Mark Pilkington, I Feel Your Pain [Benefit Busters Episode 2]

Having watched Benefits Busters last night I really felt for Mark Pilkington who got the job with the landscape contractors. Did they give him the job because the cameras were there?. It was so disheartening when he got the letter saying that his hours were being reduced. I really felt his pain. He wanted to work, you could see when he had been in the job a short while what a difference it was making to his life and the relationship with his Wife, he made the effort and now he his back to square one again.

The programme said A4e were paid for Mark being referred by the jobcentre and then I would imagine a4e would probably be paid again when he got the job at the contractors. Now Mark is back to square one again will he get referred back to a4e again? easy money if you ask me, no wonder Emma has that smug grin when she was being interviewed for benefit busters and i would have that smug grin after getting a multi-million contract from the DWP. I mean Emma's alright, arsehole to everyone else, show me the money! Does Emma care about someone like Mark?

Even when she was being interviewed she didn't even let the interviewer finish his question and kept saying, yes, yes, yes, yes and grinning.

Can someone tell me what was all the making of models with cardboard and sellotape got to do with looking for a job?. How demoralising. I mean my kids come back from school with models like that and this company is being paid to do this.

Lets see what happens next week with the sick and disabled.
