Derek heart was concerned that the implementation of universal credit gave a biassed picture. The focus on a valid case is a gross simplification and deliberately plays on viewers emotions. The previous system gave rise to even more problems and hardships as were previously reported. Painting the government as callus and ignoring the problems is not true.
