I’ve lived in Torquay all my life, and I hate having to go into the town centre. It’s dirty, full of rubbish, tents in doorways. It looks like a 3rd world country.
It breaks my heart.
The Torquay I grew up in was clean and tidy, booming in the summer. It was a great place to be.
Now it’s just a shit hole full of junkies and scumbags.
I remember visiting friends in Torquay in 1998, then going there on holiday with a friend in 2016 and it was not too bad. It looks like its gone to shit with the legal high boom, and onwards. It can be great again
Bet the council still have money for diversity officers and 20mph speed signs…. And don’t forget tree felling…
Bradford in Yorkshire the same. 😢😢
and labour and tory still get in
I spent part of the summer in Seaton a few decades ago it was OK back then how is Seaton today?
Britain in full suicide mode
They just elected Labour! So you are probably correct.
@@1977ajax14 years of Tory rule
britain Peaked.. its all downhill from here. Conservatives done most of the damage with their exploiting policies of 3rd wold conservative countries.. They are becoming one too. Its why people are suppose to vote "liberal" not the left or the right. Proper liberal party, which are very strict and support their own and proper social policies, so this mess doesnt occur. Its cause of "greedy" conservatives, it became what it is.
We are watching the planned decline of the west which is able to take place while people bicker about labour or tories not actually realising whats really going on!
It is, and its able to happen because people too busy bickering about who's party caused it when its the same puppet masters running both.
There are a number of reasons why British holiday resorts are not popular anymore, 1. The rising costs, 2. Depressing, 3. Immigration, 4. Local businesses are becoming less British
Yup, culture is a big reason people go on holiday ,yet the only culture that is every on show if you are lucky are hundreds of years old.
Rather a culture that represents the people we are told it is evil for you to have a culture of your own , you are to be multicultural .
You can only have a mass produced dull corporate style that makes everyone depressed
and global warming. British people hate the heat 😂
They were always quite depressing

Someone has to start talking about corruption in England’s councils. How they hike up the rates to close businesses and sell off council property to private companies. Who gave them the permission to do this? Why is it that governments refuse to build houses themselves and instead farm out the work to private businesses who just want to build luxury houses?
When did the poor people of this nation give up their rights? How were their rights taken away from them? Why is nobody talking about this?
Spot on.
Yes the state policies has allot to do with this, While london is filled with some of the most rich people on the planet earth so that there is barely a foot of room left and so the city is like babylone while the rest of the country is left to rot. First they did not clean the beach for nearly 70 years that could have been done so well then even now there is no business planning. The first thing is to plane how to advertise that in your town you can go to sea in those boats very cheap then make accomodation cheap, then may be open up discose as well where they can employs lots of pretty ladies to entertian people as chat nothing else and on and they are suppose to add to that but most people will come from london then when they see how nice it was to go out to the sea in a nice boats toures and then how nice it was to stay in some really good cheap hotel and then how nice it was to chat to those ladies in discos and other places , thus many of the rich men will eventually buy properties others will plane their own businesses here because it is open to all but nothing has been done about it because the people incharge do not know how ha ha ha....

That poor lovely British man living on the Streets who has worked and paid tax needs a hotel to stay in. Invaders who are rude and arrogant get nice hotel accommodation. It is unbelievable and honestly sickening
Stop this narrative,At his age he shouldnt be homeless...The question is why is he homeless ? my father and mother aint Homeless and live a good life,Because they made good decisions in life and secured their future,the goverment is the only people to blame because they are the ones paying hotels to house immigrants,maybe if the UK and their partners in crime didnt mess around abroad the immigrants wouldnt need to come to the UK
Not everyone who works pays tax. I worked in a supermarket and never made enough money to be taxed.
@@facthunt2facthunt245 you paid vat though
The proposed increase in defence spending of 0.5% would completely solve the homeless situation, consequently it is a political decision. Listen when the comment is made about the lack of social housing., I guess people voted for this?
It's not migrants fault that British people would rather be unemployed addicts begging for change for a line of coke than going to work.
Canadians are going through exactly the same thing. The WEF and the UN can be traced back to their policies affecting Canadians adversely. Trudeau is fully engaged with WEF and is committed to disastrous outcomes for Canada. God help the West.
Same situation is developing in Australia, also due to government inaction and indifference, as well as too many immigrants coming. Foreign ownership of houses as investments (bought using money they needs to launder) is the same, with many of the houses sitting empty.
The good ol’ colonial days of ruling foreign countries and looting them are long gone. Now you going have to work for your money like the immigrants but you folks too lazy and spoiled. It’s simply Karma…
But why though. Why are they destroying the West. Whst do they gain.
Canadians aren't beating their chests anymore as was the case 10 years back, proclaiming how superior they are to the US and claims of best quality of life in the world. Far from it. You voted in this creep Trudeau, now look at you.
Trudeau also brought Covid to our planet and reversed the Earth's spin
But we have billions for foreigners to go into hotels.

It’s not just seaside towns it’s everywhere now sadly.

I live in Exeter and have followed the plight of the homeless (of which I am ) and lack of homes.
I had it all to play for on the 20th March 2020. I rented a nice house, had a new business just about to sign up its first dealership after 3 years developing the product. Then the lockdown happened and the covid police turned up to shut down my business. I lost everything, home, business, savings, future and at 66 I live in a van. No homes for retired single men. Yet the government then bring out legislation to make it illegal to live in your motorhome or van on a public highway, even though your vehicle is taxed, mot'd and insured.
A local organic veg farm applied to build worker pods on their farm because their workers could not afford to rent anything in Exeter. Planners turned them down but from their farm you can see a massive new expensive housing developement.
This government and subsequent governments are only interested in what they can get out of the system.
God bless you man. Your story is millions of others' stories.
I used to go there quite often when I was in the Navy. It's sad to see what's happened to Britain.
You can guarantee most of the housing that could be given to the British homeless is being used to house illegals.
As a local myself, lived in Paignton for nigh on 50 years, i myself was shocked and saddened by your video.
I really appreciate you documenting the current state of the nation.

Bear in mind he specifically targets the absolute worse everywhere he goes and gives that 99% of his coverage.

I was there with my wife three weeks ago. Almost exactly to the date one year before that it was not great; but this time it has declined in so many ways. There were more homeless, more boarded up, or for rent, shops, with scruffy looking buildings, the whole atmosphere was garbage so we left after just one night, even though we'd planned for a Thursday to Saturday. My family used to go there in the late 70's and it really was a beautiful place, great atmosphere, lots of independent shops, all the pretty lights and that lit up gardens along the front during darkness was really nice. When we had stayed just one night, on the recent visit, I looked at my wife and asked her shall we leave early, she said yes please, and we have decided that we're never going back. We live not far from Bournemouth, and although that too has its problems in the town centre, it's nowhere nearly as bad as Torbay.

No. May be our government can get to grips with this problem. Why should we resort to charity to sort things out. The government works on all our behalf’s - this is a problem that should all take responsibility for, and it shouldn’t be the job of a charity based on random donations to resolve the issue. Of course your comment gets a load of thumbs up because it’s easier to do that than actually think about what it is you’re actually saying.

The homeless in Torquay are white Caucasians the rent is ridiculously overpriced & there is a lack of social housing as the conservatives were more interested in getting people to buy houses, we need more cheap rentals
i still fail to understand why in all these towns, the councils continually and abjectly fail to deal with the rubbish problem, surely this must be the number one priority on any to-do list for those in charge of running a place. How can anyone given the responsibility of running a town walk around seeing all that trash and garbage filthying up the place, then walk into their offices with their heads held up? When the council tax and parking charge payments come in HIRE A BIN WAGON ffs.
I live in Torbay, and I can't say I've studied our council much, but I do know that the only remaining rubbish site is a distant drive away and some items are chargeable (and it's operated very securely). So, presumably local people/ify traders use these patches for dumping: If the council regularly picked-up the junk - it would get continually filled up again! The council finds it expedient/easier/cheaper to just leave it for the rats (and I've seen them)! Beside all the stuff, we imagine a council does (and doesn't do): I do know this area has a very, very significant retired/elderly care/infirmed aspect, and through my own limited experience - it's stonkingly (££££££) expensive for the individual/the council/NHS. You can go through a 1/3 of a Million in a few months, multiply that by perhaps, many thousands? I should imagine most of these seaside councils are nigh-on bankrupt!
My dad used to say , whatever happens in America, the uk follows 10/15 years later

Yeah. As someone who lives in California. England is worse....
1: It's cheaper to go aboard where your almost guaranteed warmer sunnier weather
2: local councils allowing the building of so called out of town retail parks have killed of our once vibrant high streets.
3: Very few towns can rely on a very short summer season to survive all year round.
4: Lack of government funding for the increase in manufacturing.
5: Severe lack of moral guidance and values from some parents are creating a morally defunct population whi h is only going to get worse for future generations.

Greetings from SoCal ... your country has the same problems that we do. Neoliberalism, toleration of substance abuse, crime, pandering to illegals at the expense of our citizens, etc. As to the demise of tourism, I suspect people do not want to visit dirty towns strewn with trash, homeless, and so forth. Former gems here in California include Santa Monica, but I would not set foot there now. Thank you for your channel, Joe, you're the best!

There are numerous channels now reporting on the shocking state of towns and cities across the UK and yet I have yet to hear any credible explanation from any elected MP or local authority big-wig as to why this has been allowed to happen. We've had plenty of boom and bust cycles over the decades (all by design I would suggest) but the current demise is off the scale and I do not believe this is solely a consequence of online shopping and high business rates. I do not see how this situation can ever be reversed.

Same as in Ireland my brother is a Brit living in southern Ireland, he's a musician and made a tidy sum playing gigs for weddings and birthdays in hotels, now the hotels are full of immigrants no more gigs, unfortunately it's not just affecting him, the local businesses that rely on tourists are going bankrupt as there are no hotels for the tourists, what a crazy situation!
Not true
Immigration, weak courts,and British people holidaying abroad !!!🤬🤬
8 million a day on immigration costs housing and all the health care they receive. When our own people British families are suffering so badly. It's a joke
It’s not immigration. Do some research.
British people ARE holidaying in Britain, sometimes it’s hard to get a campsite spot!
Oh come on, stop spouting off Daily Mail reactionary headlines and educate yourself properly to understand it's nothing to do with immigrants. Only xenophobes have that sort of ignorant knee jerk reaction.
we can find billions for never ending war and even more for invaders but nothing for our own people, the issue is i always had my holiday in paignton as a kid and then switched to cornwall but the average weekly price to holiday in the south west in summer has gone up to between £1200-£2000 for a small lodge where as i could holiday in spain for 2 weeks fully catered for that price and be guaranteed good weather as right now this year has been a washout for the UK
Great content as usual Joe, the graphics you included this time were a good addition. Just a suggestion mate, as you move forward, see if you can include some interviews with people involved in running the system. I know you talk to locals and shop keepers etc but how about some local councillors, some local MPs, charity workers, social workers,teachers, even the police if possible. Keep it up mate, its valuable stuff. Your compassion does you credit.
It would be significantly cheaper for me to fly to Spain from Nottingham than getting the train down to Torquay. That’s a big problem.
Thanks joe for a good look at the decline of torbay. I have lived here for 27 years and up until the last decade, i loved it here and i was very happy that i moved here with the good times enjoyed. I don't go near the towns anymore, Paignton and Torquay for the reasons that you've highlighted. The whole country is going the same way and it hasn't just happened as one of those things. All by design, which you may be aware of, if you look further afield than the tv and media. As for the July weather, there is an explanation and the best place for the answers is a TH-cam channel called "Suspicious Observers " which shows in depth what they are not telling us. It's an eye opener for sure and I've been watching for the last 4 years. Good video Joe and thanks again.
Litter, garbage, graffitti, shows what a real slum looks like
Excellent reporting. Well done. Shocking what has happened to our seaside towns. Yes it is very expensive to Rent a flat or house for a holiday anywhere in the UK.
Kids today have no respect because our country has no rules, blame all the do gooders
What, surely it's do-badders that are the problem
This probably started when the wealthy began buying second homes in these lovely places, leading to increased house prices and less property for sale so locals can't afford to buy, which in turn leads to a shortage of affordable property to rent. The locals then leave, businesses fail due to lack of year-round customers, and then there are no jobs.
Torbay has not really suffered from this. House prices have risen far slower than the surrounding area and the south west generally. There are empty, derelict houses still. It’s quite unusual for the south of England.
It looks like the local council is not putting any money back into the area & amenities!
Shocking it used to be so beautiful area. It is disgraceful that the council are letting the local people down like this! Smh😒
Councils seem to be black holes for absorbing tax money with little to show for it
They are ALL old heads who do NOT care for the youth and future of torbay. Hence why they shut down and drove off all facilities for the youth..
Maybe if we can get these poor souls to France they can come back on a dinghy and then they can priority accommodation
I was here 4 days ago! I still loved it! I walked from Torquay to Brixham an AMAZING walk! People in tents everywhere, but what better place to be than on the coast :) I did stick to the seafront though and beaches.
I hear this all over, it's a real shame Torbay is turned out like this! I remember when my kids were small we had some good holidays there, drugs lack of investment and nowhere to rent a dangerous mix to come back from. So much money wasted on supid things and the people suffer
I used to go there on holiday with my parents when I was a kid. That was in the sixties. Dad bought us ice creams and I got stung by a wasp. It was a lovely place then. Shame.
This comment really resonated with me
Yes so did I; we used to have lovely holidays when we were children during the 1960's both in Devon and Cornwall.
My partner is from Devon, we visit often to see the family. We stay in different places for a holiday as well. A couple of years ago we could sea that Paignton was ok in a small area but as you moved away from the sea front area it went downhill so quickly it surprised us. Clearly, it has gone down since then even further. So sad, it's a great area with lovely people. We wonder how society has allowed this take the toolmaker bloke for an excellent example

@@chazsach6594 thank you for reminding me. I like Paignton so don't wish to write anything worse. To be clear, it is not very different to many other towns and cities around the country.Perhaps, it's because it was such a nice place, it makes it come across worse. Some people cite immigration and homeless numbers having a correlation but given the empty houses by the street full in some northern towns and other derelict city centre property across the country, there could be a roof over everyone's head. Most crime is driven by drugs People in the grip of addiction have different priorities. Recovering addicts on the other hand often come across as so positive, caring and full of energy and purpose.
if people wouldn't feed them and give them money they would disappear . they come down to Brighton, because they can get more money on the seafront. Uk is a great country full of opportunities, if you want you could have a decent life. but for that you need to work (not even hard) biut easier to sit around by the ATM outside or by the Brighton pier and beg.
I grew up in Cornwall, but now live in a 2.5 million people city in North America. Although what you experience is a pain in the ass, it’s absolutely nothing compared to what’s happening here. In one street here, there are more homeless people than all of Cornwall.
Furthermore, you speak of “homeless” like they are a different species.
You haven't been to Cornwall recently have you?
Most of these homeless are on the streets on their own accord, they choose to spend their money on alcohol and drugs instead of rent and utilities.
Why don't they make you Minister of Social Affairs? Your heart is in the right place.
He doesn't have a foreign Asian name
That automatically disqualifies him from Westminster life....he has a heart.
Well things are only going to get worse under Starmer and the last Tory MP did nothing except paint a part of the road blue in Paignton🤦♀️
What are we doing abandoning our own people… Wake up, Europe!!!
I was at teenager at school in the early 80s, and i remember our business studies teaching us that all the shops will be closing down because of Internet shopping.
This is shocking & lockdown has alot to answer for! That poor man who lost everything because of it & wasn't entitled to furlough as self employed. This is so true because my cousin who had his own business was in the same situation. He & his partner had three months money to live on but if the second lockdown had carried on any longer they would have been in trouble. It's criminal. Where is all the council tax going that people are paying into the system? What is the local council doing with the money for the streets to be filthy & graffiti everywhere & with no youth centre for the youngsters?!! Questions need answering & an investigation is needed!!! 🤨
mirror image of Venice Beach here in So Cal....the City Manager and Mayor were finally removed/replaced, laws enforced, things got much better. Venice is a big vacation destination, so the reasons given for Torquay's demise (lack of tourism/jobs) is not true for Venice, but the problems are exactly the same. So what gives? A lack of law enforcement, coupled with weak/woke Council, and lifestyle choices...throw in a bit of nihilism and easy availability of drugs to liven things up for a few minutes....great video....depressing...but great.
Came across your video mentioned in my Devon Live news feed! Great video highlighting the problems thanks Joe 🙏
Whilst there’s been a noticeable decline in Torbay, the problems you feature here are country wide and worse in many other areas.
Housing in Torbay is a huge issue, so thank you for highlighting the disparity in social housing provision between Torbay and other localities. The TQ1 postcode was in the top four most ‘deprived areas’ in the country more than a decade ago, so no change there.
The knock on effect of the pandemic on the hospitality industry on which Torbay relies is still being felt. All councils make mistakes and Torbay is no exception, but there’s only so much you can do with limited funding. The problems seem to lie at Government level and general lack of investment in the whole country.
For balance, why not come back when the weather improves and make another video covering all the positive aspects of life in Torbay?
We camped at Paignton and walked over the hills to Torquay absolutely loved the place so clean it was like being abroad that was 30 years ago
Poor Paignton. I cried on a donkey ride in 1964 there. Thanks for video 👍
I cried watching this video
Did the donkey tread on you?
First time viewer here. Thank you Joe for such an interesting video. Sticking to the points with no hidden agenda and a lovely voice with attitude to match! I wish you well on your you tube journey sir! Subscribed.
On a personal note I have visited Paignton lits of times over the years, firstly starting way back in the 80s. It really saddens me how much this whole area has slowly declined. Each time I returned it seemed to get worse. My last visit where I stayed was with my wife around 7-8 years ago. We could both see how much it had gone downhill then. I really hope these lovely places are saved before it's too late.
It's just the normal seasonal change, we tend to forget, this happens most years. I would say, from the downturn in some Cornish coastal towns over 20 years ago, it's almost contagious, like a creeping virus. Life is changing, fast, The cost, of maintaining a home's exterior, putting many annual jobs on the back burner, making everything look shabby and neglected. It's all about costs. The worste part is, we don't have a clue about how to stop the rot.
I haven't been able to afford a sea-side holiday in a decade.
Just save 10 pounds a week that will get u a week in a SUNNY, WARM climate - - I don't see reason to spend summer holiday in this depressing country
And you just get on a boat and your in a Hotel or a luxury apartment that the owner has rented out to the Govenment. It is beyond Disgusting we don't look after our own
Blame the government, not the migrants
To be fair you have highlighted the very worst parts which aren't really any worse than most other sea side towns. Yes Factory Row and Castle Circus are shocking ,and virtually all the problems are down to the homeless hostel there. One thing to note is that in years gone by literally thousands of unemployed people moved to the area because then they were housed and could claim the same benefits as home but by the seaside. Having said all of that if you avoid the town centre and stick to pretty much anywhere else around the bay it is beautiful. At least he didn't make the same mistake as another TH-camr and spend ages filming the outside of the multi storey car park and give a long insightful commentary about it being run down social housing flats.
UK is now in incredible decline. In 1970's all tourist areas were thriving, High streets were busy and trading. Now those tourist areas are run down and people do not go as they did, whilst many High streets are boarded up, shuttered and many will never open again unless something drastic changes.
Since big manufacturing industries were allowed to decline and the huge increase in local government and the extra layer of political class by Devolution, less of the working population actually earn money for the country, whilst more are in jobs paid by government, which is simply recycling taxes.
When 70% of the working population are paid by some level of government, that is the communist system described in Animal farm. This is why UK is in serious decline for the past 50 years.
We need manufacturing in UK to come back, Steel, Chemicals, Ship Building , and better Project Management (not by politicians). The political class are mostly incompetent.
Totally agree..
Keep up the good work Sir! Excellent video.
Torbay has been classed as a deprived area for more than 5yrs, alot of the homeless have come from Exeter and Plymouth. They have come from up North and filtered down in to Torbay, also what you see on the Street are not all homeless. They are sat there begging for money to get there fix at one of the crack houses in the bay, Some of them don't want help. The council also except alot straight out of jail. Including sex offenders. What also don't help is the council shut places down like oldway. Kids have no respect anymore these days. Some are tooled up also, the skate ramp was removed due to the fact it was no longer safe. Not sure if it will be rebuilt
That’s what happens when there is no industry. The UK don’t make anything anymore. Not everyone can work in the tec industry. We came out of the common market where a few people has small businesses in selling abroad. All gone,what hope do youngsters have. No industry,no bank jobs anymore,no hope for the younger generation.very sad.
I did feel sorry for the bloke with the dog as he only just wants that chance to get he's life back on track by working hard not many are the same it's disgusting wat the government has done our country 🤬🤬
It’s several factors that have caused this, 1st Foreign Holidays 2nd cost of living 3rd Internet so high street shops are closing 4th cheap booze in supermarkets so pubs struggle and close and night life in general clubs shutting because of bad vibes, violence. It’s the perfect storm.
I have to say its the high streets own fault. Its a bit like when youd have to pay £15 for a music CD, then PC's came out with disc burners installed and you could burn your own music off, but we the public had been getting ripped off for decades so you cant blame people getting their own back on certain industries!
Back to the high street, and I know they have overheads etc...but a bottle of decent perfume in boots is about £80 when you can get the EXACT same size/perfume bottle for like £25 off Amazon...how can the high street justify such a mark up? And when we didnt have a choice they charged even more!!
Im sorry but like music CD's the people have been getting ripped off for decades, now we have a choice tough 💩
😜😜😜
@@badgambler-un5ck because property value has been inflated to the point where it is destroying everything else.
@@stephendiggines9122 Property and energy costs are rotting out the economies of European civilization; Immigration, fanatical movements have been the main battering rams used not just to ruin the economy, but derail national unity and lead people astray. Dangerous levels of Immigration from outside of Europe is destabilizing countries, causing numerous problems and pushing property prices up.

I went last month for a week's break. I had a great time and hopefully will return soon. Yes I noticed the homeless in doorways and empty shop units. But that's the same in every town and city. On the whole its a great place to visit.
This is heartbreaking. I lived in Torquay for 10 years from the mid-nineties and it was a fantastic place to be. Such a shame.
This does make my blood boil . Our own homeless and the government can host illegals in hotels and other shelters .While our own have worked and payed tax and this the thanks they get .
Love your channel Joe fish! I’ve always wanted to visit southern England and the Torbay area in particular being from New York myself we think of those places as much better off than they really are I think. It’s sad really, we have many of the same social problems with drugs and hooliganism but what does really strike me is the rubbish piles you tend to see in a lot of your videos in these tired areas. I mean people in the UK pay a ton in taxes I’m told and it really doesn’t take much to keep a street clean if you have regular garbage pick up coming around I just don’t get how the town committtees would let that happen so much. Sure you have to pick it up often but just do it lol it’s a beautiful area otherwise. Love your vids man
No, the people just throw stuff on the ground and expect someone else to pick it up. I told one lad off for doing it and he answered by saying it gives someone a job to pick it up. People are demoralised and depressed.
@@johnlesoudeur3653 believe me when I tell you America has the same exact issue with its youth. They have no respect for authority or themselves. For example, when I was young we were made to bag groceries if we worked as clerks in the check out aisles and it was one of the main aspects of our job which it should be. We were paid next to nothing compared to the youngsters doing the same job today and at many stores you will see them choose not to bag your groceries if they don’t feel like it and you are left to hurriedly do it yourself after just spending $200 on groceries you barely have because they are too lazy and entitled. It’s a joke. I’m disgusted with the world today on so many levels.
We have stood by and watched it happen.
The politicians have let them in but we have let them settle.
Bless the tool maker fellow…. It’s becoming more and more apparent that honest hard working men get the bum deal… i pray you get some help soon brother! #fellowtradesman
The main reason is coastal councils dress the facade for tourists and do very little for the locals, when the tourists are gone there is nothing for the young to do, this is not the only area suffering this kind of demise on the south coast.
Since when are a couple of junkies, litterers and cops a f***ing WARZONE?
This dude has done my head in. I'm born and bred Torquay and Paignton and still here and I feel his video is only taking snippets and portraying Torquay especially as it is always bad and this goes on constantly but it's all bullshit and he is full of shit
We went there about 10 years ago and we knew then is was already going down hill ! We used to go regularly in the 1970’s ! Such a shame 🥲🇬🇧
This is what a country which has prentended for the last couple of decades it meant something in the world looks like when it is confronted with the truth that it doesn't produce anything and it isn't a leader in anything. The UK has become the very definition of 'managed decline'.
When I worked at torbay in the 60s it was so beautiful I was so proud to work there this is beyond belief ❤
i went there on my sixteenth and eighteenth birthday, 91 and 93, it seemed really classy to me back then. looks a bit sad now.
The problem with homelessness is the cure is not just giving a homeless person a home. Many homeless people have a host of problems which means they aren’t set up to live normal lives. They won’t pay the rent or the utilities and often cause social problems. There is no appetite in politics to grasp the nettle has the saying goes. How would people in the woke society we live in, feel about basically boot camping people so they can get their act together? I can hear the cry of human rights! already but if something like enforced rehabilitation is not the answer what is?
Shameful how we treat our men that have hit hard times. Shame on the government and councils.😢
I remember holidaying with my mum and dad in Torquay when I was a child; it never looked like this.
I’d spent many holidays down there around Torquay,
It’s really sad to see the decline.
Thanks for the insight
Visited Torquay on a frequent basis since secondary school. My ex best mate's sister lived down there. On each trip down there, i have just seen a decline each time. Its sad to see.
Look up the great reset and agenda 2031 to educate yourself.
RIP Torquay
I don't think it's as bad as he is saying....never had any probs with this here. And I have lived here for 23yrs. And where is this guy from. How dare he ! This will ruin out Tourist industry !!!
This is so very sad 😔
I'm glad you brought these problems to light, otherwise we assume that parts of the country are not suffering at all, but are still living up to their original standard.
So what are the local MPs , Councillors and council doing ?
Are they any hostels for the homeless ?
The council could be sweeping the streets for a start , clearing up the fly tipping , and working with the courts for people who are deemed to carry out community service, cleaning up the graffiti !
It really seems that many people in a position of power have given up.......its not acceptable.
Finally, the drugs problem, are young people being educated in school by drug counsellors ?
Is their an addiction rehabilitation centre in the area , a safe place for people to gain help ?
The council, police, social services, and business enterprise centres need to work together, to bring these towns up to date with the facilities of a town in post Tory Britain 🇬🇧 xx
Nice you’re getting some stats together 👍🏼 Heartbreaking situations across the UK 😕
Torquay is marvelous. Great restaurants, even Michelen starred.
Some very good hotels too
And history
Agatha Christie, Peter Cook, Kipling, Darwin, The Romanov family, all lived here.
💯
Basil Fawlty too.
Dont forget the Singer family, Oldway mansion, and the Redcliff hotel.
@@glendakirby5579 Oldway.

First and foremost to blame for this homeless situation is the UK government and its poorly handled (allowed to fester) immigration open border policy and inaction.
Better coming over from Calais with No documents, they stick you in a Hotel then with free food, medical staff also come and see you.
GB = Migrant Disneyland, ALL with Fast Track wristbands.
lol. good analogy
Councils have all had their budgets cut and the workforces have been cut down Plenty of money though for illegal immigrants
cause the companies running these facilities are owned by the rich. This the way the rich are given tax-payers money to get richer...Secret is join the rich then you become shareholder of these companies and get richer at everyone else's expense...
