Making sense from a Randian perspective does not make these attitudes sane though does it?

and you can bet from this that a legion of tory tossers (like Michael Portillo who is happy to take their - our - coin) will think the BBC is lefty liberal nonsense.
"Black Dee" from the TV documentary Benefits Street is among a number of people living on the road who have been charged with drug and firearm offences.
Samora Roberts, known as Dee, 32, and a prominent character in the Channel 4 series, was charged with conspiracy to supply a class B controlled drug, conspiracy to supply crack cocaine, possession of diamorphine, or heroin, and possession of ammunition for a firearm without a certificate.
West Midlands police said the charges followed raids that took place last June at a number of addresses in the street, after concerns were raised by the community.
Police charged seven people with drug offences following the raids, in James Turner Street, Winson Green, Birmingham, and at an address in nearby Handsworth, before the series reached the screen.

I remember doing my oral history training a couple of years ago and learning about the ethics of recording people, issues of power between interviewer and interviewee, making sure people were adequately informed about potential consequences of this work. Producing a documentary which results in the arrests of voluntary participants has got to be about as low as you can get ethics wise.
Yeah you can say that...no idea who you are talking to though
Also, given the rather rude, presumptious and childish opening to your 1st post on urban. I'll not bother reading further. I'll assume it will be Tory validating nonsense and a waste of my time. HTH! 
Do you usually swagger into a pub and start shouting the odds at complete strangers, sweetie? A bit of lurking and reading to get the tone of the place before posting might have been a good idea. Do your lips move when you read? I'm sorry to say that you sound as if they do. You might at least use a few more punctuation marks - speech marks and apostrophes are free.
It's really not. That sort of thinking might scrape you through AS Level Economics, but it won't get you far in the real world.
it's like a penguin only with four legs.
no that's a man who changes into a penguin when there's a full moonIsn't that a were-penguin?
Perhaps he meant "elfcare".
Capita welfare reform conference, London
How welfare has changed in the last 4 years.
Thank you…..I am very pleased to be here.
I would like to use my time this morning to reflect on the past 4 years, and in particular how different the welfare landscape is now compared to 2010.
In short, it is very different. And the change has been long overdue.
We are introducing the most fundamental reforms to the welfare and pensions systems for more than 60 years.
These are structural changes designed to reward work, encourage responsibility and help those who need it most.
And we are already starting to see the impacts of these reforms.
Interesting (though not surprising) to hear that being on UC is at least twice as bad as being on the dole. Hopefully I'll be well off WTC by the time I'm confronted with it.
