    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

    Almost every street in Britain is tax avoidance street. Unless they're really stupid/ wealthy and generous, everyone avoids tax.

    Did you mean tax evasion street or have you been duped by the subtle combining of tax avoidance (legal and even sensible) and tax evasion (illegal).

    The government and media have colluded to try and combine 2 entirely different things.
