Last year, I was working full time, budgeting groceries, unable to afford date nights, and missing time with my kids. Now I learned how to make money online. Now am a SAHM, homeschooling, and making profits every week.
Wow that's awesome everyone needs more than their salary to be financial stable. The best thing to do with your money is to invest it rightly, because money left for saving always end up used with no returns.
Poverty isn't about facilities. Poverty is going to bed on an empty belly not being able to keep warm or keep the roof over your head. All too common now in UK.
This is so disgusting and annoying to me. I hold this nation at a high esteem but the downturn of events here has made me so sad. I left an even poorer clime to this blessed land but I can see how things are devolving here. Few weeks ago, I saw a young girl with her baby in a pram walk into a major shop and steal some food off the shelf. While leaving, she looked at me and I knew what happened, I was so traumatised by that. As a man, things like that traumatise me especially when little babies(angels) are involved. For her to have walked into the shop that late at night to steal broke me. The UK can do better than this. The infrastructure in Sctoland is going down so quickly and isn't replaced at the same pace of decline.
I read the many comments! I'm Hungarian. Since I was a high school student (I majored in English and Russian, at that time Russian was a compulsory language, but it was okay because it was easy and I graduated from it), but I have been angloman throughout my life. I never wanted to see Paris, I wanted England! Then I saw it, drove in and loved it! Rural England is still dear to my heart. All my life (because of science) I wrote and worked in English and I can't even read Russian, although I have no problem with the Russian language, I just can't practice it. Take care of your beautiful England and your beautiful cities! God bless you!

I’m an Italian living in Hartlepool..and I love this town..facilities are second to none..Shopping, Restaurants, Marina, History..everything that you could possibly want..and to top it all the people are amazingly friendly..
I can see Jaywick was a nice break away from London back in the day, but when times get hard, the usual thing to do, is sell the holiday home to keep you're main home. Moving from bricks n mortar to a place not supposed to be for full time living is a false economy, especially when there are very few jobs nearby. Now those few jobs can only be found even further away.
It wqs not started as a holiday place. Small plots of land were advertised just after WW1. The buyers , mainly from London flocked to buy them and built houses shacks -call them what you will- themselves. Mostly frame buildings. Bricks came later. Since then it did improve for years but has now become what it is. In the main the people are no better or worse than folks anywhere BUT since the know the area and get fed up with people knocking Jaywick.p lots are freehold, so many to the acre, and owned individually it is probably some of the most expensive development land in the county. even fi the owners would consider selling. After all it is their family homes and not all would want to leave.. Not a local but I knew the area well and get fed up with people knocking Jaywick.
If your going to state that Newport in the county of Gwent is on of the poorest places in the UK why are you showing photos of Newport in the county of Pembrokeshire. If you cant get the start of your video right then that cast doubt on the rest of the video
I doubt there's any human input in the creation of these videos. It's like an AI clickbait generator. If a person is behind this stuff, they need to seriously up their game.
Thanks for your comment. One question, Where would you go if you were to die today? Seek the Lord and saviour Jesus Christ before it's too late. John 3:16 “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” Hell is real and Heaven is also real. You don't want to spend an eternity in Hell torment without God. The only way to escape Hell is to follow Jesus Christ our Lord and saviour. Study the KJV Bible to know more and pray and seek until you find Jesus. Don't delay tomorrow might be too late. You are not promised even the next minute. Do it now
@@lordelpus2099 you know, most people who receive benefits would much rather be rich, own their own homes and smoke cigars rather than scrape by on dodgy cigs and trying to win big at the bookies (which is stupid whether you're rich or poor). Alas life is not fair so we have rich people who never have to worry about a thing, middle class who can afford to live and then the lower classes, who (most of them) have mental health issues or have been let down by parents, schooling, the government etc etc and have fallen into bad situations which are almost impossible to get out of. Trust me, I used to be homeless and on jobseekers, there is nothing worse, i would have given anything to have someone spot my potential and actually help me make something of my life. Just remember that one day you may need support too. so just be nice.

@@daneelolivaw602 Well, the idea of such aod was to help peoples who were much worse off than our poorest areas, not just to help them, but us too, by preventing their radicalisation whereby they become aa threat and enemy of the West. In truth, the real enemy is the casino-capitalisation of the West, which put me out of a job, and destroyed the communities near me, and has created haves and have nots all around the globe. And the haves are becoming monstrously powerful and rich, and laughing at the rest of us, or could not give two hoots, so long as they are alright. It became much, much worse after Thatcher, who handed the rich our infrastructures and silverware, so hard to see a way back now. I always said it would lead to WW3 between East and West, then anarchy would break out in the West too. I still think that this is how it all ends. Will we ever have a good society? After all the traumas that we face, yes, for the few left. A Kingdom of God, when the true King will appear, and lead men out of the wilderness, and unto the spiritual heights, and perfect bliss. Then, I really like happy endings!
@@PNETriffid I never promised anything, sunshine. And maybe things will get better after Britain has finished paying the fine the wonderful EU demanded we pay them for leaving their club.

The French in particular are going to love that. Fun times.
I chose to holiday in Great Yarmouth a couple of years ago after not visiting for twenty years. It had lost a bit of sparkle. There seemed to be cover shops open meaning that the shops had lemonade at the front but something dodgy going on in the back. We made new plans to travel elsewhere after a day.
I live in Wales, after holidaying here for many years, and I have been through Newport many times, and spent some time there for various reasons. I never imagined it to be any poorer than any other place. Was it a vibrant, lively, cosmopolitan hub? In all honesty, no, but I have been in far worse places in my time.
Some of your photos of Newport, Gwent are of Newport, Pembs, which is a jolly pleasant place. I was looking at the boat club and thinking, that's the Parrog, surely, so t'is. Hugh Harries is going to want to have a word with you.
I was going to mention that there are two Newports in Wales, and that it looked like some of the photos were from "Little" Newport, which I found quite charming. Sounds like you have spent more time there than me.
I am from number 10, Newport S Wales. Born at the Royal Gwent Hospital on February 28th 1987 and the place I spent my childhood, and it has gotten worse over the last two decades. The council attempted to revamp the John Frost Square some years back but shop and business exodus has continued on the high street with no let up. Shop dereliction and run down streets with crumbling Edwardian town houses goes on. I am surprised Port Talbot S Wales is not on your list, it's only purpose is the local steelworks and should be way up the list, Bridgend and Neath are good candidates too. Most of South Wales other than Cardiff is Deprived in some form, but I was born here and deprived and poor or not it is still home for me.
Iron hasn't been produced in Merthyr for over 40 years. Other than the town (which produced Iron) there's a number of ex-Coal Mining villages which includes Aberfan where in 1966 there was a devastating accident which killed 116 children and 28 adults.
I lived in Jaywick in the mid 60s and it was a great place to live. All those small roads with the prefabricated houses were always spotless and it wasn't unusual to walk down the roads and see people painting the outsides of their home or the fences. I remember too, the gardens always looked pretty. The people who lived I. Them would offer us cold drinks on hot days. We lived in Golf Green Road very close to sea front and my brother and I would walk up to the amusement arcades and help out on the bingo. The whole place, during summer, was packed, alive and very vibrant and, as a young lad, was an exciting place to live. Sadly we only stayed a couple of years before we moved. I was very surprised to look on Google earth at the sad state it is today.
@alanmac Me too Alan in the early 70’s 👍 It was as you say very clean as the folk were the working class salt of the earth, but like we were they mainly poor and it was all we could afford. The south coast properties even back then were like telephone number££££! BUT……The outside cesspit/bucket/loo was the most awful place to be first thing in the morning, especially if the 4 of us had a vindaloo the night before 😳🤣
Reminds me of the Norfolk coast where all the chalets were like this. It's rapidly being re-claimed by the sea. Had some beautiful holidays in Lessingham, Happisburgh, Corner, Overstrand!!!!!!!
@jacqueline fox I go down to Jaywick each summer to enjoy the beach . The stretch along the nature reserve is beautiful, walking towards Brightlingsea. I’m happy for everyone to think Jaywick is a dump. the less people want to go there, the better for the rest of us to enjoy.
@@monk3yboy69 When the tide comes in do those little whatever they are still sparkle in the moonlight? I don’t know what they were but the whole beach back in the 70’s was covered in them being washed in with the tide and it was a sight to behold and like being in a nature program ……probably all dead now with the sewage dumping ☹️
Yes Jay wick is very run down when I went there I could see there was a problem with poverty.Ashame really cos a walk along the beach path at night was lovely.
Though I know many people in the UK have a hard time economically. Compare this video with similar American videos, where there are abandoned buildings and gang warfare. There seems to be a big difference between American poverty and UK poverty.
I’ve seen documentaries on UK prostitution and drugs. The areas were way worse with homeless drugged people sleeping outside. I think this has been a very gracious list.
There is. This is my argument when they go on about how poor people are in the UK. We have a very very generous benefits system over here, so generous in fact that my single parent sister who worked 15hrs a week in a shop could afford botox, fillers, had a clothing allowance of £400pm & £100pw for socialising. This was after her mortgage & bill payments plus her dental care & prescriptions were free. I’ve been to America, & I’ve seen the poverty. I couldn’t believe that in a country so wealthy people were living in conditions akin to being in a 3rd world country. However with the cost of living currently it’s those NOT on benefits who are suffering. Those on benefits get taken care of generally.
I call BS! There is no such 'clothing allowance' or similar paid to anyone under the UK welfare benefits system. Mortgages are not paid, bills (ultilities, fuel etc) are also not paid for claimants. Bills must be met by the claimant from their welfare allowance from the DWP. Rent and healthcare are (mostly) covered for some claimants. I was a benefits advisor for a charity. Our benefits system is not 'very, very' generous but it is civilised for the most part and avoids people having to literally beg in the street for food. Many European countries have similar or more generous systems. Either your single parent sister had another (very intimate?) source of extra income or you are just talking utter bollocks!
@@joolsn5823 I didn’t say she was given a clothing allowance. She gave herself a clothing allowance in her budget & I don’t know what you’re implying by ‘very intimate source of extra income’ can you explain? Are you implying she was a prostitute? Wow! So you’re saying because she’s a single parent mum she must be selling herself for extra income. You need to check yourself!
Your 2nd 3rd and 6th? Photos of Newport are of Newport Pembrokeshire - not Newport Gwent. The Pembrokeshire Newport is incredibly affluent. A couple of photos are of the Yacht club, not usually a feature of poor areas.

@@camwillsmusic7153according to a highly flawed EU funded study that compares Cornwall against the much more wealthy Luxembourg and Scandinavia. There is no way on earth that it is the 2nd most deprived. The central belt in Scotland is miles more poor than Cornwall, which is full of rich retirees and lovely market towns.
My old mate dave g moved from leeds to Yarmouth in 1997 he's still there although his partner died young years ago bless her hope David and his son Connor are OK we lost touch and i need to get away from leeds so i may be heading out to great Yarmouth to see dave by the summer time
Add Southampton. Once a city you could be proud to call your home (myself included). Steeped in history, with a thriving cruise industry boosting the local economy (although you wouldn't know it if you walked up the high street). It has descended into a shadow of its former self. Beset with chronic begging and rough sleeper issues, A serious drug problem which is openly apparent - but that seems to be the blight of many places across the UK. What has happened to this once great country.
Portsmouth is the same - beyond the regenerated harbour area, it's a desolate ghost city full of boarded up shops, drug addicts and homeless people. I bet French people coming off the ferry get a real shock when they arrive!
What went wrong is when old and young started accepting wrong and abnormal to be right and normal. This is the begining, if the issues are not tackled, by the so called leaders the worst might happen. We could be seeing Britain without the Great attached to it, and this is the whole truth.
Faith and grounding are gone, therefore the fragile human psyche wonders in the dark. People need to believe in something greater then them and work with their hands as to escape their mind. Medication is not going to help with mental problems as long as people can't find their way back to their soul and purpose in life. It's sad to see the UK struggling like this, hopefully light (consciousness) will prevail.
Jaywick is pretty grim. I went there 2022. Public toilets are even trashed. Rougher locals not happy to be seen as a tourist attraction. Some fairly reasonable properties and locals to be fair though as well.
Thanks for sharing so I know what areas in the UK needs the build to make life good for all. As long as the areas are powered and got the internet connection the areas can be developed to become good places to live the good life.
In my opinion all them billionaire bigshots should take over such deprived communities/towns but all the b*st*red want to do is play silly buggers trying to get to Mars!!
Great Yarmouth was family's favourite holiday destination, loved the caravan parks. Tbh i was expecting places like Doncaster and Sunderland on this list.
Well thats really cheered us all up hasn't it ... some of this looks an old video "Woolworths / Peacocks" store signs. I remember the documentary about "Jaywick" a few years back ... yes it was run down and lacked a lot of infrastructure ... the people who lived there were struggling in life to say the least ... but they had a sense of community and helped each other out ... I remember one lady who cooked for lots of people to keep them fed ... you would not find that in many places.
That's because there were lots of older people from South London East London salt of the earth people who had been through the war Spain wasn't thought of then jaywick was so popular but them in charge let it go to rack and ruin please God one day it's finds a way back

Rubbish we are not poor York Chester Oxford Cambridge all beautiful places. I went to arles went to the waterfront and it was awful most towns have their bad spots.
I lived in jaywick for a year or so, i was in a caravan and one morning i got up to go outside and my steps had been nucked and it was nearky 3 feet drop to ground level.
I go there on a regular basis and have family living there. To lump GY as one whole deprived area is absolute nonsense. I was there 2 weeks ago, spent a whole week in a campsite near the front, and had an absolute wonderful time, walked around the different areas with much fascinating history, visited a couple of museums and galleries, ate in several decent eateries, rowed on the boating lake, had top quality coffee sitting enjoying the restored Venetian Gardens. The working age members of my family there are in work from ordinary jobs to high level ones. Some relatives receive great GP and hospital services. One problem is for them to get hold of decent trades people to do work, but as for everything else made out as an almost over whelming negative, basically it’s cods wallop. Yes there are issues, a high level of benefits claimed, obvious people with addiction issues, a cross section of “interesting” examples of the human race, but overall I would have no issues living there.
They are not most of them I fu d nothing wrong with great yarmouth. Got nice gardens on the outskirts. Some places have been renovated but it's never mentioned. Even blackpool has a great zoo within a park Stanley Park which has won awards. And is lovely with good housing nearby.sick of the criticism of britain
shame it was a nice place then Butlins was just down the road a bit and nice new bungalows in jaywick lots of entertainment coaches bringing day trippers one of grey greens best runs it was Great
I am amazed that Jaywick is so deprived. Commuting distance of London, I would have though today it would be awash with affluent commuters. How wrong can I be.
In the thumb nail of this video, they showed a place and I realised it was Jaywick. Many years ago an Uncle died who had lived in Jaywick for a few years. My husband and I went to the funeral, and we were shocked at the place (we were living in Devon at the time). It was so run down and shabby in general. So many homes there which have been cobbled together which bits and pieces. No planning permissions required. Some started out as holiday chalets and people just started building on to them to make them bigger and it seems the council didn't care at all. A lot of them were falling apart. We had to stay in the area overnight and honestly there was not one decent B&B or hotel to be had. It was just awful. We counted ourselves lucky to be living in Devon; we were in fact Londoners who had moved out of London in the 80s.
As someone who lives in Jaywick, it's not that bad, there's just no jobs, no money, no good houses, no community, nothing really. But at least it's not Clacton

Perhaps the M.P ‘s should take a tour of the neighbourhood that are sinking fast. The constituents in poor neighbourhoods deserve someone to speak up for them,

Uk has a gdp of more than 3 trillion they mostly just spend it on London,Manchester and Birmingham they should spend some more money on some poor cities
It's yet another load of cobblers article, agreed, Jaywick is terrible, but the other nine seemingly random entries? No, I strongly disagree. The vague statistics mentioned do not portray an accurate description. There are more deprived areas in the UK
The stats are one thing, but the photographs are another. Although Greenock has some of the most deprived areas in Scotland, the images you show are of the more affluent parts. House prices there can be anything north of £500k. And the imaage of burnt-out farm isn't actually in Greenock...
Totally agree and what about nearby Port Glasgow, with those lovely tenements visible from the railway line....far better images to get the message across
Well because a seaside location will have 50% less opportunity as these locations don't have 360 decrees coverage for companies so they're at the end of the road, most industry would pick a more central locat, that's part of the problem plus half of the employment would be seasonal for the summer months mainly
I agree with you, stevouk. The images shown for most of the ten places were not appropriate to the supposed deprivation of those areas. There was not enough research done on this topic.
Glasgow was voted one of the world's friendliest cities by Rough Guides in 2019 and took the number one spot in 2021. It is a warm and welcoming city with a strong community vibe thanks to its friendly and outgoing natives, or 'Weegies”, and its transport links are also second to none.

Blackpool, Haverhill, Gravesend, Workington, Wolverhampton some parts?, Wrexham, Rhyl, the list is endless. I've been living in the UK for 17 years, all over the country, I visited many places. The UK is shockingly poor almost everywhere I went. Even London has parts that are shocking. Tottenham, some part of Wood Green, some part of Walthamstow, East Ham, just to name a few.
I hail from Singapore. One of the world's richest nations. Still, there are pockets of poverty which are not so obvious to the outside eyes. But the government manages this rather well, which cannot be said the same for the UK. But, after living here for over 20 years, I always find life is richer and living in the UK much more enjoyable and interesting.

The poor areas extend well into the so-called affluent south-east of England too, where many towns supposedly leafy areas suffer poverty and deprivation and social issues
Isle of Sheppey - I live here, and have to say your report is so wrong, yes there are places that are run down, but also a lot of very, very rich people live here as well. The problem is that Swale Council could not care less frankly, our little Island has had no real investment, just money grabbing profiteers who are hoping to build as many houses as possible without investing in new schools, doctors, actually any decent infrastructure at all. The Island gets choked by excessive traffic everyday, even before all the daytrippers flood onto our blue flag beaches, and now they are proposing a cement factory with constant lorries on and off the island. Our beautiful Island with nature reserves and beaches is fast becoming a living hell, but it is still a great place to live and your derogatory assumptions are wrong, it was only last month that Sheerness was actually in the top 10 places to move to! To summarise, we are no different to any other area, we have good, and we have bad areas, but as a whole its a great Island with friendly people!
My take on the Isle of Sheppey is locals that have to work have to either travel off the island for work or have a local business or work in one of the very few remaining large establishments. But mostly to me it seems to have become a retirement area for quite a few. That does not necessarily make it a poor area but it does lack enough amenities and can be difficult to live there if you do not own a car.
That’s bollocks. The British government f&cked it’s own fishermen over decades ago and then British fishermen flogged their quotas off for a lump sum. Before brexit, 6 of the 10 poorest regions in the EU were in the U.K. Your own government f&cked you over time and again and you muppets blamed the EU. Who’s fault is it going to be from now on? Pathetic.
@Jason Creighton Brexit is a distraction so your government can keep ripping you off. The problem with you Brits is that you live in the past, always going on about WW2, the world cup, the empire and your stupid monarchy
Im surprised Birkenhead wasn't on here considering all big companies have moved elsewhere and the small businesses barley stay open for a month before shutting down and moving elsewhere. The streets are full of drug addicts, homeless, litter and more. While everyone else is living in a rented house with kids on the brink of being kicked out and also earning very little benefit money for food and bills. Most of the houses have been bordered up and sometimes used as a drug house too. There can be some nice spots but once you drive even just 5 mins out you back in the craphole Birkenhead is known to be.
There are different types of poverty, you can have a roof over your head and still be in absolute desperation to feed your children and keep warm. If you have a very sick child constantly in and out of hospital, poverty increases because you need to find the money for vital costs such as transport to and from hospital so your child can access vital treatment! 🙄
Jaywick has a high population of people with mental health issues because they have experienced trauma in their lives which they have had no control over and which the rest of us couldn't even begin to endure. They know how to form a wonderful tightknit community though - something that many affluent people have no clue about. On that perspective, they are the richest....
You forgot wythenshawe greater Manchester. The largest council estate in EUROPE. A truly horrible place. I have relatives who live there. Trust me it's bad. Worse than most of the places in your video by far. Just street view it.
Things don't have to crumble immediately, we are all watching the UK decline. I'm not British but I live here and adore it but all the signs are there, showing that things are getting worse. You can also see the government making terrible decisions that will destroy this nation quicker than expected. There's got to be some aggressive economic boom for things not to get worse. The UK must not decline to the status of my home nation. Praying for the best of the queen's land.
May human beings use their God given brains and not irresponsibly have more children than they can devote time to and provide for. Stop the cycle of generational poverty.

Gt Yarmouth is rich in Roman history and i thought it was a pleasant place to visit/holiday in. It did not seem dangerous but resembled Blackpool in Norfolk. Quite surprised.
Great Yarmouth is not poverty stricken, I assume this is just a personnel perspective and not based on facts. It is rather beautiful and a great place to vist
Jaywick was more built as a holiday park. think more like Pontins. ( which is a dump in itself). It seems to be more a place outside of London to get to the sea side. I don't think it was ever designed to be a place to live 365 days a year. but more fora week or weekend get away. seeing the videos from there many houses and streets have just had rubbish dumped everywhere instead of having it took away. the streets are narrow and now looked after. yet to get a house there is still 40k. there are too many people who will not step up and try to make the place cleaner so if falls instead and look worse every year
@@patricksmith4424 Greater London Council in the 1980s dumped their elderly poor in the town of Eastbourne, which is very hilly (my sister studied there). Not surprisingly, the sick elderly didn’t last long. Recently the London Borough of Redbridge dumped their unemployed in Canterbury, a place with no jobs for them, on what had been a military barracks site.
This is so unhelpful for people living in these areas. It could make them even more depressed. Disagree about Great Yarmouth. Yes there are areas that could e described as poor but there has been cash injection, new Marina pool, Venetian Waterway gardens which is lovely. And of course, Danny Boyle’s film Yesterday in Gorleston a few miles away. A Banksy here too.
It is easily settled . Asylums must work and pay £2 every month for the social services. The permeant residents pay 3£ every month for the services. Thae citizens pay £1 every month.

No Xmas of Catholics -Protestations- Anglicans- or Hindus- or others including LGBTG and Atheists
No, the fact that Britain is becoming a third world country should be kept quiet from everyone and they should be force fed lies about history too. Oh wait...

I have associated "poverty" with"Britain" all my life. In fact, Britain was once called the poor child of Europe. And since Brexit, it got so much poorer.
My father came from the slums of Chicago and went to work at age 6 as a newspaper boy. He died with a doctorate degree. His mother who could have left the slums stayed. Why? Because it had all her friends, church, shops. It is violence, crime, hatred that make things miserable and that can be found In Hollywood, CA. All peoples rich or poor deserve protection from predators. Poor is sometimes a value judgement. My mother lived in a mansion. I chose not to and live “middle Class” so that I can spend my life protecting those that I can help. Rich is all in what people say it is. A Kardashian life style is terrifying while a poor life with food, education, physical & mental health facilities is fulfilling. I dunno, poor is so much more than devastated.
I lived in one of the poorest parts of a town, taxi wont go after dark and pizza delivery.... Well good luck. Weird thing is when I settled there, Ive never felt safer, weird
I live in Stoke on Trent poverty is ripe mentel heath homes closed .poor get poorer rich get richer that's how governments like it keep us were they think we belong this is how is always been 4 hundred of years..
many towns in the UK are dying. there are islands of wealth like the cotswolds here and there where village life may be clinging on with a bit more vibrancy, but generally with an aging population, the closure of community services and migration of infrastructure and industry to big cities, the modern british economy is sucking the lifeblood out of all of these places. in a few generations there may be nothing left in the countryside but housing and supermarkets; as a consequence more people than ever are suffering with mental illness and addiction to hard drugs, which generates further crises of homelessness, poor health, and generational neglect/abuse. our environment has changed beyond recognition in 100 years and I think we're really struggling to cope with it.
I very much appreciate your videos. Might I suggest A 'map' graphic when a place is listed, to help us Yanks get a sense of location without pausing and going to google. I'm considering a Scotland retirement, but want to get a 'feel' of the place.
@@rudiechinchilla6746 my friend I think this video maker has a chip on his shoulder. Take a look at the trillions in London for example and its overall wealth in UK. It's just distribution is towards very rich people. One of the reasons for BREXIT was that Brits were fed up of propping up the countries you didn't mention. Their economies were in a mess and they wouldn't go to work. Fifteen years ago for example UK was full of Spanish workers. Me? I moved to the Med Sea region years ago.
I recommend that you do your research carefully...please don't go by videos such as this one...think about what you would require as time goes on...access to health centres just for an instance...Good luck in your search you will be more than welcome.
I'm sure you would be made very welcome in Scotland but for the life of you don't go to live there. Reason - the Scottish National Party is trying very hard for Scotland to achieve independence from the UK. Scotland is very highly subsidised by the UK and all that would stop. There is a strong finance industry there which makes Scotland wealthy in a few places but they would leave as would much of whatever industry is there now. Scotland really is a basket case now, kept alive by English taxpayers and all that will stop. Loosing it's major trade partner (England), loosing its' currency (UK Pound) !, the list goes on. The place will be a banana republic without he bananas to sell. DO NOT GO THERE.
My crazy dad used to feed me and my sister sugar sandwiches before bedtime. Mum had a full time job and dad worked full time and drove a taxi at night and we still struggled. Oh and I may add I grew up on a terrible council estate 4 miles from the centre of Oxford. But you never heard Oxford on theses lists as it would look bad for the city and there were many more estates all around Oxford.
Blackpool has been described as the worst in uk but far from, it has some bad areas but its undergoing a 300million+ transformation well underway, i bout 5 properties at prices so low they must be cheapest in the uk one in fornt of a park, the value has already risen so much if i told you most would say lying, Blackpool has to be the last place in the uk about to become a major tourist destination again, the cleaver inverters have already started to flock here and major food chains and entertainment Giants, Blackpool in a year or two from now will be a place with no cheap properties any more i am glad i decided to take the leep, all properties let at prices in may other areas in the uk,
I grew up in South Elmsall. No longer live there, my dad managed to break the norm for the town and got a good job and we moved to one of the villages next to Pontefract. Elmsall is a shithole, but I really miss it, and I love going back to see my primary school mates and feeling like I'm 8 again walking through the town centre 12 years later.
Falkirk is ridiculously more deprived than inverclyde…. Or anywhere within Glasgow surrounding areas. Prices for homes are expensive, it may have a few streets here or there however by absolutely no means is this place even close to deprived!!! Inverclyde is bustling with businesses
Edinburgh is the same. There are posh areas in Edinburgh, but the rest of the city is in horrible condition, in my opinion. I’ve been a few times in Cumbernauld, and for me, It’s a terrible place to live. I've heard bad stories about Motherwell.
@@JK-12378 yeah Cumbernauld is atrocious now. And Motherwell. I grew up in East Kilbride and back then it was amazing. Such a quiet place with a town that had everything you ever needed. I still love Glasgow and I always will. I honestly can’t believe Falkirk isn’t on it 😂 it has for to be one of the most shittest areas in central Scotland! I’ve not been to Edinburgh for a long time. You would think as it’s the capital they would consistently keep it revamped.
Sandwell West Midlands should be on this list the place is dire high unemployment and estates with very bad poverty and people in work are on very low pay 😭
Nope I think you'll find that the majority of the public still prefer the imperial me are in daily life. If a look took place the most likely outcome would be the return to the imperial system

Wow that's awesome everyone needs more than their salary to be financial stable. The best thing to do with your money is to invest it rightly, because money left for saving always end up used with no returns.

Poverty isn't about facilities. Poverty is going to bed on an empty belly not being able to keep warm or keep the roof over your head.
All too common now in UK.
But just look at how many of these towns vote Conservative and supported Brexit? It’s like they want to stay trapped in poverty
Shame what a 3rd world country
Maybe that's the standard they use to identify a.place is poor.
The poorest parts of the United Kingdom are England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland
This is so disgusting and annoying to me. I hold this nation at a high esteem but the downturn of events here has made me so sad. I left an even poorer clime to this blessed land but I can see how things are devolving here. Few weeks ago, I saw a young girl with her baby in a pram walk into a major shop and steal some food off the shelf. While leaving, she looked at me and I knew what happened, I was so traumatised by that. As a man, things like that traumatise me especially when little babies(angels) are involved. For her to have walked into the shop that late at night to steal broke me. The UK can do better than this. The infrastructure in Sctoland is going down so quickly and isn't replaced at the same pace of decline.
I read the many comments! I'm Hungarian. Since I was a high school student (I majored in English and Russian, at that time Russian was a compulsory language, but it was okay because it was easy and I graduated from it), but I have been angloman throughout my life. I never wanted to see Paris, I wanted England! Then I saw it, drove in and loved it! Rural England is still dear to my heart. All my life (because of science) I wrote and worked in English and I can't even read Russian, although I have no problem with the Russian language, I just can't practice it. Take care of your beautiful England and your beautiful cities! God bless you!
Yes parts of the English countryside no matter what the season is like a picture postcard. Glad you have fond memories 🙂
I'm french and I tell you, england is much more beautiful than france. Even the poorest cities in there are much more fine than in france

Also, Jaywick is not a town. It’s an old caravan park that people simply refused to leave.
It is full of drug dealers ask Russ!!
They stay because they cannot afford to move anywhere else.
@@MENSA.lady2 Same thing with the impoverished parts of North Yorkshire. Can't afford to move.
I can see Jaywick was a nice break away from London back in the day, but when times get hard, the usual thing to do, is sell the holiday home to keep you're main home.
Moving from bricks n mortar to a place not supposed to be for full time living is a false economy, especially when there are very few jobs nearby. Now those few jobs can only be found even further away.
It wqs not started as a holiday place. Small plots of land were advertised just after WW1. The buyers , mainly from London flocked to buy them and built houses shacks -call them what you will- themselves. Mostly frame buildings. Bricks came later. Since then it did improve for years but has now become what it is. In the main the people are no better or worse than folks anywhere BUT since the know the area and get fed up with people knocking Jaywick.p lots are freehold, so many to the acre, and owned individually it is probably some of the most expensive development land in the county. even fi the owners would consider selling. After all it is their family homes and not all would want to leave.. Not a local but I knew the area well and get fed up with people knocking Jaywick.
Thank you for the information about UK
Hope to see more of it in you tube.

If your going to state that Newport in the county of Gwent is on of the poorest places in the UK why are you showing photos of Newport in the county of Pembrokeshire. If you cant get the start of your video right then that cast doubt on the rest of the video
you can't mend "thick" I don't know where they get this rubbish from.
I doubt there's any human input in the creation of these videos. It's like an AI clickbait generator. If a person is behind this stuff, they need to seriously up their game.
He's doing it to provide material for another video for the "10 Most..." series. It's going to be "10 Most Half-witted TH-camrs"
Doh!!
Thanks for your comment. One question, Where would you go if you were to die today? Seek the Lord and saviour Jesus Christ before it's too late. John 3:16
“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” Hell is real and Heaven is also real. You don't want to spend an eternity in Hell torment without God. The only way to escape Hell is to follow Jesus Christ our Lord and saviour. Study the KJV Bible to know more and pray and seek until you find Jesus. Don't delay tomorrow might be too late. You are not promised even the next minute. Do it now
It's not just this selection, the whole of the UK is in terminal decline.
Except my 5 houses! All looking better than ever!
My Dole money has just gone up and the child support I get for my 7 kids comes in handy to spend down the Bookies and for me knock off ciggies.
Na not buying it John.
@@lordelpus2099 you know, most people who receive benefits would much rather be rich, own their own homes and smoke cigars rather than scrape by on dodgy cigs and trying to win big at the bookies (which is stupid whether you're rich or poor). Alas life is not fair so we have rich people who never have to worry about a thing, middle class who can afford to live and then the lower classes, who (most of them) have mental health issues or have been let down by parents, schooling, the government etc etc and have fallen into bad situations which are almost impossible to get out of. Trust me, I used to be homeless and on jobseekers, there is nothing worse, i would have given anything to have someone spot my potential and actually help me make something of my life. Just remember that one day you may need support too. so just be nice.
@@DBSUK 3 people whom I went to school with have never worked a day in their lives and have done very well out of milking the system. Tis I, who have grafted hard all my life who wears the mill stone around my neck. So don’t you tell me to be nice.

@@daneelolivaw602 Well, the idea of such aod was to help peoples who were much worse off than our poorest areas, not just to help them, but us too, by preventing their radicalisation whereby they become aa threat and enemy of the West. In truth, the real enemy is the casino-capitalisation of the West, which put me out of a job, and destroyed the communities near me, and has created haves and have nots all around the globe. And the haves are becoming monstrously powerful and rich, and laughing at the rest of us, or could not give two hoots, so long as they are alright. It became much, much worse after Thatcher, who handed the rich our infrastructures and silverware, so hard to see a way back now. I always said it would lead to WW3 between East and West, then anarchy would break out in the West too. I still think that this is how it all ends. Will we ever have a good society? After all the traumas that we face, yes, for the few left. A Kingdom of God, when the true King will appear, and lead men out of the wilderness, and unto the spiritual heights, and perfect bliss. Then, I really like happy endings!

I never promised anything, sunshine. And maybe things will get better after Britain has finished paying the fine the wonderful EU demanded we pay them for leaving their club.
And in a few years when Britain has finished paying this fine, i am looking forward to the wonderful EU having to raise taxes to cover the loss of our HUGE contribution.
The French in particular are going to love that. Fun times.
I chose to holiday in Great Yarmouth a couple of years ago after not visiting for twenty years. It had lost a bit of sparkle. There seemed to be cover shops open meaning that the shops had lemonade at the front but something dodgy going on in the back. We made new plans to travel elsewhere after a day.
Poverty is not an area or a percentage, It can happen anywhere to anyone at any time.

I live in Wales, after holidaying here for many years, and I have been through Newport many times, and spent some time there for various reasons.

I was going to mention that there are two Newports in Wales, and that it looked like some of the photos were from "Little" Newport, which I found quite charming. Sounds like you have spent more time there than me.
I am from number 10, Newport S Wales. Born at the Royal Gwent Hospital on February 28th 1987 and the place I spent my childhood, and it has gotten worse over the last two decades. The council attempted to revamp the John Frost Square some years back but shop and business exodus has continued on the high street with no let up. Shop dereliction and run down streets with crumbling Edwardian town houses goes on. I am surprised Port Talbot S Wales is not on your list, it's only purpose is the local steelworks and should be way up the list, Bridgend and Neath are good candidates too. Most of South Wales other than Cardiff is Deprived in some form, but I was born here and deprived and poor or not it is still home for me.
But still i want to move here and work here.

Iron hasn't been produced in Merthyr for over 40 years. Other than the town (which produced Iron) there's a number of ex-Coal Mining villages which includes Aberfan where in 1966 there was a devastating accident which killed 116 children and 28 adults.
True story
I woke from a nightmare hours before the aberfan disaster
I dreamt it happening before it did.
I lived in Jaywick in the mid 60s and it was a great place to live. All those small roads with the prefabricated houses were always spotless and it wasn't unusual to walk down the roads and see people painting the outsides of their home or the fences. I remember too, the gardens always looked pretty. The people who lived I. Them would offer us cold drinks on hot days. We lived in Golf Green Road very close to sea front and my brother and I would walk up to the amusement arcades and help out on the bingo. The whole place, during summer, was packed, alive and very vibrant and, as a young lad, was an exciting place to live. Sadly we only stayed a couple of years before we moved. I was very surprised to look on Google earth at the sad state it is today.
@alanmac Me too Alan in the early 70’s 👍 It was as you say very clean as the folk were the working class salt of the earth, but like we were they mainly poor and it was all we could afford. The south coast properties even back then were like telephone number££££!
BUT……The outside cesspit/bucket/loo was the most awful place to be first thing in the morning, especially if the 4 of us had a vindaloo the night before 😳🤣
Reminds me of the Norfolk coast where all the chalets were like this.
It's rapidly being re-claimed by the sea. Had some beautiful holidays in Lessingham, Happisburgh, Corner, Overstrand!!!!!!!
I went on holiday to Jaywick when I was young it was a great place then. Doesn’t have to be swish to be good.
@jacqueline fox I go down to Jaywick each summer to enjoy the beach . The stretch along the nature reserve is beautiful, walking towards Brightlingsea.
I’m happy for everyone to think Jaywick is a dump.
the less people want to go there, the better for the rest of us to enjoy.
@@monk3yboy69 When the tide comes in do those little whatever they are still sparkle in the moonlight? I don’t know what they were but the whole beach back in the 70’s was covered in them being washed in with the tide and it was a sight to behold and like being in a nature program ……probably all dead now with the sewage dumping ☹️
Yes Jay wick is very run down when I went there I could see there was a problem with poverty.Ashame really cos a walk along the beach path at night was lovely.
Though I know many people in the UK have a hard time economically. Compare this video with similar American videos, where there are abandoned buildings and gang warfare. There seems to be a big difference between American poverty and UK poverty.
I’ve seen documentaries on UK prostitution and drugs. The areas were way worse with homeless drugged people sleeping outside. I think this has been a very gracious list.
There is. This is my argument when they go on about how poor people are in the UK. We have a very very generous benefits system over here, so generous in fact that my single parent sister who worked 15hrs a week in a shop could afford botox, fillers, had a clothing allowance of £400pm & £100pw for socialising. This was after her mortgage & bill payments plus her dental care & prescriptions were free.
I’ve been to America, & I’ve seen the poverty. I couldn’t believe that in a country so wealthy people were living in conditions akin to being in a 3rd world country.
However with the cost of living currently it’s those NOT on benefits who are suffering. Those on benefits get taken care of generally.
I call BS! There is no such 'clothing allowance' or similar paid to anyone under the UK welfare benefits system. Mortgages are not paid, bills (ultilities, fuel etc) are also not paid for claimants. Bills must be met by the claimant from their welfare allowance from the DWP. Rent and healthcare are (mostly) covered for some claimants.
I was a benefits advisor for a charity. Our benefits system is not 'very, very' generous but it is civilised for the most part and avoids people having to literally beg in the street for food. Many European countries have similar or more generous systems.
Either your single parent sister had another (very intimate?) source of extra income or you are just talking utter bollocks!
@@joolsn5823 I didn’t say she was given a clothing allowance. She gave herself a clothing allowance in her budget & I don’t know what you’re implying by ‘very intimate source of extra income’ can you explain?
Are you implying she was a prostitute?
Wow! So you’re saying because she’s a single parent mum she must be selling herself for extra income.
You need to check yourself!
Sorry for laughing at you.
Your 2nd 3rd and 6th? Photos of Newport are of Newport Pembrokeshire - not Newport Gwent. The Pembrokeshire Newport is incredibly affluent. A couple of photos are of the Yacht club, not usually a feature of poor areas.

Add Southampton. Once a city you could be proud to call your home (myself included). Steeped in history, with a thriving cruise industry boosting the local economy (although you wouldn't know it if you walked up the high street). It has descended into a shadow of its former self. Beset with chronic begging and rough sleeper issues, A serious drug problem which is openly apparent - but that seems to be the blight of many places across the UK. What has happened to this once great country.
Portsmouth is the same - beyond the regenerated harbour area, it's a desolate ghost city full of boarded up shops, drug addicts and homeless people. I bet French people coming off the ferry get a real shock when they arrive!
What went wrong is when old and young started accepting wrong and abnormal to be right and normal. This is the begining, if the issues are not tackled, by the so called leaders the worst might happen. We could be seeing Britain without the Great attached to it, and this is the whole truth.
Faith and grounding are gone, therefore the fragile human psyche wonders in the dark. People need to believe in something greater then them and work with their hands as to escape their mind. Medication is not going to help with mental problems as long as people can't find their way back to their soul and purpose in life. It's sad to see the UK struggling like this, hopefully light (consciousness) will prevail.
The music in the background is disturbing. I could not watch the video, sorry.
I love it
Jaywick is pretty grim. I went there 2022. Public toilets are even trashed. Rougher locals not happy to be seen as a tourist attraction. Some fairly reasonable properties and locals to be fair though as well.
Thanks for sharing so I know what areas in the UK needs the build to make life good for all. As long as the areas are powered and got the internet connection the areas can be developed to become good places to live the good life.
In my opinion all them billionaire bigshots should take over such deprived communities/towns but all the b*st*red want to do is play silly buggers trying to get to Mars!!
Great Yarmouth was family's favourite holiday destination, loved the caravan parks. Tbh i was expecting places like Doncaster and Sunderland on this list.
Well thats really cheered us all up hasn't it ... some of this looks an old video "Woolworths / Peacocks" store signs.
I remember the documentary about "Jaywick" a few years back ... yes it was run down and lacked a lot of infrastructure ... the people who lived there were struggling in life to say the least ... but they had a sense of community and helped each other out ... I remember one lady who cooked for lots of people to keep them fed ... you would not find that in many places.
That's because there were lots of older people from South London East London salt of the earth people who had been through the war Spain wasn't thought of then jaywick was so popular but them in charge let it go to rack and ruin please God one day it's finds a way back

I lived in jaywick for a year or so, i was in a caravan and one morning i got up to go outside and my steps had been nucked and it was nearky 3 feet drop to ground level.
Love to go to Great Yarmouth in the summer time, can't believe it's top 3!
I go there on a regular basis and have family living there. To lump GY as one whole deprived area is absolute nonsense. I was there 2 weeks ago, spent a whole week in a campsite near the front, and had an absolute wonderful time, walked around the different areas with much fascinating history, visited a couple of museums and galleries, ate in several decent eateries, rowed on the boating lake, had top quality coffee sitting enjoying the restored Venetian Gardens. The working age members of my family there are in work from ordinary jobs to high level ones. Some relatives receive great GP and hospital services.
One problem is for them to get hold of decent trades people to do work, but as for everything else made out as an almost over whelming negative, basically it’s cods wallop. Yes there are issues, a high level of benefits claimed, obvious people with addiction issues, a cross section of “interesting” examples of the human race, but overall I would have no issues living there.
GY is a toilet, 💯 grim.

I think Port Talbot S Wales is up there, really surprised it's not on the list.
Most of the people in jaywick are dole and drinkers that's why it's poor
In the thumb nail of this video, they showed a place and I realised it was Jaywick. Many years ago an Uncle died who had lived in Jaywick for a few years. My husband and I went to the funeral, and we were shocked at the place (we were living in Devon at the time). It was so run down and shabby in general. So many homes there which have been cobbled together which bits and pieces. No planning permissions required. Some started out as holiday chalets and people just started building on to them to make them bigger and it seems the council didn't care at all. A lot of them were falling apart. We had to stay in the area overnight and honestly there was not one decent B&B or hotel to be had. It was just awful. We counted ourselves lucky to be living in Devon; we were in fact Londoners who had moved out of London in the 80s.
As someone who lives in Jaywick, it's not that bad, there's just no jobs, no money, no good houses, no community, nothing really.

It's yet another load of cobblers article, agreed, Jaywick is terrible, but the other nine seemingly random entries? No, I strongly disagree. The vague statistics mentioned do not portray an accurate description. There are more deprived areas in the UK
But its based on quantitative measures and thus must be right. Facts are facts
So what are the 10 poorest?
The stats are one thing, but the photographs are another. Although Greenock has some of the most deprived areas in Scotland, the images you show are of the more affluent parts. House prices there can be anything north of £500k. And the imaage of burnt-out farm isn't actually in Greenock...
Totally agree and what about nearby Port Glasgow, with those lovely tenements visible from the railway line....far better images to get the message across
Well because a seaside location will have 50% less opportunity as these locations don't have 360 decrees coverage for companies so they're at the end of the road, most industry would pick a more central locat, that's part of the problem plus half of the employment would be seasonal for the summer months mainly
Greenock is actually surprisingly nice
I agree with you, stevouk. The images shown for most of the ten places were not appropriate to the supposed deprivation of those areas. There was not enough research done on this topic.
Talking about deprivation while showing the Esplanade 😂
I assumed Jaywick was a brand of lavatory cleaner until I saw all of those lovely documentaries 💕
Glasgow was voted one of the world's friendliest cities by Rough Guides in 2019 and took the number one spot in 2021. It is a warm and welcoming city with a strong community vibe thanks to its friendly and outgoing natives, or 'Weegies”, and its transport links are also second to none.
It’s a dirty city these days.

Good information
Blackpool, Haverhill, Gravesend, Workington, Wolverhampton some parts?, Wrexham, Rhyl, the list is endless.
I've been living in the UK for 17 years, all over the country, I visited many places. The UK is shockingly poor almost everywhere I went. Even London has parts that are shocking. Tottenham, some part of Wood Green, some part of Walthamstow, East Ham, just to name a few.
Weird to see you all town of Haverhill mentioned 😂😂many have never even heard of it! Yes, it's poor. Bury gets everything. 😢
Rhyl? Really?
I hail from Singapore. One of the world's richest nations. Still, there are pockets of poverty which are not so obvious to the outside eyes. But the government manages this rather well, which cannot be said the same for the UK. But, after living here for over 20 years, I always find life is richer and living in the UK much more enjoyable and interesting.
I think they just stuck random pins in a map. I can think of at least 10 places near Halton that are worse.
Not 1 person mentioned the big elephant in the room. All the millions spent on the mornachy...🤔 & these areas can't be improved. Makes no sense. What a SHAME...
Perhaps local councils have a part to play to improve life, such as setting up a training centre/college for foreign students.

Is there reason why you are talking in Km's @learningcanteen? We have miles in GB. Km in france.

Huge importance depends on local Council as i live in a town where it feels the most!

Hi Kathleen how are you. Greetings from Ireland. I feel for people who are having a hard time with high costs for heating and food. I wish you a good week and stay safe 😊🙏 Michael
The poor areas extend well into the so-called affluent south-east of England too, where many towns supposedly leafy areas suffer poverty and deprivation and social issues
They mention Merthyr, its not just Merthyr its most of the Rhondda and throughout the valleys that is poor
A lot of poverty in the UK including London!
Oh poverty in every country
There is a limit to the number of immigrants a country can take before the fabric of society rips apart.
Isle of Sheppey - I live here, and have to say your report is so wrong, yes there are places that are run down, but also a lot of very, very rich people live here as well. The problem is that Swale Council could not care less frankly, our little Island has had no real investment, just money grabbing profiteers who are hoping to build as many houses as possible without investing in new schools, doctors, actually any decent infrastructure at all. The Island gets choked by excessive traffic everyday, even before all the daytrippers flood onto our blue flag beaches, and now they are proposing a cement factory with constant lorries on and off the island. Our beautiful Island with nature reserves and beaches is fast becoming a living hell, but it is still a great place to live and your derogatory assumptions are wrong, it was only last month that Sheerness was actually in the top 10 places to move to! To summarise, we are no different to any other area, we have good, and we have bad areas, but as a whole its a great Island with friendly people!
Sorry to disagree with you , but sheppy is a dump , just like most of north Kent and Medway towns .
My take on the Isle of Sheppey is locals that have to work have to either travel off the island for work or have a local business or work in one of the very few remaining large establishments. But mostly to me it seems to have become a retirement area for quite a few. That does not necessarily make it a poor area but it does lack enough amenities and can be difficult to live there if you do not own a car.
Great Yarmouth is a pure example of the EU policies over fishing it would have thrived before the fishing wars should be shown to France and the Eu.
That’s bollocks. The British government f&cked it’s own fishermen over decades ago and then British fishermen flogged their quotas off for a lump sum. Before brexit, 6 of the 10 poorest regions in the EU were in the U.K. Your own government f&cked you over time and again and you muppets blamed the EU. Who’s fault is it going to be from now on? Pathetic.

Wow Amazing simple life❤❤❤
Im surprised Birkenhead wasn't on here considering all big companies have moved elsewhere and the small businesses barley stay open for a month before shutting down and moving elsewhere. The streets are full of drug addicts, homeless, litter and more. While everyone else is living in a rented house with kids on the brink of being kicked out and also earning very little benefit money for food and bills. Most of the houses have been bordered up and sometimes used as a drug house too.
There can be some nice spots but once you drive even just 5 mins out you back in the craphole Birkenhead is known to be.
You don't earn benefit money.
London is beautiful but lonely for many. There is so much to do. I enjoy it more in the evenings when I shoot my TH-cam videos
For a place to be poorest, you should see homeless shelters and people living on the streets.
There are different types of poverty, you can have a roof over your head and still be in absolute desperation to feed your children and keep warm. If you have a very sick child constantly in and out of hospital, poverty increases because you need to find the money for vital costs such as transport to and from hospital so your child can access vital treatment! 🙄
Jaywick has a high population of people with mental health issues because they have experienced trauma in their lives which they have had no control over and which the rest of us couldn't even begin to endure. They know how to form a wonderful tightknit community though - something that many affluent people have no clue about. On that perspective, they are the richest....
It is such a generous and kind place to go for a break ....l love it !
Spot on . ❤️💯❤️💯❤️
What happened to the people in Jaywick?
You forgot wythenshawe greater Manchester.
The largest council estate in EUROPE.
A truly horrible place.
I have relatives who live there.
Trust me it's bad.
Worse than most of the places in your video by far.
Just street view it.

Things don't have to crumble immediately, we are all watching the UK decline. I'm not British but I live here and adore it but all the signs are there, showing that things are getting worse. You can also see the government making terrible decisions that will destroy this nation quicker than expected. There's got to be some aggressive economic boom for things not to get worse. The UK must not decline to the status of my home nation. Praying for the best of the queen's land.

Gt Yarmouth is rich in Roman history and i thought it was a pleasant place to visit/holiday in. It did not seem dangerous but resembled Blackpool in Norfolk. Quite surprised.

Jaywick was built as an early beach resort. London councils dumped their junkies there. Places within a couple of miles are wealthy.
Nice one - beach resort. I rather go for holidays to Rwanda.
@@jerryorange6983 As I said, early. 1920s. Many of the roads in Jaywick are named after old racing car brands.
Jaywick was more built as a holiday park. think more like Pontins. ( which is a dump in itself).
It seems to be more a place outside of London to get to the sea side. I don't think it was ever designed to be a place to live 365 days a year. but more fora week or weekend get away.
seeing the videos from there many houses and streets have just had rubbish dumped everywhere instead of having it took away.
the streets are narrow and now looked after.
yet to get a house there is still 40k. there are too many people who will not step up and try to make the place cleaner so if falls instead and look worse every year
Wonderful turn of phrase, "London councils dumped their junkies there"!
@@patricksmith4424 Greater London Council in the 1980s dumped their elderly poor in the town of Eastbourne, which is very hilly (my sister studied there). Not surprisingly, the sick elderly didn’t last long. Recently the London Borough of Redbridge dumped their unemployed in Canterbury, a place with no jobs for them, on what had been a military barracks site.
This is so unhelpful for people living in these areas. It could make them even more depressed. Disagree about Great Yarmouth. Yes there are areas that could e described as poor but there has been cash injection, new Marina pool, Venetian Waterway gardens which is lovely. And of course, Danny Boyle’s film Yesterday in Gorleston a few miles away. A Banksy here too.
But it's true! So....
It is easily settled . Asylums must work and pay £2 every month for the social services. The permeant residents pay 3£ every month for the services. Thae citizens pay £1 every month. Unless they move to these undeveloped areas and make it a success. No discrimination from day one as to Muslims -Safi or Shites . No Xmas of Catholics -Protestations- Anglicans- or Hindus- or others including LGBTG and Atheists
No, the fact that Britain is becoming a third world country should be kept quiet from everyone and they should be force fed lies about history too.

Have you covered the whole of the UK to come up with these ten? Have a look at West Cumbria, Workington, Whitehaven and surrounding areas are either the poorest or worse places to live in the UK.
God yes. And you didn't even mention Barrow!
@Ian Livesey I visited Barrow last Sept and found it bad with rubbish in the streets, plus dog dirt. Places in West Cumbria are far worse, with the locals being absolutely horrible to themselves and outsiders. Small towns, small-minded bigots. That is putting it very politely.

Just visited London from the other side of the pond. London was vibrant, diverse, cultured, historical, and seemingly rich. My wife said we should even consider moving there. I would've never guessed there was such sad places so near.

London is a big town. Walk around Hounslow or Battersea at night...made me wish my concealed carry permit extended to England. It was still cool as hell though!
I have associated "poverty" with"Britain" all my life. In fact, Britain was once called the poor child of Europe. And since Brexit, it got so much poorer.
Sixth biggest economy in the world, second biggest in Europe. So not that poor.
My father came from the slums of Chicago and went to work at age 6 as a newspaper boy. He died with a doctorate degree. His mother who could have left the slums stayed. Why? Because it had all her friends, church, shops. It is violence, crime, hatred that make things miserable and that can be found In Hollywood, CA. All peoples rich or poor deserve protection from predators. Poor is sometimes a value judgement. My mother lived in a mansion. I chose not to and live “middle Class” so that I can spend my life protecting those that I can help. Rich is all in what people say it is. A Kardashian life style is terrifying while a poor life with food, education, physical & mental health facilities is fulfilling. I dunno, poor is so much more than devastated.
I lived in one of the poorest parts of a town, taxi wont go after dark and pizza delivery.... Well good luck. Weird thing is when I settled there, Ive never felt safer, weird

many towns in the UK are dying. there are islands of wealth like the cotswolds here and there where village life may be clinging on with a bit more vibrancy, but generally with an aging population, the closure of community services and migration of infrastructure and industry to big cities, the modern british economy is sucking the lifeblood out of all of these places. in a few generations there may be nothing left in the countryside but housing and supermarkets; as a consequence more people than ever are suffering with mental illness and addiction to hard drugs, which generates further crises of homelessness, poor health, and generational neglect/abuse. our environment has changed beyond recognition in 100 years and I think we're really struggling to cope with it.
I very much appreciate your videos. Might I suggest A 'map' graphic when a place is listed, to help us Yanks get a sense of location without pausing and going to google. I'm considering a Scotland retirement, but want to get a 'feel' of the place.

@@rudiechinchilla6746 my friend I think this video maker has a chip on his shoulder. Take a look at the trillions in London for example and its overall wealth in UK. It's just distribution is towards very rich people. One of the reasons for BREXIT was that Brits were fed up of propping up the countries you didn't mention. Their economies were in a mess and they wouldn't go to work.
Fifteen years ago for example UK was full of Spanish workers.

I'm sure you would be made very welcome in Scotland but for the life of you don't go to live there. Reason - the Scottish National Party is trying very hard for Scotland to achieve independence from the UK. Scotland is very highly subsidised by the UK and all that would stop. There is a strong finance industry there which makes Scotland wealthy in a few places but they would leave as would much of whatever industry is there now. Scotland really is a basket case now, kept alive by English taxpayers and all that will stop. Loosing it's major trade partner (England), loosing its' currency (UK Pound) !, the list goes on. The place will be a banana republic without he bananas to sell. DO NOT GO THERE.

Edinburgh is the same. There are posh areas in Edinburgh, but the rest of the city is in horrible condition, in my opinion. I’ve been a few times in Cumbernauld, and for me, It’s a terrible place to live. I've heard bad stories about Motherwell.
