They go undercover posing as Joe Public eking out a living on the dole, mixing with the underclass whilst really being multi millionaires. Their objective is to find worthy recipients of their dough. A reality programme I find engrossing and instructive. At the end of their stay they reveal their true status and hand out largish cheques to their chosen recipients.
This week the chap was a plain speaking Conservative voting businessmen who dismissed all of the doleites as the parasites they undoubtedlty are. He was not going to give them any more unearned dosh. Just like Government huh?
He eventually found a few deserving hard working people, one a recent refugee and also, (perhaps dubiously), he contributed to an asylum refuge. The point is clear however. Where individuals can discriminate between the worthy and unworthy, deserving and undeserving poor, benevolence has true value and purpose. When governments get in on the act the results are almost always deleterious not to say catastrophic - socially, economically, politically and morally.
