bald and bankrupt

3 ай бұрын

🇬🇧 Britain; the world's sixth biggest economy. But what is life like for the average Brit outside of the capital city? Well, I went to investigate and what I found wasn't too promising. Join me on a journey into the provinces of this once great country for what might be my most brutal adventure yet...
Thanks to ‪@BackpackerBen‬ for driving me around and please check his channel for his version of the trip.

As a Janner I can say he showed the absolute worst of Plymouth. Firstly the parts he shown (Union Street) is not the city centre. Secondly yes it's run down and sadly left to rot but it has been earmarked as part of the Millbay regeneration program which is still ongoing (albeit taking forever). Plymouth as a whole is a great place to live with great sea views, parks, woodland, many restaurants, not a bad nightlife and is central to many little known beaches a short drive away. Even the the football team ain't too shabby these days :)

Sad to see her still on soho now Im 21 now , I dont live in brum and I work in cars, that's why its even sadder to know I'm the only one out of the 200+ in that hostel that turned his life around.

There are tonnes of things that are better in the rain, running, walking, camping etc. not like belting it down rain though. It torrentially downpours in Australia for example leading to flooding we never experience but I guess we ignore that. We don't get hurricanes or storm surges that frequently, again ignored.

I live in Horden, cannot believe it! Can't imagine seeing Bald walk around the streets here! For context these houses, First Street - Thirteenth Street were once for pit workers who received them as part of their job. These streets were very desirable to live once upon a time. When the mines closed, a lot of them were bought by private landlords, on the cheap, who rented them out and simply do not care for the upkeep - a lot of locals then left for neighbouring towns as Horden started to become rundown. These streets are now derelict because the council wants to knock them down and replace with new housing. The rest of Horden isn't too bad, it's just become a hotbed for petty crime, theft and drug use as it's felt the effects of austerity with little investment and opportunity here. Most of the villages around here are the same unfortunately. You couldn't wish to meet a friendlier bunch of people though!

Brexit happened precisely because lots of people live in places like this - deindustrialised wastelands - and they hoped that by taking back control, things might change for the better. They didn't just turn to crap overnight in 2016. How do you lot still not understand what it was about?

I think that German woman summed it up quite well: unless you have a little bit more money than average to compensate, you’re going to struggle. As someone that has done a bit of travelling to a few European countries recently, especially to countries that on the face of it we as Brits would probably looked down our noses at, the quality of life, the infrastructure, the culture, the cost of various different things from rail travel to pints of beer, are miles ahead of the UK and as someone who has become very disillusioned with the UK and concerned about how some certain things are going and how this will impact the future UK society, I have been exploring my “escape routes” so to speak. I don’t think the UK is the only country experiencing this decline; I would also argue that some our nearest neighbours are also going through it. However, I think the difference between us and our neighbours is that our neighbours are prepared to do something about it because they still have unwavering pride in their country. Unfortunately, I see very little evidence of this pride and willingness to do something about it in the UK. We have instead adopted this fatalistic attitude of the damage being already done and that there is very little chance of anything changing so we may as well focus on other things and whatever will be will be. It’s incredibly sad.

France does seem to be in a similar situation. But there's still way less litter scattered around. On the last couple of self drive trips to the alps it seems the roads and countryside in France are in a much better condition but some of their towns look very run down on the outskirts, more so than places I've visited in England I would say. Obviously I'm not a massive expert from my two recent road trips mind. I was also lucky enough to do a small ski trip to Norway at Christmas, and what a amazingly beautiful place that is. I would move there in a heartbeat even with the minus 20 winters. That said a country 3x larger than Britain with a population the same as Scotland isn't going to be litteted mess like overcrowded England 😩

Now Britain is unrecognisable and the people of Britain deserve so much more. It is going to take a working class man/woman with pride to lead a revolution and rip down that horrendous government and rebuild.

You've walked around the roughest part of easily one of the best places in the UK to live. Where is the Barbican in your video? The Royal William Yard? The large Victorian houses surrounding the area around the University? The Hoe? West Hoe? The river Plym? Plymstock, Plympton, Wembury? The new village of Sherford? Anyone can go to a Mosside equivalent of any town and call it all the names you did. As a previous resident I've been longing to go back to this great town for decades. It's suffered since the airport closed but most non commuter cities have in their own way declined, but that doesn't take away from the fact that Plymouth is big, beautiful and packed with awesome people. The city has sooo much to offer, anyone considering visiting this place should ignore your video and go and see it for themselves. It also has arguably one of the best pubs in the country The Dolphin Inn, which sits on an historic road facing the Mayflower Steps. There's so much there for all, don't write it off.

Thing about Britain and the criminal behaviour is that there is no fear. The police are generally useless at dealing with anything perceived as ‘low-level.’ We are though however relatively successful at preventing large scale gangs. Obviously drug gangs exist, but (fortunately in many ways) they don’t really control all aspects of large regions of the country like the mafia or some gangs do like in Peru. Whilst that system is worse in many ways, it does kind of keep down petty crime to some degree in that the petty criminals are scared of someone. Obviously not just Britain but much of the west, the situation is that these small time petty crims basically run the place and get away with anything with impunity.

Britain was spearheading the scientific technology and Education in the world. I have huge interest in pursing my post graduation in aboard. Previously i have included Britain in that list. But the situation of Scientific research is getting worse there, not plenty of Good jobs available for Engineers also. Unemployment rate is also increasing. So, i shifted my plan to Germany instead. German language is menace for Asian people 😆. Hope,Britain will overcome this situation.
