I WOULD urge anyone in Birkenhead North who has been approached by Benefits Street to decline.
This show is intended to demonise those on welfare (the majority of which are not actually unemployed).
Whatever you say on camera will be taken out of context, favourable behaviour will not be included and anything negative will be blown out of all proportion.
During the run up to the 2015 general election it will be used as propaganda by Iain Duncan Smith and Ester Mcvey to continue to destroy the welfare state.
I shall be boycotting this show (and Channel 4) and would encourage others to do the same.
