Comments posted from Dawn-Marie Sanders’ account targeted Scott Bignell, 44, in a discussion set up by a mutual friend following the broadcast of Channel 4’s Benefits Street.

I found the show really boring and not at all a proper illustration of the low life residing in many Birmingham districts.

The people appearing in the show were quite clearly a typical bunch of Jeremy Kyle style performers - paid to say and do extreme things for the sake of commercial entertainment.  I bet in real life they are not at all as portrayed in the programme and are right to complain they have been branded as scum. In all probability in real life they are likely to be a lot worse.
