Revealing thread here on how the same person keeps turning up repeatedly in media “case studies” on poverty. Saw the same recently with Farage-supporting vox pops - the same couple on multiple channels.
Legal CThis disingenuous commentary doesn’t help anyone. Frauds start unravelling pretty quickly. That you apparently cannot afford to put your oven or treat yourself is quickly undermined by the question “so why are you spending £50 per week on petrol?” Then, it turns out, she has an agent and /1

Steven SheilKeep meaning to add this to the thread, a Beatles medley from the fantastically-named Café Crème. Not as visually wild, but makes up for it with sheer infectious enthusiasm. How many Beatles song can you fit into a 5 min medley? Whatever you're thinking, double it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=p1mD...
