COVID-19: Hunger, cold and poverty in lockdown
Вставка
- Опубліковано 18 січ 2021
- In one of England's most deprived towns, people are queuing for food as the winter lockdown bites.
As well as poverty, people in Blackpool and across the UK are struggling more with mental health issues as job losses, business closures and not being able to see family and friends take their toll.
If you've been affected by any of the issues reflected here, you're not alone.

Just remember, not 1 of these politicians or MSM employees have missed a single pay cheque since all this started. We are not in this together
In fact they got a pay rise
Nice quote
Too true people working through lockdown like us if were told to go home and isolate after been close to people at work our reward 90 pounds statuary sick pay cheers boris
Neither has anyone else who can/had to still work
Of course we're not, never have been.
Those politicians bang saying they know how hard it is for everyone, while sitting in their million pound houses never having to worry about where their next meal is coming from!! They really are an utter disgrace to this country and itself people.
Well said👍🏻
Don't u mean in their multi million pound family home and all they have to worry about is keeping their mistress happy in their second home
And we the taxpayer fund them and don't bat and eye lid. One day we will riot. One day...

£22bn on a test and track programme that doesn’t work yet we have people starving across the country. Make that make sense.
Ah but no doubt those involved will make some generous donation to the Tory party, so it’s a great success for boris and his pals.
Spent?
It was 22bn given to friends of the government.

It makes sense because the reasons people are poor or not poor isn't dependant on hand outs by government.
Sorry i can't 🤷♀️ don't trust a guy who can't comb his own hair
“We must protect the old and vulnerable”.
can we see now that it was never about protecting them.
Of course ..thats why they were dying because they couldnt afford heating!😨
Nope it was about protecting themselves and their own agenda.
Its about protecting the big Pharma and now more and more people especially the eldery are dying from the covid vaccines!
All Rona viruses including the common cold are seasonal (3 months) so why is this rona so different?
@@youmustbekidding6712 to bring the great reset they used this to accelerate the agenda
We're all in this together, unless your rich or comfortable enough not to have any worries. The rest of us cease to matter.
This is a view shared quite commonly between left & right wing voters, yet Johnson & the Tories have retained and grown their support for years even when there was a genuine choice with Corbyn offering something very different since he opposed private wealth & corporate power. Right wing voters massively underestimate the power of the media which they claim to hate, a lot of their views align very strongly with the messages transmitted by the corporate media.

Exactly... all still in full pay.
Malcolm they do not care it’s time to riot now they are taken the piss

This should replace the existing propaganda so people can open up their hearts and minds to what's actually happening. This is so heartbreaking I can't stop crying.

Certainty isn't the government or police
Meanwhile our leaders and their acquaintances are making millions out of this .
Not just the leaders. SO many people are scamming the system and loving it. Also, alot of people in well paid jobs and top businesses including the coveted British pub are raking it in on furlough. e.g doing an online selling project and a side freelance thing as well as getting furlough for there business, while others get nothing or the pathetic universal credit amount.
should be investigated
It's not just Blackpool. Poverty is everywhere in the U.K. and yet there are so many adverts asking people to donate to charities abroad. My partner whose from Romania asked me, "Why are so many people homeless and starving in England when England is a richer country than Romania?" My answer was, "Politicians". To which he replied, "Ah yes. Corruption!"
Yes,he’s so right.
"The Government Sacrifice Human Lives over their own Matters." Best way to describe all of it.
@Unbearable Muteness True, but they do only care about Themselves, no one else, so maybe both?

The riots will be prevented with 'zones' in which restrictions and curfews will apply, in addition to roadblocks. I can imagine public transport will be heavily restricted and monitored also.

Videos of all the test centres being empty all the time , so who is getting tested , where and how ?
The statistics are written up by the government, why are funeral homes not busy? bodies pilled up from the 'covid' deaths.
Mickey mouse
Lies, lies and deception.
Testing centres should be running at capacity all the time. If they have spare they should be mass testing schoolchildren, NHS workers, care home residents and workers, the elderly and vulnerable, and anyone else. What's the point of having all that testing capacity and not using it
This is a disgrace in our day and age, as a people and communitys who need to stand together because our government is failing us in every way, we the people can do it together
Jordan,still just not enough people waking up.
That is precicely what the Tory Gov want; us to feck off and fend for ourselves and the people in this video and others in a similiar situation voted them into power!
Left to the people once again, well done Blackpool, big love from Scotland 💚 👍
Live in Blackpool myself we do appreciate the Scottish have supported this town for generations. Cheers mate,
Its all testing how far they can go with awer freedom.
The bug corporates are lobbying the government worldwide to turn us more like China because they make far more money like that
We goto get everyone back to work back to what we looked on as normal. Surely everyone can see this is Madness
Lol.
That is never going to happen. The economic crash caused by this scamdemic isnt quite finished yet. "New normal" they have been spouting it for nearly a year. Its abnormal but they are trying to convince us that is what is required and normalize it. They are to be fair doing an amazing job. Look at all the mask wearing, social distancing and lockdowns all complied with by the majority. Wait for the "long dark winter" we are promised. Expect disruption. Food, electricity supply chain breakdown and more....

Godbless people like this guy 🙏
And the best thing is it's forced on us by the government of the people 🤣🤣
Our country is in such a bad state. We have to pull together help level up our country and give people a fair chance.
Cut foreign aid, pull out of the endless wars, start taxing the multi national companies their fair share and start investing in skills and jobs for young people. We have to do better than this for goodness sake 😩
@Steven Steven I can agree, but my point is we need to start putting it into action Steven
Nevermind cut foriegn aid. We should stop it completely, at least until the country is back on its feet (if we ever do recover that is). The 10 billion we are sending abroad in foreign aid could help massively towards homelessness and our own people going hungry. No one will send us any aid if we end up in the gutter (which is where we are heading).
@Steven Steven 10 billion pounds is not peanuts no matter what scheme it's part of. 10 billion pounds could almost certainly end homlesness in the UK for the forseeable future. So sending that money abroad to line the pockets of foreign politicians is disgraceful.
All this is horrific in England we have people like this, yet this won't be seen by Boris and his government they won't have to see the faces on these people having to ask for food and help. All they see if their warm houses stocked full of food. Its about time Boris did see this isnt it about time Boris and his party went out and faced these people and then see how they react.

These people all get $405 a month and there rent paid from the government. More than most country's pay there workers a month. Also Free medical from the NHS, so I would say it is a first world country.
Yes with 3rd world citizens!
Imo the spikes in anxiety and so called "mental health" have been happening for a number of years now, not just because of the pandemic. I think the world is changing so rapidly because of the ease of access to information that people get overwhelmed by the pressure upon them to adapt. This is especially true with the older generations, they tend to feel left behind and forgotten about as the times they grew up in were so very different.
Every safety valve and socialisation method has been restricted and made illegal. No pub, no church, no gym, no work, stay in house all the time. These are behavioural change methods used to break prisoners.
