Mr Numba 1 hit the nail on the head, it’s a constant cycle in which they treat their children the same way they were treated by their parents because they were never taught any different and they were never educated out of school or taken to museums etc (cultural enrichment) like middle class kids ,which is why they will never escape this poverty and mindset and will always be working/lower class

True

Very true Kim, but do you know why these white families have ended up like this and why they need the help of strangers instead of their own friends, communities and relatives?

I'm glad there are people who can see beyond the surface of this video. You'll never have a chance in life if you've not had the support and encouragement throughout childhood. People are commenting that the boys are "stupid" or "chavs", things like "why can't they just get a job, there's plenty". I'm sure most of the boys dropped out of school. Why? Because there's nobody at home pushing them to stay in school. So they go to the streets, since that's the only place they fit in. With the rest of the kids who come from similar family backgrounds. They way you behave as an adult is a learned behaviour from childhood. How can you expect these boys to be model citizens when they've not had the same start in life?

This is the most sensible comment I have seen on these videos. It is not a simple case of lack of housing, it is that these people have had no guidance in their life & they need knowledge & self worth. If mental health help, teaching & social care were better managed & had more financial backing it would improve millions of lives better than just creating another council estate.

Shanice-Rochelle .J Thanks Shanice. It often seems like most black people have no empathy towards White people whatsoever. I am genuinely speaking from experience here with black friends. One used to speak loudly and proudly on Facebook to free a guy who stabbed someone. When I asked why his attitude was sympathetic, about how he grew up rough. But then again I've also heard him mock poor, scruffy looking White people asking for change or being hopelessly addicted. The guy who stabbed wore stone island jackets! Hardly impoverished in comparison but it's as though black people have been brainwashed to always look at whites with contempt. All in all I would say that poor blacks have more opportunity than poor whites. Especially from the state. What holds blacks back in the toxicities in their own cultures - especially afro-caribbean.

To summarise - the black attitude seems to be - If a black man stabs another he is a victim of circumstance. If a white man struggles to get by and needs help he is a wasteman bumbaclart.

Fowl Raoul you're right sadly, however the 'Black mans' attitude will not get them anywhere, me being black and knowing a lot of obviously black people has shown me this also, I've seen it with my own eyes

Obviously not all blacks are like that and all have the same attitude, so not to stereotype however... youknow the rest

Shanice-Rochelle .J Looking for a white BF? I'm rich and hench.

Jack Duffy amen did our Victorian ancestors smash up towns because they were under paid we didn't fight world wars for this shit

Jack Duffy working hard for minimum wage nowadays is unfair! Everything is so much more expensive.

I was unemployed, well working long hours in a curry house for little money. Even though I would have been better off on benefits, I worked my ass off to get out of the trap. Once you're on benefits, you are trapped.

Terrible comment

None of them said it was beneath them he's begging on the streets you mental idiot. But generally I agree but I'm middle class and I see what you describe there. Lot's of middle class on benefits because work is beneath them. In my early 20s I was one of them.

The social cleansing of London,clear out the riff raff.

+3rk4u There is a cleansing happening it seems. Who is being cleansed though?

I am sorry but this is baloney. If you need cheaper housing get out of London and move to the North and then when you have earned the right to live in London you can move back if you like it so much. All of this whiffwaff about family and feelings is ridiculous make those short term sacrifices to benefit in the long term. This rompous pompous joke we call "poverty" is hysterical if you want to see real poverty take a trip to Cape Verde where the little children are shitting in the street and are actually in poverty. Living in the west from UK to USA if you are short term poor my heart goes out to you G-d bless you and I pray you get well soon. If you are long term poor no excuse whatsoever you are TERRIBLE with money. I have been working since I was year 10 at 14 years old where I washed dishes for a restaurant and even before that in my area I would offer to clean peoples car for them, wash windows, mow the lawn anything I could do. I know so many people now I am older who work their asses off and pay taxes for what? So people like this can keep living on free government assistance which decreases the incentive to work while they sell drugs on the street and have babies they cant afford to raise through having out of wedlock children? They have no goals and for anyone to ever help them they need to have the desire to help themselfs

98raza20 they are prepared to live in those conditions because they know later on down the line they will be able afford to buy a proper house. As a Native I say majority of Brits are lazy and entitled who believe they should have the world at their feet because of their 15 year degree in lesbian dance theory

Don't rely on government housing free loader

Didn't you hear what they said at the start? It's too late for us you need to just look after the new youth.

that is the image that media has given you. 'Those' people do not have the opportunities as everyone else due to their location and situation with the council. If they had more opportunities then they would be training or at uni but the council has not facilitated that

Their parent's may not have given them much support, pushing them to focus on school, read them books, enrich them with culture and ideas, showing their kids a bad side like alcohol, laziness - it creates a cycle where the young may not aspire as much.

The point isn't that they don't want to go to university and contribute. The point is that if your parents weren't University educated you're less likely to be yourself, if there aren't well paid working class jobs in the area (a lot of the factory work was outsourced to China and India) there is less for them to aspire to anyway.

They probably pay more into the system than you know, do you think people who hold onto their wealth consume by shopping at the same places or even paying the same prices as they overcharge a lot in interest if you're on a low income and have to pay nearly triple the amount to what a wealthy person would have to? University isn't a good measure of an educated person anymore not to mention the huge amount of debt you're left with afterwards. If communities came together more then you would have electricians, plumbers and mechanics and who knows what else if money and funding and most importantly empathy given to those who haven't been dealt with the best in life though no fault of their own! we need to take care of the young in our society as they will be the ones keep it going not the governments! Also having been brought up in poverty and lived on a council estate myself I've experienced first hand that everyone is trying to survive hand to mouth and very few want to live that way and poverty has been proven to rewire your brain as lack of nutrients and the main focus is just surviving that day and this leads onto bad choices being made due to just wanting basic comforts such as heating, food etc and how can you save when you've hardly got any money to begin with and the big TVs people sneer about are brought at an exototinate cost from pay monthly schemes, yes the people who are poorer than you can and should have access world you know as everything is online now and that costs money. I also have a very wealthy father who was tight as anything and hoarded his wealth and never contributed a penny! so saw both sides of the coin and can say the wealthy side was much much more meaner and crueler as they dont know what it's like to have nothing, or very few do! If people were less devided though sheer snobbery and came togther you would find you have more in common than you ever though was possible!

'This is England' is a great film! :) highly interesting.

Not needed.

Saint Ayejax ! If you were born in the uk then these are OUR people who we should be taking care of, clearly living in poverty in a rich country. The fact you look down your nose on people who are not as fortunate as you is actually a reflection of YOU not them. Why don’t you put your hand in your pocket and help change somebody’s life. They are people who cannot change the fact they haven’t got any money or a home. Yet this country takes in immigrants like they’re going out of fashion when our own people are living like this. And to be fair I actually think mikey is a lovely caring guy who tries his best with the shitty cards he’s being dealt. Maybe you should try be a “saint” instead of talking about poor people like they are a piece of shit because if the area they live in!

These are not the white privileged members of society the privileged ones are off on gap years or traveling the world which is the biggest lazy excuse really. They can only do that because the have rich parents and a trust fund.

I think the comment was sarcastic. The term white privellege refers mainly to middle class people.

Stacey Louise commie skum!!

Angela TraumaMama Women are the key to all this that’s why they are being targeted. They want white women to abandon white men.

Authentic Mental Health people rely on those handouts cause they have nothing I’ve known people in England who just do the same as there family fail in life they never succeed in life I’ve seen year 7 kids smoke weed do cigarettes and drink alcohol. I’ve known people who overdosed on heroine about 4 months ago a guy I New is dead because of that and his parent are probably the same as he was. They always end up like there parents nothing for them except a free council house and some benefits which aren’t that much.

Authentic Mental Health people who say that r posh boys who took hand outs of their rich parents

Get educated get a job and get out of the benifits system is the only way out of poverty. Stop expecting free stuff, no one owes you shit ,once you understand that if you choose to be out of work and be uneducated then best chance you will get is small.

I can highly commend that comment. My fiance is Indonesian (I'm from Glasgow) everytime I go to Jakarta the place is amazing I mean it's a very rich city but it's also full of poverty and there i no social divide, you have gated communities and big mansions next to literally shacks and shanty towns. Yet the people in the Shanty towns don't run around in gangs or play victim, they do odd jobs, they do anything just to make ends meet. Just like my family done and raised me like also. We came from the most deprived areas in Glasgow and not once have I pissed about and moaned. I literally striven for my education because I knew if I fucked around in school I would become a product of my environment and end up like the lazy people I grew up seeing. After leaving school finding a job was hard but I kept at it until I got a break, I was out everyday searching, handing CV's, networking with people, talking to locals, talking to people in shops, on buses, literally everything I could do it find work and then after that the rest is history. Had to work in some horrendous jobs but it was money and it was survival. Now I'm in a decent job and living a steady life. I came from the gutter and managed to make a living. This video doesn't highlight real poverty and social issues, it highlights "rich country problems" like you said. Always wanting something for nothing. I bet all these people in the video would refuses a cleaning job if offered because they felt it was below them or they didn't want to do it as it wasn't glamours and then piss and moan that they are in poverty. The UK is horrendous and getting worse. It's true that the working class in Britain and the government are scum towards us always trying to keep us down, but these people in the video do not help themselves. Rather than sit around and complain get of your arse and go find work, any work and then work towards what you wish to become. It's a long and hard road but you just have to suck it up and get it done. You comments is so true mate, very true narrative on how the rich nations are becoming.

That's because there is work to do for anyone who isn't crippled. The situation is far different in the western world that has these simple jobs either transferred to 3rd world or just doesn't need them anymore. Can't compare someone going through trash to find something they can sell to someone who'd be arrested if they tried to go through trash.

hilarious that they call themselves working class, seen more effort from homeless people collecting cans lmao

@@sukhbirdhillon2102 They, their families were and are working class, their family historys are working class. They have every right to consider themselves working class. It's just that when industry was sold off in the UK , huge districts and regions found themselves in a dire situation as the areas around them degraded and slid into poverty. Thus various consecutive governments ignored the issue. The flooding of remaining work places with cheap foreign labour and now huge influxes of 3rd world economic migrants coming in and claiming welfare has made the situation much much worse. Think, before you comment, the UK is getting sick and tired of comments from privileged protected groups of people.

Cuz employers don't want a homeless person working for them?

Easy for a woman to say

Because when your working with the public your required to smile lol 😁 and chris will scare them away

what a load of bollocks for one they cant afford a football let alone a musical instrument, people like you live in a dream world ,have you ever been to these places? you might hear of no go zones in p**i areas like bradford bolton etc,but let me tell you the truth, go to beeston in leeds, in your middle class car and clothes, you wont leave with your car ,phone or wallet, roofs burnt off houses kids walking about freely with knives, not a coloured face in sight the police wont go there without an armed response unit, its sad, i only went there to pick up someone for my sister, but im alright because im covered in tattoos from a council estate in london ,ex football hooligan ,and i even got directions from some of the lads,i chatted to them about football about cars motocross bikes things they understand ,people like you dont get it, and trust me you dont want them to get involved in politics because they would all vote far right

@@alanjax7685 in hindsight my comment does appear ignorant but I'm not completely insulated from what these areas are actually like. At times it must be easier in these neighbourhoods to get involved in gang activities, violence, crime but what I'm saying is the choice is still there whether to do this. The alternative things I suggested didn't necessarily all apply but as one example: you say you chatted to them about football - surely if they have enough money and time to watch/consume football then they would be able to afford at least some other less expensive things? Of COURSE public spending has to play a role in helping these communities, and clearly needs to happen far more in impoverished areas than it is happening. Your point about the far right is a good one as well and in hindsight what I said about getting involved in politics doesn't hold too much weight as it's actually very difficult to make any sort of difference in that arena for anyone. Above all I'm sure you'll agree the problem is deep-rooted and even with more public spending (which has to increase to help change anything), it would take a long time for improvement to be noticeable

@@thomasmahoney4991 the problem lies in the fact that as i said it suits the powers to be to keep the white working class uneducated and use them to keep there machine turning and generating money for them, i got out because i had a brain although i spent many times in jail fighting the system , i now earn more than the teachers at school who told me id be nothing, but i and most of the people i work with are sick of building houses for these pretensious pricks to live in, o im a consultant o im a human resoures manager, o well you are so skilled i tell you what heres my fukin trowel go and build your own fukin house, because we are just unskilled working class idiots, treated like mugs no pensions no holidays, no pay when it rains, sorry for the rant but we have had enough, there is nobody left to build the houses that they need, o will build 250,000 houses a year? no they wont because there is nobody to build them, o and as for your point about football they have tvs they know the results, but they cant afford to go, but they can walk to leeds station and have a row on a saturday afternoon its free

I disagree. I have worked hard to get where i am. But, the reality is, council's and government only care about themselves and the bosses. Make no mistake about it. I've never let them make me give in. It's easy to quit your job, but it's not easy to pay for your mortgage and all other bills, alongside dress smartly and have the superifcial things that relate to a normal life, if you quit your job. Its also not easy when the cost of living and inflation rises constantly, but wages don't balance it out, unless you're a banker, politician or something where it's a "Boys club" so to speak. One rule for them, and the rest of us get the scraps, alongside from financially raped with Tax. So I don't know where you're living, but it certainly aint in the real world.

I know where to point the finger when it comes down to the state of the UK these days and it is not at the poor people suffering a miserable day in day out struggle just to get by. In this country the rich get richer and the poor get trampled on, laughed at and mocked, ripped off and given zero opportunity to better their lives and get poorer as each day slips away along with their sanity. There is these things called compassion, understanding and love and respect.We are very short on these things today so reading your comment was like a breath of fresh air.
