So waiting for guy martin and sascha baron cohen to start, im watching dispatches. I dont watch this much, but this is like panorama right, exposing problems with our society etc?

Subject matter is all well and good, its quite interesting. But why is the bloke doing the programme going to these low income familes who are in need of financial help in a AMG biturbo SL? And im sure ive seen more shots of the car and its badges than of houses.

Am I missing something or is it just product placement?

Just had a look, thought you'd be exaggerating but that is a piss take! As inappropriate product placement goes that's got to be up there

It’s being used as a prop to highlight  the fact that most Housing Associations are now actually just high end property developers, with little interest in providing the social housing they were set up to provide, and instead paying themselves huge salaries to build and flog luxury apartments.

They are somewhat labouring the point though.

Emily Thornberry has come out of it well, I thought
