I'm glad I woke up this morning and read that.
This society makes me sick: "hope they all die in a fire"?
I have no words left.

If they were talking about a religious or ethnic minority then they'd be getting their doors knocked in this morning.
The thing is do these post modern film makers have any empathy, any compassion? on a series like this they must have spent many many hours with the participants, only to shaft them with this sensationalist rubbish.
update, just spoke to sympathetic national media, the police are investigating, this could be a turning point, distribute, inform, ring the media, we won't tolerate this.

This is about prosecuting the people in the film, not the tweeters who poured out the vile abuse.

I fucking hate this country. What a fucking shit hole - full of egotistical righteous fuckers who dont give a shit about others. Someone on Twitter just said to me:
http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/benefits-street-channel-4-documentary-2994242
Report about how many of participants of the 'documentary' feel they have been manipulated, they thought it would be about celebrating 'community and togetherness'

IME for every person who goes around with their elbows out, there are ten more who don't. All we need to do is take this place back from the bad minority, and you can't do that by leaving.
How about getting some of these 'die in a fire' morons banned from twitter.
That sort of shit cannot be allowed under T's & C's surely? Even on Twatty Twitter.

When I first saw the quote I was in broad agreement, though I thought she was talking about the Cabinet.

So many particulars. So many questions.
typing to twitter about how people on benefits should die from your hundred pound plus smartphone ranks up there with kissinger getting the nobel peace prize.

Own Jones chimes in:
Broadcast on the same day Osborne declares a further £25bn cut from Welfare (all but) as well. Coincedence?
I hope all the above no-redeeming-features arseholes never know another day of happiness for the rest of their lives. Which is a bit of a wankerish thing to say. But fuck them - They're not people.

Hardly getting over it.

heckling from the back!
Someone remind me how much the tax-dodging companies and individuals are avoiding paying into the tax coffers ?
Does it compare towards anything like the £12bn Gideonthecunt wants to cut off the welfare budget????
Perhaps if HMRC got out their cosy bed with Vodafone, Arcadia and made 'em pay their due taxes there would not be quite so large a hole in the government's funds............

BBC Three asks single mums to move into the Pramface Mansion

BBC Three is tackling the issue of single motherhood head-on with its ambitious new series, Pramface Mansion.
From the makers of the very successful Baby Borrowersseries, Pramface Mansion is a radical experiment that will see ten single mothers and their children living together for over a month.
Danny Cohen, Controller of BBC Three, says: "Pramface Mansion is a bold way of looking at a growing question for young people – are there different ways in which people could live together as alternatives to the nuclear family? It's an intriguing experiment and I'm looking forward to having it on the channel."
Britain has one of the highest proportions of single parent families in the EU¹ and their rate of employment is one of the lowest². Half of all co-habiting couples who have children split up by the time the child is five³ and half of all children living with a lone parent are poor.
With many single mums saying they feel isolated and lacking in the confidence to turn their lives around this is a problem that the Government continues to grapple with.
Anna Beattie, Executive Producer at Love Productions, says: "Many single mothers say they struggle to cope on their own and need help. Pramface Mansion is a totally new approach to this massive issue that will give ten mothers the opportunity to support and help each other. Perhaps it might even provide a model for the future."
This bold new series from Love Productions offers single mothers an alternative way of life. Living together in a mansion the women will be totally reliant on each other to improve their lives.
Can they build up a community that will provide the support and encouragement they need to make positive changes in their lives, be this entering or re-entering the job market, sorting out their relationship with their ex or starting to date again?
In the United States, something similar has been happening. Single mothers have chosen to live together with their children in order to support each other. The idea is that they lighten their load by helping each other out and pooling resources as well as providing an understanding ear.
Pramface Mansion will be on a far bigger scale as it invites a group of ten single mums to live together. The ambition is that the women forge friendships that may have a long term impact on their lives and even create the potential for future co-habitation.
"Pramface" is a stereotype which the series aims to subvert. Pramface Mansion seeks to challenge pre-conceptions about single parent families as well as explode some of the myths about the supposed ideal of the nuclear family.
The series was commissioned by Ben Gale, Commissioning Editor for Factual Features and Formats, and will be Executive Produced for the BBC by Harry Lansdown.
The Series Producer will be Elliot Reed who series produced the recent hit Filthy Rich and Homeless and the Executive Producers will be Richard McKerrow, Anna Beattie andStephen Franklin.
As well as the eight hour-long shows, there will be seven 30-minute spin-off shows featuring highlights from the series as well as more detailed back stories of some of the women taking part.

Edited to add I also looked at the times James Purnell, Labour ex minister for welfare, was working at the BBC during these years.

Too skool for cool
Hmm, I was wondering if perhaps there was a link from his wife's investments. I understand she has quite a lot.
'Pramface Mansion'?
FFS. What's next, 'House of Slags'? 'Lagerface Betting Shop'?

That wouldn't surprise me. The fuckers have fingers in so many pies through their families/relations that they never need to disclose.
