Going Underground: Corporate spies, means-testing depression, & self-UNemployed

Afshin Rattansi goes underground on the booming sector of corporate surveillance. Journalist and comedian Mark Thomas discusses his personal experience of being spied on by one of the largest corporations in Britain and the 'domestic extremist' explains how far company spying has infiltrated protest groups. We examine Ed Miliband's fortunes in our review of parliament's final PMQs before the summer break. We look at how people with depression will be forced to undergo treatment or face destitution under government plans. Plus, economist Vicky Pryce returns to Going Underground to untangle the jobs market and show how the growing number self-employed workers is symptomatic of austerity.

A great News/Documentary and spot on!

I'm self UN-employed and after Aug will not be able to claim any benefit without winding up my Company. I was given 6 months to turn an idea into a reality and turn a profit which is unrealistic.
