Clacton-on-Sea, UK: Living in Post Brexit Society
Вставка
- Опубліковано 29 чер 2023
- How possibly could the UK vote for Brexit? In Clacton-on-Sea, a small seaside town, barber Susan and her clients reflects on current European issues like migration, religious extremism, economic decline and the position of the UK vis-à-vis the EU. As her barber shop serves as the local get-together place in the neighbourhood, we get to peek in the opinions of ordinary people and their hopes on post Brexit society.
Sonia is one of the very rare female barbers, who learned the profession since she was 14. With clients of both sides (the REMAIN voters and the LEAVE voters), we follow Susan balancing between being warm and social on the one hand and being closed and protectionist on the other - an issue that all European populations struggle with since the migration crisis and muslim extremism.

Somehow I don’t think Clacton was a thriving cosmopolitan hub before brexit.
Decline in the UK started long before anyone knew that word.
That is indeed correct.
1970ties was Bad too, Before EU UK was in bad Shape. Oil production, EU and deregulated financial markeds helped. Decline started after 2008 (Finansial crisis) and Brexit made it worse.

@@mabuhayproductionltd3627 I don’t think the west truly recovered from the GFC economically. Everything has just been on life support of QE and debt since then.
Not in Nord/East Europe, maybe In West/South Europe ? Irland is doing Fine i think, Greece is doing better. Spain& Portugal is Coping. Italy and France is doomed (as always). US is just 34 Trillion $ short 🙂@@bomberbolton
This is what happens when the working class fail to educate and inform themselves in order to act in their interests. They fall into ignorance and empty headed prejudice. Its embarrassing the depths to which my countrry has fallen
No, it’s called democracy.

Man I thought my life was depressing but after watching this I’ve got it pretty good tbh
I’m worried I could end up like these men.
Mwuahahhahahahhahahahaha this comment made my day
@@YasminaBluehi how are you nice day for you 🌹
And they did the docu during the summer. I can't imagine how depressing it is in winter!!
I live here and believe this video has taken the crap and the woe is me . There is a totally different truth and so so many moving here love it and tell us you don’t have a clue what you have here you should live where I just came from , please do not believe what this video is portraying it’s totally untrue
I lived in Greece for 3yrs and the first thing I noticed when I returned was how horribly unhealthy everyone looked in England. Greeks are poor, many far poorer than us, surviving on 500 euros a month, but they have the sun and they eat good basic nutritional food and they look so much better for it. The people in this video look like they are waiting to die. It's depressing. And I think when you live in a depressing place surrounded by depressing people you want someone to blame for your unhappy condition - and the Mail, The Express and the Sun blame foreigners.
The Greeks have not only healthy food and sun but also the support of their extended families and neighbours. I am sure it is their secret to go through hard times less depressed. The barber shop clients are lonely.
The only healthy ones were a couple of 20 year olds having their hair cut. They weren't interviewed.
I was at a karaoke night in small town Alberta a few weeks ago. Same thing. From age 30 to 80, all had some form of eating disorder. Prosperous, but they live on ready meals & restaurant food.
its the foul air..too much air pollution..too many ppl n cars etc
Your spot on mate,blaming immigrants for our own fuck ups in life.
The Balkan nations know who to survive and be beautiful looking good în The same Time, look at The diference bethwen Balkan women and West women.
Conviction that someone has nothing to do when he cannot drink and smoke is a tragedy.
Could be on to something there.. lack of drink is certainly an issue and the withdrawal symptoms are somewhat there
A guy comes to a doctor with his medical tests. The doctor is looking at them, examining carefully… The guy is sitting, waiting… and finally interrupting the silence with question:
- Doctor! Will I live till, say, 80?!😮
The doctor:
- Do you smoke, sir?
- NO!
- Do you drink?
- NO!!!
- Do you have sex?
- No!
- So why do you want to live till 80?!
@kampai71 with that logic, most Brexiteers won't make it to 80 so hopefully inflation reduces then

A London banker, a Brit and a Turk are sitting peacefully at a table. On this table stands a delicious marzipan cake, divided into twenty pieces. After a short time, the banker stands up, takes nineteen twentieths of the cake for himself and at the same time whispers to the Brit: hey, that Turk over there is intending to steal your rightful part of the cake!

The level of ignorance is astounding. The British media has a lot to answer for.
People have to be responsible for their own laziness in finding stuff out.the internet is not just the daily mail. People are lazy that’s all
You know it all of course 🙂
@@wurstsalatohnegurke Forced re-education maybe?
@@margin606 I love how that's what you think they must be thinking when they're all they pointing out is how lazy a lot of native British people are when it comes to educating themselves.
You can think whatever you want and believe whatever you want about how the world works and who's in charge of what, but you need to have a logical, rational basis that can be argued with supporting evidence otherwise people are going to call you lazy and stupid and they would be right in that assessment.
Unfortunately it's the older generation of Daily Mail readers who perpetuate it. Fortunately they're dying off each day.
Now what I can't understand is so many people voted for Brexit, and these same people are now saying that they didn't expect it to be as bad as this. I live in Germany, and I knew exactly what would happen, because the German government and media told the truth.
The fact that we now have more deals with the world may not be trickling down to us peasants. A barber saying how miserable everything is would be just as miserable if we were in the EU. The left are making everything as miserable as they can. Also our bureaucracies are using brexit as an excuse as punishment because they are miserably left and their agendas are nasty.
Germany sucks bawls though
Yeh right….like they said that sanctions on Russia would be a good idea after Merkel led Putin up the Garden path with the Minsk 1&2 agreements !
Now the EU sanctioned Russia and the Russian sanctioned the EU back …….how are the Gas prices in Sausage Wüsrst Länder zu tage mein Herr ?

The sinking slowly has changed to sinking quickly.
Congratulations to the authors of this documentary. The direction of camera, the narrative, everything is beautifully made. The barber lady of Clacton already has a place in my heart.
Wow, must be a big heart
The way the barber is with her customers is wonderful! An asset to the community
She's a counsellor as much as a barber ❤
as long as you're white and english she's good to you
the way she was with her customer is one of the reasons why 'turkish barbers' (most of them not from turkey but iraq, iran etc) are some popular. better service, less chit-chat
@@simongrushka983Exactly, more cutting less chatting.
She's lovely
I absolutely love how she says that immigrants do nothing for the country and that they send money to their homelands, then goes on enumerating the number of businesses owned and operated by those same immigrants in HER street. Really? They opened most of the shops in the area and she still thinks they don't contribute anything to the local economy?
The problem is, they believe it really!
Quite. How dare these immigrants come over here, opening up shops and contributing to the local economy
@@martincosby9743 ... bringing their work ethic with them...
This is such a firm view held by many people in the UK. Immigrants are visible and an easy target for their discontent. What they fail to acknowledge is irrespective of whether immigration existed - the working class would still not receive equitable social and economic outcomes. The actual economic issue here is NOT immigration but the inequitable distribution of wealth within Britain; and the paucity of public sector services (it has been empirically demonstrated again and again that immigration is linked to economic growth). But immigrants are an easy target. The gutter press have for decades demonised immigrants and peddled the myth that they receive benefits that 'white' British do not receive. Oh - and WW1 and WW2 were actually not about Islam. What worries me is that these views mirror those within Germany before the election of Hitler as Chancellor.
@@elizabethring1452at the same time there is the issue that the UK has allowed the instatement of sharia courts and has been (still is?) deathly afraid to harm the sensibilities of muslims, as evidenced by willful existence of rape gangs like the Rotherham one.
You can see the Sun, Daily Mail, and the Express have done their job.
And Nigel Farage, when he decided to make an appearance here.
Brexit was an enormous waste of time a money. We got nothing out of it
and GB, UK, Telegraph and BBC
All the right wing British Murdoch press have including BBC, Sky news and ITV. They all keep up a constant barrage of blame the foreigner and negativity to keep the rich wealthy and the poor in blaming the other
First their opinion is disregarded by the ruling liberal class because they're uneducated, narrow minded bigots. Then they are forced to live amongst immigrants they didn't want there in the first place, because they can't afford to live in a white british neighbourhood. It is injustice and cruelty. People's will should be respected.
I still live in the family home here in the east end of London. My family had market stalls along Hoxton/Dalston markets and I had 2 butchers shops. We were at the forefront of multicultural changes in our area and having our way of life changed forever. It's been happening here for over 80yrs. You cannot harp after what is gone forever. Just count yourself blessed you were a part of it and remember the good times , but that doesn't mean the won't be more. Everything changes. Adapt to anything thrown at you, no matter how alien the culture is and just live life the best you can.
oh, ridley road market by any chance?
lol ...Ridley was a good earner at one stage, but like all things they just had their time, plus the market inspectors were pushing out traditional stall holders in favour of more exotic venders . I visited Ridley just after Covid for " nostalgia " reasons. The was a large police operation going on and lots of angry locals. " Chunky's " the African meat selling unit along the right hand side of the market was being raided. They were selling illegal " Bush Meat "...haha How things have changed. @@fabiobilal

Such an original and well put together documentary. Loved the music and images used between 18:00 - 19:00
There is an air of hopelessness and desperation in many towns in the UK and the solutions to solving them are not easy. Although I was appalled with the views I'm not surprised. I still found myself sympathising with most of them, though. Not their views, but their unhappiness and ignorance. The barber was clearly not a bad person, she shows compassion. We don't know her life story and what influences she had on her life. We shouldn't berate people like her, we should listen and then challenge her views in a compassionate way that will make people like her reconsider. We can't berate everyone who thinks like this, I believe a lot of them are reasonable and can come round to a different way.
LOL what original about it? Just another attempted hit job against a culturally conservative area.
Great documentary. I was born in Clacton, I use to live and work in and around the Clacton area, but left for Australia years ago as the writing was on the wall and I could see the direction it was heading... sad and depressing. In my opinion the area started to go downhill in the early 1980's, Clacton lost Butlins Holiday Camp with its associated employment and spending, and the local council; Tendring District Councils lack of initiatives, investment and resistance to change. I believe a sign of Clacton's low status can be seen in the high street scene, there are plenty of Betting shops, Fast food shops, 50p & Pound Shops, Charity and Secondhand Shops... but no real 'main stream' high street retailers. The man at 21:15 made a lot of sense.

@@MarlboroughBlenheim1 My friend, I live in the NW of the UK. Enough said.
Right after the referendum I left the UK after 8 years of working and living there (went back to Germany) because I knew there'd be chaos. the entire thing was so haphazard and hijacked by all the wrong people from the start. I couldn't vote of course and I was so disappointed. I loved the UK -still do, apart from politics - but I'm better off home. I earn more (teacher) and rents are much cheaper, unless you live in the big cities. And of course, I still have my EU passport :) I just feel so sorry for all my former UK students who are now young adults and don't have the same opportunities that I had.
if i were you, i would emigrate to Switzerland. Germany is at the beginning of the recession.
Germany lost the Nordstream to the Neocons in Washington. Your future isn't bright. Many people here blame the UK's demise on Brexit, which might be a mitigating factor but is not the chief cause. All western countries are in a rapid decline. If Britain stood alone in the abyss, we might point more fingers at Brexit. But since we're all singing from the same song sheet, there are many other issues at play.
@@wellardme what you say is false, in Europe only Germany is in crisis (negative GDP growth) and the reason is to be found in their stupid energy policies, you talk about Nord Stream, but you forget to say that it was wanted by Schröder on which first initiated the nuclear phase out and then made Germany depend on Russian gas, lo and behold Schröder is now a member of Gazprom. If Germany had left its nuclear power plants operational and hadn't wasted public money unnecessarily on thousands of wind turbines, it wouldn't have been so dependent on gas and now they wouldn't be in crisis.
@@wellardmeWrong , many Western countries are in an UPSWING. , YOU clearly are not....
Well, the UK is doing way better than GER, its recession time 🎉
The barber was very kind offering the man company and going in to her shop instead of being alone. I am glad she has her regulars and I agree. This is Scotland and there are Turkinsh barber shops everywhere.
I really enjoyed this mini doc. Interesting and enlightening. Great work 👍🏻
I'm Essex born and bred, this is a very familiar world to me, albeit Clacton is particularly isolated and forgotten.
The thing that gets me is that these people are decent human beings really - most are just struggling through life, day after day, in the way that millions of people have done so for centuries. It is just so tragic that the bloody Tory establishment and the bloody right wing rags just ruthlessly manipulate them in every way they can. When you think about the REAL reason we had Brexit foisted on us, it breaks my heart - because these people are the last to profit from it in any way whatsoever. Meanwhile the super rich are spiriting way billions into their own wealthy pockets and very little of that benefits the UK.
We need to do something about the Tory toilet tabloids. Somehow they have to be brought down.
Decent human beings? More like obese human beings.
I don't agree with your statement that they are decent human beings. Just because they on surface they seem nice saying hello and love to you doesn't mean they are decent human beings. They voted for racist and xenophobic policies. What do you call people who vote for racist and xenophobic policies? Racist, xenophobes. We judge people based on their actions. Despite the evidence they keep insisting that their path is the right one. Perhaps we can say that they are victims themselves and most of the blame falls on the Tory government, but these people are not blameless or nice human beings. These people are the same type of people who voted for Hitler and Nazis in 1933. These people are the people who keep Tories in power. Unless you want to declare them mad and institutionalize them, then these people are responsible for their actions.
@@ShangZilla Unfortunately your comments are founded in intolerance and no small degree of hatred
NOBODY expressing views like these people is decent.
@@ShangZilla I'm only seven minutes in (just stopped to look at the comments), but from what I've seen of the barber so far, I was thinking exactly the same.
To be fair, she is clearly very ignorant, and being ignorant doesn't make you a nasty person per se. But when it comes to Brexit, that ignorance is underpinned by racism and xenophobia.
Brilliantly made documentary - thank you. So, bottom line is Brexit isn't working. Who would have thought?
So, bottom line is Brexit isn't working.
All brexit did was to re open a festing sore of social discontent.
Very biased
Its not working due the Govt letting it coast
Yeah, all the champagne socialists like to blame Brexit but don't provide any qualifying stats. Funnily enough, all Western countries are in a rapid decline. I suppose the Germans can blame Brexit? Yeah, Brexit blew up the Nordstream pipeline and definitely not the US. And the drugged up homeless in Oakland USA can blame Brexit too? Something much more sinister is at play. Oh and the EU is about as democratic at Stalin was!
This town was shit before Brexit.
From 12:06 What a sweetheart. Offering to be there for isolated men without friends.
It makes me weep to see how the bottom quartile of UK society are struggling without enough money to survive, and in Peter’s case, any meaningful connections.

Well, at least she studies the bible, right? Maybe she should study French and let the bible be. She might learn how to protest, and learn about history. But I think it won't happen anytime soon.
Positive? Did you hear the nonsense she was coming out with?
This is a brilliant but also infuriating snapshot of England.
I'm born and raised London and it's a completely different culture here to so much of the country. I think it's really important to see how so much of the rest of the country feel about these issues.
The disenfranchisement is obviously very real. A lot of the people in this film feel betrayed by the last few decades of government, and I do think that's real. Governments have increasingly prioritised the interests of the wealthy at the expense of the majority working class. I think almost all of us agree on that. The racism comes in when we try and understand why that's happening and who is benefiting, and perhaps also a difficulty understanding that in the modern world the upper class is international (Our Prime Minister held onto his permanent US visa while serving as chancellor, his wife dodged taxes through non-dom status, as thousand of other wealthy expats also do) and immigrant labour is generally cheaper and easier to exploit (especially illegal undocumented labour, because they can't just quit and get another job).
Have you ever think about the intention behind Brexit?
Cui bono?
Brexit as worked exactly as intended.
England can now maintain is tax havens for the rich.
That was the only political intention behind leaving the rules of the common market.
The scrap of EU rules is to guarantee a no easy return path.
The day the EU proposed ending tax havens the English politicians started talking about leaving the EU.
Time Line:
2013 David Cameron asks the EU not to include UK offshore trusts in the EU wide crackdown on tax avoidance , the EU says “NO”.
2014 October Arron Banks donates £1 million to UKIP.
2015 October Vote Leave “let's take back control” formed.
2016 February David Cameron announces a referendum to leave the EU.
2019 EU anti-tax avoidance proposals published.
2019 EU anti-tax avoidance laws accepted by the EU.
2020 31 January 23:00 GMT UK leaves the EU.
2020 01 February EU parliament makes ATAD (anti-tax avoidance directive) EU law, which members have to introduce to national law.
Brexit is complete, the single item on the agenda as been attained.
The rich that payed for the politicians bus have their sovereignty now.

at this point, I am looking for a Financial Team here in the UK that could save my family and my future from this economic hardship right now.
This is why I always tell my friends that most successful businesses and people achieve their success through research and consultation with a financial advisor; that's how the wealthy maintain their wealth.
@@billanderson9958 please can you share the financial team info ??
Just a few days ago, I was speaking to my friend at a small pub. I was telling them something about having a financial advisor who can guide you on a path that would help reduce investment losses. They were all laughing, but I'm glad someone spoke what's on my mind. That's why many people suffer losses in their businesses because of the lack of a financial advisor.
You're absolutely right. I worked as a doctor in the NHS for 20 years, and one day my colleague, who had worked with me for over 14-plus years, just quit his job. I started seeing his Facebook posts about expensive trips and stays in 6-star hotels. I asked him if he had won the lottery, and he replied that he had found a Financial Team that helped him achieve a potential goal of £600,000 within 4 months through investments. That blew my mind, and I am currently working with the same financial team. It has been a breakthrough for me. I've wanted to quit my job, but it has always been my passion.

For international viewers, according to figures from the Ministry of Housing, the Clacton neighbourhood of Jaywick was confirmed as the most deprived neighbourhood in England as recently as 2019.
which is 3 years after the BREXIT referendum
Not even 5,000 people live there!

I’ve been living in London for 13 years. Left it before the referendum (end of 2015) as I knew the outcome of that referendum and what was about to follow.
Being patriotic is OK, being nationalist it is NOT
I’m better of in Italy now, I’m not depressed like I used to be. Quality food, lots of sunshine, mountains, seaside ect
Still I’ll say many thanks to the UK for the experience I had while I’ve lived there
I'm Italian too and "gone back home" too ... I felt some difference in the 5 years after - e.g. some shopkeepers asking me "where are you from?" totally out of context
Being Nationalist used to be the norm until globalists made it defacto illegal unless you're an Israeli
Central northern Italy is incredible, wealthy, rich, full of work, as soon as you arrive in Naples everything changes, Italy is irrelevant because they are two countries in one, like London is rich and the rest of the UK is light years poorer

Excellent video and very sad. Down here in Australia we call these people Whingeing Poms. We know all English people aren't like that but there seems to us something broadly embedded in their culture which means that they're never happy unless they're miserable. These people are so defeated which is a shame but they seem to just blame everyone else for their problems instead of doing something about them.
It’s like the news on the television here whinge whinge whinge. There are some great people here that don’t whinge (often not white).
The English are master whinjers though, they’re always complaining, incapable of taking responsibility for their lives & everything is always the fault of “those bloody foreigners”.
I don't want to see any of these fuckers coming to Australia.

It may be very deprived but I like Clacton and its people. It is a very friendly, tight knit place and people a lot. They make the most of what they have and help each other out. In that sense it is the best of British. I used to go often when at university in Colchester. I’m from Chatham in Kent which has similar poverty issues.

This was Clacton when we were in the EU I love there and the melodys shop has not been open for years.
Clacton has been on a downward spiral ever since Butlins closed down in the 80's, I moved from there in 2007, don't know if Clacton still does but it used to hide it's dysfunctional in Jaywick where the rents were cheap enough to not have to pay a top up. The Council have been trying to get their hands on the Brooklands area of Jaywick and clear it to build fancy town houses, so a lot of the dysfuncional are slowly ending up in the town making it look worse. I moved from Clacton to Hastings so it's out of the frying pan and into the fire. Fond memories from Pre EU, but decades of being in it has seen Britain selling it's utilities to european owners, closing down industries and then easy cheap travel throughout Europe has destroyed a lot of seaside towns. Who would have thought that going from one Hotel and a Pier would end up looking like this.
I had connections with the town through my ex in-laws and a brief spell of work there from the mid 1980's to 2005 and agree with all you said. Jaywick is a real eye opener, certainly was for my current wife when we drove through it (rapidly) in 2013 I think!
notwithstanding the content in the video, Clacton has been crumbling for years - everyone who could leave, left
Right on so many levels.
It's often the case that people who complain about the place they live in being a dreadful dump don't realise that it's a dreadful dump because they live there. Imagine having that lot for neighbours.
If you ever wondered why people sang ‘hurrah the witch is dead’ when Thatcher died this film tells you why.. Towns like Clayton are full of people who thanks to the Tories grew up without any education..

yes but its just 1 part of the problem. Blair, Brown, Cameron, Johnson, Sunak. None of them actually were interested in taking UK into a glorious 21st century. No vision. No investment. eg Ive just spent 90 mins in a fabulous Spanish NHS hospital, fell off my bike, big facial wound. I was checked out, x rayed, wheeled back to the doctor, and given pills, with no fuss. In, out , done. The NHS in UK is a disaster. At least in the 80s it was functioning well and u could see a doctor.
Is Clayton the name you educated types give the town?
As a child in the 1970’s living on a South London council estate we would often go to Highfield holiday park in Clapton for a week ..friends on the estate were impressed, they’d go to Brighton or Jaywick Sands.. Clacton was viewed as a more upmarket place to stay .. happy memories, not been back in 45 years

Turkey, Syria and other countries mentioned are not and never have been members of the EU. Voting to leave wasn’t going to stop that immigration. Yet for British immigrants to go to other European countries to live was seen as OK. It’s all very confusing.
They expected the uk to control their borders but the politicians do nothing!! There complaints are justified. Other countries are developing...the uk remains quite a stagnant place..as we have relied on unskilled jobs that don't do much to increase wealth in the uk...and benefits, and wage rates still remain low ( a lot of part time jobs that are OK for a while...even immigrants don't like a lot of the unskilled jobs. I should know..I worked in ireland for 11 months as a kitchen Porter and no one worked for longer than 3 months.

In 2013 a report was brought out called Turning the Tide which was produced by the think tank Centre for Social Justice founded by Iain Duncan-Smith.It looked at five seaside towns including Clacton all experiencing long term decline and different reasons why.For Clacton a third of the population are of retirement age,the 5th highest in the country but because they don't spend enough money within the local economy,it doesn't create an substantial economic boom to attract businesses and companies to come and invest in Clacton and create jobs.With a high concentration of elderly people you then get a high concentration of retirement and care homes which is what Clacton and a bit further up the coast Frinton has got.Many of the people who work in them are east europeans,If you want to kick them out of the country then thats fine but you lose a big chunk of a workforce that keep these places going however not many british people are running to join the queue to replace them.For that single chap unable to get any form of housing from the local council is sad and I do feel sorry for him but he lost my sympathy the moment he said that its either female with a child or someone with a brown face is giving priority.It's complete hogwash,Tendring District Council does not what is now known as flexible,recyclable properties available to hand out,the last time it had any surplus housing stock where the waiting list was less than 18 months/2 years was in 2011.How do I know this,well before moving away in 2021 after living in Colchester since 2009,I worked on a couple of social projects in Clacton,nearly 40% of the overall funding came from the EU and we came across all the problems first hand that Clacton has and not from heresay and tabloid front page headlines.Does anyone remember Douglas Carswell,the MP for Clacton who jumped from the tory party to UKIP and was one of the main instigators of the Leave campaign,well he's left alright,now in a very well paid job working for a libertarian think tank organisation in America.
Exactly, turkeys who voted for Christmas
Absolutely shocking what a cruel thing to do to your constituents who trusted you. Shame!
Phillipe Clacton like many seaside town is know as the place where you go to die......
These people are deeply conservative, very much brough up with a view of the UK (& British Empire ) which is at odds with history and values so Brexit for them was a sticking two fingers up at what they saw as foreigner and strangers and liberal lefties.
Essentially there are large divisions between those that took advantage of Thatcherism and right to buy generation that thought moving to Clacton would be the dream retirement. The point is you had these same types in Spain who retired there and voted leave.....You could not make it up.
The problem is they believe the headlines because that is essentially what they were taught about the UK and its exceptionalism and so to find out we are not exceptional is actually something that I believe you'll find they can comprehend. it is like being told you are adopted by your parents and seeing your real parents you'll have confusion & denial and a complete lacking of making any sense simply put it would all be rather scary.
That these people didn't confront reality and don't really want to is part of the problem. The reality is that whilst we as a nation thing that Brexit was bullshit for want of a better word what people can't contend with is their view of the world is just so wrong and their decision making is so bad.
Imagine that 52% of us who have the vote decided to burn their house down.....You would think the other 48% would not want much to do with them.

Not sure where to begin. The OBR report talks about lost growth. we would have been 4% better than we are now if we had stayed in the EU or had a deal where trade was not disrupted.
If you look at our GDP as a graph you will have seen that the UK GDP took a dip when others grew strongly out of the pandemic. atr one point we were the only G7 country not to have our GDP back to prepandemic levels. At the moment you could cherrypick and say Germany is in recession but if you look at their overall GDP or GDP per capita or any other metric I think the smart money is on wanting to be in germany than in the UK.

BREXIT is a powerful example of disastrous British government. I'm a Brit who (no option) left the UK when Thatcher ruled. I liked that she destroyed the ridiculous union behaviour of the 70's, but she was also totally indifferent to human suffering. I've spent most of my life travelling but was resident in Holland for nearly 30 years. Holland (NL) has a drugs problem, has problems with minorities & criminals etc., BUT, when you look at the visuals, and speak in generality (dangerous but often valid), Holland is cleaner, better dressed, more healthy, more modern, better organised, and has a more affluent population than the UK. I do not believe Dutch education is better, nor that the Dutch are better human beings. But they choose to be better role models for their children, to spread money more evenly and create acceptable living standards for the vast majority, and to apply socially-accepted laws quite sternly. You will not see many dilapidated, old, unpainted dirty shop fronts, nor people swaggering with bling and cash. Dutch governments are coalitions that prevent radical changes from one administration to the next. And all Dutch governments/banks support small businesses as a key to big business success. The UK was and is a society for the elite, the wealthy, and the latest type of high-income families, - but screw the rest. A-la Republican USA. And just look at America now - millions of homeless, rampant crime, total gap between citizens and police, mass gun murders every month, and a constant stream of divisive lies from politicians (just like Boris). This is the current direction of the UK. It's not because of immigration or foreigners (which UK has had since 19th century), but because of UK politics and poor government.
The bottom 25% in the US have a miserable life but the middle class and upper arguably have a better standard of living. In the UK it seems like everyone but the ultra wealthy is fucked, and theres little opportunity to get ahead. It’s just looks depressing with no hope to be honest.
So well written, I had to save it on my computer.
So as you’ve got older life seems to have got easier. I bet that only happens in Holland.
Illegal immigration of none-compatible cultures is not helping trust me on that

I left a very congested south of England (Portsmouth, Gosport), 2008. I had PTSD. I’d served 12 yrs in the British Army, operational tours, lost mates, bits of mates. I can’t relate to civvy st. So I couldn’t handle the relentless petty crime, the aggression on the streets, constantly having to defend yourself, your neighbours, your loved ones. I left for rural France. Decompression, else get killed or end up in prison. My only skill was working/surviving in nature. I got a forestry job. A pittance because I had no quals . But slowly set myself up. Lot of state training aid. I didn’t claim benefits. Could’ve done. Client base established. And the freedom of nature. Did a lot to change local attitudes towards respecting nature. It’s not the countryside here. It’s nature. Even got a pension!! I was horrified when UK voted to leave the EU. Not because it affected me. But the social rot was setting in well before and where I lived it had absolutely nothing to do with immigration. I’m tempted to say to Brexiteers, “Suck it up”. But in a way they’ve been betrayed by self-seeing politicians across the political spectrum. In another sense they were stupid enough to believe the endless lies. I heard a veterans’s charity to whom I’d donated being interviewed (informally in a pub) saying ‘Bring back the Empire’ as if we could somehow undo Suez. Knuckleheads. So "Suck it up” on balance seems reasonable.

Note to self: stop blaming other people for your problems and take some responsibility for yourself.
I 100% agree with you. However, also note that not all the problems of a place is the result of its inhabitants actions, or absence thereof. Sometimes it is the fault of the government.
Exactly! The man at the beginning who daughter is with a man who slammed her baby against the wall, how is that the immigrants fault? Perhaps he should have raised a daughter with enough confidence to not have to chain herself to a man like that. Then the guy who tried to sell his Iphone 6, why is he unemployed - get a job. He should ask one of the Turks for a jo in their shop. Also Susan, Turkey is not in he EU and is not a poor country, so the Turk's probably earned their money in Turkey and are using that money to open a shop in the UK.

2014 October Arron Banks donates £1 million to UKIP.

We were really living in our own little bubble in London.

The incredulity once the results of the vote started coming in… It pains me to see all these communities struggling even more after leaving. Several generations left in this downward spiral of poverty, with no resources (money, energy, knowledge, experience, clout, or family support - you name it) to get out of it. In their desperation they must have sensed an opportunity when the Brexit vote came around, and the greedy tabloids threw themselves into the fray, spreading utter lies. What will it take to get Britain back on its feet?
