@@Steve_Sharpe But I don't think he is wrong about the struggling (or not struggling) on 2k a month. Either she is bad at budgeting or spending it on alcohol or drugs.
Many on benefits elsewhere live on less than 1k month. That woman is rich compared to many benefit recipients. I know one, no tv, no booze, no holidays or new clothes/goods, collect rainwater for toilets, cleaning etc because meter water is very expensive, no heating etc.... This nation was screwed when euro took all the manufacturing and govt invested in cheap short lived goods providers like China and India, instead of business here
The Fish & Chip shop owner is a great example of True Northern hospitality. Working hard and Helping his local community because nobody else will. Respect
That chip shop owner deserves an award. As a business owner he is clearly prioritising the needs of the local people over his profit. You just don't see that kind of nobility anymore. People are far too greedy, self absorbed and inconsiderate to care. He is the kind of man that gives you hope. God bless him.

I earn less than that from a full time job. I can manage to pay a mortgage and bills, run a car, and still have money left over for holidays and other nice things. If people are struggling on 2k a month they need to learn to budget.

I’m not denying that poverty is a real issue, but I’m shocked that people cannot afford to live on £2k a month? A little over 2k is what many skilled professionals like myself get AFTER paying taxes, pension, etc… And, sometimes I work up to 70 hours per week…Astonishing 😮

Children = child benefits = money. She wouldn't get £2000 a month without children. Then when she has the children, she can complain about not being given enough to look after them to play the victim card. It's the Utopia of the Soviet Union. No one has to work, but everyone gets fed. Weirdly, the Soviet Union collapsed while working towards this Utopia, so I'm not sure what went wrong. Maybe, just this crazy theory I came up with, maybe, not working and getting everyone fed requires more than a belief in this left-wing ideology.
£2k for 5 people isn't a lot to live on. I agree it's plenty for a single adult in a lot of places but that's not her situation. She probably gets more money to meet her disabled child's needs than someone without a disabled child would.

Cheeky woman says she only gets £2,000 a month and can't afford things for her family. Nike clothing, tattoos etc, it's obvious she's getting too much.

Not had a holiday in 18 years, hardly ever go out for a meal, (maybe 2-3 times a year) and my car is over 17 years old. Not complaining, just stating facts. I'm just sick to death of the lazy idle moaners who complain when they are given so much. Don't like it? Get a real job.
On benefits and getting £2k per month, therefore will get help with rent, probably won't pay council tax, or get good subsidy, if working you would need to earn £3k a month, take home, to be the same level when all things equal. UK must be the most deprived G7 country.
@neilhands1708 is it possible that this woman or any man is better than you at your job but just weren't given the same opportunities you had? Does this person deserve less?
They live on 22.000 a year trying to live on less. My wife and I have to live on 15.000 per year, and we can't claim any benefits, not even council tax reduction. we get nothing.
Same in Poland. People earn e.g. 6000 for a 4-people family and some other family earn 5000 (PLN) but then they get 2000 benefits because they are poor.

We are a 6 figure income couple and had very little saved and not much cash lying around the preverbal". '...don't have $500 for an emergency" that was us. The big thing was debt all kinds of it, cars mortgage (although our home isn't a high price one), student loans for our kids, and of course credit cards. One day we just got sick of being broke and went total scorched earth and became frugal overnight. Paid it all off, it took almost 5 years but now we have no debt and this year our savings rate is 50% on basically the same income that had us perpetually broke. So for us it is mainly staying out of debt and watching our spending, at first it was a real effort to save in our HISA and 401Ks but now it's actually fun watching our money grow. No car or vacation or neighborhood is worth being broke or financially unstable.

I'm a fulltime secondary school teacher and a single parent of two children and I live on less than £1800 a month after tax, £2k a month on benefits without being taxed is not struggling.
Benefits are taxed. Not by much but they are and go towards NI which goes towards state pension. State pension may not be given in the end though as benefit claimants may not have enough NI points/credits, or they will get the lowest amount. Many will cry when it get to retirement age. Especially, if they’ve not saved towards a personal pension pot.
I am a single pensioner and i live in a little remote village with 1.400 £ in Germany, we are getting told: in one of the richest countries of the world. I raised 3 children as the sole breadwinner. With this little money I could not live in the big towns where I once earned my Money like Frankfurt, Freiburg, Berlin. I don't complain on my life but I feel there is increasing injustice and misery all over Europe at the moment.
While i do feel for some of these people, i work full time in a freezing damp factory and bring home almost £500 less a month than the first woman in this video.
£3 for a fish and chip supper is brilliant. But I cook my own meals and typically I spend £1.50 a portion. Chicken thighs, parsnips, onions, carrots, mushrooms and herbs chucked in a slow cooker, served with mash and broccoli - healthy, tasty and dead easy to make. It takes less than half an hour to make 6 portions. I could afford to eat out every night - but it's cheaper and healthier to cook it myself.
@@BosworthMcG It is, I can assure you. I have an income of c£4000 a month (and I'm retired) but I spend well under £200 a month on food and that includes my contributions to the village food bank. I buy any reduced chicken, beef or similar and bulk cook meals such as chilli con carne, curry and the like.

The joy in that elderly woman's eyes with the fish and chips box shows that what that business owner is doing is helping these people so much more than just providing a dinner. The condescending social worker who can't believe someone is shouting is more like what they are used to as far as help. Chippy's is giving people a treat that is nourishing and that they can afford. That helps them spiritually and socially not just economically. They are treated with dignity, not like a charity case. The owner knows what he is doing. He can pay his bills and keep his community going for his part.
Chippy throws in free twins on Friday nights with every double portion of cod and chips. (side order of mushy peas required to qualify for this offer. Please see website for full terms and conditions.)
Funny thing that working class people don't get enough support from government. If you poor and you don't work government will try help you but if you work you won't get any support. But you are paying taxes. This is madness.

I was just about to say this too. The 2 of us working full time, I do 40h/w, husband does almost 50h/w and we both bring the total of £3100 a month. I don't think £2000 is little. I wonder if she needs to pay CT/rent etc.
She said she is also a paid carer for her son. If someone with a disabled child worked full time the cost of care would be a fortune. Besides which the value of having a sense of purpose, gained through employment is worth more than money! Don’t blame the people for this travesty of political shenanigans! The EU was a massive problem, blame the corrupt politicians but also blame the people who keep voting for them! Either colour it’s the same old shite
£2000 a month, I live alone, have 2 part time jobs, but 34 hours a week, I struggle with sleep, undiagnosed Aspergers, adhd, have alcohol issues, my heating is capped, house is freezing, and what help, benefits do I get?? FUCK ALL, WORKED, ALL MY LIFE, HAD MY OWN HOME, WELL PAID JOB, AND got made redundant!
Fight for the support, don't just accept less because that's what your given, you are human like the rest. You should look into get payments for your adhd, work on getting the Asperger's diagnosed, if you read this and decide to fight to get the help you need then I wish you nothing but the best luck in doing so. We all deserve to have a heated home, food, and not struggle alone with an addiction to alcohol to help said problems. Good luck. 😊
However my advice is not to get more divisive, more hateful and more exasperating, that's just what the government. Those in authority want! x I did welfare rights, university politics, and I have severe health issues but I do try to push myself, but I am good to myself as well, its all well and good saying benefits this benefits that, but that money doesn't go far enough if you have additional needs,disabilities, cost of living, social care charges so carers etc,miscellaneous things like gardening, or repairs, because the housing association are useless, any kinda emergencies, any kind of debts, re payment plans, sanctions,clerical errors, mandatory reconsideration. The intestinal amount of stress dealing with all of the above, as councils. Charities are pushed to breaking point and then some x its exhausting x
Does she expect sympathy for that? Same as you- I'm working full time, earn about the same as her on benefits, with some luxuries, running a car too, AND living in Leeds, which I can say, isn't cheap... So, no... little sympathy from here. Prices in my city are vastly over-inflated for what the city offers, namely rent and food extortion, so 2k monthly in Grimsby must be luxury. Adidas trainers?? Nice... 🤔🤫
They aren't poor. I'm shocked to hear people getting benefits of F* 2K a month, and we don't get a single penny while still working hard enough to earn a mere £1500-£1600 a month.
You need to retrain and try and increase your income. Sorry but 2k is a very low amount for 4 children. You should not be envious of that You should be mad at companies that think paying you 1500 a month is ok while they make huge bonuses.
They know poor people just spend it on drugs and booze. If they let normal people, the 30 million have 2000 a month inflation would go insane. Unfortunately they need to control that 30 million by making it look like we need all your money to support these people. It's bs really just about controlling the average man just you wait in 10 years time when there's another 7 million people chasing what you want to buy each month.
Why do you work for half the national average income? You need a better job, not complain that other people don't suffer enough. If you must complain, take it to your boss, and to whoever it is that writes laws allowing people to be paid slave wages.

Labour have opposed the stopping of boats 7 times, paying 8m per day to house the illegal chancers. Imagine what could be done for towns like Grimsby!!!!!!!🤬
It's the Tories that can't be bothered to process applications and put them all in Hotels instead. They are the ones that want the cheap labour and that's why they haven't stopped the boats. They would rather give money to business people like hoteliers, pretend PPE providers and other Tory party donors than spend it on the likes of Grimsby, Stockton and Stoke-On-Trent.
Hello rayvinloony I can imagine how you feel nearly , but I don’t get why you’re blaming The Labour Party, their not in power, the Tories have a massive majority, Labour can’t stop them from doin whatever they want ? Of course the conservatives want you and everyone else to hang the blame on someone other than them , Imagine if the Government used that 8 million to sort out if the refugees are genuine or not, then the ones that are they can put them to work , I’m from Birkenhead, I live now in the Netherlands, here the authorities have accepted 123,000 refugees by interviewing them, every one of them have to find a job and feed themselves , Britain’s wonderful Government won’t let the refugees look for work , instead they use them to stir up bad feelings amongst people as yourself, and in the meantime the Tories get a trouble free ride ,
Generally poorer households have more kids because of their higher death rate. We typically associate more kids as more free time, which can be true in some circumstances, but in general cases it is to mitigate the number of kids lost.
See this is where it all wrong, people on the streets, illegal immigrants in fine hotels, free food and money to go with it, Our poor people struggling like hell, it's not right
That's because there are HUGE government contracts awarded to those with contacts to take zero action on it. It literally says in the film that "It's the eu's fualt" of course the people you blame aren't even from the EU 😆
It’s not the fault of immigrants, legal or otherwise, that the Tories have funnelled off billions of pounds to their mates and donors. There is more than enough money in our country to make sure everyone has a decent standard of living but the Tories don’t want to give it to those who most need it, they’d rather keep it to themselves and their already rich mates. Punch up, not down because it’s those at the top who are to blame.
Refugees are not in "Fine" hotels. They are sharing rooms in run down hotels with no services. The hotels are owned by Tory cronies who by design are the recipients of tax payers mone because of their Tory connections. The very tories who refuse to process these people in a timely manner or process them overseas like we used to. The very tories that caused Brexit and abandoned the Dublin agreement that allowed us to send them back. The fact that people are living in poverty without proper housing, medical or dental services, etc, in the UK is also by Tory design. It is they that decide we should have a very poor class of people, foodbanks and rough sleeping on the streets.

I'm in Wales I'm disabled I don't get £2000 on benefits, it depends where you live too not everyone will get that on benefits that amounts isnt across the board. Plus that's not the reason why people don't work, its that people want a decent wage to live on and not just exist on.
Her £2000 a month in benefits is more than I get each month for working 40 hours a week. I get no help to pay the heating bill or anything else, it stinks.
Not everyone on benefits will get that amount, it depends where you live, plus she has kids too, if she didn't have kids she would not get that amount. I'm disabled and I don't get that much, not even close to that amount and I have no kids.
The first woman gets 2k a month and she's poor? That's the equivalent to 32k a year and with her council tax and house paid for, that's about another 10k after tax, so she's on about 45k a year. That's a manager salary and she's still poor?
No it doesn't it shows how little they listened to communities who didn't want their industry signing away to the EU. Many were more than happy to leave school and go into a trade like fishing, that used to pay well and was a job for life, the focus on education as it stands to today where being book smart and being able to tick the right boxes on a exam, is focused on far too much. The push for pepper to go to university has made some young people's prospects unrealistic, they go to uni do a useless degree like a business degree, when they could just as easily have got on with a business to learn the ropes that way. Or worse they go and de some stupid degree like feminism, then they leave uni and are dumbstruck by the fact they can't find a decent job. Thos kids were sold the lie they could do anything and be anything, they leave uni with their degree and expectation of a grand paying job. Education is not the be all and end all, especially in areas like Grimsby who don't have jobs for high skilled uni grads, they're all in the cities and mostly in the south.
Agree. It comes down to if you want to work or live off the state. You have to work hard for a job and then work hard to keep the job. I came out of the military and promised a job. Got home the company I was going to work for told me that there was no job for they were laying off. I looked around and found work. At first, it was not much but gave me a leg up to find a better job. I eventually ended up being a structures technician and am now retired. My wife worked as well. Never looked back. Still being offered jobs even though retired.

@@stevenhull5025 Yeah, you're so right regarding so many people getting into debt for Christmas. I've found that way too many of the teens don't appreciate what you buy them anyhow. Too many of them are spoilt and only want the best and are only interested in how much you've spent on them. We never had a lot when we were growing up but whatever we got, we always appreciated it. Times have certainly changed but not for the better. It's actually quite sad to see.
It's selfish and irresponsible to have 4 children when you can't even afford to support yourself. Less than 5 min in, and you have two impoverished, unmarried women with four children each. Both women on "benefits," of course. And I'll guess what the child's disability is, for which the parent receives even more benefits: ADHD, which means medicating their child, for what is probably normal behavior.
Absolutely agree it's irresponsible to have children you can't afford. But how about blaming the fathers as well? Shouldn't they take responsibility for kids, or it's only fun for them and sacrifice for the mothers.
Have you ever thought that she might be divorced or that maybe she her kids all have the same father through a long term relationship?? Not everyone with large families do it just to live on benefits
If I got $4000 AUD a month, I'd have my own business set up and have finished uni by now. I'd actually be contributing to society if I was given that kind of leg up
Exactly i worked in a workforce of 70 middle earners,not one family had more than 3 kids and that was only 1,the rest had 1 or 2. It's a financial responsibility to bring them up
They are financially better off on benefits that's why, Jobs in the area are shite zero hour type deals - get up 4am to be bored and freezing for 8-12hrs if you're lucky, sent home with zero pay after spending money to get there at worst.
Small irony here, during times of war, parents are asked to have children.

@@sonictelephone1526to me the biggest issue of the 21st century is that wages simply haven’t kept up with the costs of living.. part of the whole appeal of “Western democracy” is the idea of social mobility. The rags to riches story is becoming more and more impossible because you don’t have as much money to save after covering all yours costs. The internet is a great way to make money yes but it’s also not for everyone and certainly not everyone can make a living off of e-commerce or whatever else. We need builders, doctors, teachers, firemen, farmers.. we dont need more influencers and we dont need more drug addicts. I blame the internet for a lot of our ails at the moment too..

And I think it’s important more people start thinking about what kind of system they’re living under. Not that UA-cam comments are going to solve the issue 😂
Unless that woman's child is so severely disabled that he/she is confined to bed as like a child I once knew with cerebral palsy (known as a spastic back in the day) then the child will still attend school. And she didn't mention that was the case. I too have a disabled child but we don't use that as an excuse.
Exactly, I'm a student, living alone, working and studying full-time. After paying my bills, I'm left with just £250 per month. I survive on chicken nuggets and ready-made salads.

Put these people to work, a bunch of lazy benefit leeches
with 4 kids it is quite bad though - it's her lifestyle choice ofc, but people need to wake up kids are expensive (more expensive than adults) and that 2000gbp for 4-5 people is nothing.

There is also a culture that believes the state owes them a living. Violence and vandalism, the same as in the town i lived in, destroying trust and peace and sanity. When you interviewed the man from the citizens advice there was a person shouting in the background, imagine that late at night, lets say 11 - then another starts at 2 in the morning - thats the real issue. When the restrictions on state payments started in the 80s it had a good effect in my small town - they couldnt afford to get high 3 or 4 nights a week - then it came to only 2 nights a week.

I do believe there are exceptions, but the majority of people don’t have the inner drive to leave these conditions. So glad I did
i live in a small town in france , the economy of the town is good due to tourism and industries present in the area but there is still poverty here , we had a family of white gypsies come in our building , they lived above us my god....... When they would close their door they wouldn't close it normally but would bang it and not once a day , like imagine that 20 or 30 times a day , always some mess around them, weird loud music at night , probably listening to it high , people that have nothing to do with our entrance coming in and out at night , (they broke the lock on the door of the main entrance) , i was afraid to go home at night after work you don't know what you can stumble upon....... They also robbed our 90 years old neighbor , a disaster , they finally got forced out but only after 2 years.......I also think i escaped death when i got to their door to tell to stop the noise the father went for something to get me with (maybe a knife or i don't know). Those people are a disease.
Poverty is grinding, it grinds you down to the point where you can’t see upwards, so you can’t blame the majority of these people! In other words poverty causes severe mental health problems, problems that put people on the poverty “merry go round.” And what about those kids watching this happen, what do you think that will do to their delicate minds, I remember sitting on my bed, at 15 years old, considering suicide, because I could never see anything different, thinking what is the point? Children need a Leader, but if that Leader (parent) is ground down in to the dirt🤔
@@wazz1154 you are quite right, but from what i saw many wanted to be there - the telly, the pubs, every time they got a bit antsy - drink till you forget - its not until you take that away that they begin to take responsibility - and yes suicide - thats why we need society to change - we need leaders who people can follow - not the left, not the right - but people who can set an example by what they do - and do. I found several and followed what they did and soon enough - i was there too.
I live in Grimsby and have done for the last 30 years. I work full time for a reputable accountancy and payroll company. I only take home £1,600 a month. But, unlike these people, I am not living on the street. My "meagre" monthly salary not only pays for our food and clothes it also pays the mortgage, all of the insurances, all local taxes and utilities and I still have enough left over every month so that I can save up for home improvement projects. I am extremely grateful to have this job and the money it brings in and cannot understand why people who receive twice as much as me are struggling and are considered destitute. The problem is not one of money, but one of attitude.
drugs alcohol smoking betting tattoos are costly items and spending most of your money on this is a reason for food Banks I earnt €43 a week I had a food bank parcel because I was employed by myself and doing 64 hrs a week I still had to pay the council tax did not have heating and went to a friend's house for a bath some are more deserving than others
I used to live in Burnley. It had a brilliant local economy with the mills and engineering. Now, its a shadow of its former self. Who is to blame for the demise of British towns? Politicians, civil servants, activists, selfish big businesses (selling off mills) and business owners getting stuff made in China. People need jobs, not benefits and with jobs comes prosperity. But the political and treacherous don't want the average Brit to be successful.
Jon you are not wrong. I come from coal, steel and shipyard country. Imagine owning a manufacturing company in uk today. Minimum wage, income tax, ni, rates, business tax, health and safety, environmental regs. etc. etc. etc. nothing wrong with these, but why should we have to compete with sweatshops around the world who don’t pay any of it?
I just bought a Harrington jacket, made in Blackburn. Yes it was a bit more expensive than an imported item, it cost £140, but the money stays in UK. My message is simple, shop smart, buy new stuff made here, so money is not sucked out of our country..
Cambridge council tried to put my family in a hotel because of dangerous lead paint and lead-dust in a house, it was problematic because of pets, but with a lot of complaints and emails back and forth, a few meetings, they re-housed us fairly quickly, they had a safer house within a few weeks, but it was too far away, they offered about 4 houses, the one we took was/is a 1 minute walk away from the lead house. They did not clean that lead house or get rid of the unsafe lead paint or anything, they just shoved a foreign family in there, white, not sure from where maybe Poland or Bulgaria, they have young children. Our councils put these immigrant families with young children into the most dangerous and unsafe of council housing. What with that little African boy dying, i think if these people didn't hold this country in such high regard, they'd realize that they are safer back home. But the benefit money is certainly a draw. They should not allow immigrants, etc, any benefits until they've been here for working for 5yrs and applied for citizenship.

@@billdoorscapePerhaps look again to the government, because they introduced LASPO which prevented legal aid for contact cases in the family courts. The average private solicitor costs will be £12k. If those costs are unfeasible, the only other option is self litigation which often results in a "mother knows best" approach, and as a result, estates full of single mums.
I once worked with a woman who had 1 child. She told me he and her husband worked out that they could only afford 1 child and to give it a good life. They both worked in professional jobs and made that calculation wisely. Seems like a lot of people don’t think logically about this important subject.
Meanwhile, all the gammons ARE voting, and they are all voting for the Tories. Just wait till you need to find health insurance on top of what little you already earn.
The poverty is shocking in the UK but people should not be reproducing when they can't afford to provide for so many children. £2K is more than people receive on a minimum wage. There should be mandatory classes in budgeting.
- 650K is LEGAL migration, 50K illegal (boats and lorries) - the Mainstream Media and govt distract the public from the real issue - always talking about boats !!!!!
If people are struggling to survive on state benefit - and often working ends up with less money - just imagine how hard it is surviving on a wage. I see and hear it all the time. People saying that they do not work because they are better of on state benefits. I agree they are. WHY IS THIS?! Why are wages SO LOW that people are better off not working. It is not an issues that state benefit are high, THEY ARE NOT. Its that wages are so low that people end up with state benefit (working tax credit) to top up their wage. WHY?! Why are companies being allowed to pay people such low wages???
Grimsby is receiving 25 million pounds a year for 30 years to level up from this state it’s in. That’s 4 days expenditure on the migrant hotels. In 4 days the government spends more money than it’s willing to give the poorest area of our country in a year
And you think even without those migrants it would be better? Hard reality is now ive heard numbers around 3 billion but thats next to nothing comparing on how much it cost to run a country like the UK for a year.
I had 2 children and my husband and I wanted another child, but we couldn’t afford to pay for college for 3 kids so we didn’t have another child. If you can’t afford kids don’t have them.
I live in East Marsh, and I 100% agree. However, I do hope, for my kids' sake, that when they are my age, Grimsby will be back to its glory. It's a beautiful place, but we feel forgotten, and all the money the council puts into the town seems to be wasted. It's never put where it actually needs to be.
I live on the east marsh to I personally love Grimsby it really saddens me that half the shops and buildings have become derelict or unkept freshney place used to be such a great shopping centre along with the market it's gone so far downhill nothing left in the town now and the amount of homeless people here is forever getting more and more
Such places generally do not recover. But people can and should move to seek out chances elsewhere. Once the place has shrunk to a sustainable size, new things can grow.
"The UK spends more than anywhere else in Europe subsidising the cost of structural inequality in favour of the rich".This was the headline from the Equality Trust’s cost of inequality report and analyse which came out couple of weeks ago,inequalities of income, wealth and power cost the UK £106.2bn a year compared with the average developed country in the OECD.Britain in the 1970s was one of the most equal of rich countries. Today, it is the second most unequal, after the US

It's downright infuriating that a nation neglecting its own citizens is shamelessly importing others-securing them homes, jobs, or welfare. Instead of squandering billions on ineffective foreign aid, immigration, or futile green initiatives that do zilch for the environment and cripple businesses, imagine channeling those funds to incentivize locals. Encourage them to work with higher wages, ignite entrepreneurial ventures, and provide incentives for families to invest in and revamp homes. Importing individuals from struggling nations in the hopes of plugging workforce gaps isn't the answer. They often quit, pose training challenges, and a significant chunk ends up dependent on welfare or tangled in underground criminal pursuits, morphing the country into an unsafe cesspool. It's a reckless shortcut that prioritizes optics over the well-being of the nation!
I'm undecided on this. I've seen people rise from seriously deprived backgrounds to do well for themselves. I've also seen people who've received great support only to take advantage of it. One thing is for sure, these problems won't be solved with something as simple as a red or blue vote.
£22k is a fairly high income for North Wales. Our poverty here is masked by natural beauty and the wealthy Cheshire set. So we can sympathise with Grimsby.
My husband and i worked all our lives , but because we were born before 1953 , we only get the basic state pension , which is one hundred and sixty pounds less than the new state pension per month , for those born after 1953 . We get nowhere like two thousand a month like this lady . 3

I'm a fulltime secondary school teacher and a single parent of two children and I live on less than £1800 a month after tax, £2k a month on benefits without being taxed is not struggling.
tbf she has 4 kids and one is disabled who knows
Benefits are taxed. Not by much but they are and go towards NI which goes towards state pension.
State pension may not be given in the end though as benefit claimants may not have enough NI points/credits, or they will get the lowest amount.
Many will cry when it get to retirement age. Especially, if they’ve not saved towards a personal pension pot.
Exactly.
I am a single pensioner and i live in a little remote village with 1.400 £ in Germany, we are getting told: in one of the richest countries of the world. I raised 3 children as the sole breadwinner. With this little money I could not live in the big towns where I once earned my Money like Frankfurt, Freiburg, Berlin. I don't complain on my life but I feel there is increasing injustice and misery all over Europe at the moment.
No you're not. Teachers aren't that thick to judge people based on a video from one of the Murdoch media outlets.
While i do feel for some of these people, i work full time in a freezing damp factory and bring home almost £500 less a month than the first woman in this video.
its because they claim a disability on their kids - usually adhd or autism - and then they get paid as care workers for their own children

£3 for a fish and chip supper is brilliant.
But I cook my own meals and typically I spend £1.50 a portion. Chicken thighs, parsnips, onions, carrots, mushrooms and herbs chucked in a slow cooker, served with mash and broccoli - healthy, tasty and dead easy to make. It takes less than half an hour to make 6 portions.
I could afford to eat out every night - but it's cheaper and healthier to cook it myself.
That sounds delicious
@@BosworthMcG It is, I can assure you. I have an income of c£4000 a month (and I'm retired) but I spend well under £200 a month on food and that includes my contributions to the village food bank.

The joy in that elderly woman's eyes with the fish and chips box shows that what that business owner is doing is helping these people so much more than just providing a dinner. The condescending social worker who can't believe someone is shouting is more like what they are used to as far as help. Chippy's is giving people a treat that is nourishing and that they can afford. That helps them spiritually and socially not just economically. They are treated with dignity, not like a charity case. The owner knows what he is doing. He can pay his bills and keep his community going for his part.

FUCK ALL, WORKED, ALL MY LIFE, HAD MY OWN HOME, WELL PAID JOB, AND got made redundant!
Fight for the support, don't just accept less because that's what your given, you are human like the rest.

So, no... little sympathy from here. Prices in my city are vastly over-inflated for what the city offers, namely rent and food extortion, so 2k monthly in Grimsby must be luxury. Adidas trainers?? Nice... 🤔🤫

They aren't poor. I'm shocked to hear people getting benefits of F* 2K a month, and we don't get a single penny while still working hard enough to earn a mere £1500-£1600 a month.
You need to retrain and try and increase your income. Sorry but 2k is a very low amount for 4 children. You should not be envious of that
You should be mad at companies that think paying you 1500 a month is ok while they make huge bonuses.
They know poor people just spend it on drugs and booze. If they let normal people, the 30 million have 2000 a month inflation would go insane.
Unfortunately they need to control that 30 million by making it look like we need all your money to support these people. It's bs really just about controlling the average man just you wait in 10 years time when there's another 7 million people chasing what you want to buy each month.
Why do you work for half the national average income? You need a better job, not complain that other people don't suffer enough. If you must complain, take it to your boss, and to whoever it is that writes laws allowing people to be paid slave wages.

No it doesn't it shows how little they listened to communities who didn't want their industry signing away to the EU.
Many were more than happy to leave school and go into a trade like fishing, that used to pay well and was a job for life, the focus on education as it stands to today where being book smart and being able to tick the right boxes on a exam, is focused on far too much.
The push for pepper to go to university has made some young people's prospects unrealistic, they go to uni do a useless degree like a business degree, when they could just as easily have got on with a business to learn the ropes that way. Or worse they go and de some stupid degree like feminism, then they leave uni and are dumbstruck by the fact they can't find a decent job. Thos kids were sold the lie they could do anything and be anything, they leave uni with their degree and expectation of a grand paying job.

It's selfish and irresponsible to have 4 children when you can't even afford to support yourself. Less than 5 min in, and you have two impoverished, unmarried women with four children each.

@@blackthornhealing I appologise that you missed the point of my comment. You will notice in a lot of these programs that these people either drink alcohol, smoke or take drugs, or have tatoos, all the above cost a lot of money.
@@blackthornhealing Oh come on, just look at her face.
Well, thats the reason, W H Y lots of thosr people are poor for other things........
Did you not think to plan ahead for your older years?
i lived in a town in the uk which was just as bad. When you got to know people like the 2 you asked, you quickly found out what the issue was - alchohol and drugs. There is also a culture that believes the state owes them a living. Violence and vandalism, the same as in the town i lived in, destroying trust and peace and sanity. When you interviewed the man from the citizens advice there was a person shouting in the background, imagine that late at night, lets say 11 - then another starts at 2 in the morning - thats the real issue. When the restrictions on state payments started in the 80s it had a good effect in my small town - they couldnt afford to get high 3 or 4 nights a week - then it came to only 2 nights a week. The real issue is those who wreck others lives - you can cope with poverty.
2k amonth is loads I wish I had that I can't afford aholiday or weekend away and I work a 36 t 48 hour week I might some afford a cheap bottle of wine
@@reinhardvonlohengramm6296agreed! It’s lack of ambition to get out of their conditions. I am saying as someone from a council whose family was getting benefits. If anyone from the community wanted to better themselves and get away from that lifestyle, you’re almost judged for “being up yourself”. I do believe there are exceptions, but the majority of people don’t have the inner drive to leave these conditions. So glad I did
i live in a small town in france , the economy of the town is good due to tourism and industries present in the area but there is still poverty here , we had a family of white gypsies come in our building , they lived above us my god....... When they would close their door they wouldn't close it normally but would bang it and not once a day , like imagine that 20 or 30 times a day , always some mess around them, weird loud music at night , probably listening to it high , people that have nothing to do with our entrance coming in and out at night , (they broke the lock on the door of the main entrance) , i was afraid to go home at night after work you don't know what you can stumble upon....... They also robbed our 90 years old neighbor , a disaster , they finally got forced out but only after 2 years.......I also think i escaped death when i got to their door to tell to stop the noise the father went for something to get me with (maybe a knife or i don't know).
Those people are a disease.
Poverty is grinding, it grinds you down to the point where you can’t see upwards, so you can’t blame the majority of these people!
In other words poverty causes severe mental health problems, problems that put people on the poverty “merry go round.”
And what about those kids watching this happen, what do you think that will do to their delicate minds, I remember sitting on my bed, at 15 years old, considering suicide, because I could never see anything different, thinking what is the point?
Children need a Leader, but if that Leader (parent) is ground down in to the dirt🤔
@@wazz1154 you are quite right, but from what i saw many wanted to be there - the telly, the pubs, every time they got a bit antsy - drink till you forget - its not until you take that away that they begin to take responsibility - and yes suicide - thats why we need society to change - we need leaders who people can follow - not the left, not the right - but people who can set an example by what they do - and do.
I found several and followed what they did and soon enough - i was there too.
I live in Grimsby and have done for the last 30 years. I work full time for a reputable accountancy and payroll company. I only take home £1,600 a month.
But, unlike these people, I am not living on the street. My "meagre" monthly salary not only pays for our food and clothes it also pays the mortgage, all of the insurances, all local taxes and utilities and I still have enough left over every month so that I can save up for home improvement projects.
I am extremely grateful to have this job and the money it brings in and cannot understand why people who receive twice as much as me are struggling and are considered destitute. The problem is not one of money, but one of attitude.
drugs alcohol smoking betting tattoos are costly items and spending most of your money on this is a reason for food Banks I earnt €43 a week I had a food bank parcel because I was employed by myself and doing 64 hrs a week I still had to pay the council tax did not have heating and went to a friend's house for a bath some are more deserving than others
Grimsby seems adorable. I will visit one day, specially because of the warm and nice people.
1600 ain’t bad ,mate the average man in gy dnt make near that bro
I used to live in Burnley. It had a brilliant local economy with the mills and engineering. Now, its a shadow of its former self.
Who is to blame for the demise of British towns? Politicians, civil servants, activists, selfish big businesses (selling off mills) and business owners getting stuff made in China.
People need jobs, not benefits and with jobs comes prosperity. But the political and treacherous don't want the average Brit to be successful.
You are so right
English towns and cities not British.... They are the ones in power and have destroyed our country.. Time to wake up
You are spot on sadly pal
Jon you are not wrong. I come from coal, steel and shipyard country. Imagine owning a manufacturing company in uk today. Minimum wage, income tax, ni, rates, business tax, health and safety, environmental regs. etc. etc. etc. nothing wrong with these, but why should we have to compete with sweatshops around the world who don’t pay any of it?
I just bought a Harrington jacket, made in Blackburn. Yes it was a bit more expensive than an imported item, it cost £140, but the money stays in UK. My message is simple, shop smart, buy new stuff made here, so money is not sucked out of our country..
Why don’t the government put them in hotels like they do with immigrants
Blame game time is it??
But it's a racket and rich people are making money out of it, so it will continue.
Cambridge council tried to put my family in a hotel because of dangerous lead paint and lead-dust in a house, it was problematic because of pets, but with a lot of complaints and emails back and forth, a few meetings, they re-housed us fairly quickly, they had a safer house within a few weeks, but it was too far away, they offered about 4 houses, the one we took was/is a 1 minute walk away from the lead house. They did not clean that lead house or get rid of the unsafe lead paint or anything, they just shoved a foreign family in there, white, not sure from where maybe Poland or Bulgaria, they have young children. Our councils put these immigrant families with young children into the most dangerous and unsafe of council housing. What with that little African boy dying, i think if these people didn't hold this country in such high regard, they'd realize that they are safer back home. But the benefit money is certainly a draw. They should not allow immigrants, etc, any benefits until they've been here for working for 5yrs and applied for citizenship.
They have white privilege , asylum seekers are oppressed because of skin colour
The first 2 women both have 4 kids each !
Really !
Maybe Education is required !
Who has 4 kids when they don't have 2 penny's to rub together ?!
Unbelievable
It's not pennies they've been rubbing.. you have to question where are the fathers of the children as the state always seems to pick up the slack.
@@billdoorscapePerhaps look again to the government, because they introduced LASPO which prevented legal aid for contact cases in the family courts. The average private solicitor costs will be £12k. If those costs are unfeasible, the only other option is self litigation which often results in a "mother knows best" approach, and as a result, estates full of single mums.
What if they had money when they had the kids then their situation changed ?
I once worked with a woman who had 1 child. She told me he and her husband worked out that they could only afford 1 child and to give it a good life. They both worked in professional jobs and made that calculation wisely. Seems like a lot of people don’t think logically about this important subject.
Proud to have not voted ConLabLib in 40 years. I am confident I will never vote ConLabLib again !
Wasting your right to vote then are you not?? Thousands have died for your freedom yet you put your fingers up to them.
Meanwhile, all the gammons ARE voting, and they are all voting for the Tories. Just wait till you need to find health insurance on top of what little you already earn.
The poverty is shocking in the UK but people should not be reproducing when they can't afford to provide for so many children. £2K is more than people receive on a minimum wage. There should be mandatory classes in budgeting.
Very good idea and fin spending TOO We are all just emptying our pockets on TAT
The net is killing the streets just as supermarkets killed the small shops
Child allowance .....
Don’t help these actual Brits , but house random migrants who could care less about the country.
Just as screwed up as the States.
- 650K is LEGAL migration, 50K illegal (boats and lorries) - the Mainstream Media and govt distract the public from the real issue - always talking about boats !!!!!
Better do something and go to prison than living on the streets!
Couldn't care less! Could care less means they do care some and they don't.
And Canada! It’s time our government s take care of their citizens.
You reap what you sow.
If people are struggling to survive on state benefit - and often working ends up with less money - just imagine how hard it is surviving on a wage.
I see and hear it all the time. People saying that they do not work because they are better of on state benefits. I agree they are. WHY IS THIS?!
Why are wages SO LOW that people are better off not working.
It is not an issues that state benefit are high, THEY ARE NOT. Its that wages are so low that people end up with state benefit (working tax credit) to top up their wage. WHY?! Why are companies being allowed to pay people such low wages???
Grimsby is receiving 25 million pounds a year for 30 years to level up from this state it’s in. That’s 4 days expenditure on the migrant hotels. In 4 days the government spends more money than it’s willing to give the poorest area of our country in a year
And you think even without those migrants it would be better?
Hard reality is now ive heard numbers around 3 billion but thats next to nothing comparing on how much it cost to run a country like the UK for a year.
I had 2 children and my husband and I wanted another child, but we couldn’t afford to pay for college for 3 kids so we didn’t have another child. If you can’t afford kids don’t have them.
Exactly, couldn't agree more with you.
then why did u have the first two if u are crying for bills
Kids can pay for college you know. Or they might choose a trade.
The truth is, you don't know if you would have been able to afford it so you just cheated yourself.
College is free. University costs money.
I live in East Marsh, and I 100% agree. However, I do hope, for my kids' sake, that when they are my age, Grimsby will be back to its glory. It's a beautiful place, but we feel forgotten, and all the money the council puts into the town seems to be wasted. It's never put where it actually needs to be.
I live on the east marsh to I personally love Grimsby it really saddens me that half the shops and buildings have become derelict or unkept freshney place used to be such a great shopping centre along with the market it's gone so far downhill nothing left in the town now and the amount of homeless people here is forever getting more and more
Such places generally do not recover. But people can and should move to seek out chances elsewhere. Once the place has shrunk to a sustainable size, new things can grow.
Yes move, I moved from Lincolnshire up north and I'm way better off financially.
You know that it will not be. it will be absolute mayhem. 50 million pound limit to wealth. 100,billion is literally UNSPENDABLE
Salute to the fish and chips shop owner 🙏🏻🙏🏻👍🏻👍🏻
"The UK spends more than anywhere else in Europe subsidising the cost of structural inequality in favour of the rich".This was the headline from the Equality Trust’s cost of inequality report and analyse which came out couple of weeks ago,inequalities of income, wealth and power cost the UK £106.2bn a year compared with the average developed country in the OECD.Britain in the 1970s was one of the most equal of rich countries. Today, it is the second most unequal, after the US
Boom!
can we blame the foreigners it must always be some one else's fault
We follow the us into everything. I’m just waiting for guns to be legal in our country and then we will be the full mini me. Once the nhs is gone
Bless the chip shop owner, He keeps the price low and just covers his costs but he is helping the local people. When people on benefits are receiving more than working people it's hardly an incentive to work.
I agree. He is feeding the hungry, Those of us who aren't should aplaud him for his goodness.
I like the way he says "people can get a warm meal" not "a hot meal" lol
@@mikemccaine4229 , Evidently that gent surely knows how to care for himself, knowing that 'hot' meals causes esophagus ulcer and cancer over time, while warm meal does not, besides making one feel warm at the stomach. A rahter sophisticated and mature gent!
@@resnica3557 I doubt he meant that lol 😆 probably though warm sounds more comfortable in general.
The fish and chip shop owner has a heart of gold ❤
£3 for fish n chips so the rest of us are being ripped off £8 by me n no mushy peas 🙄
It's called business
Rather get ripped off than live there tbh
Because he has his own fish business going at the docks... 99.99% of all chippies don't have that.
and here lies "the problem!" some mums rely on the good ol, takeaway, they won,t cook a good ol, meal with potatoes, and vegetables even if it was "bangers and mash, and gravy ,you could feed a family for less than £5!! it,s time to educate these folk, the takeaway industries can see this and put their prices up knowing that "the lazy ones" will keep coming,!
they claim to be poor but in all of my working life 50 years, (now retired) I never took home more than £250 a week! and had a mortgage! it,s their surroundings that are poor ,not the people,🤔🤔🤔....
4 kids on benefits? Close your legs !!!!!
£2,000 a month on benefits ??? The first woman in this film is getting more money than me and I got work full time , I have to pay full council tax etc etc and I am not getting any cost of living money from anywhere she is better off than me !!!!!
And she admitted that she spends the money set out for her disabled child on other things and not the child!!! That's criminal.
The problem is your awful wages, not overgenerous benefits. Grow a backbone, stop picking on the weak, and join a damn union.
£2k for nothing, that's £200 less than me after I've paid my taxes with full time work often 60 hrs a week to look after my family. and the single mum with 4 kids can afford tattoos. Yes its a poor state of affairs but its a mindset not an injustice.
Thought the same. Tats and rings. Lucky her! 🙄.
She may of got those tattoos when she was working before being a single mum.
And please don’t try and pretend you thought those rings are real. They are primarks finest a £5 er at the most 😂
@@laurencooper3169 i think I have more money than her, and no rings. Or tats. Maybe I also have more common sense though 😂
@@laurencooper3169 also don’t have 4 children. Again, common sense!!!! 😂
@@gabyaeberli7057 money can’t buy compassion though- obviously 🙄
4 kids and no job, 2k in benefits a month is more than some earn, and they don’t have to pay tax
Nor rent
She can afford tattoos though , or do they qualify for benefits as well ?
My Scientist colleague have 1 kid but the child care is too much so they struggle while who do not work have an easier life ! what a world
Can afford tatoos,rings,and not working,great if you can get away with it.
It's a joke.
Looking at the thumbnail I was thinking, "Is that Grimsby? Nah, surely we aren't that poor. Oh-- it's Grimsby!" 😂
Me too. No way, thats Victoria Street! And the it was. Oh dear.
It's downright infuriating that a nation neglecting its own citizens is shamelessly importing others-securing them homes, jobs, or welfare.
Instead of squandering billions on ineffective foreign aid, immigration, or futile green initiatives that do zilch for the environment and cripple businesses, imagine channeling those funds to incentivize locals. Encourage them to work with higher wages, ignite entrepreneurial ventures, and provide incentives for families to invest in and revamp homes.
Importing individuals from struggling nations in the hopes of plugging workforce gaps isn't the answer. They often quit, pose training challenges, and a significant chunk ends up dependent on welfare or tangled in underground criminal pursuits, morphing the country into an unsafe cesspool.
It's a reckless shortcut that prioritizes optics over the well-being of the nation!
and the Billions spent in illegal wars !!!
Nothing to do with millionaires squandering dozens of tax money?!?
I'm undecided on this. I've seen people rise from seriously deprived backgrounds to do well for themselves. I've also seen people who've received great support only to take advantage of it. One thing is for sure, these problems won't be solved with something as simple as a red or blue vote.
@@aaroningl exception not the rule though
@@whateversunpopular1338 which ?
£2000 a month on benefits that's £400 a month more than what I get for working 172 hours per month, after tax and insurance so she is not in poverty
£22k is a fairly high income for North Wales. Our poverty here is masked by natural beauty and the wealthy Cheshire set. So we can sympathise with Grimsby.
My husband and i worked all our lives , but because we were born before 1953 , we only get the basic state pension , which is one hundred and sixty pounds less than the new state pension per month , for those born after 1953 . We get nowhere like two thousand a month like this lady .

@sunshine-qk8qe well I go to work 40 hours a week and don't get £2000 a month. With exception of working in London, £2000 after tax is a salary most people would love to have.
Disabled Child
Alas there are millions that are forgotten and when you do get yourself out of a situation you find yourself dealing with issues that have been pushed to one side just to surviive.
@@sunshine-qk8qeWhat is the area like where you live? Because that's the biggest issue here, not individual wealth but the wealth and investment of the entire area.
Why do they ALWAYS have more kids than they can afford ?
£2k a month is more than a lot of people earn ! Sorry idle and reckless
The chip shop owner needs to be recognised for a knighthood. What an honest bloke.
ABSOLUTELY
