    Talk TV should be shut down for the sole reason of giving employment to Jeremy Kyle. I keep seeing his sneering face in my recommendations on YouTube and it's doing my head in.

    I didn't know Jeremy Kyle was still on TV.

    I don't have access to Talk TV but I only ever hear negative views about it.

    Good work MW123, like Nightcity my feeling is it's surprisingly balanced and fair-minded. And you're right, they give a negative response to any idea about forcing people into work. However, I think it'll remain to be seen whether Reeves, Kendall + co actually implement these suggestions in full, or whether they'll be so desperate to make savings that they ignore the findings. My inclination so far is to think the latter far more likely, but let's see what the green paper brings…

    Nope, 61 respondents is no way statically representative! And they might use that to rubbish the whole shebang…

    Social sciences differ from physical sciences in that they deal with complex human behaviour, which can’t always be measured as precisely. I’m not an expert, so I’m not qualified to say if this is a scam or the work of lazy students, but I believe the findings in the report are valuable, regardless of how they were reached. This interim report really highlights what the DWP is focusing on.

    He is and always will be a bully. He verbally abused and insulted people while hiding behind massive bodyguards and didn't show a hint of remorse when that guest committed suicide. In fact he actually had the temerity to act like the victim for his show getting cancelled. That bloke who hit him in the head with an envelope was a legend.

    Good old Debbie Abrahams, thank goodness we have her chairing the work and pensions committee:

    "Abrahams said people were already “barely clinging on”:

    Kyle is one of the most disgusting and evil people I've ever had the misfortune to hear of.

    Much of the UC rollout was based on pilots of 100 claimants.. What a joke.

    These particular researchers believe that younger people are better educated than older people 🤣 I don't believe the survey report will make a jot of difference to their plans.

    I remember jezzas confessions on Virgin radio before it went to absolute, I vaguely remember him ripping into people, but the Robbie Williams song sticks in my head more than the show

    Kyle also did this true crime show and I remember an episode where he was interviewing gang members or something and he turns to one of them and says "oi, do one!" or something, and then he ran off with his bodyguard and left the camera crew there cos it got him in trouble. What a cowardly sack of ****.

    Apparently, he got with the nanny who looked after his children and now has 6 kids ranging from university age to a few months. He does the 4pm to 7pm slot Mon to Wed. Yes Ian Collins is there, must be in his 50s the one in the morning Mike graham thinks he's right all the time, the newer ones Peter and Alex do weekends sometimes filling in in week days, don't belittle people.

    No younger people are not. My daughter went to college, but today young people think they are right all the time

    In the social sciences, a survey of fewer than 2000 is meaningless. In any country, including Afghanistan and Japan. For India and China, perhaps more participants need to be interviewed.
    This is for lawyers and governments to use any data to protect their interests. For example, national pride, justice and God's will. This doesn't work with science.
