Message from Merthyr is a short documentary looking at how the 2011 benefit cuts will impact Merthyr Tydfil. Gemma and Donna Griffiths (Two Sisters) make a fifteen minute film about several people in their community who will suffer. In response to Iai n Duncan Smith's comment suggesting many people in Merthyr don't realise they can get on a bus to Cardiff to look for work, Gemma and Donna leave the Gurnos estate at 5:50am to get in to Cardiff for 8:15, to see what jobs are going.
Benefits are for necessities, not luxuries.

Don't worry. Your government is hot on the case finding new minorities for you to blame for their cruel and incompetent rule- anyone who isn't them!
Great documentary by the way. I wish they'd show stuff like that on TV!
