I’m from teeside and they have made it look worse then it is

The red doors were the houses owned by Jewish entrepreneur Jomast whos absolutely coining in on the housing of immigrants

got a house in a week yet people have been on housing lists for years dont see the problem why didnt he claim refuge status in the first country thats the rules !!1

My heart went out to the chap called David (a week without food - it's not right) and the lady who has to use bars on her property - so sad! It is so hard for everyone at the mo all over the UK - we all need to help our communities. Food banks are so essential. And in particular focus help on regeneration in areas which have the greatest poverty

no food for a week and you ride a nice bike ... ye right

I worked with a lot of Boro lads in the late 80s early 90s .A top bunch of lads

Spread across the continent like chaff in the wind, living isolated, losing their culture. It would be much better for them and much better for us if we used the money to create settlements close to their home countries where they can live together and retain their community

if this so called refugee crossed the med why and how did he arrive in the uk, he passed Italy france and spain at least. its all rubbish.

Tax payers funding all these benefits

I grew up here all my life before emigrating a while back. It amazes me that nothing has changed

I was in Boro in the nineties and it felt like a forgotten outpost of a distant empire even then. Dear God! Has nothing been achieved in all that time?

News crews don't show the good parts of Middlesbrough like Marton, nunthorpe (I know that's technically Redcar in Cleveland) but still I live there and we live in a nice house and neighbour hood so cameras don't do Middlesbrough justice

That guy at 4:08 who walks past then peaks he’s head out 😂

I am from australia.Both parents born in boro. I see know why they came to oz.

Had asylum seekers that moved near me No1 bothered them nice house made welcome but they decided to move to the parts of town shown on this video they won't intergrate

He gets a house within a week and has a £36 weekly allowance but after paying his phone bill he keeps just about £4 "it's not easy you know? My family are in a warzone that's why the phone is so important" his father lives in Sweden and the rest of his family are in Turkey. Nothing to add all lies, could have stayed in Turkey which was a safe country but these people are willing to drag their kids in a suicidal journey across the world even crossing the sea and risking their lives for "a better life" that's not "seeking asylum" that's seeking a better life, asylum would be the first safe country

I'm from boro theses people don't want these houses 😂 how about the Homeless

Risks his life running away, most would risk their life and fight for their country!

its a mess down there now especially the housing near thw center. stinks of waste and most are scruffy and dont give af. sad really

You couldn't pay me to move back to to teesside. I loved it, before I lived outside of it. It's nice to go back and visit. But my god its nice to be out.

They show the worst parts if middlesbrough

As the Dalai Lama says , go home !

Turkey is a safe zone?

This isn't even a story when the headline leaves a question mark. This video is to fit Channels 4's out of touch narrative.

Get out of the EU and closed all your borders.

Keep paying your taxes so we can keep funding our replacement.

Teesside is still probably one of the most closed minded, rough and horrendous places in the country. I grew up there and got out as soon as I could

Republic of Ireland, Iceland, Norway are better places than Britain as far as economic and social mobility.

As the Dali lama said himself They should fight for peace in their own countries

We emigrated to New Zealand 20 years ago and never regretted it for a second. We lived in Thornaby and now and then, I can look at those places out of curiosity on youtube. I still get that feeling of depression even though many places have been poshed up I can still sense the despair and hopelessness of many people, maybe I,m wrong.. That place bears absolutely no resemblance to the country I grew up in. I still see thousands of people plodding along carrying shopping bags because they havn,t a car and cannot afford bus fare. I took a bus from Thornaby to Stockton and what once cost only a few pence, cost 2 Pounds one way and it was within walking distance! It seems that if you havn,t a car if you live in Thornaby, you,re practically hemmed in by motorways and you,re trapped. I remember thinking twice about going to the corner shop after 6pm because of unsavoury looking teens hanging around in gangs.I We had a young daughter and felt the need to get her away from there altogether and moved as far away from Britain that you can possibly get without heading back.Twice I have been back to visit family. The first time reminded us why we emigrated in the first place, the second was closure. The first thing that happened to us was, all our health greatly improved. Everything improved.

Thanks for sending them to us France!! I bet they never believed how the Boro turned out!!!

hardwick anyone?

Why not fill all the posh hotels in london with these illegal immigrants and let our homegrown homeless have these houses. The politicians would soon start clamping down on our imported detritous .

5:04 A week of no food and you look like that?

Tuxedo Royale looks pretty rough.

I never had a problem getting work in Teesside. I've lost jobs in the past, but pretty much found a decent new one 2 weeks later. I'm a heavy goods driver of course

For men’s is easy asylum life because they work in black but for women with baby’s it’s very very hard

If yo don’t like it leave then enough people need help in this country

UKIP and right wingers need to start brushing their teeth.

If that lad hadn’t eaten for days he would have ripped into those carrier bags to eat anything he could open .Utter BS

no wtf

Poor David no food for 4 days, what a liar and a smack head.

to be renamed teesideistan, i live in stocktonistan

Do like Denmark make them work for their benefits, no work No house, No work no food or benefits .

they accommodate asylums in the worst part of middsbro

2:07 £36 a week, £4+ a day to live on. So ~£8 is spent on the phone bill?

Am a Eastbourne lad, combat 18is the truth lucky

I used to live there I grew up there but I live in Blackpool now

So he can't work and loves on less than 40 pound a week that's shocking

This country is so fucked. The poor are uprising. Can't give them more free money. I have said this before and I'll say it again, open those mines back up and get everyone working.

theyre human beings, why are so many people full of hate towards foreigners

Say it loud say it clear refugees are welcome here allahu snackbar

He's got a Glass full of money 2.47, and still whining.

You heard it yourself folks. Come to Britain, get a house within a week.

36 divide 7 is 5.14. So he has 5.14 a day to live on and his phone bill costs £1.00 a day. Don't twist things to make it seem worse.

propaganda 101

What a great guy he is, abandoning his family, then he wants to complain about cost of phoning them from his allowance

Teesside is horrible now i hate life here if it wasn't for my kids i would be swinging from a rope

Excellent reporting.

You MAKE your life, wherever you are.

you would not come to another country to live on £4 per day and the bullshitter who said i have not eaten for a week

This guy is siran men hahaha I know him he get paper now abhahab

Lol x

The reason we have wars, from which people flee, is precisely because of the kind of attitude exhibited in many of these comments.

i live near the fountain in stockton and had a 0h contract so one week id work 60hours and the next 2 weeka id have no work. the council left me homeless 19 weeks until i eventually found a private rent property and you know what, ive never had any benefits but I certainly wouldnt persecute an asylum seeker for living for free next door. people are people and i can only get angry at the government for who they choose to help or not. no one else

u see guys alot of the comments was like he should have stayed and try to fight but talking is easy specially when u don't know the truth none of you ever been there it is not a war against someone or some groups we have people from all over the world fighting in our land .there is no side you can choose . we didn't ask for that or we didn't ask to get our lives destroyed. for the people who say that why did u choose the uk? cuz we can speak some english !! i've already lost 5 years of my life in that war and i don't need to lose another 2 years learning a new language we don't have enough enerji left to fight all the way from zero so please guus you should now and understand that we r not here to take your jobs or benefits we were forced to go out and we won't stay in your land for ever we r just visitors ...

we need more asylum seekers and refugees! good people, good people
