Look the type of people, they look all the same. Low hygiene, smoking, mess in the house, don't want to work because the wellfare makes it easy for them, big families etc.
As usual...all smokers. !!! Im nearly 68...still work full time on my feet all day...lifting heavy stuff.. I have arthritis too....but cant imagine sitting at home all day....ive worked since aged 14 and hate the thought of retiring. These people are pathetic.
Did you watch the video? Phil volunteers at a food bank. He works part-time for free. And he’s a veteran. He’s one of the people who deserve some help.
The people who have the time to self educate, get fit, and comb the supermarkets for the bargains, just seem to spend their days smoking, complaining, and playing with their tablets (social media) what a bloody waste!!!

Richard asking his wife if they could try for a baby is outlandish on so many levels. She's 61, which is a huge obstacle (shockingly not impossible with IVF but it's expensive), but he's also lazy & just spoke about not meeting his rent. Madness.
Most women that age have already expelled all of their eggs, and are all the way thru menopause. If all they can afford are their deathly coping sticks, how could THEY afford a dependent child?

I am surprise he didnt say 'I am not racist but....' before he made that statement.....Why does he want the border closed, does he think he will get more dole or get off his behind and get a job?

England is overcrowded and immigrants strain every social service. I agree these people are useless bums, but bringing in more people isn’t helping the situation.
Yes he thinks he will get more dole money with less immigrants. With the tone of the narrator “his two cents worth” makes what he says seem so unimportant. Which it actually is!
@Lou Icious the Werewolf What they are saying is if we don't kiss the butts of everything 'foreign', we are automatically "racist". That word is thrown around so loosely, it's ridiculous.
They are only among the 0.2% who benefit scrounge. It certainly not In excess of 20% per the authoritarian far right claim. It's certainly not rife. While it's correct to lambast them, it's pathetic to attack 20% more. Tnst what the programme is about, to make people think it's s widespread disease such as people doing everything possible to avoid employment to pay their way. The stupidity of those who continue to vote for the authoritarian far right tories who keep believing ridiculous nonsense no wonder it's so hard to get rid of the tories under the despicable FPTP electoral system. Starmer must work with all other non right wing opposition parties at the next general election to stop the dictatorial tories clinging to power again.
@@dvidclapperton you’re a moron. What is the source of your made up statistic that states “among the 0.2% who benefit scrounge.” Also, what methodology was used to arrive at this “fact?”
@@tattie278 There's no proof that benefit scrounging is widespread and rife up and down the country. But that's what the diktats of the authoritarian far right tory government want people to falsely believe that it's rife in Birmingham, Newcaatle, Liverpool, Manchester, Norwich, Southsmptom, Exeter etc and make people falsely think that the last labour government caused it and that it will get even worse under a labour government for votes at the general election to keep them clinging to power. Starmer must work with all the other non right opposition parties in the UK at the general election that between all of them exceed 50% to stop another unwanted tory majority government on 34% to 36% on a low turnout. These programmes don't prove that it is, but are good for the tories to stoke up resentment among the general public, and maintain the tory thirst to keep controlling us. What the tories want us to believe is that benefit scrounging is widespread and rife rven though it's nowhere near what is being claimed. The real truth is the vast majority of benefit claimants who can work full time and pay their way are desperately constantly looking for full time work and stay in full time employment, only a very small minority of benefit claimants that can work are scrounging. Under a labour government, the last one (Blair then Brown), it was very strict at job centre in terms of benefit claimants being extremely busy constatly looking for full time employtment attending job interviews, it certainly never slackened off at all from the previous tory government. Signing on, leave the job centre and not have to do anything at all to look for work to try to gain employment for 2 weeks, get your giro cheque, then repeat the cycle under a labour government is the biggest very false myth there is in relation to unemployment. Changing government is no huge risk in terms of unemployment policy, things would not have slackened off under a Corbyn government had he been elected as PM. A myth perpetuated by the far right, creating false perceptions among enough people to vote Tory to keep them clinging to power with the assumption that labour must fight the generwl election burrowing a lone furrow, even though the tories set a precedent at the last election with the despicable Johnson colluding with the even more despicable Farage to significantly help the Tories to gain their 80 seat majority.
I work as a lawyer getting people Social Security. Those who are marginally qualified or disqualified always have opinions about why other people shouldn't get the benefits.
Thanks to people like you, I got my much-needed, Social Security disability income! Thank you so much! I truly cannot live without it. It is my lifeline because I cannot work due to several possibly life-threatening pre-existing conditions so, again, thank you so much! About a month ago, I almost died from pneumonia, respiratory failure, and sepsis. I had to be put on life-support. God is good! It took me two years to get SSDI and I had to get a lawyer involved. She worked hard for two years to make sure that I got it. What else is that? We had a very tough judge who hardly ever signs off on these benefits. However, he looked at my great work ethics and saw that I have been working very hard for about 30 years. He said that this one I will sign off on. I love you ladies and gentlemen!! ❤❤🎉🎉
It's so easy to apply for disability in the US I can't believe people hire lawyers. The lawyers hardly do anything and then they collect their % of the back pay

Well I got a former friend who had kids just for benefits and tax return money and she lives almost entirely for free . Free rent, ridiculous amount of food stamps …. Medical insurance . I’m all for helping people but when u spend an entire 10 grand on urself every tax season just goes to show it really is just for money . Shameful
I sure hope that they do not reproduce, there are enough defective genes in the family at present, without adding some more! But they could have some fun trying!
No way, she has had 7 children already, that would be completely irresponsible, if she was young and attractive it would be tempting for him, but the opposite is the case
@@grant7345 it's got nothing to do with her having 7 children before. The fact is that a 60 year old woman cannot have children, she's too old, no eggs left. The fiancee even suggesting it shows he's completely ignorant

Listen…I’m in 🇨🇦. And I’ve been on disability for like 8 yrs, trying to overcome my addiction. Now I’ve only recently managed to leave it behind, and have started working PT. It took me a long list of treatment and rehab, hospital stays, detoxes, and other recovery measures. I’ve tried to work - I have 50 jobs on my resume to prove it. None lasted more than 6 months before I get fired for my problems. I did have to eventually decide to not work and focus in recovering. It was so very hard a journey. Yet I am one of a thousand that actually does it. I can’t think of any addict that I knew who was on disability who actually had a desire to clean up. I’m just saying, for the rare person with addiction, disability made it possible for me to eventually change my life. Even though for most in my situation, all it is is a money faucet that pays for drug use. It’s sad. But just don’t put literally everyone in the same category. I’m clean now and soon I’ll be working full time and off the disability. I am not like the many. And I’m pretty grateful for that. And i hope to give back in any way I can. Thanks for reading this.
Sandra: "He's taken me places like Blackpool" !!! At 61, wants a baby!!! Has a "lost coil" !!! Phil and his obsession with foreigners...Loser. Richard: "The nasty judge" , the judge doesn't like fraud, I guess. I tried very hard to be empathetic but these people are revolting.
I'd be obsessed with foreigners in my country changing the way it looks, sounds and even smells. It has gotten so bad in the UK that I had to leave to move to Romania to raise my son. Far too much violence and it's only getting worse with the boat people. It's 100% acceptable and actually honorable to want to keep your country yours.
The fella with "arthritis" can put one leg in front of the other and lift his hand to his mouth to smoke...he can work...he luggs things around at the foodbank, is that not work?

...how can a child born into this, ever have a chance of escaping it! The Poverty trap... This is what happens when you do not teach social responsibility and basic budgeting to your children in schools, instead you push gender identity...
We did it. Dad grafted 14 hour days, away for work across the country working at a civil construction company doing excavations for months at a time. In his spare time we renovated/flipped houses. Also grew and sold a little devil's lettuce on top of that. After ~20+ years of damn HARD work we managed to up and out to Australia. Thank god. England is absolutely a poverty trap. It's dog eat dog. If you don't have money, good look getting it - and if you do get it, you'd better protect it well because everyone and their mother will try to take it from you in one way or another.
@@1953beetle Having lived in Europe and now living in Aus, people really don't understand just how expensive they are here. The tax is absolutely ludicrous. We have to have some of the most expensive cigarette's in the world.. The black market for them isn't even inconspicuous anymore it's that big, lol. The local smoke shop has been raided 4 times and still operates as usual... changes hands to another family member and they carry on as usual.

All I can do is shake my head at the one man who keeps saying there's too many immigrants coming into the country just looking "to get something for nothing". Does he actually hear what his own mouth is saying?
Why shake your head at the truth, Sue? Fact is, this man served our country, he's paid taxes and is entitled to handouts if it's needed. Immigrants aren't or ought not be entitled to free stuff
@@HaggisMuncher-69-420 where did he serve his country? Honestly "Great Britain " became great from fucking over other countries. All countries that were fucked over by Britain have a right to go there.
I agree, disgusting that they can’t even maintain basic cleanliness. It does show that these poor folk are inadequate. Not just a case of being on benefits, simply put, they are incapable of anything else or living any other way.
The Broome family seems chronically disorganized. They didn't even prepare for that meeting. How did they expect the agent would be able to help without bare minimum financial information. Richard is completely delusional about his acting career. Phil's casual racism is pretty gross.
He's delusional about ANY career for that matter. Being proud of your birth nation, and wanting to preserve its integrity, and have its government provide for the citizens who have paid into the system, is not necessarily racist. There is also nothing racist about wanting foreigners who are accepted into your birth country to assimilate, or at least try..
@@22ergieassimilation is one thing but being upset that someone is speaking another language (not to you at that) and saying that they deserve to be sent back for that is not only ridiculous but if we’re calling it what it is definitely casual racism
@@cj58752 I see your point. I am a polyglot by education; (my birth language being English) and I have felt the death stares when I am in public speaking 'foreign; languages'. So I get it.
A big difference between needing stop-gap gov't assistance, vs gov't assistance being the the plan. Those gaming the system take much needed resources from those who genuinely need help in the short term.
I can't approve of people getting free handouts but I am convinced I am entitled to my free handouts that must be increased! A lovely productive part of society he is...
I don't understand how the UK government sustains any of this. All these people would starve in the US -we have far more scarce benefits for people that won't work. These people in the UK complain about their lives SO much when all of them would starve anywhere else in the world. I agree with a robust safety net, but it appears that all these people need to be removed from government assistance
Not one of them takes responsibility for their actions. All they do is complain, it will never be enough for some of them. This is socialism and one day England will collapse under the weight of this.
The problem is the rest of the world. How they do let people starve. And how governments want people to be their slave. If someone dosen't want to work, as long as they don't have children, they shouldn't be forced to. They never asked to be here, they shouldn't be forced to be slaves.
@@brianm7287my mother in law in Oregon never worked, yet she has benefits galore, and says "God takes care of her". No, the state of Oregon takes care of her lazy butt!
I'm confused about how they get $1800 in benefits but don't automatically take out $500, leaving them with $1300. Then they can buy groceries, pay electricity, and buy some damn cleaning supplies!!!!
What a calamity that mother son and his girlfriend are. Absolutely clueless. Court appearances for rent arrears, then letters saying the arrears are 17k, then a letter stating benefit fraud, half arse attempt to get a packing job, trying for a baby at 61, then evicted, then no money to move belongings. All taken in such a matter of fact manner, absolutely not bothered one bit. Oh and the wedding is planned and I bet any money they try their hardest to have that baby while living in a hostel.
Lucky Richard. A cellphone, smoking weed, a laptop, satellite TV and a beautiful 61 year young girlfriend with 7 kids and on benefits. What else do you need in life? He got his life together. Britain has never been, or will be, anything.
Britain has never been anything?? At one point she ruled 1/3 of this planet... Stop with the nonsense!! You can "nearly" say anything you like on social media but you don't have to lie...
Being realistic - these people are not hirable. Company would rather take an immigrant than any if them. Thus, yes,immigrants are problem, because nobody would invest into benefit people.
Average cost of a packet of 20 cigarettes in the uk is 15 pounds. 3 smokers = 45 pounds a day. 1,350 GBP s month. 500 rent. And they wonder why they are in debt?
Having a child in England is free money until you get cut off the benefit system. Unfortunately none of the people who take the free money are intelligent enough to consider what happens when they're finally cut off and simply have another dependant to feed... they're then strapped for cash, so what do they do? Have another child. Stupid is as stupid does.
I always pay my mortgage as soon as I get my monthly income payment, I get paid well before my due date. I've been dirt poor and just did without so I can proudly say I have never has a 30-day delinquency on the payment for a roof over my head. I certainly wouldn't take a trip to the big city for headshots for a 1 in a hundred million chance at being an actor if my rent/mortgage wasn't current
Richard, about two months ago I almost died from severe pneumonia, respiratory failure, and sepsis. I have many dangerous pre-existing conditions that are truly preventing me from working. I would do anything to go back to work but I can’t. When I was sick, they had to put me on life-support and I was unconscious for three days. I have had 17 bouts of pneumonia, Covid, I very nearly had my left foot amputated due to a blood clot, and I have also had four brain surgeries to remove a large and aggressive tumor on my pituitary gland. That is something that I’m not supposed to be able to survive. In addition, I’ve been in the hospital with psychiatric issues which includes severe depression, and anxiety. Even though I’m going through all this, I still got my economy straight. My doctor said that I’m a miracle and that I’m not supposed to be alive today. Richard, you need to get your head on straight! I don’t get much money every month from Social Security. However, I’m still able to save up some money so that I have something in my bank account. It just takes a bit of discipline!
One thing that puzzles me is, how Richard’s Mother doesn’t seems to know how much she receives on benefits, or what|| the cost of the rent is. She doesn’t seems to have any clues of her income on benifits and her expenses. I’m almost 59 and yes I do budget my money and I receive from my bank my monthly statement of both my bank accounts. (EDIT : I even have a second savings account that I put money in for things like reading glasses I need.)
They’re stupid. I know it’s cruel to say that but in the case of the Brooms and the 60 year old fiancé, they are just a half step behind or two or three
@@workhorse7134 I'm also simple minded. I have a learning disorder (ADD) and still i've always worked and never went into debt. I have two children the oldest is in University and youngest almost. Being simple minded is too much of an excuse. I you do the effort you can work but in my country now you have to be really disabled to get disability allowance. Sorry for my English.
It's hard to retrain yourself if you grow up in conditions where being on benefits is accepted as a way of life as opposed to the end of the road after all else has failed and only then to get you through to the other side.
Yep! Bills get paid first to keep a roof over your head & keep warm. Then food & no cigarettes or alcohol! I have multiple health issues that I could be put on disability for but I WANT to work! I enjoy working. It stimulates your brain & you meet new people. Plus you can pay your bills.
How can 3 adults not afford $120 a month for rent? And if they aren't working why is their home so disgusting? Lazy , entitled people are the worst, but I tend to agree a little with the guy complaining about the immigrants, they should have to work for at least a couple years before they can claim British handouts
There are so many ways to make money. You can collect scrap metal and sell. You can forage and sell. You can do various services at peoples homes and gardens. You can get free stuff and flip it.
My mother in law never worked a day in her life. When her youngest child went to school, all of a sudden, she can't work. She gets money and medical. The cow!
Ive been out of work almost a year with genuine illness and its KILLING me, not working has been the worst thing ever for me. I cant fathom going on indefinitely like this and I'm working hard to get back to work. I just dont understand these people, though mental health issues seems to be a common thread here.
Well that was depressing. I have family who are like this and was brought up within a similar dynamic and it's bleak. When you've grown up within this sort of aimless structure and you have to rely on only yourself to get out of it, it's hard. Really hard. But it can be done.
You get over $1,000 a month and your rent is $500 and the state pays $385 so that leaves you to pay $115 a month. How on earth is it that hard to pay $115 a month for rent and now your getting evicted because you have not paid? Im just completely baffled!

Starmer must work with all other non right wing opposition parties at the next general election to stop the dictatorial tories clinging to power again.
@@dvidclapperton you’re a moron. What is the source of your made up statistic that states “among the 0.2% who benefit scrounge.” Also, what methodology was used to arrive at this “fact?”
@@tattie278
There's no proof that benefit scrounging is widespread and rife up and down the country. But that's what the diktats of the authoritarian far right tory government want people to falsely believe that it's rife in Birmingham, Newcaatle, Liverpool, Manchester, Norwich, Southsmptom, Exeter etc and make people falsely think that the last labour government caused it and that it will get even worse under a labour government for votes at the general election to keep them clinging to power. Starmer must work with all the other non right opposition parties in the UK at the general election that between all of them exceed 50% to stop another unwanted tory majority government on 34% to 36% on a low turnout.
These programmes don't prove that it is, but are good for the tories to stoke up resentment among the general public, and maintain the tory thirst to keep controlling us. What the tories want us to believe is that benefit scrounging is widespread and rife rven though it's nowhere near what is being claimed. The real truth is the vast majority of benefit claimants who can work full time and pay their way are desperately constantly looking for full time work and stay in full time employment, only a very small minority of benefit claimants that can work are scrounging. Under a labour government, the last one (Blair then Brown), it was very strict at job centre in terms of benefit claimants being extremely busy constatly looking for full time employtment attending job interviews, it certainly never slackened off at all from the previous tory government. Signing on, leave the job centre and not have to do anything at all to look for work to try to gain employment for 2 weeks, get your giro cheque, then repeat the cycle under a labour government is the biggest very false myth there is in relation to unemployment. Changing government is no huge risk in terms of unemployment policy, things would not have slackened off under a Corbyn government had he been elected as PM.
A myth perpetuated by the far right, creating false perceptions among enough people to vote Tory to keep them clinging to power with the assumption that labour must fight the generwl election burrowing a lone furrow, even though the tories set a precedent at the last election with the despicable Johnson colluding with the even more despicable Farage to significantly help the Tories to gain their 80 seat majority.
I can't decide which excuse I like the best 😂 there's so many to choose from
Watching the dog chasing his tail had me in stitches!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I work as a lawyer getting people Social Security. Those who are marginally qualified or disqualified always have opinions about why other people shouldn't get the benefits.
Thanks to people like you, I got my much-needed, Social Security disability income! Thank you so much! I truly cannot live without it. It is my lifeline because I cannot work due to several possibly life-threatening pre-existing conditions so, again, thank you so much! About a month ago, I almost died from pneumonia, respiratory failure, and sepsis. I had to be put on life-support. God is good! It took me two years to get SSDI and I had to get a lawyer involved. She worked hard for two years to make sure that I got it. What else is that? We had a very tough judge who hardly ever signs off on these benefits. However, he looked at my great work ethics and saw that I have been working very hard for about 30 years. He said that this one I will sign off on. I love you ladies and gentlemen!! ❤❤🎉🎉
I have an ingrown toenail as well as Trump Derangement Syndrome. Doctor says it's incurable. Can I get benefits?
It's so easy to apply for disability in the US I can't believe people hire lawyers. The lawyers hardly do anything and then they collect their % of the back pay
Nothing quite like a show like this to make every tax-payer FURIOUS on a Sunday morning 😩
61 and trying for a baby? 😂😢 bloody hell 😂
Ah for god sake stop I am dying laughing holy moly
More benefits.
Without the help of IVF or a surrogate,and I very much doubt they’d have enough money for either one . I don’t really fancy their chances 🤣🤣
Not a drop of blood in sight, that factory shit down years ago!

Why on earth would you want bring a child into this world when you can't even pay your rent???
To get more benefits
More benefits
I don't have any children and I still can't pay my rent
Well I got a former friend who had kids just for benefits and tax return money and she lives almost entirely for free . Free rent, ridiculous amount of food stamps …. Medical insurance . I’m all for helping people but when u spend an entire 10 grand on urself every tax season just goes to show it really is just for money . Shameful
Can’t afford 4 kids. Let’s have 7 more. Logic of some of these people.
How does Richard's fiancee think she could have a baby? Completely delusional
I sure hope that they do not reproduce, there are enough defective genes in the family at present, without adding some more!
But they could have some fun trying!
@@Eddie-ev9bv she cannot have a child at that age
No way, she has had 7 children already, that would be completely irresponsible, if she was young and attractive it would be tempting for him, but the opposite is the case
@@grant7345 it's got nothing to do with her having 7 children before. The fact is that a 60 year old woman cannot have children, she's too old, no eggs left. The fiancee even suggesting it shows he's completely ignorant
@@dianestevens2659 it is very good she cannot have children, not to mention their lack of money, I personally think he should be certified as mentally insane
Phil sure likes to throw stones when he’s a major contributor to the problem.
How about giving up the cigarettes and cleaning your houses!
Yeah it’s not like they don’t have plenty of time on their hands.
Let's see your house
If these people would quit smoking, you'd see a lot more money in your pockets. I used to be a smoker, my mom always said if you can't afford it, don't do it. Quit two years ago, best decision I made
I wish I could, but not just for health. The cost is ridiculous.
Congratulations
And they all smoke! All these programs…..they all smoke!
The pit bull chasing its tail is the most entertaining part of this documentary.

Listen…I’m in 🇨🇦. And I’ve been on disability for like 8 yrs, trying to overcome my addiction. Now I’ve only recently managed to leave it behind, and have started working PT. It took me a long list of treatment and rehab, hospital stays, detoxes, and other recovery measures. I’ve tried to work - I have 50 jobs on my resume to prove it. None lasted more than 6 months before I get fired for my problems. I did have to eventually decide to not work and focus in recovering. It was so very hard a journey. Yet I am one of a thousand that actually does it. I can’t think of any addict that I knew who was on disability who actually had a desire to clean up.
I’m just saying, for the rare person with addiction, disability made it possible for me to eventually change my life. Even though for most in my situation, all it is is a money faucet that pays for drug use. It’s sad. But just don’t put literally everyone in the same category. I’m clean now and soon I’ll be working full time and off the disability. I am not like the many. And I’m pretty grateful for that. And i hope to give back in any way I can.
Thanks for reading this.

I tried very hard to be empathetic but these people are revolting.
I'd be obsessed with foreigners in my country changing the way it looks, sounds and even smells.

The fella with "arthritis" can put one leg in front of the other and lift his hand to his mouth to smoke...he can work...he luggs things around at the foodbank, is that not work?
Right he’s saying it’s not fair that the he benefits is not enough. But yet makes excuses to not work. Or at least be smart about how he spends his benefits
Imagine if they made sanctions for buying cigarettes for people like this!
Benefits pay £385.00 out of the £500.00 of their monthly rent but they are still falling behind?

...how can a child born into this, ever have a chance of escaping it!
The Poverty trap...
This is what happens when you do not teach social responsibility and basic budgeting to your children in schools, instead you push gender identity...
...and OPEN BORDERS...
We did it. Dad grafted 14 hour days, away for work across the country working at a civil construction company doing excavations for months at a time. In his spare time we renovated/flipped houses. Also grew and sold a little devil's lettuce on top of that. After ~20+ years of damn HARD work we managed to up and out to Australia. Thank god.
England is absolutely a poverty trap. It's dog eat dog. If you don't have money, good look getting it - and if you do get it, you'd better protect it well because everyone and their mother will try to take it from you in one way or another.
This comment is ignorance that is on parr with the people featured in this documentary.
I guarantee that this show was made before the 'push for gender identity' was mainstream.
@@billwilliams328 you are probably right, but I think his point was more about how schools are focusing on the wrong things.
Cigarettes aren’t cheap in Europe. If they quit smoking they could afford their rent.
Same thing in Canada, cigarettes are expensive

The local smoke shop has been raided 4 times and still operates as usual... changes hands to another family member and they carry on as usual.

I agree, disgusting that they can’t even maintain basic cleanliness. It does show that these poor folk are inadequate. Not just a case of being on benefits, simply put, they are incapable of anything else or living any other way.
OMG, I noticed that too! Just MINGIN'... 🤣😂
The Broome family seems chronically disorganized. They didn't even prepare for that meeting. How did they expect the agent would be able to help without bare minimum financial information. Richard is completely delusional about his acting career.
Phil's casual racism is pretty gross.
But the way the mother is constantly grinning, not taking her situation seriously, so apathetic
He's delusional about ANY career for that matter. Being proud of your birth nation, and wanting to preserve its integrity, and have its government provide for the citizens who have paid into the system, is not necessarily racist. There is also nothing racist about wanting foreigners who are accepted into your birth country to assimilate, or at least try..
@@22ergieassimilation is one thing but being upset that someone is speaking another language (not to you at that) and saying that they deserve to be sent back for that is not only ridiculous but if we’re calling it what it is definitely casual racism

Poor landlord won't manage to get them out without ALOT of difficulties
I don't understand how the UK government sustains any of this. All these people would starve in the US -we have far more scarce benefits for people that won't work. These people in the UK complain about their lives SO much when all of them would starve anywhere else in the world. I agree with a robust safety net, but it appears that all these people need to be removed from government assistance
They keep count of every red cent here
In the US, it varies by state. It's why the West Coast is saturated with them.
Not one of them takes responsibility for their actions. All they do is complain, it will never be enough for some of them. This is socialism and one day England will collapse under the weight of this.
The problem is the rest of the world. How they do let people starve. And how governments want people to be their slave. If someone dosen't want to work, as long as they don't have children, they shouldn't be forced to. They never asked to be here, they shouldn't be forced to be slaves.
@@brianm7287my mother in law in Oregon never worked, yet she has benefits galore, and says "God takes care of her". No, the state of Oregon takes care of her lazy butt!
I wished these people realized that not working and scamming their way though life was harder work than an actual job!
I'm confused about how they get $1800 in benefits but don't automatically take out $500, leaving them with $1300. Then they can buy groceries, pay electricity, and buy some damn cleaning supplies!!!!
What a calamity that mother son and his girlfriend are. Absolutely clueless. Court appearances for rent arrears, then letters saying the arrears are 17k, then a letter stating benefit fraud, half arse attempt to get a packing job, trying for a baby at 61, then evicted, then no money to move belongings. All taken in such a matter of fact manner, absolutely not bothered one bit. Oh and the wedding is planned and I bet any money they try their hardest to have that baby while living in a hostel.
It's disgusting they all want something for nothing omg
In addition there’s the missing coil and the audition for a porn movie. And who could resist that toothless smile.
Lucky Richard. A cellphone, smoking weed, a laptop, satellite TV and a beautiful 61 year young girlfriend with 7 kids and on benefits. What else do you need in life? He got his life together. Britain has never been, or will be, anything.
Britain has never been anything?? At one point she ruled 1/3 of this planet... Stop with the nonsense!! You can "nearly" say anything you like on social media but you don't have to lie...
Interviewer: "I believe you can work, but you are just lazy or looking for excuses?" The guy: "IMMMMMMIGRANTSSSS are the problem"
Being realistic - these people are not hirable. Company would rather take an immigrant than any if them. Thus, yes,immigrants are problem, because nobody would invest into benefit people.
Average cost of a packet of 20 cigarettes in the uk is 15 pounds. 3 smokers = 45 pounds a day. 1,350 GBP s month. 500 rent. And they wonder why they are in debt?
Great job. It really puts it in to perspective when you work it out😊
"trying for a baby"😳Omg nooooo😔🙏
O holy friggin god holy Mary and I am not religious i had to laugh 😂
Having a child in England is free money until you get cut off the benefit system. Unfortunately none of the people who take the free money are intelligent enough to consider what happens when they're finally cut off and simply have another dependant to feed... they're then strapped for cash, so what do they do? Have another child. Stupid is as stupid does.
And then they’d complain about the kids being taken away lol.
I know girl, same reaction here. So unfair on a child.
hope that won't happen frigging hell
The first thing you pay is your rent!
Ah but the problem is, they don’t know how much it is … so …. 😅
I always pay my mortgage as soon as I get my monthly income payment, I get paid well before my due date. I've been dirt poor and just did without so I can proudly say I have never has a 30-day delinquency on the payment for a roof over my head. I certainly wouldn't take a trip to the big city for headshots for a 1 in a hundred million chance at being an actor if my rent/mortgage wasn't current

Not this lot, cigarettes come first.
@@lorrainebennett7528at least the dog don’t smoke
Richard, about two months ago I almost died from severe pneumonia, respiratory failure, and sepsis. I have many dangerous pre-existing conditions that are truly preventing me from working. I would do anything to go back to work but I can’t. When I was sick, they had to put me on life-support and I was unconscious for three days. I have had 17 bouts of pneumonia, Covid, I very nearly had my left foot amputated due to a blood clot, and I have also had four brain surgeries to remove a large and aggressive tumor on my pituitary gland. That is something that I’m not supposed to be able to survive. In addition, I’ve been in the hospital with psychiatric issues which includes severe depression, and anxiety. Even though I’m going through all this, I still got my economy straight. My doctor said that I’m a miracle and that I’m not supposed to be alive today. Richard, you need to get your head on straight! I don’t get much money every month from Social Security. However, I’m still able to save up some money so that I have something in my bank account. It just takes a bit of discipline!
You all fail to see the real picture. The smartest one in the room is the dog.
Oh we see it ....
The dog certainly seems to have more energy than anyone else.
Looks like the rent arrears could have been paid off in about a fortnight's fag money. That house must positively reek.
If Richard was serious about acting I reckon he would be trying to get all those minor little roles like apply to be an extra on various tv shows
One thing that puzzles me is, how Richard’s Mother doesn’t seems to know how much she receives on benefits, or what|| the cost of the rent is. She doesn’t seems to have any clues of her income on benifits and her expenses. I’m almost 59 and yes I do budget my money and I receive from my bank my monthly statement of both my bank accounts. (EDIT : I even have a second savings account that I put money in for things like reading glasses I need.)
There are 4 adults in that home. How on earth did they fall behind on rent.
They’re stupid. I know it’s cruel to say that but in the case of the Brooms and the 60 year old fiancé, they are just a half step behind or two or three
I think everyone seems to not be noticing most of these people are simple minded which is why they are where they are.
@@workhorse7134 I'm also simple minded. I have a learning disorder (ADD) and still i've always worked and never went into debt. I have two children the oldest is in University and youngest almost. Being simple minded is too much of an excuse. I you do the effort you can work but in my country now you have to be really disabled to get disability allowance. Sorry for my English.

Yes most on benefits people they fallen behind paying rent but can afford to buy cigs and beer or marijuana
I don't smoke now but I used to I really loved smoking such a Shame it kills us I miss it
It's hard to retrain yourself if you grow up in conditions where being on benefits is accepted as a way of life as opposed to the end of the road after all else has failed and only then to get you through to the other side.

Richard thinking he is gonna be an actor is just the funniest part....
Or the fact hes 34 and his wife to be is 65!!
How can 3 adults not afford $120 a month for rent? And if they aren't working why is their home so disgusting? Lazy , entitled people are the worst, but I tend to agree a little with the guy complaining about the immigrants, they should have to work for at least a couple years before they can claim British handouts

Well that was depressing. I have family who are like this and was brought up within a similar dynamic and it's bleak. When you've grown up within this sort of aimless structure and you have to rely on only yourself to get out of it, it's hard. Really hard. But it can be done.

You get over $1,000 a month and your rent is $500 and the state pays $385 so that leaves you to pay $115 a month. How on earth is it that hard to pay $115 a month for rent and now your getting evicted because you have not paid? Im just completely baffled!
