Then Thatcher has won.[/quote]

Thing is some of the people who would buldoze the street are very much anti Thatcher.

Yep. Saw the last 20mins. From what I saw:
In the same street
Benefit cheats get caught and end up on crises loans wae weans to feed and clothe
Serial shoplifter steals from someone in the street and gets put away. "You don't rob from your own"
Nae c@nt works.
One guy was selling washing powder etc cheap to help out those struggling.

Cue outraged viewers wanting to bulldoze the street and its occupants and blaming socialism

Is it a bit like The Scheme that was on up here, blue?[/quote]

A bit but worse I think.
Might see if I can get it on catch up and watch the whole thing.[/quote]

"White Dee" seems to be the go to person on the street. Thought the 50p guy was a decent enough bloke. What surprised me was the amount of IPhones on display. No money for necessities but they have mobile phones and very expensive ones at that

I'd imagine it'd be pretty easy to get a hot iphone if you live on Benefit Street.

[AguyIknow]

True. But stolen phone or not you still have to have a mobilephone account and they're not free.

It was the same on that program The Scheme, they never had any cash but they all had wall mounted flat screens.
