Is morning television terrible everywhere?

Yes and yes.

Jeremy Vile.. and yes I agree. It's filmed in Manchester so all the scumbags from the estate go on to get free paternity tests and a bit of cash in their pockets for a can of Special Brew or whatever. Abhorrent.

@guriinii: shameless really; J Vile lines his pockets from car crash TV, he's worse than those who appear. They all need to get real jobs.

@Ironicman: They are just products of the environment they are born into. I live close to there and there is a massive unemployment rate. As they say, it's grim up north. Yes some of those will choose a life on the benefits but not for most. I spent years looking for work after the 2008 recession, after being cast aside. Eventually, I had to work overseas, I became an illegal immigrant, haha.

My point is, in an area where families flocked to over a hundred years ago, the descendants of those families struggle because there aren't enough 'real jobs' to support the population.

"It's grim up North." Classic line from the mighty KLF (JAMS.) Well done on your career, sounds as though you've done well. Could write a dissertation on Broken Britain and where we went wrong. I worry about my kids getting on in life and try and instil the work ethic in them as my parents did to me. Have a good day buddy.
