The worst area in Liverpool (socially & economically)

[@Wellygigs]

1995 worked for British gas..sent from Lancashire to Liverpool to a customer.. Didn't have sat navs back then. Stopped at a bus stop and asked a guy where such a place was,,,, he jumped in the passenger seat and proceeded to direct me for the next 5 miles.to the customers doorstep..the customer then made me bacon egg on toast and a brew.

Those victorian houses looked after will last another 100 years. Sad so many people in b+b waiting for a home. Councils need to buy up the houses thay could get grants to make them liveable again.

[@Muflinn]

What are you talking about? England has a good social welfare, there are countries where people get 100 pounds a month from the state and that's it, people in England don't appreciate what they get and don't want to work that's why they sleep on the streets, everyone here wants everything for free with taxpayers' money, so explain to me why we have to work for these people because they are too lazy to start any job? Then you meet such people on the street and they are still rude or aggressive to you and you pay them with your taxes for alcohol, weed and Netflix. I have a neighbor across the street, she got a new, freshly built house from the Council, after 2 years she turned this house into a ruin, there is a garbage can in front of the house and rats appeared, the girl doesn't work because why? We will pay for everything, right? But it's time for parties, drugs, alcohol always has it, come down to earth, every person has their own life in their hands, if you do nothing in your life, you have no goals, you end up on the street, of course I'm not talking about everyone but in most cases that's how it is.

[@mirandamcmanus2097]

@Muflinn agree. But to have decent housing going to waste that just needs a referb is sad. Same where we live with the new builds. In days gone by first home given by council was a flat or maisonette then after so many years if you've look after your property you could go on a housing list for a house if you wanted to. What the problem is most councils don't own any houseing stock anymore. They sold them years ago. It's housing associations now for most towns or cities. For some, the house associations are not located where they own the housing, so know nothing of the problems when giving out like they do. Gone are the days were nice housing estates where everyone appreciated having a nice house with a garden in a nice area. Because it took that long to receive one. Not only did you have to live in a flat or maisonette first. Then you went on a list for a house which could take many years.

​@@Muflinnthing is when Councils decide to give Neighbourhoods a total refurb the Natives usually do the same to the new houses built for them, same shit different day seen it too many times in my life to know that won't ever change unless people change.

[@11thHourRecords]

For anyone who wonders how quickly this area went downhill .... Google street view provides the answer. The street featured here is around "Holmes Street", Liverpool. The history option using street view reveals how the place looked as recently as September 2008. At that point in time it was an everyday traditional terraced area. It's galling to fast-forward to latest (August 2022) and see the degree of degeneration that happened in just a few years.

[@Met182]

Just looking on Street View now and August 2022 there's a guy sat outside his house on a camping chair with so much litter on the street in front of him. The people who live there need to take responsibility for their area, get some gloves and get a bag and start picking it up. The mentality of "hey why don't we all get together and clean up where we live" just doesn't exist with some people.

[@11thHourRecords]

Agreed, sadly it doesn't take many people intent on trashing the area to make those who care give up (and leave). It starts to look like we're witnessing the formation of new "sink estates" caused by (possibly council) dumping of unwanted people into specific neighbourhoods. @@Met182

The work you're doing, the compassion and intelligence you show is an inspiration, Billy. You're moving into working class hero territory, my friend. What we're seeing is the symptoms of a very sick and unequal society. This is a class war, mate, it's being waged by the establishment against the people of our class, our neighbourhoods. It's been like this since we were growing up in the 70s, mate. It's not the migrants, the disabled, the poor, the homeless that's the problem behind these symptoms of social decay, degradation and despair; no, it's the establishment and their research foundations along with the corporate lobbyists and the mainstream media that backs them up. The media do lie but mostly they just spin things in favour of these fuckers who've been exploiting and oppressing the people of our class for decades, if not centuries, Billy. But the main job of media is to hide the truth of our experiences whilst telling us some story about, 'if you work hard you'll do well and live the dream; but try getting out of the nightmare first. Well done mate, you're making a very important, very valuable documentary about the reality of daily life for the people of our class. Keep up this very important work, buddy. I salute you!

[@Al-ou3so]

Get real, man! The immigrants are DEFINITELY a part of the problem. Legal and illegal immigration needs to be stopped. The political class, British policing, and MSM are obviously core issues. But don’t go down the “oh, my brothers from other lands are in the same struggle as us” bs. White people are being imprisoned for mere words or memes. They’re thrown into the lions den for having dissident political opinions. Non-whites are allowed to commit the most heinous crimes and in many cases, avoid prison time completely. Judging from what you’ve put, I wouldn’t be surprised if you believed in some Socialist Utopian fantasy.

Different part of l8

[@Chigleybus]

That's a step up if you're arriving from Romania, Somalia, Afghanistan or any other similar shithole that we've imported the millions of immigrants from across the UK. So really, what else can we expect. L8, both the Dingle side and the Parliament Street side, used to be a community of Liverpool people, some black some white, and it wasnt that long ago. Now it's just somewhere to avoid while you to get to where you're going. An indictment of the so-called governments, local and national, across the past 40 years.

[@Jeff1photo]

I lived in Holmes Street from 1957 to 1960 from birth to 3 years old. I've done videos on the area myself. It was never like this back then, as others have said although it was a poor area, people had pride in their homes. I have a photo of Holmes Street from around 1999-2000 and there was some graffiti but nothing like it is now. So it's turned into a shit tip in the last 20 years. Great video Billy!

No-one wants to tackle tough issues that take time and money to fix such as helping immigrants bed into our society and understand our way of life. Immigrants get shoved into the same area with little or no education regarding our way of life and help in terms of education generally and training to get a job. This leaves them skint and bored so what are they going to do? Exactly the same thing happened to Irish Catholics in the 19th century and happened again with Caribbean folks in the 1950's. Similar has also happened with Asians in Leicester, Brum, Bradford and London. The MP's haven't been useless deliberately, it's our system which hasn't helped things!

The Liverpool Labour party has turned the city into ghettoes populated by the worlds worst. Vote REFORM, Before it's too late.

Our local MP does the same for our local roads. Also they will collect things for those who need items taken the tip. I am Liverpool. Not a chance would our Liverpool Council do that.

Can’t the City Council use the empty houses for the homeless?

[@dougaldouglas8842]

I am going to have to visit, again, Everton part of Liverpool as when I lived just the other side of Stanley Park, there were literally hundreds of houses boarded up, council had tenants relocate. The area was to be bulldozed, but for the two years I was there nothing happened. Liverpool is a lovely place, just the council lets it down, as do all councils, you should see Birkenhead shopping area and market as to what Wirral Council has done. I have seen worse, around the country, far worse, and some areas you just do not go into as there is no possibility of you walking out

Just stumbled on this podcast.. Brilliant... Brings back great memories.. I'm from pwllheli in Wales..my mams a scouser. We used to go to my mams sisters for holidays. To visit our cousins.. And our aunty pat and uncle Eddie... In Lawrence Road... In the late 70s early 80s I used to love it... There was a big laundry there and a railway bridge at the end of the street.. Exciting for us kids from a small town... There was a Chinese chippy there.. I went in asked how much for chips...... Lady behind the counter shouts 1 chip 1p...😂.. It was rough there but we loved it... Lots of love to our cousins Eddie Julie tony Sharon and Yvonne... Sconhead ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@rjflores438]

Honestly parts of Liverpool now resemble rough and run down parts of Baltimore and Philadelphia in the U.S, luckily even the roughest parts of Liverpool doesnt have the same level of gun crime as both those cities though.

[@stephensmith799]

And Detroit.

[@rjflores438]

@@stephensmith799 Detroit is very run down in parts but it doesnt have the same style of houses as in Philly and Baltimore. Philadelphia and Baltimore as they are on the East Coast, have the terraced houses in a very similar style to in Liverpool, Manchester and Leeds. Alot of the houses in inner city Philadelphia especially are boarded up like they are in more deprived parts of Liverpool.

[@stephensmith799]

@@rjflores438 it’s tragic. Liverpool has lost half its population since the mid 1960s, mostly I think to reduction in port activity and containerisation. Although I wax a Remainer, I admit that joining the EU wasn’t good for Liverpool whose trade was mostly to and from non-EU countries and especially former British colonies such as New Zealand and Australia. Perhaps a genuine Liverpudlian can confirm this🤔

The council want to stop charging for bulkie bob service this is why people are dumping all over the place. It cost me 40 pound to get bulkie bob. And the homes that are boarded up it a waste coz they could be council homes for people that need them keep up the good work Billy love watching the pod cast.

I agree with a lot of what you have said. Didn't the Council,a few years ago,sell houses in Liverpool for a pound?

[@meganstewart9062]

[@azazel1893]

There was a murder in that area in 1905, think it was quite well known at the time. A girl named Elizabeth Peers was murdered and her body was dumped in Cullen Street. Her family lived at 64 Wendell Street but the parents were alcoholics. They sent her to the shop late at night so it was no wonder. The killer was never caught either.

[@Muflinn]

I also live near Liverpool, I have to say that the people I meet every day are detached from reality and live in some kind of illusion, on one street you can meet a dozen or so families where no one works, people without jobs and without any values turn into walking zombies, zero good manners, poor education and living on benefits are the causes of new generations of pathology, there are so many thieves in this country that sometimes I wonder where I live, here you can't even go to the park in the evening or leave your bike in front of a shop because someone will steal it, the kids on the streets are totally pathological, they pick on people for no reason, they ride bikes on one wheel all day, sell drugs and look for trouble, in 3rd world countries it's identical only with the difference that there people fight for survival and here they do bad things out of simple laziness. The streets look like garbage dumps, most people probably don't know what the garbage cans are for, abandoned houses, shops, ruins, I don't know what will happen to this country in 10 years, I think we should start working more and saving up for an apartment and move to another country because it's getting more and more dangerous here. It's very sad 😢

When I was a kid I found a diamond engagement ring in the street took it to the police station and they gave it back to the girl who lost it who was Chinese from the local chippy. That is how normal people behave and you contributed to making your city shit. That was in Dingle mate not some posh area

[@WyeExplorer]

Cheers there Billy-I enjoyed that mate. It's seen better days eh? I lived in your town going back to 89-early 90's. I first went into Granby to score - I remember a crew of black guys sorting me out. My mate was freaking but I was cool with em. Later, I spotted em in a club and they turned to me saying, 'safe.' Of course it could have been different with a different crew but I took my risks. During my time I'd also get sorted down the Heights at Netherley and I would party at the Quad. My closest party crew though was Grin Up North and DJ Vertigo. I had an awesome time in Liverpool. It would be the central influence in me and my dear late twin brother Paul doing raves in Mid Wales. Yeah, a tough town but it inspired me - I met so many great people. It's in my upcoming book, 'The Sight of Two' about twins in small town England. I'm from Hereford although my family were the fighting kind, namely the regiment SAS, which is also in the book. I love your podcasts mate - it's real and full of spirit, real life and good will. We too got clean and I now spend my time in other wild places outdoors. Take care out there. Mark
