you're talking about a mentality among people, and I'm not in a position to dispute that.

But if you do watch the doc you will hear the stats they site about poverty. It's pretty damning. Brexit has certainly made things worse. And broke is becoming more and more accurate.

Well, sure. But this has existed for a long time. The last documentary was about 'generational poverty', 10 years back or so, pointing out what the GP said: families who haven't had a job in 4-5 generations. That this large group exists hasn't been news for a very long time.
