Daniel Blake

[nailit]

Has anyone seen the film I Daniel Blake? For some reason it wasn't screened on cinemas around my way but just seen it at a mates on DVD.
Iain Duncan Smith has said //the film has taken the very worst of anything that can ever happen to anybody and lumped it all together and then said this is life absolutely as it is lived by people, and I don’t believe that.//
From my own experience of trying to claim ESA and jumping through hoops when I was already ill only confirms that it is EXACTLY like that.

I presume nobody's seen it then, lol.

I haven't seen it, so unfair to comment - have just read the plot line and of course people jump through those hoops every day.

Some have posted on here.

Careful nailit...there are those on here who've probably never claimed a benefit in their lives. But...they will know way more than you do about what it's like to do so. ;-0

Don't give any credence to anything Iain Duncan Smith says.
He is a creep!

Any right wingers care to comment? Or is it simply easier to bury head in sand?

[nailit]

Bury ur head in the sand.
Hope it never happens to you.

How could you jump through hoops if you were too ill to work?

[Mamyalynne]

Only one word - Idiom.
