The Real Benefits Street

How did the government’s ‘benefit sanctions’ policy end up leading to hunger, destitution and desperation? Why are people on benefits being stigmatised? Joining Angela Neville, author of Can This Be England?, will be Niall Cooper of Church Action on Poverty and Paul Morrison, author of the report Time to Rethink Benefit Sanctions – along with some who have been sanctioned themselves and taken part in the Real Benefits Street programme.

This guy has had multiple jobs that hes left bc "they werent for him" but he blames the government for his situation. The problem is no self responsibility. I've watched many videos with benefits people talking. I see the same time and time again. Excuses and blaming everything and everyone but themselves. They hold others more responsible for the state of their lives than they do themselves. If u quit a job or refuse a job simply bc you dont like it then dont complain bc you dont have a job. They seem like they think the government is responsible for making sure they get the job they want at the pay they want. They just sit waiting for someone to come along and fix everything for them and then get mad bc it doesnt happen.
