Doubts over the real reason for Benefit Busters Episode 2 being pulled has increased tonight when parts of the initial showing wasn’t available for viewing – being completely edited out!

The initial concerns were of such actions being carried out by A4e. Concerns then followed that episode 2 was pulled by the Government. After Channel 4 advised people that it wasn’t on 4oD due to  them not having the rights, it was finally emerged that Benefit Busters episode 2 was pulled due to conceal someones identity after someone complaining they featured in it without consent.

New Deal Scandal can reveal that not only was someones face blurred for approx 2 seconds when Natalie walked in the room to persuade someone who is looking for construction work to take part in zero-hour contract agency work.

This face blurring could be absolute nonsense because the Ipswich Unemployed Action member who watched the new broadcast on 4oD quickly realised that a rather big chunk was edited out (which was also noticed by ken, a regular poster on this blog).

We now believe that Continental Landscapes Ltd may have taken legal action or threatened Channel 4 with legal action regarding broadcasting a clip showing a colleague of Mark still working on the streets outside his house despite Mark being axed for presumably not enough work being available.

We have a copy of the clip below and I have set it so it starts from the appropriate time.

The missing scene of Benefit Busters Episode 2

After the scene the rest of the show will continue, so not all the video has been edited out.

If you know of any more missing scenes and video clips of Benefit Busters feel free to let me know.

    hi sorry to keep posting please dont think bad of me,continental landscapes might well want this pulled in their interests.debbie points out he has something on his back this isnt a strimmer,it appears to be a weed killing device,on very very close inspection it appears their workman is smoking a cigarette while using this equipment also,he isnt wearing any suitable clothing for this task or face mask respiratory equipment and parts of his body are exposed as well such as his arms’,the company looks to be in breach of the health and safety at work act 1974. therefore this raises questions to be asked about continental landscapes also as to how there business is run such as health and safety training exe. this may well explain why the complaint.
