Panorma: A Job to Get Work Monday 6 June 2011
Tonight’s Panorama visits Rhyl on the north Wales coast to meet some of the people affected by the government’s planned welfare reforms. In one area of Rhyl, half of the adults are on out-of-work benefits, one of the highest figures in the UK.
Plum in the centre of this seaside town that was once a popular holiday destination, there is a pub called Last Orders. It is a somewhat challenging name because it happens to be right in the middle of an area where things have gone badly, depressingly wrong.
We came to meet some of the people affected and to see what the town itself has done to try to solve its welfare problem.
And to see if the coalition government’s “welfare revolution” is making a difference.
What an awfully one-sided programme. Quite astounded tbh, that the impartial BBC could broadcast so much of Chris Grayling and DWP diatribe and so little independent response.
And the hayley is back as the horrific fairy jobmother

Of course they had to feature the picky jobseeker who was sanctioned because he didn’t take just any job…and of course my hubby, just like anyone else who doesn’t understand about these issues, said the government was right not pay him JSA!
chris grayling is the man who thinks cancer patients should have no complaints about the 3 months dla test as they get a whopping £67.50 for those first three months.
