Skint, Channel 4.

I watched this last night and it made me very uncomfortable. It felt like a kind of voyeurism. At the very least this programme is going to stir up even more raving about the welfare state from the likes of the DM and its readers.

Justifiably or not?  I didn't see the program.

The Mail don't seem to have reviewed it. The Telegraph has, and they seem to like it.

Comments are a bit Mail-esque, though thankfully few in number - in praise of gas chambers, FFS!

Having watched a second time I think it was actually a very good programme. It wasn't at all judgemental, instead simply observing.
