@@al-manasama8370 I've wasted two years of my life down here and I feel nothing but pure hatred for the place. There's nothing to do, nowhere to go, the people are revolting. I literally have NO REASON to leave the house. Here's a list of things I've seen... An old man told me he saw 2 gorillas going down the street. I heard an old lady say a chinese man broke into her house and set fire to her dining room table. I saw a girl projectile vomit pink stuff on the floor. I was shopping and an old man came up to me and started talking about rod stuart and wouldn't shut up. I was walking home from shopping and saw a family of deer crossing the road. Two old ladies were playing hop scotch on the street. I'm starting to think i've become delusional from bordem living down here...

This is obviously created as an info guide for overseas "students" as to where not to "settle" during their "studies". We residents of Clacton love the fact that others run us down, we get to keep how lovely a lifestyle we have on our little peninsula to ourselves. It's hard here with our micro-climate and long hours of sunshine, miles of beaches and commutability into the city of London, Chelmsford, Colchester, Ipswich and Norwich for work. Please go to Basildon, as the narrator of this video suggested, there you will find shopping opportunities, a great nightlife, and well appointed leisure centre.

What a load of old tosh, yes the town centre needs a bit of investment and a few more shops, but they have done a great job on the pier, and the seafront gardens are very well maintained, the beach isn’t as bad as you say. In fact quite nice. So overall a very unbalanced view,. Clacton has some really good friendly people with heart and community spirit brought up from the East End of London.

It's political (in case you hadn't noticed). Not a bad mainstream word was ever said about Clacton before Brexit. Ever since Clacton elected UKIP's only MP and gained a reputation as being the main Brexit town, pro-EU supporters and organisations have been trying their hardest to discredit Clacton. Not just Clacton - everyone and every thing that contributed to Brexit in some way has been in the firing line, involved in some kind of contrived scandal or just treated like a pariah, from Boris Johnson to Dominic Raab to Phones4U, Wetherspoon, John Cleese, Patisserie Valerie... Clacton is actually a really nice place. You only have to visit the town to realise that the criticism it gets is bizarre and is obviously part of some wider political manipulation. God forbid a nice English town would want to leave the EU. Portray the town as a downmarket flea-infested cesspit and you also discredit its population and decision making process.

@themancuniancandidate2744 11 ай бұрын

Weeeeeell....you might have the semblance of a point if Brexit was actually good for something. Except it isn't. There isn't a single-not a fucking one-tangible, verifiable advantage to leaving the EU. There are, however, an absolute fuck ton of downsides, most of which Brexit morons were warned about before the referendum, but which were dismissed contemptuously as 'Project Fear'. So, since Brexit fuckwits got us into this godawful mess, perhaps they should be held responsible for getting us out of it, and until they do they need to be made to realise the enormity of their actions.

It is not a nice place. It is depressing. It's so run down with dodgy people all around. Not saying there aren't some very nice people there. There are many. But Clacton is horribly depressing to me. Never seen so many stooped old folks riding round on electric scooters and young single mothers out and about....

I've Been To Clacton In March This Year,And I Don't See Anything Wrong With The Town Whatsoever. This Is A Total Joke. I Never See Anything Depressing With It. Learning Canteen,How Dare You Insult The Residents. There Is Plenty To Do In Clacton,There's Amusements,Great Restaurants,Cafes,And Also Good Shops Although They Are Few And Far Between. You Are Just Insulting The Residents,Also,You Are Overestimating The Bad Reputation Of The Town. Also,When I Went There,There Was Virtually No Crime Whatsoever During The Day. And The Crime,Even Though You Might Think The Crime Is Bad,But Clacton Is Not The Most Dangerous Area In Reality. I'm Sorry To Say This,That You Never Want To Go Anywhere In The UK,Not Even Any Remote Parts. Not All The UK Is Beautiful,But,There Are Lots Of Beautiful Landmarks And Gorgeous Beaches,Though. It's Not Research You Are Looking Up,I Think It's False Information. Sorry Learning Canteen,But This Video Is Absolute Sh*t,An Insult To The Residents Of The Town And It's Also An Overestimation Of The Press.

Although,The Shops,Cafes And Restaurants Are Very Few And Far Between,There Is A Nice Beach Along With Amusements,Ice Cream/Donut Stalls,A Good Chippy Right At The Entrance Of Clacton Pier. What More Could You Want. There Is Also A Ferris Wheel,With Beautiful Views Of Clacton-On-Sea From The Air. Learning Canteen Doesn't See It,They Think It's An Absolute Dump. When I Went On Holiday To Clacton-On-Sea In March 2023,There Was Very Little Crime When I Went There. It Was A Great Experience When I Went. This Video Is So Misleading,It Should Be Taken Down With A Copyright Warning Notice On The Video. They Are Not Encouraging Clacton-On-Sea To Grow,Develop And Invest.

I visited Clacton in the early 70s for the first time with my parents. And I loved to be there - the beach , the amusements, the people. Ok I had to mention that I had relatives living there. We continued traveling to Clacton until around 1990 and it seems that a lot has changed since then. Nevertheless I love that place. BTW I'm German.

As someone who used to take regular day trips to Clacton for several years (until we switched to Felixstowe) I can't recognise it from the comments in this video. It is what it is, a nice little seaside resort, with (in my view) fairly good shopping facilities. I don't care much for places that replace their traditional buildings with modern stuff, and in my view the pier was always a lively and entertaining place.

@leoseries Жыл бұрын

A similar video could be made in Paris or Barcelona without needing to try to hard. Alternatively, You could have easily made a video that would depict Clacton as a thriving popular Seaside resort. It would have been just as misleading. Showing early morning streets in lousy weather and using pictures of the station exterior is hardly typical of anywhere! Add to this, the photos of a bloody knife and a handcuffed man to shock the audience are simply manipulative.

@jasonwhitecomposer 10 ай бұрын

12 reasons? I don’t think so. You repeatedly dwell on the same subject more than once as a different reason. We all know Jaywick is run down. It’s not dissimilar to many other seaside towns which have their own run down areas, but you don’t really specify that. You fail to mention that Clacton has two theatres, a cinema, an escape room, adventure farm, garden of remembrance, a shopping village, a golf club and a history museum! Also the people of Clacton on Sea are quite possibly the most welcoming of people when you visit their town. Yes the pier has seen better days but they are making improvements on that which again you fail to mention. As for crime, Clacton’s crime rates are minuscule in comparison to the town of Edmonton that I live in. Perhaps next time it would be more appropriate to look at some positives as well. Rather than sticking a knife into the heart of the town.

I grew up in Clacton b:1950 until 1968. During that time Clacton changed from a leading resort with a Butlin's camp (indoor pool) to a mod and rocker punk town. My dad owned a cafeteria next to the pier and earned enough in the 12 week season to live on for a year. Kids don't see the world the way adults do and summer fun was always on the menu. I would love to go back but am now entrenched in Miami and no longer want to travel.

I would have liked to stay longer. It was hot and sunny but I never could stand it if it was cold and wintry. and

Ok I’m reading the comments and let me tell you the view of a teenager who has lived there for their whole life. After years of living here it gets so boring and nothing changes. Toby Carvery is being renovated which is good for us. The pier has the roller coaster but it’s still shit. It needs to be redone because it’s so cramped and boring. I disagree at the part where he said we had no cinemas, pubs or libraries. We do. Anyways it is shit and there’s too many potholes aswell. The whole town would need to be redone it sucks and there’s dickheads everywhere. There’s road man constantly in the town everywhere and it feels unsafe to go there.
