    So, it's a bit like me living in the same house as a woman (not married), but if I earned >£60k, the child benefit she gets would be taken out of my wages. We could be in a relationship or not, but if the government wants to save cash, I'm sure they would be looking for an interpretation that meant they could decide we were. Considering the number of stages we are away from the event - it happens - someone tells a researcher it has happened - the researcher packages that up for consideration - the editor of the program spruces it up for broadcast - I'm very skeptical of any resemblance to the truth. (I think this is true of most TV news, so I rarely watch). I'll be looking for reports tho.

    If it was a 'news show' as such I would agree but this was a moment in an extended piece of documentary footage about a number of (as far as I could tell) real individuals. It wasn't in itself either directly the topic of the documentary or any major part of whatever probably spurious argument they were trying to make which is one reason why most people missed it. I was fortunate I turned on in the middle and just got hit with this interview in progress. I had to watch the rerun to find out what it was all about. I've since talked to people fom inside councils who have confirmed that this is going on but the scale is very hard to judge.

      Listen, I had a doctor shove his finger up there not so long ago and it was bad enough. I would not wish for anything wider or longer to be inserted up my fundament.

      You really need to check the credentials of people you meet in the public toilets in the park.
