Sorry to all New Deal Scandal blog viewers for not commenting on the Episode 2 of Benefit Busters on the Longterm Unemployed – I have not yet seen it and is not available On Demand and via the 4od website.
What are Channel 4 playing at?
I will review the Channel 4 Benefit Busters Series 1 Episode 2 “long term unemployed” show when it becomes available.

It was online yesterday,I watched it myself online…
Its gone now though.
They were also showing on the benefit busters page on the channel 4 website that it was going to be repeated on normal tv (as ep 1 has been, and ep 3 will be) but now even that has gone now.
Something is up, no official comment from channel 4 on their site yet as to why its been censored completely.

Keep up the efforts in spreading the word – it appears that perhaps A4e have decided to block the programme being shown again.

If a4e have blocked it, it would just make them look worse!

I have worked it out. They withdrawn the consent to show the programme on 4od etc. Very clever – simply the reasons are hidden behind this front rather than saying directly “It is because we spent a lot of resources to show us in a good light, and it failed!” hmm…

I thought the 4od version went out after the show and the repeat had both been aired?

Where does this dizzy cow think she is? The waltzers in fucking Blackpool? She’s defo not on my world. That ranting and raving is not working for us. KFC? Burger King? Get a fucking GRIP….NOW! How fucking patronising. I would LOVE to tell her what went on at my work. Retail Marks and Spencer, similarily. What’s her name again? Sharon? Dont even remember the imact of her first session. Stop her NOW. She’s a bully. haircut, scarves and over-done eyelids just isn’t condusive to an auidiece which makes you look pro. All you do is intimidate. Sorry, it’s not worthy. You are so not suited to that job. Never mind though! You could always go into KFC……..as 1 no chicken! Enjoy your meal….

She also said *anyone* could get a job tomorrow…
However, with the a4e resources (thats money from Government and a team of people in the recruitment room) in addition to Hayley, it took over a month to get them a work placement/work trial in Poundland for 2 weeks free labour.
Then at the end of it only 2 or 3 people kept in the job. There was 10 people in the group to begin with.
Very poor…
