@gozitan5 Yeah, Labour under that idiot Blair opened the doors for all these foreigners to flood in, and now the morons of Britain have voted for another Labour government. Too thick to realise which government started this, and just blamed the Tories for everything that's wrong with this country.

the Ye Olde Black Boy is the oldest pub in Hull (1729). We also have the smallest window in England in old town which I find interesting I love our history
Btw, the name refers to the fact it used to sell tobacco as it's based in old town and on the estuary, black boy was a stronger flavour of tobacco imported in.
@@BlessoMusic exactly, most people don’t understand what smackheads are like to each other let alone someone like these 3 above us crying about her cause she “seems nice” haha
A lot of northern areas have never recovered from the kicking they had in the 80's. Still, the old town pubs In Hull are still sound as I was back there earlier this year for a few pints.
Thanks for that! I spent 4 years in Hull until 1991. I moved from the south. Everyone I met said I was the only tool that ever moved TO Hull coz everyone else was trying to move out 😂 Best 4 years of my life. Worked for Chris and Ben at MRN and had great night's out with tje other print staff. You brought back some great memories m8.

Billy is a decent lad, he’s had his own issues and sorted his head out. I’ve always got time for someone who can do that, and I’ve been in a similar situation to him in and out of jail but have stayed away from trouble and jail since 1998. The system itself doesn’t make it easy for anyone getting out of jail, especially today.
Reflect many cities in the UK Lots of investment in Hull especially around Marina's old town area. Hessle roads old fishing community area left neglected for decades losing its community spirit.
The best parts of Hull are never shown, it has some wonderfull new private estates, homes are going up all the time. I live in the Hull postcode and it's a lovely place,. Millions has been invested in the city, it's not all bad it really isn't.
It does need more investment, problem is, the location, you don't really change trains etc, the journey ends there, unless you travel to donny for connections or go north.
Loads of friendly people in Hull and the old town is really well kept. There are plenty of rough parts but all our cities have them. I hope that lady gets help and can make something of her life.
Quite a few of the comments say it’s the fault of the councils but councils have been deprived of a huge chunk of their money since 2010 but are still expected to deliver the same services. I’m from Newcastle but live in Hull. It’s got really nice areas, bags of potential and lovely people but it needs jobs and money.
Ilive in hull born & bred Leeds West Yorkshire. Hull is no worser than any other city infact terms of crime & homeless or town centre shops there is alot lot worser. Love ya positive attitude, grab the day, wonder did he. Sure just passed him stil sat on that bench 🤣🙄❤️
same i live in hull (orchard park) have done for 20+ year but was born in Wakefield hospital and grew up in Pontefract until my 20's, you are right hull is no different to other city's and towns up here in Yorkshire, there is the good areas and the bad areas in every town and city problem is rather then councils dealing with it properly and getting people help they just move them around the towns and city's but always put them all in the same area giving that area a bad name, and to be fair on Orchard park its actually not that bad i have had my arguments, over kids mainly, including my own, but we all shrug it off and get along afterwards and look out for each other, there is no better community then a council estate community that's my experience since living here.
@@mjuk9621 Yes. Newspaper reports shouldn`t be seen as a substitute for statistics and Hull doesn`t do especially well here. That said, nowhere in this country (or in the developed world generally) is really that bad, it`s all largely overblown.
Hull is the greatest city in the UK. I know loads of people who moved here to study at Uni and have never left cos they love it so much. Most of us are skint but everyone is friendly, we all know our neighbours and everyone helps each other out whenever we can. We are so proud of our city. Nowhere else like it
You are definitely misrepresenting Hull and its fabulous history yes there are some rundown rough places but the people are of the majority lovely! Hull has some mainly lovely residential streets as well it’s sad that Coltman Street is so run down now as it use to be full of doctors ! I love Hull there are far worse and rougher cities than this
Hull was the first place to make Cucumbers in Dill legal...thanks to Dolly Parton and His Orchestra. I have great memories of eating Thick Cut Marmalade with a Runcible Spoon on the top of an East Yorkshire Bus as me and my Great Grandmother pulled faces at people as we drove along Angle Bee Road on our way to Parry Gun Stay shun. Ah yes, those were the Doris Day's.
Basically the UK is the opposite of how it was years ago, it was a great place to live with the odd rough area. Now it's just rough with the odd nice area, but that won't last. Eventually all the rough areas will join up and your nice places will no longer exist. Great Britain minus the great.
But other businesses can’t survive, that tells you these barbers, chippies, nail places etc are all money laundering , they only take cash.. but the corrupt politicians aren’t bothered.
I remember going to Hull as a 14 year old in 1979 on a British Rail Mystery Trip, they were brilliant, cheap as chips, once went all the way to Southampton from up in North Lancashire, Morecambe. Anyway, it was a lovely city back then before Thatcher had decimated Britain’s heavy industries and coal. I’ll bet none in Hull ever imagined in their worst nightmares that it would end up like it has!☹️
@@missmuffet3874 Exactly my thoughts. 🤣. That was the first one I was allowed off on my own to a big city. My parents got off at Bridlington, God knows why, we went there every year in the caravan!🤔😬🤣British Rail were great, they had a Europe wide ticket for young people. I remember talking to an American when all the talk of privatisation was going on, he was telling me how our train fares would go down, just like in America. Yeah right!☹️😩 Really🤣
Mat,was that on the £1.00 go any where tickets if you were under the age of 14? Me and my friends did them,went the length and breadth of the UK,good days!
@@srtoothpickit’s what they wanted isn’t it? Just all about feathering their own nests. They are beyond disgusting and have no morals or ethics whatsoever.
Arrived in Hull. No job, only £6K to live on with no job. found a great place to live, very affordable. Found a job very quickly. realised I'm in a beautiful part of the country. Close to York, Lincoln and Leeds. If you want to make a video about social deprivation target it at the rich who don't pay their fair share of taxes. Not the great city of Hull.
That poor girl who was selling herself. My heart went out to her. Hope her life improves. ❤. The old part of Hull looks interesting, some history there. xx
You're into social history, like myself miss muffet, Hull is a very interesting place, i ain't been there in a long time, but it was a great fishing place, and it was a bit like Morecambe, busy sea port, now it's broken like the rest of Britain, 💔 x.
@@missmuffet3874 it was probably back in the 90s when I went there and it was actually an alright place, maybe not anymore since they got rid of the fishing fleet, kinda like Morecambe, but like i always say most of the time it's not the place, it's the ppl, like Lancaster a beautiful place, but some awful people who live there. 💯.
Hi Billy, thanks for your vid mate. This is Britain today!. There are far too many areas in England that look rundown and are riddled with Crime, Poverty and addiction Billy. Far too many people have little or no hope!. They are just existing and drifting through the struggles of their days. Listening to the young woman who spoke about how she sells her body just to get by and how she feels unsafe, was really upsetting to hear Billy, however this is many people's lives today Billy!. This was Hull, but it's the same wherever we go today in England. We now live in desperate and sad times!. Anyway Billy, thanks again for your vid. John. 😢😔👍
Try coming up to glad for a few days and you'll see things you've never seen believe me this is nothing mate I'm Scottish back in Scotland Glasgow and I've stayed in England for 27 years a Nd I know we're the rough ov the roughest is and its nit hull ffs get s grip hull that's posh to the housing scheme in Glasgow FFS get a grip😂😂
@@StephenMcinally-gr2ucit’s not a competition mate. I’m Liverpool born and bred, I’m living in Glasgow right now. Yeah it’s rough, but it’s no worse than the average English city. Glasgow was worse maybe 20 years ago but not anymore. Even Liverpool is worse than Glasgow id say. I’ve also lived in Birmingham. Now that is ROUGH
It's always been like that. People think of "England in the old days" as a bunch of stately homes, family farms and cottages, in the woods but it's always been dark, dingy and dangerous in the cities.
I work in debt recovery and work all over the north of england , i've worked in hull a few times now , people are very friendly and trust me there a lot worse places ( Manchester, liverpool , bolton ,oldham ) to name a few.
Sperm donor, i wonder, how many he's in contact with, and deffo how many he F,ing pays for, I bet he either don't see them or he's scrounging Cider money and drugs money off them, also i wonder how many of them have followed super dad in having a shit load of kids.
I agree to a certain extent, i remember growing up in the 70s and the struggle's my parents went through and going on about, Thatcher ruining Britain and all the things she put a stop to, but I also remember when heroin hit big time in the nineties, yeah it was already around, but more underground, i started using heroin in the early nineties, and there was probably 50 addicts in my whole area, now there's probably thousands, but now it's not just heroin, it's cocaine, and freebase, i know ppl call it crack, but it isn't, but u also get ppl addicted to painkillers and other opiates, sleeping pills, and there seems to be a lot more drinkers, ppl can't afford to drink in their local pub anymore, it's cheaper to get these cheap cans of shit u could probably use instead of petrol 😆, but it's not a joke really, ✌️😎.
Sasha was filmed on Coltman Street which was once a very posh place to live, Hull's old town is pre 1950's, Hull's new town is post 1950's this is not planning or expansion Hull was the "North East Coastal Town" heavily bombed by the Luftwaffe, what remained was flatten by the council in an attempted to redesign the town on grand scale.... which never happened. The lost of the fishing industry in the 1970's the poor council, road & rail network normally means there are better opportunity's else where for people who what to get on in life so Hull remains a small town with undeveloped WW2 bomb site & surrounded by council housing....
You are misrepresenting my city. This is not typical of Hull. You have chosen to go to a few run down places m, the majority of the city is a lovely place m. But there are (like every city) some neglected areas which are often due to a minority of the community choosing drugs and alcohol and crime over hard work.
We enjoy watching your channel it's very interesting to watch different walks of life and your very good with people and kind a happy soul and it's nice to see that there is still great people in the world 😊 me and my partner watch your content when we chill at night 😊
Turn up to Hull and look at the deprived areas, every city in the country has these estates and areas. Hull is a lovely place, great marina and some nice estates. The people who live here are friendly and easily approachable
Living in and around Hull all of my life, I can’t help but feel a deep sense of frustration. We’ve all heard the promises of “leveling up,” but from where I’m standing, it’s hard to see any real change. The harsh reality is that Hull remains trapped in a cycle of deprivation, and it’s a cycle that won’t be broken as long as apologists keep saying, “It’s not as bad as it seems.” Well, it is as bad as it seems. If you live here, you see it every day-this city is being left behind, and no amount of sugarcoating can hide it. Hull’s deep-rooted problems are undeniable. We are the 4th most deprived area in England, with over 40% of our neighborhoods among the poorest in the country. Unemployment here hovers at nearly double the national average. I’ve seen firsthand the frustration of people desperate for opportunities that simply don’t exist. The businesses aren’t coming, and the economic revival isn’t happening. Instead, Hull is filled with empty shops and crumbling buildings-a daily reminder of how far we’ve fallen behind. But it’s not just the economy. Hull is plagued by a culture that too often glorifies poor behavior. It’s become acceptable to adopt antisocial habits, and some people here seem proud to be “scum.” You hear it in casual conversations, see it in the way people treat public spaces. The littering and graffiti here are the worst I’ve seen anywhere in the UK, and I’ve worked in cities up and down the country. This disregard for our surroundings only deepens the sense of decay. What makes it all so much sadder is Hull’s remarkable history. We are the city of William Wilberforce, Andrew Marvell, John Venn, and the Spiders from Mars. Hull has given the world abolitionists, poets, and innovators, yet here we are-a city that can’t seem to move forward. It feels tragic to see a place with such a proud past reduced to this. Then there’s the issue of migration into Hull’s most deprived areas. Migration has a positive impact on the UK, let’s never forget that! However, Large numbers of people are moving into neighborhoods that are already struggling. It’s a cycle-areas that are deprived continue to absorb more people with limited opportunities, making it even harder to lift the city as a whole. The lack of proper infrastructure and support only compounds the challenges, and the promised improvements never seem to materialize. Hull won’t change if we keep making excuses. Yes, we’re a city with heart, but that heart is being choked by poverty, antisocial behavior, and a lack of vision. Hull deserves better, but until we stop pretending things aren’t as bad as they really are, we’ll stay stuck in this cycle.
Too late things never get better only worse, gone to far. Should of all ways keep the country original, its a lak of strength and power no discipline and soft laws...rip uk
English people not standing up for themselves and pandering to the ethnic minorities - Ok that’s the government and if we did stand up we are called ray cist
@@bluerose-p7s Lib dem now but mostly Labour run. Orchard Park seems peaceful at that point but when i agree up you did not walk around there at night let alone daytime.
I was in Hull for a few days about 30 years ago and it reminded me of a smaller version of Liverpool.. the houses and flats and estates all looked very similar and pubs as well
Grew up on orchard all my life I've got 3 kids who have been brought up great you get good and bad in all walks of life not just council estates in fact you will find the most down to earth people on (council estates) half of the people who live round here work and provide and have a laugh and a joke it's class wouldn't change it at all love it everyone knows eachother you get good and bad days but that's life same as anywhere else ❤️💙💯👍
These are the places I was born and raised… born Hessle road, lived on Inglemire lane, Orchard Park thorps, Gypsiville and hung around all areas in between and around. I took my kids and left, and would never look back or go back.
Bing Crosby was born down Wellstead Street and his mother used to clog dance outside Langham Pictures on a Saturday afternoon to earn a couple of bob for the gas meter and the Nulon Door For Gnomes.
My dad was from Hessle road and said it was rough in the 1950s/60s, when the docks were full of Nordic fishermen and cargo ships from Asia.. Last time I visited, I thought it looked alright.
In the 50's & 60's...the day after Bomfire night on the spare ground at the back of Langham pictures, there was always the smell of pissy mattresses, smouldering away in the smokey.foggy mist after all the bangers had been let off.
I worked 10 months in the Daggerbank converterstation between Hull and Beverly and travelled from the city center to A10 everyday. So we went trough the areas north of the city and I also walked alot around hull and saw some misfortunate destinys. But still i Loved that charming small city and its ups and downs.
I hail from Hull and most of my family still live there, it’s a dump, always has been and always will be. That’s what decades of incompetent labour rule did to it. Can’t blame thatcher it’s all down to local labour politicians
In my home city Billy the area Cavill place Coltman street used to be such a great place to live but lack of money and corrupt councillors not regenerating the area plus the influx of Romians throwing shit all over like every council area in the North Billy same as Liverpool North and South divide but us northerners are the most friendliest people I love living in Hull great video Billy be safe and take care ❤👍
Coltman street used to be a very upmarket st at one time, some of the houses were owned by trawler owners and skippers, I wonder if wheeler is still down there! Or Lennox
As I child I used to walk from my grandparents house on Beaufort Close to the shops on walker / adelaide st, aged 8 or whatever I thought it was rough as fcuk, other grandparents live in 1980's council house on Constable street which was much nicer. However until I was an adult I never understood there where streets knocked down to make these new council schemes, I lived in east hull off Holderness road as child...everywhere in Hull appears to look worse year in year
Im a londoner born and raised..my mother was from hull she was proud of her roots..the orchard park estate was and still is were a lot of my relatives are living..some i have have never met- used 2 VISIT wen was young...loved orchard park estate- dont KNOW WHAT it's like now- my nana rose price had 11 kids all GOOD people my uncles and aunts- my mum has passed AWAY now bless her- good hard working woman- she met my DAD while he was working on the humber bridge- we lived london- britain has been forgotten the working classes are being made 2 look bad and ignorant and poor - the indigenous people of England are totally being forgotten- and made 2 look neanderthal like- and oversea PEOPLE ARE being told crap about working class people- been stitch up-
The country is suffering from a below replacement kevel of fertility and has to import foreigners to make up the shortfall... and you're complaining about people having children. Back in your great grandma's day 4 or 5 kids was the minimum.
I enjoyed going back to Hull Billy - felt for the girl there. That's tough - no support network. I hiked from the South of the Humber into Hull with my twin brother Paul in 2015 (attended a funeral in Barton). We knew it was rough - dossed down in the back of the King William, which was empty. As we were prepping some guy came in to pick up a stash-we piled some tables up against the wooden gates and blocked the entry. Sleeping on top of the remaining tables we had a sound sleep. My memories of the city - felt like you had to watch your back in some districts we passed through - met some decent guys in the center though - not all bad. Mark
Billy doesnt label anyone or put anyone down its a good approach , I was working in Manchester £560 a week and my boss died heart attack in the yard on a tuesday . His wife closed the company i went onto £86 job seekers Aweek benefits then i didnt turn up at job centre one week then got nothing for weeks i went down hill so fast . starving no eleci no gas nowt ,Im ok now but it happend so fast .
Love the way you talk to people suffering with addictions bill..you weren't sharing your fish n chips with no one there lol..it'll be a sad day if you ever stop making content 💚✌🏻
Love it when u do these videos,longer ones. Hull looks classic English, from my yank perspective. I hear from a lot of folks Dover is interesting place,some real characters.
@@V.T.1989 Dover is fabulous…ive been there so many times…so much to see and do in the area….fly in buy a tent and stay at hawthorn farm in the summer…
This is what needs to change, men should be forced to work and pay for the kids they are banging out all over the place! There are working families out there having to decide if they can afford a second child and people on benefits have massive families! He would never have had ten kids if he'd personally been forced to work and pay for them. What if those ten kids are being raised to believe benefits is best too? If they even have half the kids he has between them that's still 50 future benefit claimants from one family! They breed like stray cats because they are sat around doing nothing. There's plenty of unskilled work out there.
Love these videos I'm in Luton it to is a shit hole, good to see other areas and how people live and we ain't the only area going through it cheers mate
Im from hull bill , did u live here 25 year ago? The estates got flooded with brown in the 90s and absolutely destroyed hundreds of lives , never to be the same again
Do bear in mind that (especially in areas of high unemploument), anyone who works beyond retirement age is effectively denying that position to a young person who may be eager to contribute to society by working
Im from dingle but moved to ull...when i was 19....44 years ago...just about nailed it ...billy ..like most towns ..in uk...lot of out of work druggies ..grafting and getting by...same story a differant day mate ..great podcasts fella....

My son is at HULL university, I've been in HULL several times over the last few years and the places i have seen don't reassemble any of this area, this is really sad .
How did we get to this ? The same up and down the country and the poor people who have been left to rot on these estates with no future 😢 absolutely heartbreaking and not forgetting all done by the corrupt politicians and by design
I live in Sheffield and regularly visit Hull, I park up under the Humber bridge, Barton upon Humber side and walk across the bridge then along the estuary shore into Hull marina, then across the walkway into the town centre, sometimes onto Pearson Park. Always busy, bustling, vibrant, steeped in history, fantastic place, always have fish n chips as well. I normally see one person laid out on the floor on spice. One. Sheffield? The town centre, especially Fargate and High street awash with beggars, spice addicts, druggies, riff raff everywhere, a total ghetto. Give me Hull anyday 👍
it's the end of Britain as we knew it, as we enter a new era of poverty and deprivation and yet, these estates are the only places where people are still having children.
@@thesingingbowlshop cap on child benefits at two children…no help for single mothers…so no single women want to “accidentally “ have a baby these days..and end up in a “refuge” not like the old days when they could get bunked up on a one night stand then move into a nice council house collect benefits then claim an allowance off the father.. And then have more children off different men..
almost asif the council knew you was gonna turn up iv never seen hull look so tidy its a dead end town with little hope or opportunity i would have loved to bump into you for a chat and show you about abit
These people live a horrible life and they don't seen to know it, one thing my Nan was always saying was " they don't know anything nice".. its definitely true.
What a out injured people then big licks? Agree with the 30 million but certain people need to be on benefits and supported end of , loads of injured ex army lads receiving benefits should they be banned?
looks as rough as a brillo pad there bill,used to live next door to a lad from hull when i lived in bootle he used to say hull was worse than bootle and i didnt beleive him...now i do
great video billy that poor lass my heart goes out to her hope she can sort her self out been on the hard stuff my self and if it was not for the fact i chose not to be the same man as my dad i would have never got off it been around very naughty villains all my life as my dad was a fucker he's 68 now ages chills you has the life I had seems like me and my mum have been to every prison in the uk visiting it was shit man but I've been no saint my self but never been to prison i think if i had have i would have been in and out just like me dad you seem a top bloke pal keep it up billy nuff love from Sheffield.
Im from the north east and hull is a great night out but when your in the hotels you get loads of lady's of the night knocking on the doors! The estates are rough but so are all council estates around the country
Rather than diversify or re-train, after the collapse of the Fishing Industry, a huge percentage of Hullites, immediately developed bad backs, and hit the Incapacity benefit. Hull is a City with a multi-generational victim mentality. Whens things were tough in the 80s in Scotland, the Jocks 'got on their bikes' and came South for work. The Hullites just vegetated in their own misery. Orchard Park is the arse end of humanity.
Get yourself in the new town pubs all day at the weekend, youll see some proper characters. Especially in Divas ( king edward) and moderation, and all of the pubs in that area of the new town
Great video again billy , love watching your videos, a lot off truth comes your videos and people respect you , keep up the good work lad , are you a blue or red or neither.??
i was born n bred in hull m8 and nbk in the day was a beautiful city with loads of history and heritage. ive seen it of late and im glad im not there anymore it has been destroyed as has skegness scarborough, bridlington and withernsea all my local holiday haunts bk in the day. the thing i miss most is patty and chips with a bag of scraps lol... i missed it so much now i make my own traditional hull patties lmao
You need to have a look around Liverpool mate. Loads of gangs, drug dealers, thugs, shop lifters, most of them live in the Scouse council estates. Have you ever been to Liverpool ?
Do you ever wish you never did drugs Billy or do you think it molded the person you are today? and without the drugs you would not be the person you are today with your children you have now, what I noticed people who never do drugs or hang in them circles have no idea how big the underground market is and how really big the drug scene is.
Do you know what Billy. I've been watching your videos for some time now. I know I've far from watched them all. But I've not seen you address the desperation of men who've had to sell their bodies. Your videos bring back old memories for me and make me appreciate all I've escaped.
Interesting video Bill , visited Hull in 1984,the city seemed to be buzzing although it had lost alot of its traditional industry, looks hollowed out now, shame! Politicians have no interest in fixing this,to a degree they created it!
@@martinvegas1327third attempt to reply Martin,"they" obviously don't like the truth.

@@martinvegas1327Fourth attempt to reply Martin, the only people that are in it together are the political class they know what they are doing and its deliberate.
The centre is nice. The rest of the city less so. It`s been one of the poorest cities in the country for decades now, but it is better than it was. Definitely a more interesting city than most places of its size too.
That’s what I was thinking! Fair enough, when the countries as f*cked as it is, with no industries after Thatcher had her wicked way, and no new investment, it’s not his fault there’s no employment, but…….no one has to have 10 kids, especially if you can’t support them without hand outs, one or two…ok….10….🤷♂️😩
I live over in cleethorpes and drugs are bad here now with homelessness rocketing, very sad for everyone we are an ex fishing town that the council won't let you forget however we import all our fish from Indonesia, we need to start manufacturing things and selling them to the rest of the world. Bless the people of hull, must be getting worse for them too ❤
Living in London in 97/98 I worked for Moss pharmacy out of Feltham Head Office when they were the first to role out needle exchanges in pharmacies. I had to work on the Orchard Park Estate evaluating security of staff and customers in these exchanges. Thought Page Moss and Dovecote was bad but this place left them standing.

the Ye Olde Black Boy is the oldest pub in Hull (1729). We also have the smallest window in England in old town which I find interesting I love our history
Btw, the name refers to the fact it used to sell tobacco as it's based in old town and on the estuary, black boy was a stronger flavour of tobacco imported in.

The system itself doesn’t make it easy for anyone getting out of jail, especially today.
Reflect many cities in the UK
Lots of investment in Hull especially around Marina's old town area.
Hessle roads old fishing community area left neglected for decades losing its community spirit.
Really
The best parts of Hull are never shown, it has some wonderfull new private estates, homes are going up all the time. I live in the Hull postcode and it's a lovely place,. Millions has been invested in the city, it's not all bad it really isn't.
As he said, it has its good and bad parts.
I was thinking the same I live in hull they always go to the bad areas or ghost town
It does need more investment, problem is, the location, you don't really change trains etc, the journey ends there, unless you travel to donny for connections or go north.
What is the best here?
It's still grim round there, wherever you are.. It's cheaper than living down south though.
Loads of friendly people in Hull and the old town is really well kept. There are plenty of rough parts but all our cities have them. I hope that lady gets help and can make something of her life.
Friendly people for who for people from Hull or something English
Sad world we’re living in hope that girl gets a break in life ❤

Quite a few of the comments say it’s the fault of the councils but councils have been deprived of a huge chunk of their money since 2010 but are still expected to deliver the same services. I’m from Newcastle but live in Hull. It’s got really nice areas, bags of potential and lovely people but it needs jobs and money.
You’re probably the only man who’s shown that girl decency and compassion for a long time.
Ilive in hull born & bred Leeds West Yorkshire.
Hull is no worser than any other city infact terms of crime & homeless or town centre shops there is alot lot worser. Love ya positive attitude, grab the day, wonder did he. Sure just passed him stil sat on that bench 🤣🙄❤️
From Hull, lived in Leeds a while. It`s not a bad city, but it does have one of the highest crime rates in the country, no getting around it.
same i live in hull (orchard park) have done for 20+ year but was born in Wakefield hospital and grew up in Pontefract until my 20's, you are right hull is no different to other city's and towns up here in Yorkshire, there is the good areas and the bad areas in every town and city problem is rather then councils dealing with it properly and getting people help they just move them around the towns and city's but always put them all in the same area giving that area a bad name, and to be fair on Orchard park its actually not that bad i have had my arguments, over kids mainly, including my own, but we all shrug it off and get along afterwards and look out for each other, there is no better community then a council estate community that's my experience since living here.
@@ams1897 Really hull?
@@mjuk9621 Yes. Newspaper reports shouldn`t be seen as a substitute for statistics and Hull doesn`t do especially well here. That said, nowhere in this country (or in the developed world generally) is really that bad, it`s all largely overblown.
Hull is the greatest city in the UK. I know loads of people who moved here to study at Uni and have never left cos they love it so much. Most of us are skint but everyone is friendly, we all know our neighbours and everyone helps each other out whenever we can. We are so proud of our city. Nowhere else like it
Well said
Good.
You are definitely misrepresenting Hull and its fabulous history yes there are some rundown rough places but the people are of the majority lovely! Hull has some mainly lovely residential streets as well it’s sad that Coltman Street is so run down now as it use to be full of doctors ! I love Hull there are far worse and rougher cities than this
Are you from Hull you sound like
Hull was the first place to make Cucumbers in Dill legal...thanks to Dolly Parton and His Orchestra. I have great memories of eating Thick Cut Marmalade with a Runcible Spoon on the top of an East Yorkshire Bus as me and my Great Grandmother pulled faces at people as we drove along Angle Bee Road on our way to Parry Gun Stay shun. Ah yes, those were the Doris Day's.
Basically the UK is the opposite of how it was years ago, it was a great place to live with the odd rough area. Now it's just rough with the odd nice area, but that won't last. Eventually all the rough areas will join up and your nice places will no longer exist. Great Britain minus the great.
This is true
Turkish barbers everywhere. I counted 5 of them on one road the other day when I was walking through the rough end of my town.
But other businesses can’t survive, that tells you these barbers, chippies, nail places etc are all money laundering , they only take cash.. but the corrupt politicians aren’t bothered.
yeah they work with government connections so what?
Washing up money shops
Money Laundering
what they said
Love you're interactions with the people Billy 🙏
I remember going to Hull as a 14 year old in 1979 on a British Rail Mystery Trip, they were brilliant, cheap as chips, once went all the way to Southampton from up in North Lancashire, Morecambe. Anyway, it was a lovely city back then before Thatcher had decimated Britain’s heavy industries and coal. I’ll bet none in Hull ever imagined in their worst nightmares that it would end up like it has!☹️
Those BR mystery trips sounded great. Why can’t we have those days back again? 😢
@@missmuffet3874 Exactly my thoughts. 🤣. That was the first one I was allowed off on my own to a big city. My parents got off at Bridlington, God knows why, we went there every year in the caravan!🤔😬🤣British Rail were great, they had a Europe wide ticket for young people. I remember talking to an American when all the talk of privatisation was going on, he was telling me how our train fares would go down, just like in America. Yeah right!☹️😩 Really🤣
Mat,was that on the £1.00 go any where tickets if you were under the age of 14?
Me and my friends did them,went the length and breadth of the UK,good days!

Close to York, Lincoln and Leeds. If you want to make a video about social deprivation target it at the rich who don't pay their fair share of taxes. Not the great city of Hull.

You're into social history, like myself miss muffet, Hull is a very interesting place, i ain't been there in a long time, but it was a great fishing place, and it was a bit like Morecambe, busy sea port, now it's broken like the rest of Britain, 💔 x.

Hi Billy, thanks for your vid mate. This is Britain today!. There are far too many areas in England that look rundown and are riddled with Crime, Poverty and addiction Billy. Far too many people have little or no hope!. They are just existing and drifting through the struggles of their days. Listening to the young woman who spoke about how she sells her body just to get by and how she feels unsafe, was really upsetting to hear Billy, however this is many people's lives today Billy!. This was Hull, but it's the same wherever we go today in England. We now live in desperate and sad times!. Anyway Billy, thanks again for your vid. John. 😢😔👍
Try coming up to glad for a few days and you'll see things you've never seen believe me this is nothing mate I'm Scottish back in Scotland Glasgow and I've stayed in England for 27 years a Nd I know we're the rough ov the roughest is and its nit hull ffs get s grip hull that's posh to the housing scheme in Glasgow FFS get a grip😂😂
@@StephenMcinally-gr2ucit’s not a competition mate. I’m Liverpool born and bred, I’m living in Glasgow right now. Yeah it’s rough, but it’s no worse than the average English city. Glasgow was worse maybe 20 years ago but not anymore. Even Liverpool is worse than Glasgow id say. I’ve also lived in Birmingham. Now that is ROUGH
It's always been like that. People think of "England in the old days" as a bunch of stately homes, family farms and cottages, in the woods but it's always been dark, dingy and dangerous in the cities.
There are so many forgotten areas of towns like these around the UK, love the work you do in shining a light on them.
I work in debt recovery and work all over the north of england , i've worked in hull a few times now , people are very friendly and trust me there a lot worse places ( Manchester, liverpool , bolton ,oldham ) to name a few.

how can you reasonably expect people who are deprived to make good life decisions?
He was silly and forgot to wrap his willy 😂
Aww bless her 😢 broke my heart hearing what she has to go through. Ending up back on drugs as well after being 8 years clean is heart breaking
The reason for all of these problems is one thing and one thing only ...drugs ... Nothing good comes of them ...
There are reasons before drugs. They are a part of a wider problem.
And poverty alcohol
I agree to a certain extent, i remember growing up in the 70s and the struggle's my parents went through and going on about, Thatcher ruining Britain and all the things she put a stop to, but I also remember when heroin hit big time in the nineties, yeah it was already around, but more underground, i started using heroin in the early nineties, and there was probably 50 addicts in my whole area, now there's probably thousands, but now it's not just heroin, it's cocaine, and freebase, i know ppl call it crack, but it isn't, but u also get ppl addicted to painkillers and other opiates, sleeping pills, and there seems to be a lot more drinkers, ppl can't afford to drink in their local pub anymore, it's cheaper to get these cheap cans of shit u could probably use instead of petrol 😆, but it's not a joke really, ✌️😎.
And betting shops….and licker stores..and vape shops..
@@griswald7156 these are all secondary like drugs. It goes deeper than that. Look at the times.

Sasha was filmed on Coltman Street which was once a very posh place to live, Hull's old town is pre 1950's, Hull's new town is post 1950's this is not planning or expansion Hull was the "North East Coastal Town" heavily bombed by the Luftwaffe, what remained was flatten by the council in an attempted to redesign the town on grand scale.... which never happened. The lost of the fishing industry in the 1970's the poor council, road & rail network normally means there are better opportunity's else where for people who what to get on in life so Hull remains a small town with undeveloped WW2 bomb site & surrounded by council housing....
You are misrepresenting my city. This is not typical of Hull. You have chosen to go to a few run down places m, the majority of the city is a lovely place m. But there are (like every city) some neglected areas which are often due to a minority of the community choosing drugs and alcohol and crime over hard work.
Yes but he did say his visiting deprived areas. He could go to nixe parts obviously but that's not what he's doing here

Turn up to Hull and look at the deprived areas, every city in the country has these estates and areas. Hull is a lovely place, great marina and some nice estates. The people who live here are friendly and easily approachable
My 91 yo neighbour in a small country town in south east Queensland Australia grew up in Hull and lived in Charles Street with her 4 children
Living in and around Hull all of my life, I can’t help but feel a deep sense of frustration. We’ve all heard the promises of “leveling up,” but from where I’m standing, it’s hard to see any real change. The harsh reality is that Hull remains trapped in a cycle of deprivation, and it’s a cycle that won’t be broken as long as apologists keep saying, “It’s not as bad as it seems.” Well, it is as bad as it seems. If you live here, you see it every day-this city is being left behind, and no amount of sugarcoating can hide it.
Hull’s deep-rooted problems are undeniable. We are the 4th most deprived area in England, with over 40% of our neighborhoods among the poorest in the country. Unemployment here hovers at nearly double the national average. I’ve seen firsthand the frustration of people desperate for opportunities that simply don’t exist. The businesses aren’t coming, and the economic revival isn’t happening. Instead, Hull is filled with empty shops and crumbling buildings-a daily reminder of how far we’ve fallen behind.
But it’s not just the economy. Hull is plagued by a culture that too often glorifies poor behavior. It’s become acceptable to adopt antisocial habits, and some people here seem proud to be “scum.” You hear it in casual conversations, see it in the way people treat public spaces. The littering and graffiti here are the worst I’ve seen anywhere in the UK, and I’ve worked in cities up and down the country. This disregard for our surroundings only deepens the sense of decay.
What makes it all so much sadder is Hull’s remarkable history. We are the city of William Wilberforce, Andrew Marvell, John Venn, and the Spiders from Mars. Hull has given the world abolitionists, poets, and innovators, yet here we are-a city that can’t seem to move forward. It feels tragic to see a place with such a proud past reduced to this.
Then there’s the issue of migration into Hull’s most deprived areas. Migration has a positive impact on the UK, let’s never forget that! However, Large numbers of people are moving into neighborhoods that are already struggling. It’s a cycle-areas that are deprived continue to absorb more people with limited opportunities, making it even harder to lift the city as a whole. The lack of proper infrastructure and support only compounds the challenges, and the promised improvements never seem to materialize.
Hull won’t change if we keep making excuses. Yes, we’re a city with heart, but that heart is being choked by poverty, antisocial behavior, and a lack of vision. Hull deserves better, but until we stop pretending things aren’t as bad as they really are, we’ll stay stuck in this cycle.
Didn't know Hull was like this thanks Billy, it was a different place back in the day!
Broken 💔 Britain Billy, I don't know if it's fixable now. ✌️. Good un mate.
Too late things never get better only worse, gone to far. Should of all ways keep the country original, its a lak of strength and power no discipline and soft laws...rip uk

Whats any council supposed to do when people have no self respect?
I was in Hull for a few days about 30 years ago and it reminded me of a smaller version of Liverpool.. the houses and flats and estates all looked very similar and pubs as well
Grew up on orchard all my life I've got 3 kids who have been brought up great you get good and bad in all walks of life not just council estates in fact you will find the most down to earth people on (council estates) half of the people who live round here work and provide and have a laugh and a joke it's class wouldn't change it at all love it everyone knows eachother you get good and bad days but that's life same as anywhere else ❤️💙💯👍

These are the places I was born and raised… born Hessle road, lived on Inglemire lane, Orchard Park thorps, Gypsiville and hung around all areas in between and around. I took my kids and left, and would never look back or go back.
Good on you!
Bing Crosby was born down Wellstead Street and his mother used to clog dance outside Langham Pictures on a Saturday afternoon to earn a couple of bob for the gas meter and the Nulon Door For Gnomes.
My dad was from Hessle road and said it was rough in the 1950s/60s, when the docks were full of Nordic fishermen and cargo ships from Asia.. Last time I visited, I thought it looked alright.
@@alfsmith4936 At least the Ull' women were safe from the *No Dick* fishermen.

I worked 10 months in the Daggerbank converterstation between Hull and Beverly and travelled from the city center to A10 everyday. So we went trough the areas north of the city and I also walked alot around hull and saw some misfortunate destinys. But still i Loved that charming small city and its ups and downs.
I hail from Hull and most of my family still live there, it’s a dump, always has been and always will be. That’s what decades of incompetent labour rule did to it. Can’t blame thatcher it’s all down to local labour politicians

In my home city Billy the area Cavill place Coltman street used to be such a great place to live but lack of money and corrupt councillors not regenerating the area plus the influx of Romians throwing shit all over like every council area in the North Billy same as Liverpool North and South divide but us northerners are the most friendliest people I love living in Hull great video Billy be safe and take care ❤👍
Coltman street used to be a very upmarket st at one time, some of the houses were owned by trawler owners and skippers, I wonder if wheeler is still down there! Or Lennox
As I child I used to walk from my grandparents house on Beaufort Close to the shops on walker / adelaide st, aged 8 or whatever I thought it was rough as fcuk, other grandparents live in 1980's council house on Constable street which was much nicer. However until I was an adult I never understood there where streets knocked down to make these new council schemes, I lived in east hull off Holderness road as child...everywhere in Hull appears to look worse year in year

Everyone from Hull is proud of their roots I just wonder why 😂
That guy with ten kids!!
There's definitely a problem with senseless breeding in this country - the guy had too much benefits time on his hands.
You judged a man on what?
Yes that's true
Does he didn't know about condoms??
The country is suffering from a below replacement kevel of fertility and has to import foreigners to make up the shortfall... and you're complaining about people having children. Back in your great grandma's day 4 or 5 kids was the minimum.
I enjoyed going back to Hull Billy - felt for the girl there. That's tough - no support network. I hiked from the South of the Humber into Hull with my twin brother Paul in 2015 (attended a funeral in Barton). We knew it was rough - dossed down in the back of the King William, which was empty. As we were prepping some guy came in to pick up a stash-we piled some tables up against the wooden gates and blocked the entry. Sleeping on top of the remaining tables we had a sound sleep. My memories of the city - felt like you had to watch your back in some districts we passed through - met some decent guys in the center though - not all bad. Mark
This is heartbreaking lord I pray for her ❤🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Billy doesnt label anyone or put anyone down its a good approach , I was working in Manchester £560 a week and my boss died heart attack in the yard on a tuesday . His wife closed the company i went onto £86 job seekers Aweek benefits then i didnt turn up at job centre one week then got nothing for weeks i went down hill so fast . starving no eleci no gas nowt ,Im ok now but it happend so fast .

I'm all for being polite, but how has he got 10 kids. And hes sat on a bench like a grandad but hes 41. People will moan about immigrants.
for someone who does a lot of "pondering life" hes certainly been a busy boy
I want to know we’re all money is coming from .
He was lying about not been an addict also
You say that at the end like people have no right to complain about immigrants 🤡
This is what needs to change, men should be forced to work and pay for the kids they are banging out all over the place! There are working families out there having to decide if they can afford a second child and people on benefits have massive families! He would never have had ten kids if he'd personally been forced to work and pay for them. What if those ten kids are being raised to believe benefits is best too? If they even have half the kids he has between them that's still 50 future benefit claimants from one family! They breed like stray cats because they are sat around doing nothing. There's plenty of unskilled work out there.
We have bad just like them all but hull is an amazing place to live am proud to be hull born and breed ❤️

I live in Sheffield and regularly visit Hull, I park up under the Humber bridge, Barton upon Humber side and walk across the bridge then along the estuary shore into Hull marina, then across the walkway into the town centre, sometimes onto Pearson Park. Always busy, bustling, vibrant, steeped in history, fantastic place, always have fish n chips as well. I normally see one person laid out on the floor on spice. One. Sheffield? The town centre, especially Fargate and High street awash with beggars, spice addicts, druggies, riff raff everywhere, a total ghetto. Give me Hull anyday 👍

Rather than diversify or re-train, after the collapse of the Fishing Industry, a huge percentage of Hullites, immediately developed bad backs, and hit the Incapacity benefit. Hull is a City with a multi-generational victim mentality. Whens things were tough in the 80s in Scotland, the Jocks 'got on their bikes' and came South for work. The Hullites just vegetated in their own misery. Orchard Park is the arse end of humanity.
Get yourself in the new town pubs all day at the weekend, youll see some proper characters. Especially in Divas ( king edward) and moderation, and all of the pubs in that area of the new town
Great video again billy , love watching your videos, a lot off truth comes your videos and people respect you , keep up the good work lad , are you a blue or red or neither.??

You need to have a look around Liverpool mate. Loads of gangs, drug dealers, thugs, shop lifters, most of them live in the Scouse council estates. Have you ever been to Liverpool ?
Do you ever wish you never did drugs Billy or do you think it molded the person you are today? and without the drugs you would not be the person you are today with your children you have now, what I noticed people who never do drugs or hang in them circles have no idea how big the underground market is and how really big the drug scene is.
Only if you seek it out
Do you know what Billy. I've been watching your videos for some time now. I know I've far from watched them all. But I've not seen you address the desperation of men who've had to sell their bodies.
Your videos bring back old memories for me and make me appreciate all I've escaped.
To be honest I’ve never came across anyone like that who’s had the courage to talk about it.
@@theallornothingpodcastwith4442 Can't say I'm surprised. What a horrible way to have to live. Only the very brave would come forward.
Interesting video Bill , visited Hull in 1984,the city seemed to be buzzing although it had lost alot of its traditional industry, looks hollowed out now, shame!
Politicians have no interest in fixing this,to a degree they created it!
Thatcher's Britain👍
@@martinvegas1327 Thatcher,Tony B liar,it matters not, it's their club and we are not in it!
@@boyfromblackstuff7859 Everywhere's shutting down and nothing is being built to replace it all, in the South it's a different story!
@@martinvegas1327third attempt to reply Martin,"they" obviously don't like the truth.
This mess we find ourselves in is the responsibility of the political class ,who have deliberately run this country right into the ground since May 1945.
They are not running this country, they are beholden to outside influencers and powers, they are not guilty of gross incompetence and ineptitude, they know exactly what they are doing!
@@martinvegas1327Fourth attempt to reply Martin, the only people that are in it together are the political class they know what they are doing and its deliberate.
Compered to Birmingham, Manchester and Bradford. Hull looks ok.
The centre is nice. The rest of the city less so. It`s been one of the poorest cities in the country for decades now, but it is better than it was. Definitely a more interesting city than most places of its size too.
Poor Tim. Sitting on a bench pondering life, while taxpayers support his TEN kids.
😂
That’s what I was thinking! Fair enough, when the countries as f*cked as it is, with no industries after Thatcher had her wicked way, and no new investment, it’s not his fault there’s no employment, but…….no one has to have 10 kids, especially if you can’t support them without hand outs, one or two…ok….10….🤷♂️😩
😂😂😂
Never mind tories spending millions on tax payer money giveing then self 300 a day and othere stuff... rather see Tim sit on the bench
Ten Kid Tim, sitting on his arse and pondering doing nowt. Come on Tim, shake a leg mate…
I live over in cleethorpes and drugs are bad here now with homelessness rocketing, very sad for everyone we are an ex fishing town that the council won't let you forget however we import all our fish from Indonesia, we need to start manufacturing things and selling them to the rest of the world. Bless the people of hull, must be getting worse for them too ❤
Living in London in 97/98 I worked for Moss pharmacy out of Feltham Head Office when they were the first to role out needle exchanges in pharmacies. I had to work on the Orchard Park Estate evaluating security of staff and customers in these exchanges. Thought Page Moss and Dovecote was bad but this place left them standing.
