As a reptile keeper that bearded dragon is malnourished, he needs a better designed vivarium, water (lots) fresh food every day.. and NO BLOODY MEALWORMS!!!!
Working with reptiles for years I would like to say that the poor bearded dragon is in an enclosure that is far too small, no warm and cold spots, nowhere to perch and nothing in the cage but a shitty little bed, they should give him/her away, they obviously bought one and they have no idea how to look after it, I am now so upset, I would take that animal out of that condition, poor gorgeous dragon!
I don't know very much about reptiles but I even I could see that he/she needed a much better enclosure than that. Love it they may giving adequate care they're not.
yes im not knowledgeable about repyiles etc but i could even see that the dragon getting rehomed would possibly be a better idea. To be honest most of those animals lived in dirty conditions.
My favorite is when the camera man does takes of angles in the house that are dirty while they explain how hard their lives are... Seems like they crews way of being salty 🤣
I guess it's a lifestyle choice for them. In reality, they have nothing to plan or hope for - just a life on benefits, and the odd holiday, not much of a life really.
My grandma who lived through the depression always said no matter how poor you are you can always afford soap. Basically there is no reason to have a dirty house or person.
My granny was the same, she always made sure we were clean and well groomed, ( girls had to have clean hair and it had to be set for church or school) our clothes were clean and in good repair, our house was clean, and she preached cleanliness is next to Godliness . She always said you might not be able to do much about being poor but that's no excuse for being dirty. Miss her everyday.
I cleaned a gross holiday chalet with some of a bottle of cheap washing up liquid. So yeah cleaning is cheap but I think with mental health problems cleaning motivation is affected. I have depression and work full time and I'd rather do gardening, decorating or cooking than cleaning. My mum was the same we both hate dusting. 😂
To her credit, she was aware of the cleanliness of her house being compromised by the pets and was cleaning very thoroughly. I also didn’t see her smoking which certainly helps. She definitely has a way with training the dogs - they did beautifully at meal time which is stressful with animals. I don’t agree with benefits paying for pets but she is at least making an effort towards independence. Now Paul, with a three bedroom home he doesn’t pay for living with just his animals doesn’t seem fair.
@@MrsEJV As much as I agree with you regarding Billie, minus James *not* having a 3 bedroom property (no idea how he wrangled that one), he *is* on long term sickness benefits. The entire point of anyone on long term disability with the money they receive, is to live a life they would had they been capable of work. It seems slightly baffling to me that people such as yourself expect those who suffer with various different types of disablement, to live a miserable existence; no holidays, no animals, no take aways, no restaurants, no small pleasures in life. What, out of interest, would you prefer they do with their lives?
@@walkingonsunshine8574 Amen. My mum was a part time cleaner after retirement, just for some extra money, & the things she’d see in ‘posh folks houses’ (her words..! Lol) or peoples homes who had ‘public jobs’ (Doctors, Surgeons, Nurses, Dentists, etc) made her eyes water ! I think billies garden left a lot to be desired but she mentioned that herself, & as an ex farmers daughter I can confirm trying to keep a tidy garden with lots of animals is almost impossible (our garden was split into 2, we had a beautiful main garden that my mum kept up, gardening was her hobby, vs the other with chickens, a large bonfire area, etc!) Billies heart was in the right place. I’d happily have a cuppa there. x
Love the way they say that "this pet cost me $xxx"... total bollocks - they cost the Tax payers that much not you. Get a clue people, your personal responsibility to make your own way in the world comes first and if the work doesn't exist where you are you have to go to where it is. You don't create a hobby that takes up all of your time such that you can no longer look for or take paid work.
That Paul has plenty of Chickens to keep him occupied, Dogs, Cats & still moans about the House being small!! He'd be in a Bedsit if lucky around here!! He's such a skank. Couldn't care less about our opinions either I bet. (Probs 😅'ing)
When Paul was telling the story about him receiving the bedroom tax reimbursement and the things he purchased with the money... I could’ve fell over when he said he bought a cat. OMG! Cats breed almost as quickly as bunnies so I’m sure he could’ve found himself a free cat, or kitten, almost anywhere... but instead he BUYS one. Makes sense to someone I suppose... Glad there’s no such thing as "pet benefits" because this group of folks would rake in a small fortune!
Am I the only disgusted that they had 3000 pound and spend over 500 on car but then still had 1000 pound left and went to the food bank in their car and took from people who really need it ? I am shocked they would do that
my husband works in a meat department and he is epileptic and makes very good pay!! I can't get over how many people get out of working. Unbelievable. If they can take care of all their pets they have proven they can take care of themselves.
I wouldn’t have thought controlled epilepsy was a reason for not working any way? Epilepsy comes in many different shapes & forms, it isn’t a one size fits all.
For real! I used to work with a guy who had regular seizures. We’d just put a pillow under his head and help him out when he came to. He still came to work every damn day. These people are full of excuses!
Ive not got that far but this got me. "The worst thing about being on benefits, we cant afford to save to go on holiday to Skegness" Trust me, save your money hahahhaah
Benefits going to Waitrose and those pigs going to the food back while just have being given all that money. Taken it from the mouths of people who really needed it.
Waitrose is not an expensive shop. In some areas (mine) it's by far the best option. It has expensive things in it, but also good quality, well priced options. I don't really know why it's deemed posh. If you have an Aldi or Liddel close by, then the will be cheaper probably, but in rural areas that's often not an option.
It is disgusting when there is that much of a age difference. I am 53 and I would never go out with a woman in there 20's or 30's. I am serious when I say this but I have nothing to offer someone that young.
I live in Australia and some times see bearded dragons out in nature. There are energetic and inquisitive. He was so sad in that prison of his. Also he can't escape the direct heat lamp. He's fully charged an no where to go
Yeah, I have water dragons breeding along the creek on my property in NSW Australia and even hanging out on top of my water tank on occasion. In my opinion, these creatures should never, ever be allowed to be kept as pets. It amounts to cruel and unusual punishment, nothing less. Cheers.
@@oldrustyrelic9121I also don't believe that any birds should be allowed to be kept as pets unless someone has an exceptionally large aviary that is shared by other birds of their own species. You are absolutely correct, if you want to release a bird into the wild that has been bred in captivity, it will never have the skills to survive. Cheers.
He gets £1000 a month, is completely fit and capable of doing some kind of work but apparently has "mental health issues". I have 7 illnesses, 2 neurological and 5 physical and I get £200 a month from UC and have been refused PIP on three occasions. This system is broken beyond repair. None of these people are entitled to these benefits. They're just lazy wasters
I know it’s so wrong. I had a brain injury a few years back that resulted in now permanent issues with my vision and other neurological issues as well as seizures but I can’t get pip. My daughter who’s 10 has rheumatoid arthritis and is on a chemotherapy drug each week also can’t receive disability living allowance. It’s messed up
@@zoecellis88 the benefit system isn't designed for genuinely sick people. It's designed for lazy wasters and people who just wanna pop out dozens of children. This country is messed up beyond repair and I'd love to be able to get out. I don't know why people want to come and live here
Really relate to this 3 neurological conditions, 1 genetic condition and 2 other physical conditions + mental health and autism + adhd. I worked until august when I lost my job due to my health. PIP being appealed, UC give me personal allowance + housing. I’m desperate to go back to working even if it’s just part time and topped up by UC. Feeling like I’m getting to being able to do remote work from bed for a few hours a week tho! Just not enough to sustain myself
"Mental health issues" affect folk differently, for example, i haven't been able to hold a job due to bipolar disorder railroading my life while i know others living with Bipolar that have fulfilled careers. Here where i live in Canada, mental illness is taken seriously and if it affects your ability to hold a job you can file for disability. Myself, I've been fired from every job i worked, it's not that i didn't want to work as i would love to get off disability, it's that employers don't want to deal with a manic/depressed employee, especially if it's a disruption to the business. Even with medication, i cannot predict when an episode will happen, which has caused me to be fired many times in the past or gave me false confidence to take a job that's beyond my skill level. Lastly, if your mental illness is severe enough to require constant hospitalization, good luck finding a job that will accommodate, in my experience, your more likely going to lose your job. Bottom line, mental health issues don't have a one size fits all solution, just because you can cope doesn't mean others can, our brains may be similar but they are genetically different. I often say to people I'd love to trade my bipolar disorder for your job, i bet your job is easier to navigate that's for sure.
I know you mean that as a bit of a sleight. But just maybe they do. If her dogs are as well behaved as it seems then they are no problem and as I keep chickens myself - including cockerels - I just find them a delight. I just wish she and they had more room. Why is it that you find living next to animals a problem?
I doubt food banks would be impressed if someone had 3k and was getting free food (food donated to food banks), benefits or not. They are designed for people that cannot buy food because they have no money. So it's not just about being on benefits, the food bank has to be the last resort. You also don't have to be on benefits to use a food bank, if you are working but are struggling, you can use them. I guess a lot of it is down to trust and the hope that people will be honest.
I've issued food bank vouchers as part of a previous job, you know a portion of referrals are a bit of a piss take. You also know some food gets wasted and some will get traded for drugs etc. You also know that you can issue two vouchers a month for the same household but the household knows they can access different food banks from different referral points
It’s disgusting. There’s family’s out their with children who end up in a sh!tty situation with just 20p to last them for a week or so who are the ones who need the food banks. Not two people who have just got 3 grand that day. Also he’s using his stomach issues as an excuse not to work. My father in law is the same age if not older with worse stomach issues than him and he’s just built an extension on his property as well as working etc.
If these were kids instead of animals, you'd all be slagging them off 😂 Same applies to these guys. Can't afford your pets? Stop getting so many and expecting tax payers to feel sorry for you not eating 🙄 Not fair on the animals either
You people love to throw around the term ‘tax payer’. Everyone in England pays tax unless they work cash in hand. ALSO, why don’t you put your energy into the disproportion of wealth. If you live in the UK YOU also use a benefit system of some sort so please, get off your high horse and read a book
There’s a lady in our local Asda in a wheelchair and she still works. All comes down to your ethics. If you want to work you can. This is full of excuses to me
@@Jadedjade2000what do you mean? These people are clearly fit to work, they have pets that the tax payer pays for while they sit at home all day long.
People like this take the mick, people who get into debt who can't afford to keep animals, don't have animals if you are struggling on benefits then you wouldn't have to rely on food banks.
Their houses are disgusting! Where are the RSPCA! Why has a single man got a 3 bedroom house??? Why have a couple got a 2 bedroom flat??? This is all wrong!
The house looks a decent size with 3 bedrooms and he is complaining about the Size? Paid for by taxpayers a lot who work hard and have smaller houses with no complaints. Ungrateful man.
@Cornish I'm a fellow Cornish person! I'm definitely not jealous! I've worked for everything I have! If you are Cornish, you know the struggles here in the SW. much the same as anywhere.
@Cornish nope! We are on the verge of a housing crisis in Cornwall. The council are buying static homes in holiday parks to alleviate the issue! It's not right?
Terrible life even for a lizard. Just lies there. Why do they even keep it. Baffles me really. The only thing I can think is that it makes themselves feel a bit exotic. And that is a shit reason to keep a creature.
I’m really concerned about the bearded dragon, I hope that they have rehomed him ☹️ most concerning is his diet, he is being starved. Meal worms are not a staple in a bearded dragons diet, locusts, crickets and Dubai roaches are a better option and they need a variety of fresh greens etc daily, they can even have occasionals like cucumber, bell peppers, apple etc things most of us have in the kitchen anyway. They can even eat dandelions which are free if you have them in your garden🙈! His setup isn’t correct either..
@@bernadettedevereux4489 I didn’t think of that 🙈 I hate to see animals being mistreated. I adopted a bearded dragon over a year ago and was sure to do my homework first. I had to upgrade her vivarium as it was too small and get her a thermostat etc
I was thinking the same thing and we don't own bearded dragons I don't really know much about them but I know that a diet on just mealworms would be miserable. I think people who are getting any sort of pet should do research before they get them even cats and dogs require research because different breeds need different things. They clearly haven't done that research they've just decided they want bearded dragons and got them. I despise impulsive buying when it comes to animals they're not objects they are living beings that cost money to keep and providing a good quality of life costs. on a less serious note have you seen the size that some locusts get to we had one once that almost filled up the entire container this thing was a monster.
@@katiee22ify I completely agree. I impulse bought a dog a few years ago without really looking more into it and while I still have the dog and he is a part of our family it's one of my biggest regrets. I was nowhere near ready to own a dog. I def have way more knowledge now than I did when I got him and I wish I could go back in time and stop myself.
@@glutenfreehomo That's the thing some times we do make mistakes how would we learn if we didn't but the best part about is you have gained more knowledge now. These people clearly haven't taken the steps to educate themselves . A few years ago we rescued a guinea pig I'll admit I knew nothing about them I've always had rats and at the time I didn't really like them I thought they were too nervous. But this guinea pig really needed rescued he was being kept in a nursery and the nursery was closing down they said if he wasn't taken they were going to release him which is horrible. So he came home to us and the moment I learned we were getting a Guinea pig I googled everything I listed food guinea pigs could have I joined groups on face book and asked there I learned everything in just that day. His name is Oscar when he came home to his forever home with us he was still a baby and he was quiet nervous because of being in a nursery. It didn't take him long to settle. The cage he was in was far too small so we got a big one. We did get a list of foods that were apparently his favourite on that list were orange peppers that is false his favourite is green peppers. The reason I thought guinea pigs were nervous animals was because the noise they make which is called wheeking I thought they made that noise when their nervous. Boy was I wrong that noise means either "I am excited pay attention to me" or "GIVE ME VEGGIES THIS INSTANT" haha lol, At least in Oscars case that is he is the king in this house if he had his way he'd have fresh vegetables every second of everyday and he's be so fat.
As a 33 year old male, who has just lost his job due to reimbursement, I would just like this opportunity to say, these people should be ashamed to stay on benefits for any longer than a month or two Max! It’s horrible being on benefits 😂 get me back into work!!!
No, they shouldn't. If they're comfortable on benifits they shouldn't be ashamed of themselves. Do you want them to be miserable in work? The only reason they should be ashamed is if they choose to breed.
They are all ok to work. They're just lazy! I work with osteoarthritis, a recent hip replacement, cataracts, stress and anxiety. I claim nothing! Paul is capable of working, he just doesn't want to 😠. He's a scrounger.
The bearded dragon is neglected and as this documentary is old probably won't have lived much longer unless given to a charity who can provide it with the right enclosure and food.
Billy just needs a mentor and some guidance and she will do anything she wants with her life. She is very motivated and always looking for a way to better herself. I hope someone helps her with some business guidance so she can flourish!
If she is so motivated why she lives on benefits for 18 years? Come on..... she is a lazy person with no sense of responsibility. It's a shame people like her receives money that was honestly earned by proper working people.
While I do not know the details of the lady with epilepsy, I was diagnosed 10 years ago after having multiple seizures. It is a life-limiting condition, but rarely one that stops a person from working. It annoys me to see this because people with epilepsy fight every day to live normal, productive lives so I'm sceptical about seeing an able-bodied woman claim that epilepsy has stopped her working altogether. In most cases, it doesn't because it can be controlled by medication.
Epilepsy is NOT an excuse, it's a genuine sickness and a serious one. People who have worked with, known of people and heard of who have epilepsy, and been able to SOILDER ON, are nieve to think ALL people with this condition are the same. I might suggest, that people giving these negative comments, should not, until they actually know what they're talking about.
Epilepsy looks different on different people. I didn't realise how serious of a condition it was until my sister was diagnosed. She can no longer drive after two accidents while having seizures behind the wheel, one with her daughter in the car. She can't work because of the severity of her epilepsy and I can absolutely see why others can't as well, even if I never witness them have a seizure in person to know 'how bad' their condition is.
There should be a certain time limit that people can be on "benefits". After that, he/she has to go working in a farm picking fruits, or feeding chickens, or something similar. If someone can take care of his/her pets at home, there must be something he/she can do in a farm.
I dont know if it is still in use but in the Channel Isles if you claim assistance you have to do local work such as helping in OAPs homes sweeping the streets etc.pity it didnt happen here we have so many professional scroungers i know from experience as a shop owner with the scroungers buying top of the range items & bragging how they beat the system
To be fair, being physically able and being mentally able to work are different things. If someone is autistic, they really may struggle to mentally cope with working.
@@lucyw.7597 Interesting isn’t it, how these folk are basing opinions on just a few individuals, but have no idea how the system actually works these days or the hardships disabled people really face.
@@LauraBidingCitizen its a horrible reflection of how much people enjoy looking down on others in the uk...its also a few years ago , things are pretty different now. Ive been on benefits for the first time ever after surgery on my spine. I literally have no idea what would have happened to me if i didnt have family able to help me out. It's taken over a year to get health assessment done, and now theyve decided i should be on a higher rate, im back on the flat , normal rate, until they sort it out..which will take 3-6 months..i can survive ok, but im very very lucky. im not suprised suicide rates have jumped in the last few years.
Absolutely love Paul..and Billy ...i wonder what they are doing now? Really hope Pauls confidence is improved,very sweet guy andhope Billy has her business xx
Oh man it is so so hard to rest after napping . These people are amazing . They should be economic advisers . Using the system is a gift and these people have it in spades .
‘The last time we let them out was at least a couple of weeks ago’ the f’in cruel knob heads… they don’t even work so they have time to look after their birds!
This just amazes me. I have anxiety, depression, PTSD, OCD, IBS, and Type 1 diabetes and I still don't qualify for any kind of benefit (I'm in USA). I hold a full time job and push through no matter how much of a struggle it is. I get having bad days and maybe calling out or finding a new job bc I've been there but you can't just give up and play victim your whole life expecting to be handed everything. You need to adapt and learn to live your life and be self sufficient otherwise you aren't living you are just existing.
I'm proud of the effort you make. I know it can't be easy. My daughter also has Type 1 Diabetes and could have a hypo/fit at any time but she too continues to attend Uni full time as well as hold down a permanent/part time job. She won't allow her disease to hold her back. Too many people play on health issues
Paul getting a rural 3 bedroom house with driveway and generous garden space is exactly why so many scroungers decide to stay on the dole their whole lives. The system is too easy. Forgot were in a “housing crisis” though 😅
It's because he's more vulnerable due to being both gay and having mental health issues. He obviously does suffer from his mental health issues...and it's also possible that the village he lives in doesn't have a shortage of housing as much as bigger places, which is why he was allocated a house rather than a flat. My friend is gay and he was beaten up in his old street and it's considered a hate crime so he was given a new flat in a different area. We must look after the vulnerable, it's what makes us a decent society.
@@slydoll7877 he’s just lazy, his sexuality is not a disability nor should impact his eligibility for welfare. He seems well enough to look after 20 chickens, 2 dogs and a cat. Pretty sure if he can multitask that many animals, he can hold a simple job. Also, a 3 bedroom is ridiculous for a single man, should only be for deserving families.
I just wonder how many of these benefit leaches get kicked off the free handouts after shows like this air, and the council sees what is really going on.
You someone has never had experience with kids when they say having pets is the same as having kids! I understand loving them like they're their kids, but looking after pets is a heck of a lot easier than raising kids.
No it isn't, human children are the neediest greediest offspring of any living being. Animals are independent from an early age, and most of them are beautiful to look at, unlike human babies. Also they won't be demanding and screeching for toys and computers all their lives
It really bothers me when they are on welfare and they say they have the right to treat themselves to bottles or glasses of beer. I truly am on disability for a work injury in 2013 where I tore my left shoulder to hell. I have had 3 surgeries and am in no better shape. I can not afford to buy beer or 15 pets. My daughter has a bunny rabbit as her pet and she buys everything this sweet bunny needs.
Mate, if you are on disability then you can afford a few beers. Don't lie. And your statement about the sweet bunny is nice - animals are nice and good for people. They should be encouraged mostly but I do draw the line at a bearded dragon. I suspect is sat doing nothing in that glass box for weeks on end.
@@Hereford1642 Sorry Jack but I only make $925.00 a month on disability. I truly can not afford any beer. Sorry but I am not lying like you think I am. When my share of the rent is $700.00 it does not leave much left over. Plus my medication is $150.00 every month. Not everyone is dishonest my friend.
@@MarkK01 benefits here are different, you can definitely afford a beer here if you're on top tier PIP, enhanced UC and housing benefits. Your 'pay' is considerably more than if you earned minimum wage and all you need is a good social worker or health professional to sign your forms and you're quids in
@@eeeb2140 Thank You Emma. This is the best answer I have had in a long time. Most of the people who have commented on my post are arrogant arsholes. So thank you for such a pleasant response.
My brother has dealt with seizures for years and yet still managed to study to become an Ambo AND he works as an orderly. My parents have lived with depression and anxiety for pretty much their whole lives, yet they've always worked. Especially my Dad, who went through a traumatic childhood and he was a military man for twenty years. He has worked for years and years, even taking on a holiday job after he retired. I have crippling social anxiety and depression, yet I still work 38 hours a week as an insurance agent. This episode made me pissed, and similar ones in general. When I got my full time job and got off of benefits, it's done nothing but make my mental health improve. Being busy helps and you can focus on other things other than your own head. Get off your ass, get busy and be amazed at the results...
Just remember more of your tax money goes on producing £150,000 bombs to drop on middle Eastern goat herders than goes to these people, and shows like this are designed to fill your heart with hatred
I’ve had epilepsy for decades and it’s never been fully controlled by medication. I regularly have fits and have ended up in intensive care on a ventilator in an induced coma multiple times. I’ve always worked because not working won’t change my condition and I like my work. I know people who don’t work because their job depended on using machinery or driving and others who can’t cope with the thought of having had fit in public. I sometimes have extreme post-ictal behaviour (attacking people, taking my clothes off, automaton actions etc) which when I’m told about it cause me distress and embarrassment but I’ve learned to cope. I just see my condition as something other people experience because I’ve never had any knowledge of anything happening. Yes, coming round with tongue bites and soaking clothes from pissing myself can be upsetting but I’m used to it. Other people can’t cope and I understand it.
Same! I have severe social anxiety - diagnosed. And complex PTSD. But I still went to school, educated myself, and now I'm a nurse.. You can choose to make the best of it & you can always challenge yourself. Bcs nothing feels better than when your hard work & efforts pay off! It will NOT help to isolate at home, refuse work. That's a sure way to make it all worse.. I hope you will continue to fight it & NOT let it take over your life & some day it all may be a thing in the past ❤😊
Please please please rehome that bearded dragon, he looks sick, he has no enrichments in his enclosure, hes gonna be dead already cos this series is old, but it breaks my heart.
I can't see how getting a tattoo over paying bills, is a wise choice. It is not a NEED. It's a WANT. What we want is not in the same criteria as what we need. So, it makes little sense, in my opinion.
I 💗 Love Billie! She IS a good dog trainer! A go-getter! Frugally smart with food shopping for her pets and herself. Brilliant about the dehydrator. If anyone knows how she is 2022, please chime in.
I liked her too, she did seem to be a good dog trainer. She was a bit irresponsible to get tattoos instead of paying her bills though. But I hope she was able to create a successful business out of her passion for animals.
@@amberwinter4351 Yes. I had a pang of disappointment when she got the tattoos as well - but after all the scrimping and saving, I guess she wanted to treat herself. That's understandable.
i'd be totally amazed if she's doing any different to be honest..if she's been spenidng years 'workig to get off beebfits' and she hasnt done it by now, it's not going to happen..
Seems that most of the problem is that a large number of people are just not clever enough to be useful employees. You could say "How clever do you need to be to fill shelves or sweep up?" But you need time management, organization, communication skills and a degree of self-motivation. I don't think this group here, except the dog trainer, are intelligent enough to be attractive to an employer. Maybe there should be government work, sewing mailbags, sorting widgets.
Some many not like this...... I absolutely adore Paul. He seems genuinely grateful for his benefits and those who support him in various ways. Mental health issues vary. The degree to which one or multiple mental health issues affects individuals is infinite. Some are able to cope with their issues without medical or psychological intervention. Others need medication and/or therapy. Then there are those like Paul, who in addition to suffering from what appears to be PTSD due to the trauma of being attacked, is suffering from multiple mental and psychological issues. Unfortunately there is no single pill or therapy to treat everyone with mental health issues. We have several pills with the same function because each individual patient's body reacts differently to the same medication. There are patients who get no relief from the medication. Tragically we lose patients every year to suicide as a result of yet another failed attempt with a new medication. Paul's anxiety, depression, fears, and phobias are very real. He is an extremely sweet, caring, and gentle man. Paul hates his situation but is living his life the best way he can. He doesn't ask for much. He would give you the shirt off his back if he knew it would make you smile. Watching this series and similar series such as Benefits Britain, On the Dole, On Benefits & Proud, and the like programs it's easy to differentiate between the truly needy versus the lazy bastards. Benefits schemes were designed for individuals like Paul. Does he "need" all of those animals? No. Do the animals give him a purpose, soothe him, relieve anxieties, and keep him from being lonely? Absolutely. Is he harming the animals? No. Is he neglecting himself? No. Paul is a model citizen in my opinion. I just want to hug him and tell him he is loved and a cherish member of the village. I hope after these programs aired members of the public and business community reached out to the deserving few featured in these series to offer them assistance. Paul has amazing qualities. With the right support and investment I think Paul has it in him to run his own business. All he would need is a bit of land and a cottage. With this I believe he could grow organic produce, raise chickens for eggs, and even take in sheep. Sheep he could let out for grounds maintenance. Or use could own a small animal boarding kennel. Often times we are held back from achieving our dreams by our own insecurities, lack of start-up capital, and/or all of the requirements. Paul has the potential to achieve success with the right support system. Unlike 90% of all others featured in these series Paul is not lazy or cheating the system to get out of working. A large portion of the 90% cheating and abusing benefits many are stuck in the poverty cycle. They either grew up on benefits or were victims of horrible parents, ending up in care. We know the majority of children brought up in care and their own offspring become dependent on the government for life; either in custody or dependent on benefits to survive. What really upsets me are those who say they got "paid". Those complaining "it's not enough to live a good life" while chain smoking, drinking, eating junk food, and/or take away. These same individuals complain about the few hours a week required to look for work and show up at the benefits office. Those on benefits have nothing but free time. Idle hands breed trouble. This trouble can be substance abuse, antisocial behavior, criminal activity, rowing, and procreating. Those having more children claiming it is their right are the worst. Yes it is your right to have children. It's your responsibility to provide for them..... Not mine or any other taxpayers. Those of us supporting you do not welcome more benefits children. Many of those children will end up on benefits themselves. Very few benefits children benefit from having their parent(s) home. If those on benefits were sanctioned for having children, they would do everything in their powers to avoid pregnancy, abort the pregnancy, or give the child up. It's obvious many choose to have more children to either remain on benefits or increase their benefits amount. We must do more to reverse course. The reforms several years ago force many to return to work at least part time. Listening to most of them saying "what's the point of working if I will earn about the same amount working as I do on benefits" really upsets me. Marry me Paul.... Lol Cheers!
It's not any better here in America. There needs to be stricter rules and guidelines. I am all for helping people, but when they are able, there needs to be a point where they begin to help themselves.
My gosh that was a lot of food for free! I have used the food pantry before, and you only get 2 bags worth, 1 choice of chicken or hamburger and nothing to make a complete meal out of! They are so lucky!
Where I live we don't even get meat like that. We get pinto beans, flour, oats, bread, and some expired fruits and veggies. I was so jealous when I saw their food bank haul.
I’d be ashamed to use a food bank if I had more than £1. They are supposed to be for people who literally don’t have a single penny. They just got 3 grand!. Disgusting.
I just love Billy she is so lovely. I hope her business works out for her. I wish she lived closer to me i could have done with her help with my dog and also my cleaning, she would be so much fun to have around. Bless you Billy and your doggies.
@@clivebaxter6354 Who are you to tell her she is selfish? she loves her dogs she takes them to the vets she feeds them she takes them out for excise, she loves them and they love her. if a dog is taught to be aggressive then they will be aggressive no matter what breed they are , there is not one sign these dogs are aggressive. i think you are probably more aggressive than these dogs, it's due to people like you that these dogs get a bad rep. she obviously likes animals more than she likes people and i wonder why that is?
@@p.j4545 Experience, dogs are a noise pest and often a danger to those living near people like this woman , who think of nobody except themselves and their nasty dogs.
Paul has all those chickens and said he's not an egg person cos he's had too many 😂😂 I love that. ...He could sell them as free range organic eggs and make a few bob extra.... Why hasn't he thought of this??
I'm disabled, yet I still refer to my PIP payments as 'getting my dole' - not 'pay'. I suppose referring to it as 'getting paid' is because that all they've ever known. I worked from 14 yr old to 45 yrs old before I broke my back in a motorcycle accident.
Paul says it only costs £50 a month to feed all those animals!!! What about things like pet insurance and vet care? He can't be telling the truth. My 13 month bichon cost me £200 per month including vet and pet insurance, food and grooming!! Having an animal and giving it the very best care possible costs a lot !
Doubt very seriously these people have insurance, vet care and definitely not grooming. The animals are getting the most basic care and resources are a hell of a lot cheaper if you buy in bulk. Your dog is a luxury dog and I’m sure eats very expensive food.
@@CaptchaNeon. Shes a bichon with sensitive stomach and therefore eats hypoallergenic food/treats, drinks only Evian water and is at the vets once a month for health checks😅😅
Did that Kim call her elder partner dad when she was cleaning out the bird cage 🤔 I could of sworn she called him dad until she clicked that the camera was on her so she made a point by calling him Garry!
Some civil servants, doctors and health appraisers do fail amazingly here. There is no reason at all why these extremely annoying free loaders and parasites do not work fulltime. Take away their benefits by 10% every single month. See how fast they suddenly find a job within a year.
The woman with all the bulldogs/pitbulls is going the kind of owner that breed needs. She’s the boss. The alpha. And they all listen to her. Wish we had more of that breed pet owners. I wish her well with her business. She’s seems to be doing well. And I happen to agree with the raw meat diet.
The only positive of this is at least they aren’t producing many kids like others benefit scroungers on this show. The damage these animals will have on society of minimal compared to those children.
Totally bizarre! The rest of us have ‘to work hard for the money’ - (& can’t afford to take on pets as well - without a job to pay for their costs)……Very odd!🙀🙀🙀
