I, Daniel Blake

[guest]

It's a good and well acted drama, but rather contrived in my opinion. It is as if every kind of the worst benefits disaster or mishap cliche is thrown into the film's running time. I groaned at the "nasty" Jobcentre supervisor calling the "nice" supervisor into the office for a dressing down for helping Blake, using that passive aggressive "unacceptable" language to do so.

Much of the issues illustrated will no doubt be levelled at the Tories, and rightly so, but some are going to be inherent whoever is in government, such as older claimants finding themselves frustrated with online applications, or the state using 3rd parties to make the ESA assessments.

Right wing nonsensical bullshit.

Fraud amounts to less that 1% of the total welfare budget.

People who are immigrants have to fill out the forms the same as everyone else you moron.

The facts are there... fool!..... wether UK citizens born and bred, or otherwise.... fraudulently abusing the system!

I take it you’re one of them.... otherwise, you too would begrudge funding the scrounging malingerers!

What I did find not to be true to life in that film was how DB was constantly reiterating how his Consultant, GP, Physio stated he was not yet fit to return to work.... yet at no point did he get any of them to argue his case stating this to be fact!..... that’s all it needed... why even attempt to seek employment this being the case!

All exaggerated for TV to an extent..... same as the girls situation.... if you’re getting food from a food bank, then surely a packet of STs bought legitimately isn’t too much to ask!
