tonights wife swap

How can they claim benefits at no fixed abode?

How do they get internet access or petrol?

They are in danger of having their kid dtaken off them I reckon.
 
Which I don't suppose wil affect the benefit payments. Fucking ponces.Why don't they leave their poor kid with the rich family and fuck off somewhere to REALLY help the starving and impoverished and never come back.

As far as I understand it, they don't get benefits.
 
"I dont want to go back inside the house, I feel tension whenever I go in there!"

This woman is priceless! She wants her face rubbing in some brown banana and rice crispy sludge.
She'd probably eat it though, out of solidarity for those hungry babies in El Salvador.
 
God, that was awful watching the way she treated that little girl making her eat that cereal and the squashy bananas! :mad: She is awful. :(

The rich lady was lovely to that little boy. :cool:

The Lord told her to do it. :mad:

Think of the hungry babies:mad:

She had a look of the zealot mum in the movie Carrie.

Eat those fuckin' Rice Krispies.

Amen.

i just wished they did a wife-swap with that family that ate road kill and the Freegans.

Yeah, they said at the start that they didn't acept benefits. However, when you don't pay tax or NI then fundamentals such as school and NHS become more akin to "benefits" than they would for a tax paying family.

Fair enough for the freegans to live that lifestyle if they choose to, but I couldn't help but feel sorry for the kid. It was also incredibly frustrating when they repeatedly fobbed off the question of how they contribute to society by saying that they were doing god's work. I assume the donations they collected just went to pay for their camper van, clothes etc? They also seemed to want to convert everyone to their lifestyle, without realising that if that did happen, there would be no bins to rob. The freegans had several very valid points, and I think that a lot of what they were doing was excellent, but I would've had a lot more empathy if it weren't for the religious bollocks.

LMFAO!

That was one of the best wife swaps in a while

was probably one of the most pleasant too - the wost it got to was a bit of 'tension' whereas previous ones I've watched have involved shouting and massive rows.

I reckon that, despite being crazy the freegans are making a valid point regarding how much we waste though I'm not so sure how fair it is on their son & I'm guessing he might be getting a bit of stick at school tomorrow.

I reckon the problem with freeganism itself is that if people really took note of what they were saying, more people became bin dippers and supermarkets drastically cut down on waste then the freegans themselves would have to go and get jobs as their food supply would be diminished by larger number of people following their life style and supermarkets making an effort to be more waste efficient. - In a sense freegans ought to keep it quiet because if it became too popular then the whole system would be unworkable leaving a lot of very hungry hippies having to fight over bins.

That boy needed to meet someone like the rich woman. No child should have to worry that their caravan roof leaks. :(

I thought that the little posh kid was a spoiled brat though, we had to finish our meals when we were kids, and the way she blatantly ate sweets when she was told that she couldn't was awful.

Also, when I was young, there were other ways of serving leftovers than cold, on a plate (bubble and squeak for example).

Totally with you on the bananas though, the odd god-woman seemed to be taking real pleasure that they were a bit old and that it would upset the spoiled kid to eat them, which just seemed vindictive. We used to get old bananas 'disguised' in various ways to make 'em appealing, which is kinda the opposite way of approaching old bananas.

Bananas and custard anyone? ;)
 
the freegan lifestyle looked a bit bollocks actually.

i can understand the principles and stuff yada yada save the planet yada yada.

but bollocks to skipping, that kid needs a stable healthy balanced diet not what ever happens to have been thrown out on the day.
 
I read somewhere that the couples get paid £2000 to appear on the show.
The voluntary organisation I work for gets harassed by Wife Swap researchers every few months. They never reveal that it's for Wife Swap until pushed and I'm running out of polite ways to tell them to fuck off :rolleyes: They have offered us a £1,000 "finders fee" if we introduce them to a family who would be willing to take part.

Big Brother are far less persistent.
 
Well i was hoping that at least someone would be defending the freegan lifestyle? I take it no one cares because of their Jesus talk.

Why would anyone want to defend those holier than thou sanctimonious preachers?

Raiding skips is fair enough if you are homeless, but they chose to live like that and it's not fair on their child. Like Kidda, I wondered how their kid could get a balanced diet if they were dependent on what was being thrown away each night.

I do think it's appalling the amount of stuff they throw away, but you wouldn't catch me rifling through a bin unless I was actually starving.
 
What I didn't understand was why she made that poor little girl eat rotten sludgy bananas? I thought it was a bit of cereal she left :confused:

Didn't see this episode but will say that I know what a few people and organisations that eat very well/ feed homeless folk on stuff that is thrown away by supermarkets, markets etc..
