Just to make it clearer what he said, having been informed by other FM's. He said he had to claim the dole for a short time before he started at college and the amount was so low it was little more than pocket money. He felt it was a derisory amount to be handing out to people and Dave agreed with him.
He did NOT laugh at all. You need to look at the video again, instead of inventing stuff.
He didn`t say it was a bit of pocket money TO HIM. He said it was like pocket money, meaning how low the amount of money is when your signing on. More or less extremley difficult to surive on. Which is true and David agreed...
The words YOU wanted him to say are not what he said but the meant the same thing, apart from YOU wanting him to refer to his "position" I take it a you mean privileged? Can you not see that?
This twisting of the conversation is nothing more than inverted snobbery, Lisa style.
It`s pathetic.
