Tragic

I watched both episodes. The only people who really got my back up was the skinny ginger lady and her partner, who had been fiddling benefits to the tune of £1,500 a month until they got caught. The british are just the people at the bottom of the pile; they are stuck there and are there forever as far as I can see, and unless their kids get lucky, so are they. Get a job? Who is going to employ them? What skills have they got? Plus I have the suspicion that some of them wouldn't go to the end of the street for a job. A big contrast to the Romanians, who have to cross the continent to try and get one!

How true Cromwell. What a peculiar nation we have become.

Peculiar ? That's putting it mildly, Kate - for you and for me.

In many countries where I have lived one saw women and men picking up the filth and trash on the streets, brooms at the ready!
We have plenty of trash on our streets, coming back from Birmingham airport some areas i drove through were unbelievable, I felt ashamed, one could have been in the third world slums and ghettos .
