No MSM company will do this, interview and just talk to people. The truth is like a caged animal to them and they will not let it out. So huge respect to you for the work you do.
I remember watching a middleclass Sky News reporter stick a TV camera in an old woman's face on her doorstep, I think it was somewhere near Bolton, asking her what she thinks of how things have changed. She said everything was fine, no problems - as if she'd have been able to say anything as the new teens were cycling about outside. When a working class lad's reporting on these areas, they just open up without any fear, because they can see he's not stupid nor oblivious to the environment.
It's needed. Veitch, DJE Media, Wandering Turnip are also worth watching. Different approachs. The Guardian occasionaly tries, but even then they can't help telling the interviewees what's good for them. The elite exist in a bubble, where they extort from the peasants, and are protected, when the peasants aren't.
Absolutely spot on. Journalism is gagged in the modern world. It's no longer a case of get the story out to the people its "how will we present the story to the people and then ensure every other media outlet is following the same line."
@@sweeneytodd011 Journalism is controlled. Look at the coordinated stories over riots as one example. Someone's pulling strings. The rest of the time, they are lazy. Some comment because comment is cheap. The rest is regurgitating press releases. Example, the Gorton killings the other day. Where's the news since? None. However, I know the names, that 2 not 1 have died, who did it, and who the other victim is. Why won't the MSM do its job?
I’ve learnt more about this case from a witness than anything I’ve seen on the news. Reporting on the ground is a thing of the past, so thank you for doing the job of the media.
Maybe it's the future of journalism. We can no longer trust the media or the government or the police to tell the actual news, better if local people go out and speak to everyday people and put it online. Modern journalism has been hijacked and gagged.
Thank you.Myah is my Grand daughter..some people are saying that she shouldnt of spoke as it compromises the case...not at all..Myah and her mother have both been interviewed by the police as key witnesses..myah has not mentioned names...and i would rather hear the full story straight from the horses mouth than read aload of made up rubbish in the papers...im proud of my daughter and grand daughter. .
@@lynnseville2379 you can be very proud of her. She handled the situation with dignity and respect and she explained the situation articulately. Totally professionally considering everything she went through herself. I send my humble appreciation to the impressive young woman. Hope she is doing ok 👍
I’m from Salford born and raised there. My mother had a vision for a better future for us and when I was eighteen she put me on a plane to Texas to visit friends of hers. That was in 1983 now I’m sixty years old and still living in Texas (retired). When I go back to visit my sister it’s sad to see the pubs are all gone and a lot of the shops are boarded up. I feel very lucky that my mother had that vision but very sad for my sisters who still live there.
I was born and raised in Salford too and still living here it has changed alot since I was born in 1989 lots of people who lived on the estate have moved out the area. What part of salford was you raised 😁
@@drewsbenmad your mother was wise just dont be complacent its on your doorstep. For me its florida or texas maybe israel or poland but if starmer stays we in uk are fffkd
Without citizen journalists like yourself, we wouldn't get to know about these terrible problems. Thanks for the report. We are governed by incompetent traitors.
we have been governed by people who have been spinning the wheels of the EU for thirty plus years. This is the same across every member state. Every single nation looked away from their own voters.
If our voices were not blocked on social medias you would know about the patterns of criminal behaviors to guard from amongst what particular aggression groups.
I recently left the Gorton area to move to the Peak District. The final straw was walking past a passed out drug addict with a needle still in his arm at 8am with my two young girls. I’ve lived in some rough places in my time but Manchester was a joke. The people, pollution, politics, policing, mindset and violence is a disgrace. And for some reason the housing prices are high. You couldn’t pay me to live there
im thinking of moving to the lake district i want peace and countryside and houses are fairly priced compared to other places. how are you finding living there
First thing I see everywhere . ..houses are all draped in the windows...folk sitting behind closed curtains. Living in the dark....hiding from each other and trying to stay safe indoors. 😢
Never noticed at first but your right....speak volumes about how far the country has gone downhill...far cry away from leaving your doors and windows open all day which used to be the norm
Years ago when there was a death on the street in the community, natural or otherwise people would all draw their curtains for a period of time as a mark of respect. It was a common practice and I've seen it happen in more modern times living in the North West after the death of a young boy everyone had their curtains drawn for a day or two.
@@sweeneytodd011 I can give a little background or history about the curtain drawing after a death. This "tradition" with curtain drawing was created as a mark of respect to a deceased person and/or to the family of the deceased to give them privacy and time to grieve properly without prying eyes. It became a thing in the 18th Century in the UK (maybe in some other parts of the world too) because of the amount of people dying due to health issues and deteriorating conditions at the time. There are other "traditions" we have with different coloured curtains but you can look that up online yourselves if you want to know more about it.
To be perfectly honest, it is not the poverty that causes this. I grew up in poverty but back when I was a child my parents took a pride in their surrounding area. They didn’t drop litter they swept the pavement in front of their house and kept everything clean and tidy. In other words they respected their country. Children were given love and attention and discipline. Something sadly lacking in today’s society where parents typically ignore the children their minds on their in their phones all the time. I am Scottish but i live in Manchester and all I hear is people shouting that they are proud to be English, well if you’re proud to be English clean up your act and clean up your country, because right now it’s one large slum and absolutely nothing to be proud of. Things need to change. When I was young, police walked their beats and they knew everyone in their communities. Now they sit in cars, detached from everyone in their area, not knowing anyone. The days where police protected and served are gone. So the government needs to change the laws and allow people to protect and serve themselves, because right now the law states that if we protect ourselves, we are the ones charged with assault. Apparently, we are just meant to stand there and allow someone to take a machete or a knife to us; a have at it kind of thing. Well, not this lady, come at me with a machete and I’ll hurt you, law be damned. Until the police get back to walking their beats and protecting the citizens that live there, I’ll protect myself. Period.
Those resources where stolen by voting in tory for 14 years thry stole everything and the people believed them that it's the poor that are the problem.
Well said. Civic responsibility for our own areas these day is pathetic. People used to take pride in where they lived. And, the imports don’t care one iota.
It's interesting reading what you are saying and I agree whole heartedly. I had some students come to my academy in the UK from Sweden and they said they could not believe the state of the streets and the litter everywhere.
@@mrfreeseatdon't be so nasty she obviously experience something terrible..........she tried to help she won't shake off that experience very easily.....

NOPE!! London and Cornwall are both BANGING if you have a reasonable income with sense to match. London gets on with EVERYTHING regardless of the negativity. Cornwall is just beautiful, as long as you ain’t broke. Most other places are garbage though. Brum, Leicester, Liverpool etc
Great video again Billy - this should be compulsory viewing for our out of touch middle class, public schools, universities and our pathetic politicians.
@nothingtofear You really think they give a rat's. They have their gated communities with their security paid for by the taxpayer on yearly incomes and perks it would take you a lifetime to earn. It is a class conscious boys club that you will never enter. You are exactly where they want you. Like religion it is all about control and financial gain. You will own nothing and you will be happy.
It never used to be like this, the part I am in used to be quiet, no trouble, but now its turning into as hell hole with all the fresh off the boat new arrivals, my partner and I are going to sell up and go as all the houses around us have been bought up and used for social housing, unfortunately they are not the most considerate of people who have moved in, besides the language barrier they just dont consider other people.
@@braddo7270 Are you crazy? Wembley Rd part has always been a dump where hardly anyone works and West Gorton has only improved cos of the new housing which are mainly owned by Chinese, African and Arab immigrants, before that the houses were boarded up for years and the council couldn't give them away as it was such a bad area
@@manni192 I lived on sandown street until literally last week... you're creating an issue where there isn't one. Multiple ethnicities isn't the issue... anti british ideologies are. As I said it depends on the area. The "bad" area is where all the Muslims are.
Hearing the story of the 8 year old girl hiding in the bushes, praying, after witnessing her brother murder their mother, brought tears to my eyes. I will be praying for that family.
Everyone can't be wrong about how everythings changed in our communities. People have changed I don't know why we all see and feel it. Why governments are denying these change's is beyond me. That's why people are angry because their not being listened to. Good job Bill👊☘️
They genuinely think we are stupid and they can propaganda and gaslight us into thinking its not as bad as we think, they don't realise we have our own eyes and ears, they don't realise how connected we are online these days, my eyes and ears will always trump what they try telling me
@@robbo8074You’re right mate, but the government think, so, what are you gonna do about it? They control mainstream media, you won’t see what Billy shows us, on the tele!
This is by far and away the most important and relevant channel on UA-cam. Billy talks to the people others dont/won't, he goes to places others dont/won't. The problems in this country are deep and as much as political parties talk the words.....that is all it is..Words. Billy holds a torch onto those areas and people that have (for whatever reason) not seen investment/growth or opportunities put their way and with years of stagnation or decline have found themselves where they are today. Billy....thank you so much for your work and efforts. Stay safe brother.
First thing that hits you is how many Broken souls a filling the streets its so sad that Every single one of them has resigned themselves to a lost life and depend on drugs and crime in some cases to feed that existence , SO SAD. THE GOVERNMENT DONT WANT TO HELP THEM THEY JUST LEAVE THEM TO DEMINISH what has society become Thanks for posting these videos and hopefully one day Society will approach the un approachable and give them the Help they obviously need
@@VicFlange Have you truly woke up? let me ask you a question: which group is it that run the UK and are attempting to erase the english people and replace them with foreigners?
A lot of people were fed a pack of lies when growing up: You can do what you want to do. Be what you want to be. Raise a happy loving family. Own your own home. Get well paid, for a job you enjoy. When the reality sets in, no matter how hard you work, if you come from a broken family, have no money and receive a second rate education, your basically knackered. This is where reality kicks in and the three D’s. Despondency, desperation, dependency.
We turned our backs on YHVH God, we told Him we didn't need Him and THIS is the result. This nation as a corporate body, needs to repent and turn back to the Lord God Almighty. We are running out of time, this fallen world is almost done, call on Him while you still can.

Respect to that young girl neighbour who was telling you what happened. Great video my friend thanks a lot for going there and bringing us content like this.
My mum lived in Gorton for the last few years of her life. I used to visit her when I was on leave. One time, I went in a pub around the corner from her house and literally within 30 seconds it kicked off, people going behind the bar fighting with the bar staff. Me and my mate made a quick exit 😂
@@spursp2321 can’t say for sure what it is like today but about 18 year ago it was off the scale. Very rough and dangerous place for sure back then even in the daytime.
Loving your channel, from one scouser to another. You're doing the reporting on the real state of the country that both the media and political class wants to brush under the carpet. Great work.
Thank you to yourself, the channel and also to the young lady who gave the interview. She was clear, concise and without bias or speculation and considering the personal trauma she must have gone through and will no doubt continue to have an effect on her I hope she and others who need it seek and receive the necessary post traumatic assistance available. Tragic situation well covered and handled. If only our actual press had the same integrity and dedication to their work in reporting the news to the people. Modern journalism has lost its way and is ruled by corporate politics instead of simple journalism.
I grew up in moston in the 80s and 90s, back then all the shops on moston lane was family owned businesses, everyone knew each other. Saturdays was shopping day on the lane with all that you would need to get you through the week, neighbours was the second family members and would look out for each other, you needed sugar and milk you just shouted over the wall to borrow some. Never had any issues growing up there, yes I might have been a feral kid, but I always listened and respected my elders! Now moston is referred to has mostonbique ? Everything changes and moston has been followed suit.
I'm from Moston and grew up on Winston Road. In the 80s, it was a decent place to live, but drugs took the area in the 90s, and it turned into a shithole from then. There's too many places in Manchester as bad as Moston nowadays.
I'm the 80s it was not a decent place to live. What crap are you talking about? In the 80s Moston was a drug addicted theiving area. I worked there for 30 years.
The drugs hit Manchester in the mid 90s the most you would find is someone smoking abit of rocky and piss heads around 95 early 2000 thousands was when the rot we see today started
I agree, I was born in moston in the 60s when it was quite a decent place. It's heartbreaking what's happened to the UK , except for the more affluent areas of course.
@yesyoureright I was a child during the 80s, and that was my experience. I used to be out from morning until dark, especially in the summer, and we barely had any problems, and our parents seemed to think we would be ok. That was all parents, by the way, so that's why I believe it was decent in that era. Maybe it was just the community I lived in where everyone knew each other and on the whole looked out for each other.
Born and raised there from 83. Left around 2000, mum and dad left last year. It was great bsck im the early 90s, there was drugheads but most people knew each other, maybe i see ir different as i was a kid back then but it has got a lot worse in recent times
I grew up around Gorton in the 1960's and went to school just at the back of where you were filming. I honestly don't remember it being that much different. There were stabbings back then. There were murders back then. Don't forget that's where the Moors murderers were from orginally. During the 1970's there was investment into the areas but by the 1980's it was just as bad. I lived next to drug dealers in the 1980's and the streets were filthy back then. I lived in Gorton until the early 90's and couldn't let my kids play out on the street because there were crack addicts on the street corners. I eventually moved out to the suburbs where I live now but even there there are pockets of crime. It isn't the lack of investment. It's the individual people who make bad choices, a lack of education and a lack of awareness that there is a different way to live. I don't pretend to know what the answer is. You can invest into an area but unless the people take pride in what they have it will soon deteriorate back into squalor. In this country there seems to be a mentality that the government should look after you and that mentality is worse in deprived areas. It's almost like learned helplessness where people think that is their lot in life and they they can't escape it so take no responosility whatsoever for their own surroundings or their own behaviour.
"I am the way, the truth and the life" Jesus Christ circa 33AD. He is the ONLY WAY that works. If only people would realise He loves them and He wants them in eternity WITH HIM.
@@AndrewFosterSheff69 Religion is a social construct designed primarily for control and financial gain. Born out of superstitions in that what people did not or could not understand they were scared of and called to deities to allay those fears. Worldwide and regionally it is divisive and has caused more death and destruction over millennia than any plague or virus has ever done. My god is better than your god is still killing millions in this day and age.
I get really embarrassed by my own country when I hear that China with its massive population has almost no murders, almost no crime, no druggies, almost no homeless, almost no poverty anymore, and the people can walk their city streets alone at night without any fear or danger.
China continues to heavily rely on the death penalty, with the highest number of convictions and executions in the world. The country’s criminal law is severe, with many crimes punishable by death. Also have forced labour camps for people who are a problem and a lot of them never get out or disappear. Biggest surveillance state on the planet like the stasi in East Germany. Bit like North Korea but more wealthy.
I use to live in Gorton in the 60s, 70, 80s and 90s, when it was a lovely Place. It was very clean. The gardens were kept tidy and all my neighbors knew each otherm I use to walk down Barndard road to school. It was so safe then. It's so sad how it's gone.
Shootings stabbings are common lived in Manchester all my life just sometimes it makes the news so everyone gets to see unfortunately nothing new

Weird, shootings and stabbings are not that common in Russia and China. Nations way bigger than the UK. Yes, they do happen, but they're way less noticeable in daily life there.
I was from moston I remember it was a beautiful community with good family’s lovely diverse shops before it was turned it into a cesspit of drugs drunks crime ,trapping many good people unable to escape ,count the hair dressers that should give you a clue well done to the councils for turning it into ghetto , and I thought that knocked down building was grade 2 protected ,god help us all from what is happening to our towns and streets it’s like a disease slowly consuming the life out of everything good turning it into a 3rd world before moving onto the next town and it’s happening before our very eyes.
That building was Hough Hall. A beautiful Tudor building back in the day but unfortunately sits on land that is prime for shoving flats onto it. An overseas buyer got it based on planning permission to build those flats but couldn’t afford the upkeep of the hall. I suspect that a few quid was handed out to the local scroats to destroy it bit by bit until it was declared unsafe. That buyer passed the hall on.
Mental healths one of the heaviest things for a family go through, an then getting no help from an underfunded and overworked NHS, it can really make you feel like your on your own... it's sad to see another family destroyed for ever..🙏 RIP...
Its the PFI that went turbo with Blair that has crippled it along with UK PLC no longer running as a productive Country which happens when you give your manufacturing base away
@@judithcressey1682 The Government says the NHS is getting 'more money than ever', but this is highly misleading. Annual increases have not taken account of inflation, nor the increasing needs of a growing and aging population with greater complex needs, and as for the mental health side of the NHS, that is virtually crippled, I've witnessed it first hand for the last two decades....
@@judithcressey1682There are over 7.5 million Brits on medical waiting lists. Tory NHS "funding" includes the multiple billions defrauded via the PPE scandals, and dont forget all the money funnelled out to private donor owned companies. Look at the MP's interest lists and you'll find Tories with shares and directorships in private health companies....So yeah the NHS is drastically underfunded. The Conservative party always destroy the infrastructure as a preparation for a sale. Although unlike Farage they don't say the quiet bit out loud about wanting a US style full NHS privitasation. Even stringing out the pay disputes has cost billions!
Its so true because i was a victim of it myself. Im from Manchester and growing up was the same, the music makes you want to become something. Very powerful. I only changed through meditation and awakening.
I was in Gorton last year for the first time in 20 odd years, I’m Scottish but always had family in and around that area. I walked from Gorton to Fallowfield and honestly felt 100% safe and passed a lot of friendly people that said hello to me on the journey. Mental health services need looked at badly, massive changes and cuts to the services in our lifetime
People please dont turn to drugs, alcohol or whatever else to escape whats going on. Call out to Jesus!.He is alive and all powerful and will be everything to you. I beg you what do you have to lose at this point?.Where else will you turn? He will answer you!! Im praying and crying everyday for all of you."Whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved/delivered."
My mom worked on Moston Lane and I was born on the border of Harpurhey and Blackley. Once, mainly indigenous working-class and not blighted by drugs and so forth. Now, the culture is in free fall - while rich individuals buy mansions in the city centre.
What culture? Drinking in pubs all day? That's what ruins areas. People become alcoholics because they follow so-called English culture. This then leads people to drugs and brings in the violence and gangs.
What the fuck are you on about? We've had an aggressively right-wing government in the UK for 14 years - the period in which social decline has spiralled out of control. If you mean "liberal" as in people who believe only in the free market and dog eat dog, then perhaps you have a point
Alot of locals refer to Moston as Mostonbique now.. because Rouge Landlords have filled the area with African families..this caused alot of outrage and aggro when it happened..but i for one think these good people are less of a threat, and less feral than the white lot they got rid off 😂 Ive lived in Moston for over 30 years..Great video btw Lar
I think I commented on one of your previous videos, but I'll say it again. I live in an area close to stockport (not far from gorton). makes me thankful for my community. not much litter, kids having fun playing outside, people saying hello, barely any crime (violent at least).

Hi Billy, one of the best podcasts I've seen in a while, bad situation but liked the fact you were on the ground investigating rather than hearsay. Well done.
I’ve family in Groton, other family that moved out a few years ago, lived in West Gorton myself many years ago for a short while ( where the very first Shameless series was filmed ), got the scar to prove it and that’s not just a saying. You get people that run an area down but most are good people, keep their house and garden, even the streets clean, just take a look at the streets around where that terrible event happened. Moston and New Moston are exactly the same, most just getting on with their lives but there’s others that don’t give a s#£t, a lot go down the wrong path in the suburbs of any town or city as you it’s the same in Liverpool, Birmingham etc. It’s at night when you see what these places are really like, they won’t like the camera though Billy.
@@derekibison6644 Well if you don't know and see what has gone on in the past 30 years then you must be part of the problem or choosing to ignore it which is evil!
Not a bird anywhere. Not even a sparrow the whole area looks run down and dead. Litter everywhere potholes in all the footpaths run down buildings and grotty shops. I left England in the mid 60s and this is not the place I remember as a child. To see things in this condition is quite heart-breaking actually I am lost for words.

We've just had a general election - the new government is tasked with cleaning up the mess caused by the last 14 years, so we don't need a 'rebellion' to make things more difficult.
When you subtract the interest payments on National debt along with long term liabilities like NHS +PFI, Education, Benefits, Pensions, Foreign Investment, you end up with little to pay the said interest on the Debt and local services such as street cleaning are a outcome of all that. National Debt currently £3 Trillion rising rapidly since Blair 1997. GDP is an allusion as it is all long term debt.

Hello Billy. I don't know you but I've come across your channel on UA-cam. I've nothing but admiration for your courage and in a way your human contact with others who you do not know but have a common link with having been in some of the same situations with. Your strength of character shines through your engagements with people of all faiths, colours, genders, etc. Your view of life through your camera shows a frightening scenario of the breakdown state of society. Thankyou for your efforts in enlightening people who watch your channel, as to what is happening in society in many cities today.

The guy "is known to the family" - it's not rocket science, is it? *eye roll* Furthermore, feel feel to take to the streets again, if it's troubling you that badly. Oh wait, you won't will you? I wonder why that is. Anyway, let me reserve my thoughts and time to those who have lost their lives (RIP) and the survivors who will never be the same again.

As I'm watching this video. I'm thinkin where ever they live it's a shithole. Then I'm like don't post ull get called a bigot racist. But it's true. There comin from dirty countries rubbish everywhere no pride. An there bringin that cultural mindset with them. Seen a video the other day of an Asian woman who'd just dumped a load of bin bags of household rubbish in a neighbours garden. He took them to her door as she seen on cctv. She was hostile I spk no English whilst living in England. Too lazy to use a wheelie bin . That persons right about bein poor but bein proud. I'm not rich but where I live I pick up bits of rubbish from pavement put weed kill on weeds outside mine as the council don't bother. I'm 45 but had older parents from the war generation. An it's obviously rubbed of on me. A lot of that's gone now. Politeness. Help thy neighbour. Britishness. It's been diluted with lots of 3rd world ways.

Sad to see whats happening in the UK, next holiday when i come to see the family again i was hoping to visit manchester. Looks like ill have to scrap it off the list of things to do because of the ppl being stabbed, the sword fighting in the streets and the rapes and such. There would be a hope for change if Starmer wasnt putting so much effort into being a dictator and actually did something to deal with the crime. No one should have to deal with having thier arm cut off, no child should be left without justice because of the pedorings. Ive got nothing but disgust for Starmer, the law enforcement and the courts in the UK. They have done nothing but let the people down year after year and gone after those who call them out. Im kinda glad i no longer live in the UK, some times i feel like coming back home but these days. No thx.
'Starmer has let the people down year after year' 😂. He's only been in office around 6 weeks, the real responsibility lies with 14 years of Conservatives - Sunak, Truss, Johnson, Cameron are to blame.
@@Handlebar-MustDash while I agree he's only been p.m for a short period, the most run down areas are and always have been labour run, also where is Andy Burnham? They always blame central government, I can't bare the conservatives, however instead of words by the local m.p's people need action , I'm about 3~4 miles from New Ferry, meeting after meeting with the locals {after the explosion in 2017} got them nowhere apart from her pointing the finger, she is a labour m.p just my thoughts 👍🏻
@@TheLuigi69 I feel some of your pain too Bro. That New Ferry gas explosion was shocking and the devastation was massive. Coming from a northern industrial town not too far from New Ferry. It is criminal that residents have had to battle so hard to rebuild the area. I would say that a lot of the problems councils have faced have been down to the chronic underfunding by Conservatives where they have actively punished Labour held councils. Labour MPs not in government have very little power in Parliament except to sit on Select Committees. I agree that there are some awful Labour MPs but in contrast to the thieving and corrupt Tory MPs, they are almost always nowhere near as bad. Local Councils rely very heavily on the contributions they receive from Central Governments. When these budgets are slashed, they face very stark choices. There is a video of Rishi Sunaks boasting that he took money from deprived urban areas, Labour Councils and gave it to wealthy Tory constituencies. Straight from the horse's mouth. My town suffers under an extremely ineffectual Labour MP - Derek Twigg, he doesn't even pay for a constituency office, any problems, he holds a once a month 'surgery' at the local Council Tax building. He is less than useless and only pops up once in a blue moon to promote a local business making the windmill structures for wind farms. Never seen him speak in parliament and this is a guy from a council estate. But the point is, Labour held constituencies can only ever prosper under a Labour Government. Labour MPs can only ever get favourable local decisions from a Labour held government. Conservatives actively punish Labour held areas and then lie to us and blame the local council, typical Tory tactics they have used for these last 50 years. They hate the working classes.
Love watching these videos as it's interesting listening to real stories from real people keep up the good work billy but please try to stay safe also mate.
Well we can all thank our beloved government for all the improvements made in the UK for the past few decades reducing us to a 3rd world dictatorship thanks guys oh big shout out to the voters thank you for concenting to be govenned by these lovely people thanks guy's
Young girl stabbed in Dorset as police arrest man and woman The child, reported to be aged around eight, was taken to hospital and her injuries are not believed to be life-threatening.
Moston used to be a predominantly owner occupier area but in the last few decades has degraded into mostly rental. Young people used to be able to afford a first home there but can't nowadays because even for the 2 up 2 down terraces they are priced out by landlords, often foreign nationals, who buy sight unseen and pay over the odds because they know they can charge between £800 and £1000 rent per month! That's where a big part of the scandal lies - absolute profiteering. We urgently need some form of rent control in the UK. Who pays those sky high rents? the taxpayer does via housing benefits, that's who! the poor people who live in them cant afford those kind of rents from what income they have, If they could then they'd be able to get a mortgage on a house somewhere better than Moston! I'm not advocating for a lower cap on housing benefits because that would just increase homelessness and suffering in the short term, but I am in favour of a cap on rents to discourage absentee fat cat landlords from hoovering up housing stock. I make no comment on the huge influx of migrants over the same period save to say that it hasn't "helped". Incidentally the demolished half timbered building is what remains of Hough Hall which may have been built around 1604, when Shakespeare was writing plays and Guy Fawkes was plotting against Parliament!. It's a crying shame that such a part of local heritage has met such an end after roughly half a century of neglect.
You wont get the media telling the truth about moston i was born here and lived here all or most locals have been forced out as all african s moved in and all they open is barbers shops we used have varity like the mip market where we have all different shops in there my dad had his in there whos to blame government and council for allowing our country to be changed forever RIP moston so sad ❤
What an absolute shame , I blame this mental health crisis on the government, Brits are under so much stress with this government, and the next generation , our young teens are suffering badly , they have no dreams left … Britain is going worse by the day
This could be any part of any major town in England. Where are the children? Back in the day there'd be squads of kids outside playing. That's what builds communities!
No MSM company will do this, interview and just talk to people. The truth is like a caged animal to them and they will not let it out.
So huge respect to you for the work you do.
I remember watching a middleclass Sky News reporter stick a TV camera in an old woman's face on her doorstep, I think it was somewhere near Bolton, asking her what she thinks of how things have changed. She said everything was fine, no problems - as if she'd have been able to say anything as the new teens were cycling about outside.
When a working class lad's reporting on these areas, they just open up without any fear, because they can see he's not stupid nor oblivious to the environment.
Why would they walk around there part of the problem big media companies
It's needed. Veitch, DJE Media, Wandering Turnip are also worth watching. Different approachs.
The Guardian occasionaly tries, but even then they can't help telling the interviewees what's good for them.
The elite exist in a bubble, where they extort from the peasants, and are protected, when the peasants aren't.
Absolutely spot on.
Journalism is gagged in the modern world.
It's no longer a case of get the story out to the people its "how will we present the story to the people and then ensure every other media outlet is following the same line."
@@sweeneytodd011 Journalism is controlled. Look at the coordinated stories over riots as one example. Someone's pulling strings.
The rest of the time, they are lazy. Some comment because comment is cheap.
The rest is regurgitating press releases.
Example, the Gorton killings the other day. Where's the news since? None.
However, I know the names, that 2 not 1 have died, who did it, and who the other victim is. Why won't the MSM do its job?
I’ve learnt more about this case from a witness than anything I’ve seen on the news. Reporting on the ground is a thing of the past, so thank you for doing the job of the media.
Maybe it's the future of journalism.
We can no longer trust the media or the government or the police to tell the actual news, better if local people go out and speak to everyday people and put it online.
Modern journalism has been hijacked and gagged.
Thank you.Myah is my Grand daughter..some people are saying that she shouldnt of spoke as it compromises the case...not at all..Myah and her mother have both been interviewed by the police as key witnesses..myah has not mentioned names...and i would rather hear the full story straight from the horses mouth than read aload of made up rubbish in the papers...im proud of my daughter and grand daughter. .

I’m from Salford born and raised there. My mother had a vision for a better future for us and when I was eighteen she put me on a plane to Texas to visit friends of hers. That was in 1983 now I’m sixty years old and still living in Texas (retired). When I go back to visit my sister it’s sad to see the pubs are all gone and a lot of the shops are boarded up. I feel very lucky that my mother had that vision but very sad for my sisters who still live there.
Says a lot about Salford when Texas has one the the highest number of murders in the world
I was born and raised in Salford too and still living here it has changed alot since I was born in 1989 lots of people who lived on the estate have moved out the area. What part of salford was you raised 😁

Without citizen journalists like yourself, we wouldn't get to know about these terrible problems. Thanks for the report. We are governed by incompetent traitors.
we have been governed by people who have been spinning the wheels of the EU for thirty plus years. This is the same across every member state. Every single nation looked away from their own voters.

Only 'incompetent', if the assumption is that they are acting for the good of the general populace

I recently left the Gorton area to move to the Peak District. The final straw was walking past a passed out drug addict with a needle still in his arm at 8am with my two young girls. I’ve lived in some rough places in my time but Manchester was a joke. The people, pollution, politics, policing, mindset and violence is a disgrace. And for some reason the housing prices are high. You couldn’t pay me to live there

Peak District... I don't blame u.
First thing I see everywhere . ..houses are all draped in the windows...folk sitting behind closed curtains. Living in the dark....hiding from each other and trying to stay safe indoors. 😢
Kind of, it's hard to put your trust in people these days but I think it's more fear than actual fact, it's the minority that ruin certain areas.
Never noticed at first but your right....speak volumes about how far the country has gone downhill...far cry away from leaving your doors and windows open all day which used to be the norm
@@andy_xtr3861 you can blame the minorities all your like but counting the number of non-minority ASBO kids, I’d say you’re thick
Years ago when there was a death on the street in the community, natural or otherwise people would all draw their curtains for a period of time as a mark of respect. It was a common practice and I've seen it happen in more modern times living in the North West after the death of a young boy everyone had their curtains drawn for a day or two.
@@sweeneytodd011 I can give a little background or history about the curtain drawing after a death. This "tradition" with curtain drawing was created as a mark of respect to a deceased person and/or to the family of the deceased to give them privacy and time to grieve properly without prying eyes. It became a thing in the 18th Century in the UK (maybe in some other parts of the world too) because of the amount of people dying due to health issues and deteriorating conditions at the time.
There are other "traditions" we have with different coloured curtains but you can look that up online yourselves if you want to know more about it.
To be perfectly honest, it is not the poverty that causes this.
I grew up in poverty but back when I was a child my parents took a pride in their surrounding area. They didn’t drop litter they swept the pavement in front of their house and kept everything clean and tidy. In other words they respected their country. Children were given love and attention and discipline. Something sadly lacking in today’s society where parents typically ignore the children their minds on their in their phones all the time. I am Scottish but i live in Manchester and all I hear is people shouting that they are proud to be English, well if you’re proud to be English clean up your act and clean up your country, because right now it’s one large slum and absolutely nothing to be proud of. Things need to change. When I was young, police walked their beats and they knew everyone in their communities. Now they sit in cars, detached from everyone in their area, not knowing anyone. The days where police protected and served are gone. So the government needs to change the laws and allow people to protect and serve themselves, because right now the law states that if we protect ourselves, we are the ones charged with assault. Apparently, we are just meant to stand there and allow someone to take a machete or a knife to us; a have at it kind of thing. Well, not this lady, come at me with a machete and I’ll hurt you, law be damned. Until the police get back to walking their beats and protecting the citizens that live there, I’ll protect myself. Period.
Those resources where stolen by voting in tory for 14 years thry stole everything and the people believed them that it's the poor that are the problem.
There's more to the decline of this country than poor policing and the prevalence of the mobile phone. Demographic change has played a major part.
100% correct
Well said.
Civic responsibility for our own areas these day is pathetic.
People used to take pride in where they lived.
And, the imports don’t care one iota.
It's interesting reading what you are saying and I agree whole heartedly. I had some students come to my academy in the UK from Sweden and they said they could not believe the state of the streets and the litter everywhere.

I grew up in moston in the 80s and 90s, back then all the shops on moston lane was family owned businesses, everyone knew each other. Saturdays was shopping day on the lane with all that you would need to get you through the week, neighbours was the second family members and would look out for each other, you needed sugar and milk you just shouted over the wall to borrow some. Never had any issues growing up there, yes I might have been a feral kid, but I always listened and respected my elders! Now moston is referred to has mostonbique ? Everything changes and moston has been followed suit.
I'm from Moston and grew up on Winston Road. In the 80s, it was a decent place to live, but drugs took the area in the 90s, and it turned into a shithole from then. There's too many places in Manchester as bad as Moston nowadays.
I'm the 80s it was not a decent place to live. What crap are you talking about? In the 80s Moston was a drug addicted theiving area. I worked there for 30 years.
The drugs hit Manchester in the mid 90s the most you would find is someone smoking abit of rocky and piss heads around 95 early 2000 thousands was when the rot we see today started
I agree, I was born in moston in the 60s when it was quite a decent place. It's heartbreaking what's happened to the UK , except for the more affluent areas of course.
@yesyoureright I was a child during the 80s, and that was my experience. I used to be out from morning until dark, especially in the summer, and we barely had any problems, and our parents seemed to think we would be ok. That was all parents, by the way, so that's why I believe it was decent in that era. Maybe it was just the community I lived in where everyone knew each other and on the whole looked out for each other.
Born and raised there from 83. Left around 2000, mum and dad left last year. It was great bsck im the early 90s, there was drugheads but most people knew each other, maybe i see ir different as i was a kid back then but it has got a lot worse in recent times
I grew up around Gorton in the 1960's and went to school just at the back of where you were filming. I honestly don't remember it being that much different. There were stabbings back then. There were murders back then. Don't forget that's where the Moors murderers were from orginally.
During the 1970's there was investment into the areas but by the 1980's it was just as bad. I lived next to drug dealers in the 1980's and the streets were filthy back then. I lived in Gorton until the early 90's and couldn't let my kids play out on the street because there were crack addicts on the street corners.
I eventually moved out to the suburbs where I live now but even there there are pockets of crime. It isn't the lack of investment. It's the individual people who make bad choices, a lack of education and a lack of awareness that there is a different way to live.
I don't pretend to know what the answer is. You can invest into an area but unless the people take pride in what they have it will soon deteriorate back into squalor. In this country there seems to be a mentality that the government should look after you and that mentality is worse in deprived areas. It's almost like learned helplessness where people think that is their lot in life and they they can't escape it so take no responosility whatsoever for their own surroundings or their own behaviour.

You are spot on.
I get really embarrassed by my own country when I hear that China with its massive population has almost no murders, almost no crime, no druggies, almost no homeless, almost no poverty anymore, and the people can walk their city streets alone at night without any fear or danger.
China continues to heavily rely on the death penalty, with the highest number of convictions and executions in the world. The country’s criminal law is severe, with many crimes punishable by death. Also have forced labour camps for people who are a problem and a lot of them never get out or disappear. Biggest surveillance state on the planet like the stasi in East Germany. Bit like North Korea but more wealthy.

I use to live in Gorton in the 60s, 70, 80s and 90s, when it was a lovely Place. It was very clean. The gardens were kept tidy and all my neighbors knew each otherm I use to walk down Barndard road to school. It was so safe then. It's so sad how it's gone.
Shootings stabbings are common lived in Manchester all my life just sometimes it makes the news so everyone gets to see unfortunately nothing new
Weird, shootings and stabbings are not that common in Russia and China. Nations way bigger than the UK. Yes, they do happen, but they're way less noticeable in daily life there.

I was from moston I remember it was a beautiful community with good family’s lovely diverse shops before it was turned it into a cesspit of drugs drunks crime ,trapping many good people unable to escape ,count the hair dressers that should give you a clue well done to the councils for turning it into ghetto , and I thought that knocked down building was grade 2 protected ,god help us all from what is happening to our towns and streets it’s like a disease slowly consuming the life out of everything good turning it into a 3rd world before moving onto the next town and it’s happening before our very eyes.
The old pub is meant to be getting done up but nothings been done. It's been collapsing due to weather
That building was Hough Hall. A beautiful Tudor building back in the day but unfortunately sits on land that is prime for shoving flats onto it. An overseas buyer got it based on planning permission to build those flats but couldn’t afford the upkeep of the hall. I suspect that a few quid was handed out to the local scroats to destroy it bit by bit until it was declared unsafe. That buyer passed the hall on.
What a lovely and well spoken young lady. Great video as always Billy pal. Stay safe out there. Cheers, Craig 🙂👍🏼

Mental healths one of the heaviest things for a family go through, an then getting no help from an underfunded and overworked NHS, it can really make you feel like your on your own... it's sad to see another family destroyed for ever..🙏 RIP...
The NHS isn't underfunded. Not functioning properly certainly and not properly prioritising. Heartbreaking. All sympathies to the people and the area.
Stop saying it’s underfunded just because you heard it on the TV
Its the PFI that went turbo with Blair that has crippled it along with UK PLC no longer running as a productive Country which happens when you give your manufacturing base away
@@judithcressey1682 The Government says the NHS is getting 'more money than ever', but this is highly misleading. Annual increases have not taken account of inflation, nor the increasing needs of a growing and aging population with greater complex needs, and as for the mental health side of the NHS, that is virtually crippled, I've witnessed it first hand for the last two decades....
@@judithcressey1682There are over 7.5 million Brits on medical waiting lists. Tory NHS "funding" includes the multiple billions defrauded via the PPE scandals, and dont forget all the money funnelled out to private donor owned companies.
Look at the MP's interest lists and you'll find Tories with shares and directorships in private health companies....So yeah the NHS is drastically underfunded.
The Conservative party always destroy the infrastructure as a preparation for a sale. Although unlike Farage they don't say the quiet bit out loud about wanting a US style full NHS privitasation.

My mom worked on Moston Lane and I was born on the border of Harpurhey and Blackley. Once, mainly indigenous working-class and not blighted by drugs and so forth. Now, the culture is in free fall - while rich individuals buy mansions in the city centre.
What culture? Drinking in pubs all day? That's what ruins areas. People become alcoholics because they follow so-called English culture. This then leads people to drugs and brings in the violence and gangs.
Makes me sick that young lady has to live with that all of her life.

If you mean "liberal" as in people who believe only in the free market and dog eat dog, then perhaps you have a point
Alot of locals refer to Moston as Mostonbique now.. because Rouge Landlords have filled the area with African families..this caused alot of outrage and aggro when it happened..but i for one think these good people are less of a threat, and less feral than the white lot they got rid off

I think I commented on one of your previous videos, but I'll say it again. I live in an area close to stockport (not far from gorton). makes me thankful for my community. not much litter, kids having fun playing outside, people saying hello, barely any crime (violent at least).

Hi Billy, one of the best podcasts I've seen in a while, bad situation but liked the fact you were on the ground investigating rather than hearsay. Well done.
I’ve family in Groton, other family that moved out a few years ago, lived in West Gorton myself many years ago for a short while ( where the very first Shameless series was filmed ), got the scar to prove it and that’s not just a saying.
You get people that run an area down but most are good people, keep their house and garden, even the streets clean, just take a look at the streets around where that terrible event happened.
Moston and New Moston are exactly the same, most just getting on with their lives but there’s others that don’t give a s#£t, a lot go down the wrong path in the suburbs of any town or city as you it’s the same in Liverpool, Birmingham etc.
It’s at night when you see what these places are really like, they won’t like the camera though Billy.

UK has a £2.2 Trillion GDP per annum, with 1.1 Trillion raised from taxes. 5th in the world for GDP, 27th in the world for GDP per capita.

We've just had a general election - the new government is tasked with cleaning up the mess caused by the last 14 years, so we don't need a 'rebellion' to make things more difficult.

When you subtract the interest payments on National debt along with long term liabilities like NHS +PFI, Education, Benefits, Pensions, Foreign Investment, you end up with little to pay the said interest on the Debt and local services such as street cleaning are a outcome of all that. National Debt currently £3 Trillion rising rapidly since Blair 1997. GDP is an allusion as it is all long term debt.

Thankyou for your efforts in enlightening people who watch your channel, as to what is happening in society in many cities today.

She was hostile I spk no English whilst living in England. Too lazy to use a wheelie bin . That persons right about bein poor but bein proud. I'm not rich but where I live I pick up bits of rubbish from pavement put weed kill on weeds outside mine as the council don't bother. I'm 45 but had older parents from the war generation.

Sad to see whats happening in the UK, next holiday when i come to see the family again i was hoping to visit manchester. Looks like ill have to scrap it off the list of things to do because of the ppl being stabbed, the sword fighting in the streets and the rapes and such. There would be a hope for change if Starmer wasnt putting so much effort into being a dictator and actually did something to deal with the crime. No one should have to deal with having thier arm cut off, no child should be left without justice because of the pedorings. Ive got nothing but disgust for Starmer, the law enforcement and the courts in the UK. They have done nothing but let the people down year after year and gone after those who call them out. Im kinda glad i no longer live in the UK, some times i feel like coming back home but these days. No thx.
'Starmer has let the people down year after year' 😂. He's only been in office around 6 weeks, the real responsibility lies with 14 years of Conservatives - Sunak, Truss, Johnson, Cameron are to blame.
@@Handlebar-MustDash while I agree he's only been p.m for a short period, the most run down areas are and always have been labour run, also where is Andy Burnham? They always blame central government, I can't bare the conservatives, however instead of words by the local m.p's people need action , I'm about 3~4 miles from New Ferry, meeting after meeting with the locals {after the explosion in 2017} got them nowhere apart from her pointing the finger, she is a labour m.p just my thoughts 👍🏻
@@TheLuigi69 I feel some of your pain too Bro. That New Ferry gas explosion was shocking and the devastation was massive. Coming from a northern industrial town not too far from New Ferry. It is criminal that residents have had to battle so hard to rebuild the area.
I would say that a lot of the problems councils have faced have been down to the chronic underfunding by Conservatives where they have actively punished Labour held councils. Labour MPs not in government have very little power in Parliament except to sit on Select Committees.
I agree that there are some awful Labour MPs but in contrast to the thieving and corrupt Tory MPs, they are almost always nowhere near as bad.
Local Councils rely very heavily on the contributions they receive from Central Governments. When these budgets are slashed, they face very stark choices.
There is a video of Rishi Sunaks boasting that he took money from deprived urban areas, Labour Councils and gave it to wealthy Tory constituencies.
Straight from the horse's mouth.
My town suffers under an extremely ineffectual Labour MP - Derek Twigg, he doesn't even pay for a constituency office, any problems, he holds a once a month 'surgery' at the local Council Tax building. He is less than useless and only pops up once in a blue moon to promote a local business making the windmill structures for wind farms. Never seen him speak in parliament and this is a guy from a council estate.
But the point is, Labour held constituencies can only ever prosper under a Labour Government. Labour MPs can only ever get favourable local decisions from a Labour held government. Conservatives actively punish Labour held areas and then lie to us and blame the local council, typical Tory tactics they have used for these last 50 years. They hate the working classes.
Love watching these videos as it's interesting listening to real stories from real people keep up the good work billy but please try to stay safe also mate.

Young girl stabbed in Dorset as police arrest man and woman
The child, reported to be aged around eight, was taken to hospital and her injuries are not believed to be life-threatening.
Moston used to be a predominantly owner occupier area but in the last few decades has degraded into mostly rental. Young people used to be able to afford a first home there but can't nowadays because even for the 2 up 2 down terraces they are priced out by landlords, often foreign nationals, who buy sight unseen and pay over the odds because they know they can charge between £800 and £1000 rent per month!
That's where a big part of the scandal lies - absolute profiteering. We urgently need some form of rent control in the UK. Who pays those sky high rents? the taxpayer does via housing benefits, that's who! the poor people who live in them cant afford those kind of rents from what income they have, If they could then they'd be able to get a mortgage on a house somewhere better than Moston!
I'm not advocating for a lower cap on housing benefits because that would just increase homelessness and suffering in the short term, but I am in favour of a cap on rents to discourage absentee fat cat landlords from hoovering up housing stock.
I make no comment on the huge influx of migrants over the same period save to say that it hasn't "helped".
Incidentally the demolished half timbered building is what remains of Hough Hall which may have been built around 1604, when Shakespeare was writing plays and Guy Fawkes was plotting against Parliament!. It's a crying shame that such a part of local heritage has met such an end after roughly half a century of neglect.
You wont get the media telling the truth about moston i was born here and lived here all or most locals have been forced out as all african s moved in and all they open is barbers shops we used have varity like the mip market where we have all different shops in there my dad had his in there whos to blame government and council for allowing our country to be changed forever RIP moston so sad ❤
