- Forgotten by the Crown poverty in UK | ENDEVR Documentary
Watch 'Work Hard to Survive' here: • Work Hard to Survive -...
It’s the great English paradox. If the country has a historically low unemployment rate of 3.6%, poverty is breaking all records: today, more than 15 million Britons are considered poor… That’s almost a quarter of the population!
Galloping inflation and the explosion of energy costs in recent months and forced millions into poverty. But there is also the hyper-flexibility of wages and the growing uberization of hundreds of thousands of self-employed people… All aggravated by more than 10 years of severe cuts in social assistance initiated under the government of David Cameron and a disengagement of the State in the public services…
As a result, the United Kingdom, which had only a few dozen food banks in 2010, now has more than 2,000… Life expectancy is stagnating, even declining in the most disadvantaged regions where people die 10 years earlier sooner than elsewhere, victim of what is known as “s*** life syndrome”, literally the s***ty life syndrome: a deadly cocktail of multiple pathologies and addictions.
So, millions of Britons engage in voluntary work to make up for the shortcomings of the government. This is the advent of the “Big Society”, a society of charities, charities, theorized in 2010 by the then Prime Minister: David Cameron, the architect of the austerity policy!
We went to meet England’s working poor, the working poor, all forced to rely on solidarity to survive. From Blackpool, a seaside town in the north-west plagued by poverty, to the green county of Cumbria on the Scottish border, one of the most rural in the country, where public transport and services have become almost non-existent, via Ashton -under-Lyne, a factory town paralyzed by the absence of economic prospects, plunged into a Great Britain.

Meanwhile, energy companies see record profits.
Every pound of profit is a pound a Brit didn't get to spend on a meat pastie.
This Pizzeria fellow deserves a medal of honor. To work a shift for free to help feed the community.
He is going to heaven. He has an amazing ability to convince those whom have money to invest in paying for pizzas 🍕 for the homeless and abject poor.
Medal of honor for working a shift for free ?
I guess you have no idea how much of their time and or money many give daily in this world. Poor and rich
@@helenachase5627 He does this weekly, when he could be operating for profit. In a greedy world that is borderline heroic.
wonderful fellow
@@mb9326 that is so true. They say men of genius are admired, men of wealth are envied, men of power are feared; but only men of character are trusted.
UK has money for Israel and Ukraine but not for their own people
The money is for their "own" people. Their fellow wealthy elitists.
America same issue
The same in US sad that taxes just simply go to corruption or war just imagine what can those money do if it goes to those who's in need
@@levihope9620 well they say it's democracy but normal people can't do anything about it :(
Well said!
The royalty must be abolished. It is out of date. And their all property must be given to British people.
Most of the property already belongs to the state actually
You mean give back everything they stole? That would be great!
👍
@@marleneclough3173and??
I agree
We have to stop calling it “inflation” and call it what it is - Price Gouging.
It's the government issuing too much debt lol. Spending tax-payers' money from the future unconsensually. Literally theft
printing billions and fuch the people 😢😢😢
It started with Thatcher and Reagan. She said that social support should be done by charities. The experiment has miserably failed. Some of us knew this over 40 years ago.
You know that justice system has failed and become corrupted,when criminals like Tacher and Blair didn't get life sentence.
it started with money spend on wars...
I remember seeing the emergence of homeless seniors and young families during the Thatcher years.
OMG you are so spot on!!!!! They helped usher in they great lie!
No money to Royal family too,they need work
Abby and Mark are angels on earth. The tears haven't stopped since they first came on screen. Bless them.
Mark was a violent criminal who's now changed to help people. Not an angel or whatever ethereal. Probably a guy who's hoping that the almighty figure of god in which many people believe will forgive him his past days. But be it so, he's doing well.
Glad the people are complaining The monarchy don’t care about the people they’re doing the same thing in the USA
GREED MUST BE STOPPED.
Remember: "greed is good" Micheal Douglas 😁

😞big tears our bread n butter financiers who loan our fiat currency value, suffer the absence of funds and gold backed. this documentary doesn't cover the U's very much. well I guess it's not safe to go pointing fingers at where the money went. USA starts in a deficit but Europe ? and America's? and Great Britton? {where my "Tre" maiden name and my gma Summerset hails from} not every country starts in a deficit.
it says FIAT and won't change fist to fiat
Same in the USA
All this is the result of several decades of institutionalized stupidity, unlimited public spending, high taxes and total administrative incompetence, in addition, reduction of the well-prepared active population. the government collects taxes and owes debts to maintain a welfare state that does not work or rather works like a broken machine.
Solidarity doesn't have to just be a tool of survival. It is the only tool of liberation the poor have
How's Charles going to help people with their energy bills? Sell one of his castles? He's surrounded by opulence, decadence, unnecessary pomp, that he didn't work for, talking about helping people with the cost of energy. That's nice of him.
Actually his nutty ideas about net-zero, renewable energy, etc is actually making energy bills even MORE unaffordable.
He is actively hurting his so-called subjects.
He did not even write that speech😂
If Charles sold evert asset, it would be a drop in the bucket compared to the Covid contract corruption and money hidden in offshore tax haven company accounts.
gave himself a 43 million pound a year raise too.
He’s never been poor; he’s never been hungry. Someone like that can’t relate to someone who is struggling!
Thanks so much for posting
3500 pound a month for 2 highly educated workers? You must be kidding. That's like 1 person's rather low pay in Australia
Neither of the jobs technically require any specific education. Well, executive usually do require something in business but given the low pay.... I'm not sure if it's the type of executive that we are think of, might more like a manager level stuff which may or may not require anything.
australia minimum wage is significantly more than the uk and the us. it also costs a lot more to live in australia
Australians cannot afford homes either.
That would be two lower middle-class incomes here in Canada, definitely higher than minimum wage though
I think that's only the dad's because the mom was on maternity leave, which ended, and now isn't working at all. That makes more sense
My mom died in 2020, from Cervical and Uterine Cancer.
There was times I remembered worrying we’d have money for groceries, but if a Neighbors house burned, or a Widow’s son was imprisoned, they were both at the table, mom and dad trying to figure out how much they could give without robbing from our mouths, my brother and I.
She raised me, and I am a Humanitarian and Missionary Worker 6mos/6mos a year.
I miss her everyday.
She sounds like a compassionate and kind person. Sorry for your loss
I never knew you mum. But I miss her more than I'll ever miss the queen.
Love the solidarity meal. Paying it forward. What a blessing to this community.
The crown never cared about the working class
same thing has happened in Australia 🇦🇺 we should be coming out to the street too ...gas bill is a rip-off
Nz here. Received my 'first winter bill' after Jacinda and Co destroyed the energy sector. Double. Plus threats of black out this winter😢
"He was 4 1/2 Stone when he died," 63 American pounds, 28 1/2 kilograms.
That's wild...
I had to check it twice! I thought it was a mistake
He staved so Phillip could grow sausage fingers
In Australia a man with schizophrenia died of starvation because his ndis support got cut off because they sent him letters to be assessed and he couldn't reply because of his mental health. I don't have family to take care of me and if they do that to me I won't have any hope of surviving.
Everyone is volunteering why are people not revolting. They're literally making us work for free to help the people they won't - they have all the money. And they're going to keep taking more for the corporations.
If the volunteers are doing all this work, why exactly should the government exist? Seems like we'd get along fine without the ghouls in parliament.
Dude shouldn't be disappointed he steals electricity. That's the intended affect of capitalism.
Dude. The kitchen will heat itself. Keep the heat on where the baby is. At least thats how we do it in America.
This is a joke right? During cold Chicago winters I remember dozens dying each winter from trying this approach.
@@The_ZeroLine no? A lot of people end up heating their homes with their ovens. Most of those deaths come from low key monoxide poisoning. If you have a functioning radiator system that you can only afford for one area it needs to be the bedroom of the baby. The family member most susceptible to cold and monoxide.
You don't think they know that already?
@@johnwright9372 considering the first comment and they said they turn off the heat in the living area to heat the kitchen when they use it... no?
That’s what I was thinking when she said she was turning on the heat in the kitchen…I was thinking what for, when the heat from cooking would do the trick!
I live in texas - we had one months electric bill this winter that was $800 out of nowhere no reason and the delivery charges from the state were $285. Im a nurse with a 1500 sq ft home nothing big or extravegant quite humble actually..
I live in a 1500 sq ft condo one mile from the ocean in Florida, my electricity last month was only $123.00
Same thing has happened to all of us here in northern Queensland, Australia. Electricity bill of $1000 for 3 months all of a sudden - up 40 percent and people are having a fit. Couldnt believe that they made that poor man pre pay for his electricity and just cut it off in a freezing cold place. Its inhumane. This unmitigated greed is not being regulated and pollies are working for corporate greed. Its corrupt, and has got to end.
I live in Wisconsin and the electricity last month was $280, it was even more when it was the dead of winter
@eurekaelephant2714 same with NZ. These leftist energy policies have made our lives worse. There was even a threat of power blackout last week, and winter hasn't even started 😢
The more there is , the more some use and ruin it for the more poor . It's sad but true.
The poor don't matter. In USA and all over .
It's all the same, just a different picture.
No, it's not right. 😢
The utilities company holding the poor prisoners!😢
Energy is more expensive because of the Ukraine war and the loss of Russian oil and gas. And the government's idiotic net-zero policies aren't helping. Also, after the utility companies go broke (if customers stop paying their bills), what will people do to keep warm?
@@glynnec2008And, Brexits!
Liberals and greens policies are to blame 😢
No empty seats at the gambling casinos, pubs are full. People still smoking and drinking.
So many Documentaries and personal stories don't want to address that even though it's so true. Time and time again as soon as people have a bit of money, most spend it on living above their means and keep having kids...
So what redneck
@@AA-iy4gmso keeping people poor is the answer?
Cheaper to pay a single drink in a warm pub than heat your home.
I have a friend I went uni with. She is a published poet and a university professor at the same uni that we went. She can barely keep her head above water and she has always been frugal. Just sad
Bless all the people working so hard for the community ☕☺️
Thank you to all that helps out!
the fact that parliament is gated and heavily guarded says a LOT about what the people inside those gates know full well what their decisions are doing to the people outside of those gates.
If they were making decisions that benefit the people, and we don't ask much we don't want to be like they are , they wouldn't have to have bars and guards outside of parliament.
They assume that everyone wants to live on the same level they do and that if they give us one inch we will then "steal" 10 million miles from them. They can not possibly understand that this isn't the case.
They can only assume that everyone wants the exact same standard of living that they have, and they aren't willing to allow that to happen.
they don't understand that people just want a roof and food and a fairly decent standard of living in order to continue working.
It truly seems to me that the British government and hierarchy are actively trying to suicide their own country, like they are actively trying to destroy their own nation.
It doesn't just appear this way it must be this way. It's so difficult to understand why.
That's nonsense. Even if they are doing everything right(which I by no means am saying they are), there are crazies, of the literal or figurative sort. Any entity of sufficient prominence, such that an attack is likely to generate high degree of infamy, will unfortunately require protection. Free media made sure of that.
Hedonistic treadmill says that most people will constantly want more, but it tend to be a rather slow creep. So no, people will not want "10 million miles" from them, but always one more inch. I don't think they are doing enough, but it's also not always so simple and clear cut as you think it is.
It’s very obvious that the system cares so little about the bottom 30% of the society.. it’s really every man for himself. I imagine the degree of suffering that’s likely to ensue with the world war in view and the resulting economic recession.
I am from South Africa i always respect th Brits but hearing this and watching this video i am shocked that the country could be in trouble
They no longer have access to stealing other ppl’s wealth.
Yep, it’s become a third world country!
In spite of all their history of looting!
They have looted numerous countries! South Africa, America, Canada, New Zealand, Australia, Hong Kong, India etc
Where did the money go?
The west is going downhill. I was in cape town from 2001 to 2010. Things were changing for the worst and I heard it got worse. The west is going through the same decline. Homelessness in going up. Crime. Drug abuse. Petty crime. Violent crime. Etc. Here in NZ we even had a blackout scare a couple of weeks ago, reminiscent of SA in those days.😢
Bless Mark and his pizza shop
The vast majority of countries in the world, has NO social safety net, at all....
Humanity is going to be Mad Maxx soon.
I live in the Netherlands and we have a social safety net.
@@thefugetive1979 Yes, you do. You are indeed very, very lucky and amongst very few countries in the world to have this. Mostly European and North American countries have this luxury...The rest of us don't. That is why your people are so entitled and lazy. Here in Africa, if we stop working, we die....
And thats wrong.
I agree. I feel like we are heading that way. Its overwhelming and so wrong. @@CapitalismDeathSpiral
Down with the crown!
Where's your crown, King Nothing?
@@aaz1992 You bow down to abject inequality, do you?
Keep on keeping on!
Amazing video! Thank you! God bless people who cares about others even if they don’t have much them selves!🙏🇺🇸🇺🇦
Helping the most in need also allows others to thrive. My friend and I have both started our careers and are both just starting to become financially secure. Both of our mothers are not capable of working, so they live in subsidised housing and live on disability payments. The actual amount of money given to them is very small (less than $20k per year), but the fact that they have just enough to live on means my friend and I are able to work on our own financial security for the future. If our parents were in a "heat or eat" situation then we'd have to spend money to resolve it and that would put us back in poverty, vulnerable in the future.
It’s beyond forgotten they don’t care at all
Mark and Abby are superheroes 🙏
Would you like to give the Bank account number of the Charity Pizzeria. Mark really deserve help !!
Let me check my card 😂😂😂.
Its all over the earth, gas prices are high here I Live in the United States, food is high also 😢
Glad to hear that they protested Maggie and the poll tax. How dare she want to tax the wealthy people more. They also want lower energy prices. Maggie was so greedy that she shut down inefficient coal mines. She was not bright. She shut down mines that charged more money for lower quality coal that polluted more and produced less power than coal coming all the way from Australia. Imagine someone is not smart enough to understand that the companies sending coal from Australia that produces more power with less pollution for a lower price is ripping people off. It makes more sense to keep the mines going that provide less power for more money and put out more pollution. Especially because the only reason the coal that was not good cost more was because it had to travel several miles. The Australian stuff was easy. All it had to do was get taken to a ship, sail to England, get unloaded and be delivered to the power plant. Good thing they protested that. Lol it's awesome to see people who have to eat crow but not be smart enough to eat. Then you can watch them develop hunger pains and starve. You guys are brilliant mate. Thug in piece Maggie and Enoch!
The crown never forgotten about the working class because the crown doesn’t even know they exist. They think everyone on earth was born to serve the crown. Think about that.
Right! Just like America. Where people help themselves with anything in the stores.
Yes should help - doesn’t matter where people come from
I Cannot say exactly what is wrong, but as I get it, the US of A has very cleverly forced Britain into buying energy from the US of A instead of buying from Russia..
I think the situation is almost the same in other Countries of Europe.
God bless you people.
Increased U.S. exports to Europe have resulted in increased costs in America.
exercise prescriptions would be fantastic if we could get it... but remember.... we also need the TIME OFF of work to do it.
In the section with charity buses they mentioned that the area is equivalent to Luxembourg.
It’s very ironic. I live in Luxembourg and all public transport is free of charge (well paid by my taxes, but I am fine with it). We are talking buses, trains and the one tram we have. I find it satisfactory, but we still often complain. I will absolutely stop now.
Depriving people of public transportation is social exclusion and reaches vulnerable people. Medium and high earners will be fine. They can afford a car.
How come someone allowed public transport to be private? It’s a public service. It’s not supposed to be profitable.
Sometimes I get angry they take almost half of my salary in taxes and we have issues of working poor as well. But at least they can get a free bus ride to work or the doctor.
It’s so absolutely sad to see elderly people abandoned by their own country.
God bless all the people that help with food, accommodation and transport. You make me regain faith in humanity.
This man is right the UK royals take all of the money 😮😮😮😮Just my opinion
Please somebody clear this up for me. I used to binge watch "Britain on the Dole". I saw so many people living carefree in council estates and smoking/relaxing. Did something change? People who were overweight claiming they couldn't work were living on the dole. Did something change?
@@nearandfarthanks for clarifying that for me.
It's lovely people are volunteering to make up for the indifference of the state and the private sector. But it is taking Cameron's "Big Society" bait, releiving the state and capitalists from paying a fair share.
New Zealand 🇳🇿 it the same my rates are going 29% wage rises are well below inflation..power food fuel increasing not good keep it up 👍
Worse if you were trying to buy or renting. And yeah my last bill was $400, have never paid more than $250 in my 14 years in Auckland. Planning to call and see if maybe there was a mistake. Heck winter isn't here yet....and last week we had a blackout scare. The Left have literally killed NZ, at all fronts
Energy tax is bad.
Seems like most nations are starting to look similar.
You can blame Boris Johnson. He took a big part to make sure the war in ukrain continued.
he also ensured enough people voted for brexit
God Bless that pizza man ❤❤❤
Tony Blair is to blame.
Do not give up. ❤🇩🇰
God save Britain!
the electricity thing is crazy
I work 64-72 hrs every week here in America and I still don't make a thousand dollars. I work in a County roads and Wirks Dept and I do part time at a hospital in the laundry room. Things are just gettting worse and worse yearly instead of it should be getting better.
Demonstrators: " Let´s abolish capitalism! ". Venezuelan : " Help!; we don´t have power! ".
Danny is also an angel
I love beans and rice. That is still pretty cheap. Brown rice. Oatmeal is great. Those cereals are bad for health. It seems like then you could get plenty of veggies which are so good for you. All these things are healthy. And cheaper.
In 10 minutes... I cant even imagine what i can get done on 10 minutes
Not only the working class, the middle class as well.
Middle class *is* working class. Even if you have bigger salaries, you still need to work for survival. This is working class
Middle class no longer exists.
They need to do these kinds of protests in New York City over congestion pricing!
How does that family with an executive in the family only make an equivalent to 65k usd per year? Assuming the 3500 is net income. Seems low for a household with an auto maker executive in the household.
If I were to guess, they are likely stretching the definition of "executive", probably more like a shift manager at a plant or something. Even then it's kind of low.
I don't think there are any startups for auto manufacture, or that'd be my guess. Lots of startup are filled with overblown titles while being completely broke.
Dont you think royalty keep forgetting their subjects wellbeings is obviously quiet a common thing.....
God bless the giy who owns the Pizza Joint. Nuff respect 🙏🏿
If you don't pay in the UK do they cut your electricity off the way they do in the states?
They tend to do everything similar or the same as USA 🇺🇸, so likely, yes. 😳
Not only UK and USA, also in Europe. But i am lucky to live in the Netherlands. Here it is way better i see, on my sociale rent home, i have 7 sunpanels, and have a year contract for gas and electric. In september i will get 700 euro's back from electric company.
Not as quickly as they would in the states.. A lot also have a pay as you go smart meter in the homes… I am American but my dad lived in the uk and I had to pay his bills for his house after he passed… the electric prices are outrageous in the uk we stayed at his home for one week in the winter and the electric / gas was as much as I would pay for a month here in Texas.. prices are even more expensive than what I used to pay living in California. It is a real struggle for those in the uk.
In some parts of the UK you have to prepay the meter or it shuts off.
If not, the stress of dying, it is the stress of living that bothers him
Cameron is on good grazing got his snout in the trough right up to his ears. 😅
Forgotten by The Crown? ... The poor don't even make it to being considered.
"Politicians only notice poverty when the ghettos burn." … Jerry Rubin
Babylon is burning.
The Royal family collect txes form other countries and yet their own people are starving. Just goes to show how they truly care about thier citizens...FT
The first thing the King did after the coronation was to give 1 billion to charities to help the poor. They pay 85% income tax on their private income and get 25% of that back to finance their royal duties and maintain Crown properties. Most of what you think They own are actually Crown properties I.e. held in trust for the people. It is Parliament who has the responsibility for managing the money.
Things are bad all over but the money spent on one day of war could house and feed the whole world for a year. The government is the one controlling war budgets not just UK but worldwide.
That Brezit thing is disastrous for the weaker population in the UK. I wish them strenght and hope things improve soon.
Love and greeting out of EU
I heard that the UK people spend nearly half their money for housing. Not much left. I am from germany and hardly middle class. I managed to limit the temperature in the house at 20C and fix the gasoven to be more efficient. Did not pay more than before the war on Ukraine.
17 million Britains below poverty line, 177 billionaires, and a king who gets more than 100 million dollars from taxpayers/modern peasants, 1 billion from his highly controversial duchies and has a net worth of more than 2 billion dollars! And we call this democracy 😂.
How about a Don't Pay in the U.S.A.!!
They turn off the gas, water, and electric. Some parts of the USA use heating oil instead of gas.
I notice that the mercantiles (debt buyers) are not buying energy debt. Legal costs and bad press are their hurdle.
People need to wake up
$5926 per month to support family ? This is considered middle class ?
In my country average income is $5500 per month
In my country couple earn up to $25000 or $35000
Cameron: "We all but killed you in order to stimulate you to save yourselves, how nice we are."
California is with you Londoners , my utilities went up 600% in the past 5 years.
And me? Im still starved down to 1 meal a day. hard to heal a broken leg on that. but what about my broken heart, your told "this is Erica land of the free" but it was a big fat lie. no fiat colony life is good. I don't have a brick home like those, I have a single wide mobile home older than my 53 years by half a decade. 22:50 we have a local shelter here but most towns don't and no beds or TV's it's a linoleum floor and a blanket and a pillow. and lights out 8pm. doors locked. overflow goes to jail. the police save their lives. this is northern CA redwoods it gets cold enough to kill.
Omg
Become a movie star. Live like a king 🤴!
Everything went up in California. I love the state but I’m thinking about moving out
Yes Commifornia is with London, they are learning their leftist wing democracy from one another. 💔
california is one of the most expensive states to live in america. move to virginia, wv, kansas, ohio. youll do better
I am not british, but I know that the last time that a king in UK have problems with the people lose his head (charles I)
With the needs of the population... Never play it
Interesting
No doubt, untethered greed is destroying everything. Including the earth.
Pure greed
I live in US for the last 40 years moved from El Salvador .civil war in the 80,s this got nothing to do with the Crowm this is worldwide cost of living that haveincrease in the last 20 years a lot a lot many things are now very expensive

Uk is so expensive…. Not surprised at all considering the accumulation of policy mistakes focusing on banking instead of manufacturing then add brexit. US is going down the same path, I fear, but for some reason it hasn’t been that bad… yet…
UK might consider returning their loot, maybe we shall pay for those articles returned and they can eat for years to come with that huge money. Those items in the treasury and museums aren't of any use anymore.
People should be treated like other valuable assets and investment made in them consistently to keep them running smoothly and well.
3500 pounds per month electric...holy God...that must be wrong...its way too expensive...how much is pure profit from energy companies?..I suspect that its the eu/wef stacking up prices by 7 fold.....thats what putin accused them of overcharging by x7,,,3500 divided by 7 is 500 per month ..which sounds right...i would renationalise thses profiteers
Desperation
GOOD! NOW KEEP GOING re Dont Pay! Its power to the people and always has been. Im sick of these greedy corporations. I didnt realise how bad things have gotten in the U.K. I feel disgusted and its like going back to feudalism. Will share far and wide.
In Australia the state governments are just transferring taxpayers money to the energy companies. They call it helping the struggling people but a large percentage of people have put solar in their homes with governments funding already and this result in them getting credits on their bills anyway and now they will just have larger credits on their bills, but the bottom line is that the billions of dollars are in the energy companies banks? What is this?
As an American I thought UK was pretty important country. It is in UN security council, G7 and has nuclear weapons. Turns out if UK was an American state, it would rank as second last in terms of per capita GDP. Meaning second poorest state after Mississippi.
I guess it is just because of historical hangover that we think UK is rich and powerful.
But I wish British people well in the future.
Multinational corporations greed is ruining the world!
Leftist policies also
