Racist moron? Me???

An unemployed family claim documentary makers made them look like 'racist morons' after they appeared on controversial TV show ‘Benefits Britain: Life On The Dole’.



Gordon Higinbotham - who has a foot long tattoo of Adolf Hitler on his back - and his daughter and son-in-law, Roseanne and Mark Snowden, claim they are now too scared to leave their home after receiving death threats following the Channel 5 programme. More than 2.5 million people tuned into the hour-long show which followed three families claiming benefits in Hull, East Yorkshire.

During the programme on Monday Mr Higinbotham's 15 tattoos were on display - including a ‘White Power’ slogan, the foot-long image of Adolf Hitler, which dominates his back, and an intricate picture of the Ku Klux Klan, which runs across the length of his stomach.

During the programme, father-of-four Mr Higinbotham said he had never had had a full-time job due to having a disabled son, and a lack of help by the Government.

But he drew criticism from many members of the public, after he offered to pay daugher and son in law money to vote UKIP in the EU elections.

He was filmed saying, ‘You tell me you’ve voted UKIP and I’ll give you some money’, before walking around Hull’s largest council estate in a jacket with ‘Skinheads Forever’ across the back.

He claims he was portrayed as racist in the footage, after being filmed saying: 'I like anyone as long as they’re English'.

The family have since issued an apology to the entire city of Hull in a bid to stave off trouble after fearing reprisals for their appearance.
