
She must have accidentally banged a smart dude in the ally behind the bar.
@Rhys McKee Because you are uptight and humorless, not my issue. :D
I have the most sympathy for the last family. That is what our benefits system should be used for. Not for poor life decisions but for people who do fall on hard times
Agreed he saw the demand in
Market for Hgv drivers jumped on it now in full time work that’s how this program should work 👌👍 not just daft ideas & dreams realistic ideas & filling the demand in the employment sector
Agreed
A welfare system so generous that a healthy person can live on it all of their adult lives and raise children, is not a safety net. It is a life option. It encourages people to not support themselves. It encourages misery and poverty , while being portrayed as caring and virtuous. If this TV programme's goal is to promote a fundamental rethink of the UK welfare system, then it should be applauded.
The kid Jake seems to be the most responsible and collected person on the show. They should have given him the money instead. Bet he will not be on benefits one day of his adult life!
was just about to post but would not of been as nice bless you child
He is on benefits now🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@Davidjohnson-o6g And u know this how?
I miss Tony he was a laugh these arnt as entertaining.
arnt is not a word you left school early?
@@roidnerd2501 nah its my phone typing quickly
@@hifi8844 yeah just winding you up others who are snowflakes would kick of over little things like that but that is kids for you this day and age

@@roidnerd2501 Well it's something Tony would say I suppose haha
36:00
"nothing gets given to you.. and dropped on your lap"
*10 mins earlier, £26000 drops on her lap*
Bathroom is so important to me I decided to spend over £1200 on botox. Yeah. Hole in sink? Nah, I'll spend over a grand on me face.
Hahaha That's what I thought. I was like....what?? She's totally forget about the bathroom.
😂😂😂😂 come to think of it yes she forgot about that . I guess she still has to bathe in the dark lol
It’s a rented house, so it’s up to the landlord to fix that, they showed the skin for effect of the TV Show.
@@wazitSomethingISaid It's up to the landlord but if the landlord is refusing to fix it, move or replace it yourself with some of the money, sometimes you just have to bite the bullet.
Her face was in worse condition to be honest
Donna's oldest son is precious. That young man adores his momma and is smart as a whip. He's going places.
Tony was the best ,most funniest guy on earth
Piotr szymanski phaaaaa phaaahaha 😉
Tony made this programme
@@Leo-nv9eu And sadly he ended up losing to the system and his business went bust :(
@@worldkat1393 he does security now
Completely agree, would love to see him in another show, or even a show of his own.
Cant afford a sink. How much are you spending a month on cigarettes....
I was just about to say the same her house is trash but she got money for cigarettes and of course her daughter is probably living off benefits too. I left school after my exams I didn’t do well as I thought but my first thought was get into collage etc so all available free courses and better myself got volunteering work and had been working in different jobs since 16 and only signed on twice in my life only for few weeks. My last job was in 2011 and I got married started a family. I have 3 kids and I do get support from child tax and child benefit. But I have paid into the system and am just awaiting my youngest to go full time as currently he is only 3 hours morning nursery.
If I was ever in her position my kids would have basics like food clothing as comfortable house I could afford. Not tablets designer clothes and money for cigarettes.
In my eyes benefits should be for only the special needs and people with health problems who can’t work physically. I know mental health is a issue but it’s been exploited as depression etc. More needs to be done. I know many family’s both asain and non asain who just sit on benefits.
My friend was on benefits so I got her off benefits and she is going collage just started her volunteering and I support her finincailly so that she can better her future.
Personally you should only allow to have kids once you have a job a roof and money.
There were probably more deserving candidates than this lady she is able bodied but just lazy. I just like to add my husband is working has been doing since we have been married.
What is the criteria to apply on this show anyway.
Right!
And why is the sink broken in first place. It doesn't just break like that itself. Someone had a tantrum.
smoking is essential. I smoke a pack a day no questions asked.
@@michaelc2472 I smoke on and off. Difference is I work for my money to buy them. Not claim benefits.
I was so sad to hear of Lorraine's passing. I really wished her a lifetime of happiness with her stall after everything she had been through in her life. You could tell, despite everything, she was a fantastic mother and grandmother. May she rest in peace.
So sad she was lovely rip
@Stuart MacPherson And....?
😢😢
Leave school early + smokes + loads of kids = Benefits
Plus the coloured kids 🤣
IQ was never in their DNA /
@@rossjay7277 What is that supposed to mean?
King Pepe please say with me
NEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET
Ross Jay what do you mean? 🤔🤔 and why is being coloured funny? 🤔
Greetings from California. I'm a single parent and once I went down to social services to see if I could get food stamps ( it's a food assistance program funded by the government). I was working and just needed a little help feeding my growing daughter. Long story short the social worker told me I made TOO MUCH MONEY. I just laughed (to keep from crying) and told her thank you. It's a shame that I pay taxes to a system that wouldn't help me unless I wasn't employed 😡
That's exactly why a lot of people end up on benefits without working. It's the only way to survive for a lot of people.
@@melissamorton1655
Or you do like the rest of us and get by until you can make things better.
Welfare creates dependency.
*TOO MUCH MONEY
That's how it works! People who work but fall on temporary hard times can't get help. Those who DON'T WORK, & just pop out kids...get everything free! The world is backwards!
It’s unfair I know some people where I live work full time but would be better off if they quit and then claimed all the benefits they would be entitled too. They try and get no support because they’re are employed full time.
She's got £26k to start her life again, not £260K or £2.6m, yet she's blown through £538 on day one. No hope. Jesus.
I was thinking Tony or Scott should have bought a 8 seater mini bus and he could have done airport runs
football games
Stag & hen nights
Youth club Trips
Etc loads of options I’ve got 2 now 8 seated and a 16 seater I’m doing well of it as well as still working my own self employed job
I loved the way Donna’s eldest son told her to take it slow, to not spend it all instantly and the fact he could understand a business isn’t just set up over night especially with a rented establishment is brilliant! I presume he’ll be successful when he’s older.
Also, the woman getting the Botox is absolutely idiotic and my predictions is she will be back on benefits.
Sadly Lorraine died last year.
Larena fiandes oh that’s tragic, awful to here.
@@thebastion6239 you should remove your hateful comment 😡
She died of Botox poisoning 😢
@@mrjelfs3705 she died of cancer
Jacob is the only person on this programme that I’d give 26k to.
*Jake
She spend 100 in perfume shop she said she wanted a carpet
Their priorities are messed up. Has no bathroom sink but rather than fix it gets botox...and single mom has no curtains or blinds but goes out for £500 meal...wow
The meal was £136.50 I’m pretty sure
@@Harry-us8nb Doesn't really matter, she was already down £500 after the meal regardless it was money wasted
Yeah cause they're poor they shouldn't have anything nice or enjoyable.
Shadow let the woman have something that makes her feel better
I understand why they spoilt themselves. It’s been awhile since they could but yes hopefully they do spend the money on the stuff they were crying over .
They don't have carpets, then blow 150 pounds on a meal....
People without money who suddenly fall into money will be penny less again in no time.
Priorties
🤯🤯🤯
They've been given more than enough to have a nice one off dinner, and get carpets though. You can't resent them for celebrating and having a fancy dinner once at the beginning.
i was thinknig of that
The feeling when you sign of benefits? It's like birthday and Christmas together. I was unemployed for four years cause I took care of old family members and made sure they get help in every day life and after that got a job and signed of benefits and it's like the best feeling ever
She doesn't know the money is coming... but there is a camera crew at her house... rrrriiiiight
The crew were there on the premise of interviewing the families. They knew what was about to happen, the families didn't.
@@lynnchanceable As if. You don't send a camera crew to the hundreds of applicants so that they don't know who the winner is. They would have 1 crew going to each of the 6 winners houses and the other 94+ houses would not have even been visited lol.
@@chomes8048 No but they tell them that they do it to everyone.
@@lynnchanceable If you really believe that, you're exactly who this type of tv is made for lol
Correct.
cant lie, starting up a hairdressing business with 26k is super super ambitious because she has to consider rent and other priority expenses first, if i was her i would've tried to land a hairdressing job first for stability and then work on opening my own salon.
Freelance hairdressing is very profitable, my neighbour is never at home
d alb least she’s utilising her skills instead of doing some dodgy short term off the back of a van business such as Tony in season one. More realistic
How without a license
absolutely! like, maybe rent a chair at a salon, establish clientele, then branch out from there. Or get your client friend to refer you to people and do a mobile business to go to your clients house
Why is it nearly all these people on benefits have loads of kids, pets and smoke.
@norton wayne in Canada a pack of cigarettes is $15 CAD for 20. Cutting that off adds so much money to the budget.
Cause they are, hate to say it, losers...
@norton wayne Its a sad reality
Because they have the IQ of a brick.
@@deveelvraat3404 Let me know when you solve world hunger mortimar
£26,000 is the same as £33,000 pre tax assuming you have no student loan payments.
Plus £1000-2000 a year for council tax they dont pay. Call it £35,000.
Think about the time and effort it takes to get a job of that wage.
These women literally get to spend all day with their mates and kids.
They are essentially retired but have never had to work.
I’ve always calculated it that way too.
Eye opening for them when they realise just how cushioned they have been while on benefits…26k doesn’t actually go that far.
Does that mean you don't need 26k to do the same? To change your life, fail and change again? I mean, 26k changes nothing in a big picture... :)
@@catthegipsy25 Can still give you the initial boost needed to go out and make a change. It's not about whether the money is 'deserved', if you get them off benefits even for a few years and paying (some) tax, it is cost effective.
The fact that she is shocked about her rent being £800 shows how benefits work. They pay for you and you have no clue about what you are spending.
i was shocked to. thats $1600 in my currency. thats ALOT of money for rent. people are getting to greedy
@@Charlieto its because its very close to london the prices will be very high
Thats why they cant budget.
@Jonesy M She is dyslexic
You mean you have no idea what you are costing…….the tax payer!
once they start paying household expenses the money will be gone less than a year
@British Patriot to*
But if they can get their business going where they make more money, then they'll have enough to pay for the necessities for the year. They have to start somewhere
That is what people forget: the cost of living keeps getting harder for the recipients since they now have to pay for everything.
Donna needs her oldest son as a business partner.
Yes, from what we have seen so far he seems to be a intelligent person.
It will go fine for him in his life.
Donnas eldest son is wise beyond his years. He cares so much for his mum. I hope he has a very successful future.
She must have accidentally banged a smart dude in the ally behind the bar.
he looks like he will be on his own business fixing and building computers
@@Mrbfgray loooool I love how you commented this like 5 times and I’m still laughing
great plan buy botox and fancy food, the dude with the racoon seems like bill gates compared to these two...
That guy's been smashing it apparently his business to this day still holding strong
Haha, "The dude with the racoon". That made me laugh, well done. I really enjoyed the first series, and I have to admit, I doubted that guy. I'm very happy to have been proven wrong!
The racoon was his one serious mistake. He now runs a successful business. Sorry to break that to you, I can see how badly you wanted him to fail.
The dude with Racoon is now successful, he just needed the cash flow to make his vision a reality.
The other guy Tony, his business failed, but he has a job and said he is planning other business ventures as he now has a steady stream of income.
They are so close, yet so far from financial succes. Instead of spending the money she got, she should have spend the PROFIT. She wanted to double the money so use the profit for your luxury stuff. For you and I these things are pure logic but she grew up in the system and never learned it as a child. And learning it as a child is a lot easier and cheaper than learning it as an adult.
Instead of spending hundreds on a fancy dinner...they ordered pizza. Stay humble :)
Sadly they can just sign up again for benefits. I would love to see them all in 5 years...off benefits. Highly doubtful living in the UK.
I make 60k a year in Canada and can't afford to have kids. My taxes pay for other people's children.
Sad scenerio...
They technically could but in the UK I believe if they have over £16000 in "savings" then they are excluded from receiving housing benefit. Same goes with the JSA benefits etc. So if they did sign straight back on, they'd be commiting fraud. However, yes they could spend all the £26000 in one month then sign back on the month after, there's no way Channel 5 can prevent them from doing that!
Same in Australia our taxes go to other people kids.
Why doesn’t the DWP stop their benefits, rather than the poor innocent disabled who suffer ?
that’s 34k in the UK which is a decent salary.
@@thomaswilcox5265 yes thats right. I lost my job in 2004 and because i had more than £16k savings i didnt get a penny in benefits. If i didnt get another job pretty quick od of had to blow through my savings until they got below £16k.
Never worked a day in her life 53 ?
She is never going to work thats just a given. Like the other single mother in season one never worked and still no job.
These people are chosen to fail otherwise t he show would be boring.
Hando Romper
They are not chosen to fail, they have decided to fail because they don’t wanna live different.
Some of these people , unfortunately are just plain LAZY!!!!
She’s the Rachel of season 2
It’s wrong
Hando Romper Because the entire population of single mothers are all the same 🙄 grow up
There she is spending £1100 on Botox and lip filler and there’s me here trying to save up £1500 to take a course to learn how to do it so I can start up my own business.
She got royally ripped off. That should have been about £400
@dilara mutlu well she is dead now so that should make you happy, hope you are never in a situation where you have to rely on the welfare state 😡
If these families didn’t smoke they could easily save £2K per year
lol, its not as easy as that. Usually, its to cope with the depression and overarching issues - just like their constant need to be around people & love , i.e have kids and animals
A P in Tasmania a pack of 30 cost $38 . I gave up 36 days ago and have already saved one grand
@@lyndeljames8647
I'm on the Gold Coast. I roll my own. I buy one 25 gm packet per week. Costs about $43.
I'd only save about 250 in 36 days. But I guess it adds up over time.
Congrats to you. 👍
Just in time for Xmas..
@@lyndeljames8647 bet u really want 1 go on have 1 u deserve it
Exactly
Donna's house is a dream come true for so many in India.... but the people here are much happier, and live very simply. And work very very hard. My maid, a widow ( which is a big deal because most hindu widows don't remarry) raised 3 little daughters single handedly... one is a graduate, one a beautician and the third is on her last leg to getting her set of skills polished up. One daughter is married and another is engaged.. all the households that my maid works for and even the people of the neighbourhood chipped in to give their all to her daughters ... of course my maid deserves all the happiness in the world! she has worked for 10 hours a day... physical hard work... mind you, in India we sweep n swab our floors atleast once a day, everyday.... 99% don't have dishwashers. .. and around 85% don't have washing machines... so she has been swabbing squatting, etc. ..
There are so many like her!
A 53 year old woman who's shocked at how much her rent is... and it's only 800 a month?
This tells you SO much about this system.
Plus her daughter is headed that way.
- London is expensive and prolly the landlords have it all worked out-prices.
I dont see anyone who is a horrible person here at all
'Only 800?' That's a 3 bed house in most regions.
@@-spudman2.054 dream on. I don't live London but 1 bed apartments here arevaround around £825
She probably is
You know she die of cancer and her daughter took over the clothe business,which she stlill run it now...She doing way better then Donna and Sophie
single moms start spending like there's no tommorow. what a shock
Id say ALL the people on this have a spree on their initial payout.... Remember Tony giving his son 400 for a console??
@@annadawn921 He knocked him down from the 600 odd quid he was asking for with his pitter patter skills tho the legend.
There's nothing wrong with Donna's place... it's clean and cheerful. Her children are clean well cared for.
She could have fixed those dressers with a bottle of wood glue.
Getting your HGV license is the best idea someone has ever came up with on this programme 👌
If these people wanted to work, they would and are more than able. The truth is they don't. It's sheer laziness. While the rest of us bust a gut at work to survive and earn a respectful living these fully able bodied individuals sit around doing sod all. No sympathy.
spot on
I think of the poor people who get up in the morning in the dark, cold to pay taxes to fund their lifestyle
Thank you for the upload! I'm really into this show.
Me to. I watched the 1st episode and now I'm hooked.
Why would you throw all the cash everywhere and have your kids neighbours and friends throwing it around aswell?
Its probably not real money ,but why are kids in on it,going around with bundles of cash if its real .
Coz they can, get over it
@@jowilliams2822 just because you can, doesn't mean that you should. Get over it.
It would be helpful to have consultants guide them along the way..
Well they can't that's part of the experiment for them to do things thereselves it's entertainment for the public to watch.
Why didn't the one who was educated in hair dressing work in a hair salon while her kids were at school all those years????????????????????????????????
It’s not that easy. Sometimes you can lack the self-confidence to do it, or it might cancel benefits that you need to have to be able to pay your bills and the job alone doesn’t pay enough
Its trying to find a job that the hours suit around school most hair salons are looking workers for weekends when its busiest meaning many mothers cant do it as schools childcare facilities are closed for weekend
@@elernation5519 sure, but she could have saved up over all those years. Loads of people struggle with self-confidence/esteem issues yet still manage to struggle through and not sponge off benefits.
@@djfhfh she had several years to find something.
@@lauratt7743 like i said its very hard to find a job that works around childcare, also childcares that expensive sometimes it just wouldn't be worth going to work
donnas oldest kid seems the most smart out off all of this series
The first two families are the reason the last family have a bad name for being on benefits, honestly really felt for them
True, although I feel for all the kids
It's not their fault
The first thing the guy said was ' I'm doing my HGV licence' He didn't need £26000, he needed £3500. Discretionary funding for training should be the centre point of the benefits system.
1st RULE: You do not talk about FIGHT CLUB. (Or in this case, the money, and definitely don't tell the younger kids.).
Should have given the money to Donna's oldest kid. He would have the best chance of doing something long lasting with it
She must have accidentally banged a brilliant dude in the ally behind the bar once.
Maybe she cannot breathe because you smoke in the house, also when you spend more in month on smokes than food, that is messed up!
53 years old, never worked a day in her life, shocking, I am 30 and I started working when I was 16
On benefits for 35 years and blame it on the system u was raised in really ur the only one who can do something about it i was also raised by the system and no one ever gave me nothing and i own three businesses now and have only had public asistence for 9 months my whole life so that is no excuse your in control of ur own destiny
And here I am, 38yr old carpenter. Worked since i was 11. I pay £250 a week in tax. But I'm alone in my room with no cash for a Christmas dinner
i keep seeing people saying that they was working since so young. some one must of lied to me some where coz i grew up thinking it was illegal to work before 16. but wanted to start doing some thing when was 14
@@Charlieto it should be illegal not to put your kids to work, within limits of course

Absolutely love this series... keep 'em coming!
Genuinely felt happy when the 3rd family opened that briefcase. Proper real people and they are all deserving of it.
Can't wait to hear how they got on!
“I hate being on benefits” but she’s been on them but she’s been them for 38 years! Please give us a break who you think your fooling
You don’t stay on something for nearly 40 years if you hate it🤦♀️
Some people do stay on something for long periods of time and hate it... But in this circumstance I 100% agree with you and the benefits system needs to be "stricter"
Because looking for a job is just so difficult, right?
give them a job or education NOT money: then see if it works out!
You cannot make a TV show off normal people. You need stupidity, degradation to keep people watching
@@Anatol_SG , pretty true unfortunately.
Anatol G i would love to see people who actually deserve it get the money though
16mins in her son is a legend so far to his mother
This is incredible, life changing for these families. Not to mention, so much cheaper for the system to guide these families along the way to their dreams. I feel this will save the taxpayers millions of £ in the long run. This needs to be a program everywhere!!
The fact Donna just threw away £200 to a friend JUST like that, geez. Her son had more brain sells.
The irony of your post... Brain cells.
I will give up my benefits if Tony gets his own show
Tony the second hand blok?
@@Ethankeenan02 yupp :)
Haha
Those who were physically throwing piles of cash around the front room when they received their life changing sum will be checking down the side of the sofa in 6 months time when they are skint hoping that a 20quid note gave theme the slip in amongst all the excitement .
Donner don’t get a salon , go mobile love .
It makes me very nervous when they throw the money around. LOL. I would be far too nervous it would be lost.
How come the ones who can’t afford it always smoke
Not once did someone think to take a trade course for certification to be able to get a decent job. It only cost me $2000 to do my phlebotomy course and was the best decision of my life.
Woman on benefits:
Son below age of 10 has a lyle and Scott polo on... That's some real poverty right there haha 😂
It's a kids polo. The family that bought it would have donated it to charity once the son had grown out of. Or it could be a knock off for a fiver from the local market
There are different types of poverty, stop looking at it in a comparative culture kind of way - its dumb.
@@crok22 pahahaha what? have you ever lived as a poor child getting things from charity? defo not designer brands lol give your head a wobble

Ever heard of fake?? Probably from the fake shops
I can't believe one of these fellas says "it's great being self sufficient, being able to look after your family, be a man" - right after being GIVEN 26k 🙄🤔🤦♂️
Jacob is a very supportive son
How tf do you break a sink???!!!
She either dropped expensive perfume bottle in or had drunken fight with one of her bfs.
Anybody else noticed that when each person is given their £26k that they fail to shut the front door? I would be making my house as secure as possible with that sort of cash about.
The irony of one of the women saying "Nothing gets given to you for free! Nothing just falls in your lap!" YOU'VE JUST BEEN GIVEN 26K 🤔
This money offers them dignity. It gives them the feeling to be part of society. That's what makes them happy. Dignity.
For ten minutes and it's nothing compared to EARNED money.
@@Mrbfgray Ten minutes? I don't think so. I think, the money was a kickstarter to them, they began believing in themselves. All of the sudden, they were offered opportunities. That's what gave them dignity. It was already in them and it is kind of astonishing that it only needed that little to make things happen.
@@okj4521 I can't argue with that. Whatever works.
@Robert Dunn Self respect comes from self reliance and overcoming difficult struggles, you can't gift such.
@Robert Dunn It's an obvious fact, why do you resist it? Does it clash with your laziness? I pity "trust fund kids" for example, nothing there to envy, parents are doing massive disservice by making life too easy for their kids, all wise parents know it.
What a decent kid JP (i think thats his name) is - not asking for any of the money, where as other families iv seen kids instant ask for PlayStation etc
Tony's kid asked for PlayStation 😂😂😂
@@vorebiz I agree even now I’m 14 and I wanna start working and earning my own money, something I can say I worked for that, I could not imagine asking for a PlayStation from my dad, instead I would ask him to invest into something that will be successful instead of wasting it on me.
How come both parents all of the sudden found the time for full time job and business and their sons health problem is no longer an issue....
As their son is now older and after years of looking after him, they have got stuck in the system that is very hard for people to get out of. Now being older their son is able to do more for himself, however getting out of the system is the hard part an now thats been done. They broke free from a system going around in circles an with the lump sum can pay for any additional care if needed whilst they work
Dan Ress such an ignorant comment. I agree with you @jaymee fletcher. My mums been out of work for 20 years with 2 disabled sons with different needs. Although they are now older and a lot better it is daunting for my mum to think about going to work. Perhaps you shouldn’t be so judgmental Dan Ress!
Problem is they pick on the wrong people the DWP. They let these people get away with it, yet the ones who face barriers to work are forced to work
Just Peace I think its fine when people have a legit reason why, but these people who refuse to work even though they are capable annoy me
@@justpeace1262dole ponce
Jake’s mother is so lucky to have such a responsible young man for being so young. He helps her with every aspect of daily living goes to school and helps with the care of his brothers.
If you had to wake up early every morning to earn that 26 grand,you wouldnt be throwing it around the room!!!
This is such a slap in the face for those who work hard all their lives and try to earn enough to make something of themselves. What about giving everyone 26K and ending the benefits system?
The media loves the benefits system
You should feel proud of yourself for working hard all your life rather than being judgmental towards others.
Exactly. Where's my 26k?
It makes my blood boil that these people who haven't worked in years get a 26k business startup fund and could potentially become millionaires whilst most people who have worked at minimum wage have had to save up to start their own businesses.
It's an utter disgrace to public and civic decency.
@Jin Amarasinghe yes get over yourself and the rest of these angry people be grateful for what you’ve got and hope other people succeed
How's it a slap in the face? A company is running an experiment, you don't fit the criteria. Get a grip. World doesn't revolve around you love.
Just over 2000 packets of cigarettes later, Lorraine was skint.
Well, after a cervical cancer diagnosis, Lorraine was dead in 2018. Lorraine Worrall from Romford. Google her.

Notice how people on benefits can afford to buy expensive pure bred dogs.
First, you don't know how they got them, nowadays such dogs get rehomed a lot. Second, they had their reasons to fall into the benefits loophole, obviously they always wanted to keep working. Don't judge on appearance.
i want a Labrador but cant afford one ffs and i work
@@Cvvvv684 Had their reasons? Like no brain?
and phones. Who pays for the kids' phones? They don't need them. They ought to be READING.
They live better than most who work and earn a bit more than minimum.
Donna has an amazing son. A credit to her
don't give the credit to her. I know exactly what that boy has lived through. He's disgusted by his mother's life choices, thats why he didn't hesitate to forego anything because he knew he has culpable ignorance. He knows that if his mother fails, its because of her poor choices. The boy is simply analyzing the mother and her mistakes, so he knows he won't do the same.
She drank everyday
Why she getting Botox,the first thing she should of done is the bathroom!
Because when you reward someone for doing nothing with their life and not even trying, they tend to get a tad narcissistic
Yep total personality change but still a bludger
Jacob likely has the hots for his Mom's BFF! Giving 200 immediately to her kind of had me feel uncomfortable like Tony's son buying the PS4.
No carpets no window blinds =scumbag? Pandora must have ,Yeah right, please woman..this show is hilarious and people attitude on it even more
I love British TV ❤❤
Same
Why?
My riotous love began with Doctor Who and MI-5 (Spooks)!
@@drab8591 they have a lot of shows that im interested in :)
hardcorvancour that’s bizarre to me, I couldn’t imagine anyone other then British people to be even remotely interested about a show like this.
stop smoking grandma you wont need botox
Absolutely no incentive for people to work when the government make it so easy for them not to.
Sadly, it’s the genuine disabled who suffers and they are forced to find work. They won’t touch these people at all
"I'm gonna stand my ground" against the guy she needs to approve her license. Yeah see how that goes love.
What did she mean by Spanish children's clothes anyway. She really bugged me in this bit, like she's entitled to a stall at the market
So two adult kids. You don’t need to stay at home anymore....
the cost of staying alive is a need to stay at home. im happy my dad doesnt want to kick me out coz i know 100% that there is no chance i could survive. rent alone for a place is at least 2x more then what the benifit pays so i would be stuck living in my car. which means no kitchen so can only have very basic food. which means will get super sick from being so malnurished from the mega limited food.....for some people its not realistic to live on own. why is it a thing that people have in their head that people gotta be out and living on their own by the time they are 20?
I moved out at 17, I'm not saying it makes me a better person, but unless you move out of your comfort zone, you'll likely be there forever.
Charlieto, you’re absolutely correct! Today with the high cost of living the average young adult is not ready to leave home at 20. Those who left home early probably went and lived with someone else besides family but still was unable to fully care for themselves financially!
Its not even that tho, the kids can find jobs and help their parents
The narrator said it best...changing your life takes MORE than just money.
It's ridiculous how they just hand these people this money and none of them know how to handle money, budget, be responsible etc and none of them even THINK to ask someone with experience (accountant, banker, etc) what to do. It's sad that they are just left to their own devices in this 'experiment'.
Looking forward to see how this series goes
Kim's family celebrates with a modest Dominos yet Donna goes for a 500 quid meal says it all really
The meal was 136 pounds not 500
I think quitting smoking should also be one of the terms for receiving the money.
botox and nowhere to wash her face lol
this blonde woman spend on cigaretes more than on groceries
yeah her voice lol
wont be long till cancer gets her..when that voice goes down that low then a few years later they will be gone
seen many go that way
smoking is an appetite suppressant and cigs are cheaper than groceries. A lot of poor people smoke so that they can give their kids more food and not feel so hungry themselves.
@DDS Software oh yes
steve james sadly she has passed away . She died last year
lostinthelookingglas I understand, it must be hard but where is their priorities ?
Oh no no carpet, its wooden flooring not the ennd of the world hhaha
Yeah I had the same so I sanded them down and varnished them, looks great!
wood floor is better.
I prefer wood!!!
Its so sad to watch these people who have no clue about business ....they get a whoppin 26k...which is nothing....and think theyre just gonna start a successful business overnight...they remind me of children playing house. None of them seem to realize this is all the money they get for a whole year. And none of them have a clue of the risks and sacrifices involved in being a biz owner.
I own my own business...took me 2yrs to turn a profit and 8 yrs to get it running 6 figures. I still wear the same ratty clothes I've always worn and scrimp and save bc .....payroll.
Lorraine spends more on tobacco per month than on food for her family!
James Ponder I thought you were exaggerating, until it got to the point where Lee actually read it out loud! And she didn’t even question it! I think I would question whether or not I needed them if I heard I spent more on them than on my family’s food budget!
Incredible!
I was shocked to hear that! 😲
And...
She should stop smoking because her lungs are damaged already...
@@samsamcupcakes6476 No need to sam she pass away last year
"Nothing in this life is just handed to ya..." lel
woow, having a Hyundai Tucson on benefits, I guess I'm in the wrong field of work....
If you're talking about Adam and Kim then that car would be for their disabled son 🙄
Also you can work and still claim disability, so your comment is rude and presumptuous.
@@mamof5147 obviously everyones situation is different but one thing that annoys me is when walking from the back of a supermarket carpark from my 12 year old 115k mile car is getting near the front of the store at the disabled bays to walk past 18,19 and 69 plate cars all with what looks to me like able body people driving. Like I've said I don't know them or there situation but I work full time and do self employed work on my days off and still struggle to put the heating on or buy myself new clothes never mind have a brand new car. Just can't understand how it's fair.
Im disabled and can use part of my disabilty payment to lease a car. They take the money straight from my benefits. They take £56 a week.
