In response to Karen's blog 'Shameless' [ http://karen-summersun.blogspot.com/ ]I completely agree with her! Although it is a brilliant series to watch it does excellently highlight the issues in which we have spoke about the past six weeks! Especially Episode 9 on the 3rd March where they got caught by the benefit officer. This issue is an ongoing thing throughout the United Kingdom in all classes. The story of Jeffery Cole and Sashi Bacheta was highlighted in the media on 23rd February. They had both claimed £62,000 in benefits when both were perfectly healthy to work. They were pictured on there £100.000 yacht! http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/wales/south_west/7905946.stm.
Shameless does highlight issues that should be looked at more seriously in todays society but makes fun of it. An easier way of approaching difficult issues that some people may find offensive or difficult to deal with. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U6Cjz3e1sXs.
