Micro VanLife S05E23 Lowestoft : The Cwmbrân of England

Although I only worked in Lowestoft half as long as I worked in Cwmbrân, it certainly felt like it.
Join me on a guided walking tour of the UK's most easterly town.
This formerly great prosperous fishing and shipping town has been devastated by successive governments, with the New World Order's Great Reset appearing to be the last straw.

Keep it low key with your message as you are, a few subliminal realities whilst documenting.. You never know who you might help.. We all must help each other now.. Names josh nice to meet you in the digital realm.

[@SocksWithSandals]

You know what I'm doing, Josh. Vanlife, tourism and slob comedy are just the cover for the true message: Wake up we're being culled.

[@DUB-sential]

@@SocksWithSandals I know my friend its a very sobering reality, an uneasy one at that.. As Albert pike put it ww3 will be unconventional war.. The sad reality is the UN came off the back of ww2 and here we are, who really won.. Was it Rothschild backing both horses, by all accounts Israel are having a shit time also came about off the back of the war. An interesting film I watched starring our favourite bottom character rik mayall.. Called one by one described exactly the present , he died shortly after its release.. Its on lbry if you want to watch it.

They are terrified of us waking up in large numbers and finding out what their plan is before they can finish it. But with 50% of UK adults already vaccinated, and most Israelis...

[@DUB-sential]

@@SocksWithSandals who knows who's vaccinated I suspect many are, Never trust they're numbers.. Its the military and police we need waking up.. If this doesn't work that'll be next but I suspect they will have blue helmets. It really is the wizard of oz.. Little old men can't fight they're own battles, cowards.

You didn't mention the fact that when you visited , all non essential retail, charity shops, pubs etc were all closed due to lockdown- you know, the one that affected all of England..... a lot of these places you said have "closed down" are actually trading again now that restrictionsare lifted. The town is nowhere near as bad as you make out to be.....

Half vomit half comment

[@RB-mq6em]

Lowestoft certainly has its problems, but this is a cheap shot. Why kick a place while it’s down?

[@SocksWithSandals]

I blamed successive government failures. The EU took the fishing, for example.

[@RB-mq6em]

I agree with that. I’m just not sure that going round filming down alleys and the very depleted town centre whilst making unkind comments really makes that point. There are lots of funding projects being lined up for the town which would have been interesting to hear your take on. But I realise this is just my opinion and it’s evidently a minority one in this comment section!

[@SocksWithSandals]

How many project were "lined up" in the past to get to this state, RB?

[@RB-mq6em]

Very few! I entirely agree with what you’re saying here in the comments; what’s happened to Lowestoft and similar places down the years should be a matter of national disgrace. I’m just saying I hoped your video would argue those points instead of simply inviting people to point and laugh.

[@SocksWithSandals]

Then make your own video about the empty promises of politicians "in the pipeline" for Lowestoft and ignore what I saw.
