Tipex Posted May 7, 2011 Share Posted May 7, 2011 Quite an interesting watch, in where some of it's filmed around Sheffield. 2 things bugged me though...The huge family moaning they can't get a bigger place (who asked them to have all those kids??)... And the young girl and her partner, who despite having no money still manage to put themselves in a situation of having a child (Surely you wouldn't do that if you couldn't support yourself) http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b0110b4f/Panorama_Council_Houses_Cheats_and_Victims/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And a big point of the programme seemed to be how difficult it was to get a council house in Sheffield. This theory was blown apart when it was revealed that they hadn't kept their record up to date.

LadOnDole Posted May 7, 2011 Share Posted May 7, 2011 I agree heading north, why should the children suffer? In my case, kids suddenly appear and the 7th one is on the way. I spilt from her becasue she moans I not got a job I've now got a new partner who I met on facebook, we are having unprotected sex, yes...... however we are not trying for a baby. That is not the reason we are having sex. We are having sex because I've not got a job and need something to do to pass on the time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
