Hopeless interviewing by Amol Rajan of Chris Philip on Today just now. Neither Philp not Rajan seem to know that much of the "working age benefit bill" goes to *people who work*.

Also a horribly matey tone of "blokes sorting this out together" while ignoring the key principle that no-one should be forced into care work (or other low-paid work) by driving them into poverty if they don't comply.
BBC = BS I have seen a few shocking interviews but they are like regulators. There just to advance the interests of high society. Look at the presenters who left over the last 10 yrs, tired of the BS. R. Sharp and the corruption between Boris and the BBC to install Sharp as Chairman did it for me.
Heres the most recent breakdown of the UK benefits bill I could find.
Note the vast sums of money paid to keep landlords in the style they've become accustomed to and to keep private business from spending their profits on paying a decent wage.
I find many of the ‘journalists’ hopelessly ill informed or ignorant about the welfare system.. parroting the lie about ‘sickness benefit’. Engage in facts or shut up.
Generalists interviewing generalists about specifics is rarely satisfactory. We need a change on Today: experts in their field addressing specific issues, with generalists bonding it all together.

Rajan is just an arrogant pompous shite.

You think it's likely that a leading BBC journalist and the shadow minister simply have not looked into this?
