Cases like Daniel Blake's are all too prevalent and people really are dying because of this ridiculous welfare system, seemingly designed to stop anyone even applying in the first place, although I happen to think the message that this film tried to get across will fall on deaf ears --- by choice I might add by the cunts in the HOC.
A great piece of drama of a truly sad situation placed upon a man by the very people meant to help him in his time of need, and I must admit that on a personal level I enjoyed the humour when the obligatory drunken jock called Ian Duncan Smith a c**t (basically).
I am glad I watched it.
That was exactly what I was thinking when watching it and what made it very poignant when watching the sad drama of that poor man's last days on earth battling against an uncaring establishment.
It has made me rethink a lot of things to be honest.
And on a parting note I would just like to add that IDS has always been a horrible cunt, even when serving he was much reviled.
