St Helens, like everywhere, has beautiful areas as well as some rough areas. I happened to find this location whilst on my way to a recovery meeting.
All the people in this video gave consent to be filmed.
Nice one for treating those 2 boys with dignity, I feel they really appreciated it.
Rainford lad born and bred here,St Helens was a busy ,bustling little town in the 70’s and early 80’s then Thatcher shut everything,and the town got abandoned .I left the north for work in 1990,breaks my heart seeing this,but Thankyou so much for highlighting some of the issues
People forget that people suffering are just good people who need a chance-Thankyou for being a good human 😊
Maggies in the mud !
£200Billion for a nuclear deterrent and £100Billion for HS2. Homelessness, addiction problems, mental health issues and child poverty could be totally eradicated in the UK.
we could have all of it if they didnt keep housing illigal imigrants, in blackpool ive seen the white homeless are sleeping in the archs of the britania hotel housing 1000s of afghans above, real!
Exactly. They managed to House all the Homeless during Covid so it can clearly be done.
England should stop voting Tory then.
On the other hand Labour would only be slightly less right wing.
@@sky37blue The Labour Party under Sir Kid Starver is fully signed up to the nuclear deterrent and HS2. Establishment politics.
04:31 watch the homeless guys smile when Billy says yes you can shake my hand, that showed the homeless man that humanity is still alive because he’s probably suffered by the hands of wicked people in the past. At 05:55 listen to Billy, you could hear by Billy voice it really effected him seeing fellow humans who are down on there luck. Billy this shows that you actually care about the next man, especially the ones who have nothing left. I felt it all in this vid mate. Powerful.
I am proud of you Billy trying to help people. There aren’t many people left in the word like you
Homeless people plus rows of empty houses ... something tells me there's an obvious solution to both problems.
Not to mention all the Empty High Street Shops and all the empty Office Space now with more working from Home.
Exactly lad everybody needs to address to get forward so when people say get a job to homeless Those who been on the streets lose or have all there stuff lost or stolen so need a address to apply it’s fcked
@@bigdaz7272 with the labour council pulling down houses to build new council offices. The building of flood defences in wirral where uts never flooded. Want some fresh air? Get your money out to put in the parking meters at local woodlands. Cycle lanes never used causing bottlenecks emergency cant get through!
Its not governments as everyone blames its local councils.
Billy I'm from originally from Birkenhead now in Gloucestershire your podcasts are really interesting what you are showing is the England this government doesn't want people to see I admire you for how you have turned your life around and you still have time to go back and offer a hand of hope,big shout out to you even if you are a toffee
Doin good things Billy. Loved the handshake mate. That’s was top drawer. Made that lad feel great and accepted. Respect Billy 🙌🏻
I live in St.helens mate, have done for 45yrs an that area in particular is as rough as it gets. It's an absolute shit hole as you would say an that's putting it nicely. The surrounding areas near the town centre don't fair much better tbh. Our council do fuckall to help regenerate the area. They don't reach out to help these addicts either. I'm a hard working man myself an it's embarrassing to see the town in decline in this way. Was born an bred in Toxteth which was as rough a place as any but we moved just before the riots started lol thank fuck. Keep up the good work as it's so interesting to see & hear the difficulties of each areas your visiting.
These areas were ‘regenerated’ in the 1970s. Our wonderful planning department put compulsory purchase orders on row upon row of terraced housing and whole communities were dispersed. Those terraced houses could have been renovated and communities saved. The town has never been the same since. It is a total disgrace for people to be homeless and without proper addiction help.
So sad 😪 I live in St Helens it has really changed over the years
God love you Bill giving them homeless lads your time..Keep up the amazing work 👏
St. Helen's council should renovate those houses .. for families and homeless .. instead of pulling them down .. whata waste !!
Them gardens could be lovely 🪴🌻🌴🌻🪴
St Helens council is famous for letting good properties fall into decline. I wonder who will be building on this site? I think Baldrick is the chief planning officer.
Greetings from Glasgow, Been watching a few of Billy Moore,s podcasts and what gets me most is the humility he shows to the various people he meets who are for whatever reason are at their lowest ebb in life also the decay and neglect of housing estates not just in Liverpool but all over, large areas of the UK really are becoming less than third world.
Think its great what your doing Billy. Nobody else highlighting this. Good man. ✌️🏴
Your a decent fella just holing your hand out makes them feel human
Proper.
Absolutely I trust your giving back I hope all the profits are going to charity
It's such a shame a lot of towns in the North of England are going downhill we need a regeneration project big time to invest in new jobs and get a bit of pride back in our towns the uk is going downhill fast good one billy
It's a shame the lad didn't feel worthy and had to ask could he shake your hand...by you doing it, hopefully he'll feel better and maybe trust in someone to help,both decent lads in the grip 🙏🙏they get out
These people need someone like you Bill , I know you can’t do anything really but the fact you are out there doing something speaks to what kind of man you are.
Lead enough horses to the water one will drink it Bill
All the best mate
I’ve lived in St Helens for most of my life but never knew this area of the town centre was so deprived
If there is no sense of community this is what happens. In other deprived areas such as Parr and Derbyshire Hill there is still a strong sense of community spirit. In these areas you might see one or two unkept properties but mostly they are kept immaculately.
Bill it's nice to see you and your boss kid having a laugh but even more meeting these lads and girls and their struggles. I always say of all addictions the booze is the worst! It's the only drug that you feel in life that you end up apologising to people for not taking. It's just around you all the time. Keep it up big fella your appreciated by many
Should have said this long ago. I Was a homeless junkie in the eyes of Joe public but in reality I was an abused drug addict and couldn't face upto my life and couldn't even kill myself properly when I tried several times but each time was glad I didn't die yer I was a riot nobody gave a shit bout me . Now I'm clean got family n getting married. The reason I'm clean....... I had a reason I had something I had someone n that's how n why I got clean not for anyone else but for me my life my family my fiance n every addict out there can have it you already do n it's you yourself n uour worth it n can do it .Bill you keep this up bro you're showing Joe public that addicts are ppl n human god bless you
Worked in St Helen’s for a short time, it’s tougher than a badgers ar$e. Met some great people & had some nice pies too.
Government need to get involved and help these poor people. It’s not going away and getting worse year on year. So sad!
These estates and in a state go hand in hand ,love these places most are salt of the earth❤
Respect bill for taking the time out of your day mate to try and help others and open peoples eyes to what goes on on those streets when we’re Cosy in are houses #YNWA
BIG up Bill,keep getting the message out fella.
If everyone who commented could find a way to support you practically, I don't mean financially, but some kind of support because you are the voice of experience Billy. These people need you to witness to them. You see them and hear them and we do as well through your channel whereas if we were out and about they might be invisible to us.
God bless you Bill for highlighting what the MSM should be highlighting.
Bill i hope you could get Joe Owens Talking Sense on your podcast he is a local with controversial views on politics. I do hope you let him say his peace sometime soon we can't end up like London where there isn't a cockney in London. I think you have the balls to talk about this with him man to man. I hope you see this message 👍🏻 great video again showing the REAL forgotten and down trodden 👍🏻💪🏻🍻
I agree needs to happen!!
I just discovered Joe's channel yesterday.
I think it’s something Billy needs to highlight himself and show what’s going on!
@@iansmith8247 yeah i would agree with tjat matey👍🏻 heard a few of the lads bring it up when he's doing the rounds. I also get that its a very risky especially with our people being so reactionary but it needs saying i work everywhere and everyone is on to it like. But yeah totally agree with you and im not even saying i agree with Joe Owens on everything just that it needs speaking about by respected people across the city. 👍🏻💪🏻🍻
@@TheRealMike1976 don't know him personally and im not gna lie i read he was once BNP however what he's saying is yes uncomfortable but only what everyone else is saying these days like. Keep watching him but keep your own mind💪🏻👍🏻🍻
Sadly it’s not the only part of St Helens that’s struggling economically Bill the likes of Parr, Thatto Heath, Clock Face all corners of the town have its bad streets. Really is a shame to see as well.
Thank`s Billy this was once a thrivng Town, loads of employment prospects in many industries, but it is sadly now a getto mate.
Your life experiences come in very useful for addicts Bill your an inspiration I hope you know that lad
Total respect for what you do and what your doing. I’ve been following your journey for a long time ,your real and will help many people. Not from Liverpool but if I was I’d vote for you to be the fucking Mayor👊pardon the French 🙏
Great work Bill.
You've a heart of gold Bill, Here's hoping even 1 gets the help they need
TRUELY SHOCKED BILL, worked all over St Helens, Rainford, Newton le Willows years ago in the mid 80s on the Tarmac putting Roads , Footpaths etc in those Estates, What's gone wrong down there Bill, Unbelievable ! ANOTHER BELTER of a Video Bill, Hope them lads turn the Corner.
The 1970s and 1980s are the reason for most of ST Helens troubles. The loss of the mines and the decline in the glass industry since Pilkingtons was taken over have made working for a descent wage almost impossible for mistress working class folk. Successive governments have failed to invest in the town and even the Chamber of Commerce has gone bust.
Good man Billy, I love your stuff. I found you when I was doing my cold turkey and now in recovery I find your content very motivational and positive
All the best Billy mush top bloke, making them feel human again just with an handshake 🤝 much love 💎💙💎
Aww god Billy my heart went out to them. All those houses and people crying out for houses
Thank. You Billy helping others. It shame in St Helens. It’s change so much wish there was more help for the homeless What ever paths they come from. We all have stories no one perfect. Wish there was more people like you Billy. Thank you
Been there many times putting myself inside too get away from the gear. Horrific times man and I really feel for the addicts that are still in it suffering. Love your videos billy and caring ways for those still in pain. Puts it all in too context. A bad day really ain’t as bad as it sometimes seems today. Keep going mate 👍
Keep it going bill respect 👍👍🇮🇪🇮🇪
keep up the good work bill. inspiring the nation with the reality of life and its ups and downs
I thought it was known for boxing, not boxed up houses👀👍
@jamesunsworth1990 Good gloves👍
02:30 Bloody hell David Tennant's hit hard times. Lol.
Billy love watching the videos much love respect brother from Ireland 🇮🇪💙🙏👍💯
this needs highlighting more , well done bill
Respect be to you sir!!
I grew up on that estate bill for nearly 20 years.. It wasn't that bad back then.. There knocking them all down now and putting a road through there and more flats.. Good memories on there ❤️
Jesus, families need houses not flat or maisonettes. They flattened Peasley Cross in the 1960s instead of refurbishing the old terraced streets. In their place we had the Monstrous Peasley View, Maisonettes that became a ghetto for all manner of criminal activity. The place hasn’t recovered since.
Watching your videos is like being in meetings to me, keep on keeping on billy
I get so much from your podcasts etc because I’m currently in addition myself
Another fantastic video billy .
Bill your doin a great job
Good Lad Billy Lad...keep up the good work!!! 💪💪🙏🙏
Bless you Billy
It was really good of you to let the ones who struggle with addiction living on the streets.
luckily for me iv'e not ended up on the streets but i am in recovery from alcoholism
You’re a good man Billy.....full of empathy...👍🏻
24 years ago I worked with some fellas from parr, one of them told me that a man had stopped at traffic lights and then a fella with a pitch fork ran frome behind a Bush, jumped on the bonnet and shoved it through the windscreen impaling him to his seat.
I don't know if this was true.
The fella telling me seemed pretty convincing.
Those two young men were lovely. Heartbreaking. I really wish them well. x
Keep up the good work bill putting the good word out and trying to help people. Because God knows they need it.👍
Wow this country is literally on its knees the good old days as we all day and know are fully gone the core British values we once had are forgotten and the people of the country no matter what the race or region have been truly forgotten ..
Your a good man billy moore
The whole system is fyked.
The rich get richer the poor get poorer.Sad .
💔 Stay safe keep sound .xxx
Your own experience helps when you talk to the homeless keep up the good work, an that handshake made his day
Well done Bill great Comtent
Your just like me, no different. Quality words bill 👍❤️
That Moggy sneaking up on Bill @ 5:38 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Great video,Billy😢
Billy, it's sad when there's homelessness & all those empty buildings there doing nothing...Must be bad when you want to go back to jail for a roof over your head & 3 meals a day.... The government are bang out of order,, get our own house in order, never mind these so called migrants being put before our own people...💙
All you can do Billy is listen to these guys and girls. give them the opportunity to speak, then you can tell them your story of how it was for you and how it is now. then pass on your advice and info on where they can receive advice,help and support etc. it's then down to them Billy. it might be a case of they are not ready YET!!!. try to not get too disheartened Billy. just keep doing what your doing mate. Chin up Chest out. John. 👍
Great stuff Billy but heartbreaking to see ❤
It really is a powerful message you're sending. All of us arnt doing the same but we can all help by liking and subscribing and making your videos reach more people.
I escaped from St Helens before the darkness fell. It's an absolute hell hole.
These properties could be refurbished not demolished
Good stuff Willy
Thanks Billy, very moving video and good to hear these people talk, who can help these people in this video? what agencies or charities?
God bless them two. 🙏
As brutal as this is to see, you are doing good work here. Most people would not imagine these places have degenerated this much.
Look after yourself though, this kind of stuff could grind you down.
Doing gods work mate good on you these are interesting but sad videos hope all the people you meet can get off the gear.
You've got to want to do it yourself no matter how much help you get at the end of the day its down to yourself end of
Respect there billy 👏 🙌 👍
You always look like you need a hug after every interview 😔 the amount of sufferings heart breaking.
They look like they would have been nice houses when they were first put up.
Broke my heart when he asked if he could shake your hand.
It is heartbreaking Billy.
Very true.😢
From St Helens myself and I’ve never seen this. I’m in Sutton leach which in my opinion is one of the more nicer areas. You should check darbyshire hill as it’s quite rough there.
Holy shit that did look a dump that place. Right on the money again there Bill with another belter and heavy content. More of the same please Bill ....
Like this in Birmingham .
A school is closed by mine and loads high rise flats the kids go in the school n houses and cause fires.
Just left to rott
Born & raised in liverpool & then grew up for a little while in clock face …. Shame what’s happened to St Helens
Nuff respect Billy
The pitch fork is true but the lad who it happened to is still around 👌
Broke my heart ❤that guy asked you to shake his hand as if he was not worthy.. this what i mean we can have llaugh but this could be enyone people stuck up they own arse cant judge anyone till you walked a mile in they shoes far play billy iwant to put something back into my community in the North East teesside..
Don't know if you know Bill but Petes passed away 😢 R.I.P we'll miss you 🙏
I use to know these 2 from school sad to see they never escape that town.Because it is a shit hole, If your reading this it's crooky hope you both are doing well 💯
Parts of St Helens are worse than some of the bad parts of Liverpool, Liverpool is on the Up, St Helens will never recover like many former small industrial towns
I used to live around the corner but I still live in St helens. All those houses are getting knocked down and brand new houses are getting built that's why they are all boarded up.
I’m from st Helen’s I wish I’d of u known which day u was going I’d of looked to meet u 👍🏿
Good onta Bill
Used to live up in union street back in the day, looking at google maps up till 2020 the street looked fine, I dont know what happened in those four years but it looks awful 😞
Failed badly by the council and lack of investment in this town. Used to be a thriving place to live/shop but never moved with the times. Lots of nice areas in the Borough but lots of deprived areas too. The people are great though just very little opportunities in the area. Can’t see it changing any time soon unfortunately.
Parr billy derby hill or tatty head fingerpost and beth ave was notorious in the ninetees there a ok the st helens firm bill
