"This Is Our Estate, Not Theirs" | Britain's Forgotten Men
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 18 ส.ค. 2017
- Many white working-class men are struggling in today’s society - low education, poor jobs, high crime.
Filmmaker Dan Murdoch spends a year on the fringes of Manchester in some of Britain's most deprived estates. He finds anger, resentment and frustration. But he also finds a spirit of camaraderie among the estates that are fighting to stay above water - fighting not to be forgotten.
Greg puts on chicken for his local community and Mikey gets into a
spot of bother
Britain's Forgotten Men is an ongoing series. The first four parts will be released daily.

So glad I joined the Royal Navy when I was 17. I loved my home town of Rochdale in Lancashire, but boy did I see get to see the wider world. The town I left was starting to be, and now is, full of people like this. Some lovely people of course, but many, many lowlifes. I had a great career, learnt a trade and am now settled in Florida. I could have been one of these but, thankfully I wasn't, I didn't do drugs and I got off my ass and served!!!! So grateful to the RN.
well done my daughter wants to join the Royal Navy hope she gets in
Forces looking for altar boys now. I was 11 years in army. Shocked me the rules for enlisting in 2000 when I was recruiting. Red tape a joke. I couldn't join TA after leaving for a court conviction.
@@neildiamondo1131 I just can't get why people would sign up to a job where they might be ordered to kill vulnerable members of society. People called up in war have no choice.
I really don't know what to do after school and was thinking about air force or navy are you happy in it
Good for you mate. Enjoy that Florida sunshine!

Britain's forgotten men. Ain't doing much to be remembered.
This comment has more weight than every other in my opinion. Bravo mate 👏
@Rosida Andriyana positive. All is see is smothered mothered babys that know nothing but to have everything handed to them on a plate due to the benefits system. Would love to see how many would volunteer for national service. Cant even be proud to show there face.
What are they supposed to do
@Kay Kay lost how. Got lost decide to sell drugs. Got lost and decide to not look for a job got lost and decided to just go out and rob steal and stab people how lost are they when the street outfits they walk around in are £300 a go. Really how lost are they sat at home on xbox and playstation. Poor excuse. Never seem to not have the option to smoke weed all day or drink all day. No excuse for most of them.
While I agree that something should be done to resolve such issues, you like many others should be careful how you look your nose down on them. You may meet the wrong side of them one day.
The gym owner is doing such good work. Getting kids off the street and feeding people
Real man of the people!
Marvin Garrison shut up mate.
+Marvin Garrison what there are loads of polish and Romanian homeless people across the UK. Know your facts before making conclusions.
Hana J alie the gym owner is sound as fuck
Life is hard is tuff when ur living as a normal citizan payin bills etc.u have to hustle and bussle.you have ups good time living like a king then theres downs when you living ruff got it bad.never will i give up on life as 1day you can be dwn and poor next day you could b a milllion air and fich.never forget them who was good to you on the way while you had nothing its those who u dnt forget.im 40 and still trying to ģet that special day wst makes me wat makes my legacy.!!!!
If only working hard in school wasn't considered 'gay' or 'geeky' on these estates, you'd see a lot more prosperity.

*09:08** “I got sacked because I got pissed and thought fuck work” Now remind me again why the immigrants are getting all the jobs?*
Because they work for much less.
@@ScaroRussell common misconception, they get paid the same as anyone for most jobs, obviously a few off the books jobs maybe but that isn’t the case. It’s the fact they apply for lower end jobs as for them, it’s a good pay. So when presented with 2 candidates, one who wants the job and will work hard for a low end job, and one who has got a more self entitled approach and will only work as hard as the pay deserves. Who would you hire?

Talks about brexit without any political knowledge and then says the phone bill is going up is due to brexit
Wow
Everything is going to increase because of brexit. Especially food, Gas and Electric as 30% of supplies come from the EU. So these kids voting to leave to get immigrants out cos tjey think itll make their lives better😂its literally making it worse

"I'm not racist but"
A sentence that no one who isn't racist has ever said
Come on now mate, you know that's just a generalization. We live in a society that is paranoid about "racism" and so that's why many people feel the need to say this before they make their point which could indeed not be a racist point.
@@silverbullet2008bb it is generalising I agree but in my experience as an African in England it has always come before something racist but I am not everyone so I completely agree that decent people are walking on egg shells trying to live there life without offending someone

Gees i remember leaving school and getting a YTS , i was working 40hrs a week for 27.50 on a Friday i got my wage 😢 went home to my dad who had lost benefits for me because i was 16 had started working...... i had to give him £ 20.00 aweek. Then it cost me £ 4.00 a week for a weekly bus pass to get to work, leaving me with £ 3.50 in my pocket. I think a pk of 20 cigarette cost £ 3.00 in 1986. Poverty keeps you in poverty. these youngster want more and i don't blame them its easier not to grow up. Or to chose crime poverty brings hardship and depression, lack of education but it make these kids live in the real word. No wonder they fight against it
Well said friend l was around back then nothing changed 1983 on word the Moose
Wast the yts pay a piss take even then
It's always been easier to step down. Just more beneficial to step up. Remember for every one who gives up. There's couple more getting his share of self respect.
i am 30 on on pip and id love to work but scarring on the brain due to fits i took as a child means my attention spans shot which means i can't hold a job down, if it weren't for my family i would of been homeless years ago as i only get 80 pounds a month to survive
i might try to get into a course could develop into a metal working job as thats what i wanna do
Immigrants have never taken my job, and its a very well paid job. I wonder why that is ?. I was homeless at 14, joined the army at 16. Went to uni at 30. Life is hard, life is unfair, life is against you, society will screw you over. I learned that when I was a little boy. I also learned, that, if there was no one else I can rely on, I best be up to the job of looking after me. Yup did I feel bitter, that others have life handed to them on a plate. Yup I did, I am only human. Did I let it get in the way of me making something of my life did I feck. You have three choices, you either accept what life has f=given you, work to change the system, or work to change your self. I took the 3rd. And it worked for me. So sit on your arse whine about immigrants, taking low paid shite jobs. Or work a shite job and study for a better job.

Well bloody said!!!!
Im with you bro,
Thanks Mate well said !!!!🇵🇱
You’ve smashed it fp to u
Im half Polish. Finding jobs is difficult, but my mother emphasised university, education and hard work as a way to get forward in life.
These people come across as dossers.
Stop blaming immigrants and pick yourselves up.
while i hate drug users and respect people who invest in themselves... it isnt right to go to university just to have a job. you should be able to nab 1 even if you are uneducated. MASS immigration is the problem. number of people OUTNUMBERING jobs is a problem.
thing is foreigners will happily scrub a toilet or sweep streets cause they're happy to be earning money in a good country. While these kids want to work 1 hour a day getting paid a million pound. they need to graft at something rather than slagging off foreigners
@@texasgun2731 Take a look at any job board, any day of the week. 000’s of jobs out there. But you need to be able to read, write and communicate properly. Which isnt asking very much at all…
@@MrA71717 I wonder if we found them now with all the shortage of workers we have now, they would be in employment. Let me bet a £ million the answer is a NO.
@@texasgun2731 So what you're saying is that these dusty youth are fit to be doctors as they don't need to go to university and learn medicine. Gotcha
*whines about ppl coming in and “stealing” jobs*
*doesn’t go into work and gets fired bc they “got pissed and didn’t go in”*
riiiiiight.... would ya look at that logic??
Yea the issue is benefits. This why the country turned on left wing politics. They just want to ply poor with benefits and bring in cheaper labour. Close borders cut benefits. We’ll have a look then. If you think Brits are lazy check out the demographics of the armed forces, men and women who put their lives on the line, do some of the toughest work in the country.
Uncle Albert no one said British people are lazy only lazy people are lazy mate.
No it’s the fact that they white lads can’t get work because the immigrants will illegally work for extremely cheap
DJ ELZ shut up these people are born in a country which is developed they can work hard be successful they just take life easy that’s all they blame someone else who works harder then them for their mistakes, we see a lot of immigrants working in the NHS who did they get there through hard work, these guys complain about money when they spend money on things like drugs and alcohol shut up ur point is pathetic.
The issue with the working class, is a lot more complex than that. When we are to look at the working class as a whole they have been quite frankly betrayed by both labor, and the Tories on the basis that the working class don't really win elections anymore. I mean, 14% is no where near a majority. Compared to the roughly 60% of the middle class. Furthermore, when we are to look at their rhetoric they state that the immigrants are working for less than them. They don't want to work because they feel like they being undervalued. Which yes, it isn't stated the wages they are earning nor do we know the reason why he got "pissed off at the end". I'd argue that this video is actually quite sly, due to the usage of the music clearly meant to evoke emotions in regards to the working class.
Yes, I've interacted with those that would be considered "chavs" and it is quite frankly saddening. However, at the same time the same aspects that could be argued as chav-like behavior can also be seen with those that would not be considered working class and what tends to be forgotten is that they are human too. I've seen people that would be considered middle class shit talk them and say they want to get away from them, whilst at the same time they participate in the same degenerative behavior such as drugs.
Furthermore, by complaining about this you are only making this problem worse as they will begin to resent the classes above them who simply don't understand them. For example, the author of this post is a woman of color. The result of this is that they would feel that they are being spoken down upon by the filthy immigrants that have arrived to steal their jobs, the ones that have been given a hand whilst they are just left in the dirt.
I lived in wythenshawe, I’m now in medical school training to be a dentist. Everyone has opportunities to be something, only certain people take them.
Nice name. Is middle name Quota?
Yep
Most of them want to be plastic gangsters. They are all to thick to live a proper life. Down to there shit parents.
Nah, you had an opportunity. There’s a difference.
Many White people, including myself, feel we're being racially suffocated by Brown immigration into the UK. Some is OK, but not when it gets to more than 1% of the population.
Don't go to school, drink, put a tattoo on your face, quit your job after a few days....sounds like a recipe for a fucked up life.
You forgot a step: blame the government and immigrants for being unable to get a job due to not going to school, drinking, tattooing one's face.

typical whites, always blaming others for their mistakes
I've worked with Polish when I was younger doing Farm Labour and we were all paid the same. My boss could never get enough English workers, no one was interested in a 6am start and hard boring graft. Neither did I so I joined the Army instead
That's the truth of why we have so many foreign workers over here. Supply and demand and there's a massive demand in farm labour and factory workers
I thought the army would be more hard work than that ?
@@iaw7406 probably not as boring
Amazon would close if they all went back
It allows employers to pay the lowest wage is why there are so many eastern europeans working in farm labour and factory work.
Immigrants do the jobs that natural born citizens choose not to do. simple. They take the jobs because it’s what’s available, some of those very immigrants are trained in other areas, but cannot get jobs in their new country, take low paying jobs in hopes to better themselves and their families. This documentary is just a mirror to what’s happening in most western countries . Cant blame others for wanting to better themselves. Generational poverty screws with you.
Funny thing is, it was only 40 years ago where Newcastle and Liverpool had the largest shipbuilding sites in the world, the north east built 70% of the worlds boats. The north breathes hard sturdy working class men like no other region in England, everywhere had down and outs, but it’s not our fault that our unemployment has skyrocketed. In the space of 30 years all the steel factories, coal mines and shipyards were all closed down.
Its the fact people wanted bigger ships than the Wear and the Tyne could built.
After all, the Clyde still builds massive ships.

My dad works as a circuit builder for network rail doing a 9-5 office job and my mother is a teaching assistant. My parents have never smoked or used drugs and they have never committed a crime.
@Adrian Mendoza It's not that bad mate lol honestly
I really feel it for the boxer who lost his mother. I've been horrible and ungrateful to my mum and I'm really sorry for that. Many of us have disrespected our mother when deep down we love her but don't show it cos we wanna act tough and be cocky. We can show hate and aggression no problem but showing love and compassion,for many is nearly impossible.

@@JamesLee-rq4sy there are many British, American and even Chinese in Nigeria working as expats. In case you didn't know Nigeria is a large oil producer and big companies like Shell and Chevron have been based there in the oil industry for more than 50 years.
The problem with Nigeria is bad governance and corruption which makes it difficult for locals to earn a living. Therefore, many leave to make a life overseas.

Can't afford to pay rent but more than happy to blow a good proportion of their income on weed and drink. Makes sense.
Brad Jones how do you know what they spend their benefits on?
You'd be surprised to hear most spend their benefits on rent and food and then graft for the luxuries.
Live on a constant breadline for a while with little to no prospects and see if you're not more tempted than you'd usually be to indulge in an escapist habit.
Brad Jones nah then when they run out of money they go robbing things from people that worked hard for doing a proper job😂.
if you were feeling de-motivated, forgotten, left behind, escapism is alot more appealing.
Can I just say that those "Chinese" and "Pakistani" takeaways you guys are cussing are probably the same takeaways you eat from ??? LOL
The takeaway owners probably pay some taxes too, so rightly, it is more their estate than that of those racist, greasy little foreskins.

Karen Nelson . Yes every night. So sad that is still going on
How could the immigrants take away something you've never had?
Swear
10 people going for the same job lowers wages and makes it less likely working class folks will find gainful employment. Their anger should be directed towards the government, as them who are opening the flood gates.
You've answered your own questions. The population of the country has increased more in the past 10 years than at any point in history, yet there are less jobs than there have ever been. You do the maths.
The narrative of mocking people from low income households for (correctly) blaming immigration isn't helping either.
The UK does NOT need more migrant workers. There is NO JOB that native Britons cannot themselves do. It does, however, benefit corporations to hire migrant workers who will tolerate lower wages and poorer conditions than ethnic Brits would.

Love the comment sections on these type of videos, always puts me in a good mood
It's all about parenting it's always about parenting. I grew up in a council house where most days of the week there wasn't any food in the house becuase my parents had 4 kids and only my dad worked. The biggest aspiration anybody had in my family was to have kids of their own. My sister had 2 before she was 20 and they couldnt have been prouder. I saw so many traps that i could have fallen into, crime, economic depression, drugs. I moved out at an early age and went to university and have done well for myself but i find it hard to not resent my parents for the lack of support over the years. It's the same story for a lot of working class kids but not all make it out the way i did. I was a different person back then, it's hard to escape that mentality and find some ambition and drive
I see where you are coming from . i grew up in a broken home and my parents left me to my own vices before i hit my teens. no community , no social structure. Operating in this world without being socialized is very hard. Being unemployable ; i had to volunteer and then build all my life lessons working for minimum wage in a kitchen. I was never very academically successful but sometimes I think studying is a learned skill and being in a better environment , with the right encouragement/values i could of done better for myself.
my pops also had an aversion to teaching me things. I think with many established working class blokes value is so hard to come by they hoard it wherever they can find it.

Man said he aint racist 😂
better than you that doesn't make you racist
wow not bright
Whats racist about being sick of mass migration of foreign blood into ones homeland and i say sick of mass importation not just a few foreign bloods, that doesnt make anyone racist for want a chance at life amongst his own blood primarly.
So if I use the end word once and not in anger, that makes me racist for the rest of my life?
Salma Abdullah fuck you
It's always an immigrant's if you can't get a job because of your low education level, or maybe because you are too lazy to work.
flying dutchman123 pick a different job sector
Mate the way I see it, that polish immigrant can work for £4.50/ph instead of a British white lad off council estate refusing £6.50/ph
Now from an employers POV the less I pay, the more there is for me. According to state, 70-80 % nurses are non-English. My dad is a doctor and he's non-White too. Now people in council estate need to realise that hatred and going the bad path is the way forward. It's all got to do in the end with who actually want a change in their lifestyle. Britain is a multi-cultural nation and wether if one accepts it or rejects it, it's true. Kicking a particular race or religion isn't a solution it'll only create more problems than before. Imaging kicking all the foreign staff from NHS, public would be affected immensely to be seen by a doctor. Thanks for the biased media we get deluded and support the lies. Those who wanna get out of the benefit munching lifestyle can do it.
Fuck off bet u grew up in a posh aria in London.

It's a fact that ordinary people find it hard to get work. I'm Irish been in the UK for 25 odd years and I've seen the difference in the early 90's you could pick up jobs in cleaning cheffing easily it's not like that now
Indeed. But the left wingers always blame we are ''lazy'' when statics prove the British public work some of the most hardest hours in the Western world and employment levels in our country are at a record high. Higher than most nations in Europe and even higher than the USA! It's the fact that these poor areas have been flooded with outsiders and the natives feel left behind.
only lazy bums who dont want it enough have problems
Yes cause immigrants like you taking our jobs 😂
But no your spot on
we live in a relative golden age, if you cant get/keep work its cos youre lazy
What an incredibly charming group of people :D
Bad boy chiller at the end
Anyone complaining about polish men and women Indian Pakistanis taking jobs has never gone down to a job centre has never given their cv to a coop or gone down to a restaurant and asking a chef to wash pans
They have.
Cameron Wood they work illegally for less than minimum wage mate
blue FISH I worked illegally and less than minimum wage and I’m 18
Cameron Wood exactly... normal people won't do that as it is illegal... so you are taking our jobs by doing them illegally as none of your pay will go to the government as tax.
Yeh anyone proud wants of jsa as soon as poss. It sucks. I had to go on it once when a job fell through. It does not feel good being on it
4.30 my phone bills gone up hahaha you don't pay it mum does and I guarantee none of those kids where even old to vote haha
J Spicer probably their school vote
Very judgmental of people arnt you dear, Nazi.
@Kelly Edey. The Nazis were National Socialists, they killed people from all colours and walks of life. Even if people are a bit judgemental, it does not make them a "Nazi". My grand father was a freedom fighter, my family went through the holocaust of Joseph Stalin. Later the Nazi's invaded and my family helped smuggle people out of Ukraine. No one was caught, they would have been killed by the Nazis....... Your comment is both very inaccurate and inappropriate. Please do not use it again. Steve
Most things they said was right
12 minutes 33 fkn seconds of my life I ain't getting back.
johnny bumfluff ||| thank god I read ur comment before continue watching
The problem is not: "they can't", the problem is: "they don't know how to"
more like "they cant be asked to because they're to lazy and think they have the power just to blame immigrants and talk down on everyone else"
Wtf
There is always a way out, it just takes hard work & dedication. I know.
I was brought up on a council estate in London, we didn’t have a pot to piss in, so I thought to myself I need out of here, got myself a job worked very hard to better myself, by the time I was 40 I had my own business, got a house and a nice car, I’m now 59 and retired happily living my life.. my point is if you want it enough and are willing to get off your lazy ass you can do it 😎
Ok boomer.
Greg's a really good man.
God bless the Gym owner he’s doing a great service
That chicken looked lovely 😍
you know this really is one of the saddest things i've seen
8:52 you see the point he realizes no one else is laughing lol
I wouldn't call them forgotten when they're trying to nick my phone
English people let themselves down, always blaming never want to take responsibility even the Polish Romanian and Lithuanian immigrants will surpassed them in 20 years because they work hard.
Safia Khan the problem isn’t the white immigrants, and everyone, including on some level these kids, knows that.
😂😂”Don’t film me I got no teeth”😬🤣
Ali Dhejow 🤣🤣😬
Grew up in that part of the world. Seems like nothing has changed since I was a kid. I’m glad I’m not there anymore.
I grown up on the the streets of Manchester as an orphan an now I'm a successful businessman with my own company at the age of 36 years old the poverty of Manchester has become greater but doesn't mean we take it out on the next person you make the most of what you've got and have positive outlook and desire to succeed yes i do agree that the immigration system is messed up over the last few years a good lesson that we all can learn from is thinking about am I a good person can I help another person my answer is yes we all can so in other words stop stop being so depressed an self centred thinking you are the the next big thing get up an show everyone around you that I am better I can achieve anything
I will always have love from the city that I was born in
Stay strong are kid
One love mcr 🐝

Greg is a hero
The lads speak excellent English. It's heartfelt and colourful. It's streetspeak. Unfortunately, it won't get them a decent job!
Went to an onboarding session at Amazon last year, with about 30 other people. It was around 50/50 immigrants and locals. When asked if anyone thought they’d fail the drugs test, 6 of the local lads put their hands up. When asked to provide proof of right to work and NI Number, these same lads hadn’t brought any even though it stated these were required in the email that was sent before the session.
If you want to know why immigrants get jobs over people who live here, it’s because they don’t turn up high to recruitment sessions and they bring the correct paperwork.
dont film me iv got no teeth in 🤣🤣🤣 I cant breath my nan wouldn't be seen dead without her teeth and hair done
I understand what these lads are saying, give them a chance, a start in life they deserve, plz do not labell them as bad, listen to them, hear what they have to say.
I always thought Britain never experienced this type of poverty or despair but this series has really opened my eyes. Is the problem entitlement or is there a genuine societal concern?
It's down to culture - a lack of respect for knowledge, betterment or education - If you listen to Chris Rocks set about 'N***** and black people' it is exactly the same - if you wanted to hide your money in your house - you could hide it in a book because you can bet your life that none of these have ever read a book in their life - this was fine not so long ago, there was factories, mines, work - you left school at 15 and started work the following Monday - there was no need for people to educate themselves to go forward - but now they have to and though most people have got the memo - there is still a significant minority who refuse to see the light - so it's easier to blame people who are self-reliant (immigrants..) than reflect on themselves.
In the UK STILL - you have access to many educational and vocational courses up and down the country in many FE colleges that are either heavily subsidised or free that can lead to further opportunities, do you think any of these partake? No - they don't and they won't because there is still a vacuum they can enter where they can blame immigrants and they're catered to. The facts are that immigration has been the favourite dog whistle for idiots since the sixties when the immigrant population was in their hundreds of thousands.
The culture needs to change and their attitudes to self improvement and education. I wanted to be world heavyweight boxing champion as a kid but education was the only way out of the estate I was holed up in. All these people have big dreams of making it out but they will usually be nonsensical - the only way forward for us all is to pick up a book and start learning.
2:05 We need a working class army but non of us are working 👍😅😅
Try learning to speak properly, grow a pair and get a job like the rest of us.
There's people like this near me, they live with single mums on benefit, so no rent or Council tax, they 'do up' cars and sell them on the street for cash, sell dope, steal whatever is about, and spend all day driving around in their Subaru's and Honda's, or on mountain bikes. I work all week, Sundays too sometimes and they have better phones than me, better cars, better clothes. Pisses me off, but no way I'd want that life, it catches up with you in the end.
I am polish, everywhere i go nowadays there are begging for staff to apply. Including NHS that i used to work for. The truth is that the team is only as strong as the weakest player so if you see people going for a free ride on your hard work you say goodbye and go play for a better team.
Needs more episodes
I want some chicken now
If you want an English owned chippy, open one yourself. Change starts with you
