Clearly missing my point. Sky tv is not a nesscisity, it is a luxury, you don't have to have sky to be good parents nor do you need it either, if you are struggling to pay for food and need food banks to help you but pay for sky, your piroities in life are wrong.
You can't sit there amd go, we'll pay for sky because benefits can do that and food bank gives us free food. It's wrong.
You do know that people acquire things prior to becoming unemployed. If Letters lost his job and signed on, you're the type of judgemental person that would be blathering on about his top notch tv funded by benefits. And as for Sky, unemployed people also need to provide some entertainment for their kids and having Sky is pretty much the cheapest way of going about it.
Is it fuck. Clear difference in being on jsa etc for a short term, ie a few months and keeping your sky, and like these people who have been unemployed and on benefits for years.
I'm sorry but if you have been on benefits for years, and pay for sky instead of food, that's wrong. There are number of ways to entertain children, sky is not one. Free view has children's tv, and guess what? That's free, so you can watch that and pay for food too.

Top Gear was better.
But a little sparse.
Freeview is shit for kids. My son does not watch a single programme on channels like Pop and Kix because they are full of garbage. The only reason I have any Sky package at all these days is for kids programmes.
I believe the family you are talking about - both parents are in work. And I also believe you have no idea whatsoever in the pressure of parenting children, providing them with entertainment and the costs in doing alternative activities. Transport costs alone to activities can exceed the monthly cost of Sky.
I also suspect you don't really understand much about the vast range of people that are having to resort to foodbanks and the things that occur that are often unexpected that lead them to do so.
The only reason I have Sky these days is so I can watch Adventure Time on cartoon network.
I think of you whenever its on.
