Can someone explain to me why the human rights act protects migrants entering a country illegally , but doesnt protect the indigenous population . Surely if mugrants have the right to food , shelter etc so do our homeless ... This is such an injustice ..
It’s to do with the contracts that are handed out for homing of people entering our country illegally. Torries have given money to friends to do so, most likely to get a job once they ain’t an MP anymore, the same happened during Covid and the same happens with the NHS and Uk jails, all are ran into the ground for profit. Matt Handcocks pub land lord made millions in making PPE and he’d never done it before. It’s all about taking money from the poor and giving it to the rich. They have money to line their own pockets but never to solve social problems, as less homeless people means less people in jail and that takes money out of some multimillionaire pocket.
I'm glad you give these souls a voice. I don't think drugs and drinking are the problem it is more the pain and trauma these poor people have suffered somewhere in their life.
People always say that an addicts problem is using drugs but usually the problem(s) is past traumas that they suffer from for example it could be past physical and or sexual abuse and for them using drugs is their solution to try to cope and block out the trauma so sad so yes drugs are normally the solution to problems addicts suffer from
That barge these so called migrants won’t get on because of their human rights makes my blood boil look at the desperation of the homeless in are great city they would jump at the chance safe secure and medical assistance on board Billy keep highlighting this please 🙏 you’re had your troubles to say the least but your contribution now is second to none
Billy been watching your videos for a couple of months now. And have to say you are the most generous honest person that a have seen on this UA-cam. As a Addict still on meds from chemist today. But have been trying to get recovery for years now but failed with the words you said to the boy (Lee ) The feelings of (GUILT shame remorse) You no the rest av always went back to the madness that I hate. Anyway just hope you read this my friend. Love and take care from Glasgow
Yet again I keep observing that all these homeless people from Merseyside when these asylum seekers are housed in 5☆ hotels and their complaining and why are they all middle aged men and I'm an ex veteran myself and found it so hard securing accommodation when I fought for my country so can your watchers please give me their imput and tell me should all my fellow veterans be housed before these asylum seekers have mostly claimed asylum before they reach Britain,please comment on this ,I would be very grateful for your input,thanks
America treated it's vets like shit after Vietnam many of whom came back with drug habits they got while serving. Now we're seeing more of it here too, I've got enormous respect for veterans and think you should be on 50k pension for life cause you made the rich f7ckers who started the war even richer as with Bush and cronies and there illegal war on Iraq. Unfortunately were now paying for his mistakes spending mill ions look ing after those we invaded and blew up for years. I'm not saying it makes it right that they come here but you can't blame the people who lost whole family and houses and everything and are now scarred for life. It's a horrible situation and j know many aren't from these regions but come here anyway but our government are too weak through the fault of past regimes to say no.
It really is sad to see Billy. But I've said it before, folks are running round Liverpool wearing Rolex watches and driving Porches on the back of this misery. You know the score Billy.
@@Theoriginalbigbrillo Whatever your mode of transport Knuckle Dragger, Scum in your city thrive on addiction... And have done for decades. And before anyone says it ... Yes the similar vile Scum operate all over our country doing exactly the same.
🙏🏻During the pandemic there was more help available.Thanks for this video. Can you also interview more people like yourself who have recovered from addiction.
I'm approaching mid 40's now, and this has been a thing (I'm in Scotland) for as long as I can remember. Even from a very young age of 4-5. I legit believe at this point that there is no answer, no solution, and it's always gonna be a case by case type thing, with the persons inner character being the main driving force behind escaping or not escaping this way of life. They truly are hopeless =/
I'm old school and in 82 ,CIA with help from certain police depts flooded Los Angeles's poorer areas with Crack and decimated neighborhoods to this day. In England same scenario, secret service flooded Birkenhead with crack and heroin to begin with, you'd see news bulletins with father's threatening to shoot dealers destroying their daughters, as the cops weren't helping, as with US they were complicit in helping flood the Wirral to begin with. And to this day the city has never recovered.
The dealers won’t care mate. Let’s not forget they started putting fentanyl in gear then just fentanyl knowing fine well folk were going over. I stopped the gear 12 years ago as I just grew out of it. It turned shit. Everyone thieving off each other, dealers the power went to their head and they’d have you waiting time. Then you’d have to go somewhere else to pick up. It becomes a full time job. Fuck the dealers , they’ll always get caught these young roadmen.
I remember seeing Lee in a homeless documentary years ago. Very sad to see him still in the same situation, but most likely in worse physical and mental condition since
Illegal immigrants are not in hotels, they are being deported or they hide in rented houses. Asylum seekers are in the hotels- yes. Cause their houses being bombed by our wonderful government. Homeless also get hotel accomodation and help. Some manage to get out of this dreadful situation, some not. Some cannot, not all, due to their addictions. They need medical treatment first but also will to give up drugs etc.
@finleywade7409 COMMENT OF THE WEEK RIGHT THERE PEOPLE. Question is.... how are we going to get it as I'm sure you'll know, the 1% are absolutely not going to give it up willingly.
That jade is naturally pretty even drugged up, it's sad to see someone who doesn't realise or have any1 tell them compliments like that so they end up with low self confidence
Just being in Liverpool he's in the barber's chair mate the fact that he cuts his own hair for the last few years while blanking the barber I think shows he's strong enough now. Many people have to leave the city altogether to get away from it, he's done the hard part by staying here surrounded by barbers and he's done brilliant imo. Not saying it doesn't happen what you say I just think he's past that stage now mate were it gets easier for him the more he's seeing the benefits of a sober life.
Honest to God this breaks my heart seeing our own left like this 😢 all so young aswell! More should be done to help our lads and girls of the streets and support them getting clean!
Sadly, some actually choose this life. There are some who have thrown the help given to them back. And some chronic ones who are the ones who desperately need help I,e schizophrenia ,living in bushes etc who are ignored or to paranoid to get help.The authorities have tried everything over the years and have found that it is down to the individual, because even though services are stretched, there is help and hope if person genuinely wants to help himself get support.
Seeing people on those drugs reminded me of a novel I read decades ago. I can't remember what it was, or who wrote it, but there was one particular character who left a profound impression, who was a hopeless alcoholic. And the author made the observation about this character that every time he raised the bottle to his lips, he was no longer drinking from it, but the bottle was drinking from him, taking just a little bit more of him every time he took a swig. What's the answer? I genuinely don't know; I don't even know if there IS an answer.
Billy you should read The Grass Arena by John Healy its an incredible read , homelessness in the 60s John was beaten by his dad as a child became a champion boxer in the army became an alcoholic ended up on the streets , in one of his prison stints he learnt to play chess and became a tournament player , its such an interesting story.
Hello lad, Where can I buy the book from please? Waterstones?Amazon? Sounds interesting?I'm an ex addict(9 years clean) working with homeless men & women with addiction..like to read this book. Thank you B,S3
The council should give them a hotel room and a daily allowance. This should of been done before any migrants came to Britain. I will give it a good few years and us British will be outcasts. Britain will no longer be Britain 😢🤬
This has happened for years its case by case basis. Shelters for safety have rules on drink and drugs. Many choose to be on streets because they wont follow rules or shelters are unsafe
A good conversation is good for the soul and if your a homeless conversationalist you would miss them putting the world to right talks, I’d never thought of it before, I always assumed homeless don’t want to talk but I suppose the more you don’t do it you become socially awkward this is same as loneliness ❤ I use to always talk to people off the streets in my clubbing days walking home but very rear I visit city centre so don’t see much of it, but a fella outside our local Iceland who’s an alcoholic is a lovely fella I always talk and sort him a few Bob and he’s always happy to see me because he knows I always make time for him ❤
Nice one Billy, TO be honest bill a bit gutted to see fellow scousers in that kind of situation,😢 thriving city like ours and people still in need of support from local authorities, especially the girls, love my city bill, but would be very hard for me to return their to live permanently, your doing a brilliant job bill keep it up lad, respect bill.
I was in the grip of drugs in the 9os i moved to Liverpool was helped into a rehab there by a NA member was helped to get clean attended meetings at the time i have been 17 years clean thanks to that guy and the rehab
As a former addict of 25 years im loving seeing your journey billy boy , would love the chance to have a sit down and a coffee next time your up Scotland,im finding it hard to have sympathy for alot of the addicts you meet on the street as they complain about being homeless etc when they can do something about it but choose not to,i know addiction is hopeless but i held down a job kept a car on road and roof over my head while addicted to heroin crack valium pregabalin and anything else i could get my hands on,now my health is fucked tho and im only 46 ,i was like you mate thought i couldn't have kids then at 36 years i was blessed with a son and 13 months later i was blessed with another one,its sad to see some of these addicts going through life never getting to go on holiday or have any real joy and feeling of accomplished something,we as former addicts need to do all we can to help them i just don't know how,hope to hear from you mate keep up the good work la peace 🙏🙏🙏
Fuckin sad that Bill, far too many people on the streets of town but then they've got to be seen on the streets to get sorted, that's ridiculous, all Fuckin wrong
Maxine been on the streets a while, smoked spice with her in 2018 and chose life, she chose spice, im in a flat and shes still homeless, the whitechapel help people who actually want help. Its thanks to the whitecheple center im seeing my kids every weekend, i chose life, they chose spice! Only thing fixing homelessness is the homeless life choices.
That Lee fella is a good lad I worked on the doors and the more I got to see him the more we let on real good fella and would help him out when I seen him… sad world mate you can see the ache in his expressions god help him ❤
Been there. Lived that life. Right what someone said. We're are the human rights for these people who are born and bread here.. this is not about imgraints about are own. People.. not racist. Comant
Thats frow out the uk homeless people every were its so sad to see .it looks like migration gets sorted before then own . God bless 🙏 to the young people on hour streets something needs doing about it . ✌❤
But yet we can take them off the boats and put them in hotels mate. Country is fooked mate. Can you really see it getting better and us actually looking after our own first. I don’t unfortunately. Keep going Bill. Your highlighting worrying issues in our communities.
Wow that's the real deal there Billy bringing this to the attention of Jo public mabe Jo public speaks to Jo blogs n then on to someone who can help Billy using your platform for a good purpose should be proud of yourself lad god bless you
Get someone to ring no second night out in the afternoon. Give their exact location, who is there, how many of them. Get a reference number or contact name of the person it was reported to. If no one visits to check, call them back the next day and re report the details. Sometimes this information can get jumbled in the system, or the location is a bit vague. This system was used during the London Olympics, it had the same problems. You can do this yourself Billy then do a follow-up vid in 7 days, all the best
I’d like to see that be put through a test run on cam too . Know it all sounds like a pain in the arse, but it’s worse if it’s happening to you for real .
Government legalises spice (making out its a safe marijuana), people get addicted to this now legal drug, then the government ban spice, offering no support for people with addiction, only make arrests. Makes complete sense.
Lost souls and I rather be in jail with a bed three meals A day and a shower’s plus a Tv 📺 in ur cell instead of being seen on the street begging for money 💰 wow
Liverpool was always my second home this makes me so upset my Nan still resides in Dovecot and the sight of more people living on the streets is terrible. 😭🙏
The thing about being homless is if they get a home they would have to follow the rules and a lot of them couldn't handle it so that's why they stay the way they ara thats it just true unfortunately
There's thousands of homeless in London too that's not labour area. All politicians are too blame left, right just as bad it's not just a Liverpool thing. The Wirral is Cheshire post code plenty over there too.
We can spend billions on fighting wars and we can’t spend money on helping these people. How you treat those who struggle through life, and this can happen to anyone, is a measure of our society and governments. This is so wrong.
Can't imagine even living on the streets I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy, good luck to the bloke who's been off the brown for the last few months, I know it's hard I've been on and off the shit since I was 25/26 I'm 54 shortly and it's now affecting my health particularly my lungs.
Ah i met jade an we had some deep conversations and she is desperate for a chance but the drugs always consumes her 😢breaks my heart. Shes gorgeous xxxx
I guarantee 💯 that some of those girls and lads are some of the best people you could meet government drugs illness is just frowned and not the number one gender that needs sorted this countrys a mess and its like the world goes on but fk our own total liberty
This happens all over uk it's sad it's there way of escape from everyday life .the government don't care one bit about our own , more help is needed because everyone deserves a second chance in life . Good luck to them and God bless them .
They are all scousers mate, hate to see people like that, just a shame I dont have the ways and means to help them all, but you do billy, and respect to you for what your doing
Breaks my heart seeing this. I consider myself far from racist but why do these young, fit, illegal immigrant males get food, accommodation, phones, etc, etc and these poor people are living like this obviously in need of medical care as well as a roof over their heads. Plus like one of the homeless ladies said it’s not right for females to live like that when they are having their period. It must be so undignified having to cope with that with no access to showers or baths. The lady at 47 is menopausal age and it’s hard enough coping with menopause problems when you have got all the creature comforts so I can’t imagine what it’s like to be homeless, coping with addiction problems and menopause. This country is a disgrace
Unfortunately the fact that they are drug users goes against them. I know for a fact that the council don't want to give homes to drug addicts as the properties end up getting trashed. They can't put them in hotels because they are users. It's a catch 22 situation.
Our governments need to sort our own out first Billy ….. all the ones coming over on boat getting hotels boats cars money is wrong we see our own ppl on fucking streets …. Heart braking lad
The bottom line is no one is inter unless they are making,, our own people on the streets while the outsiders get all the help,, these people are trying to escape hell on earth aswell, they need out the situations that keep them trapped in this country 👍
many people are doing that, and most who say home our homeless first are the same people who voted for cameron and osborne who ten folded the homeless problem and these people were happy about it, the home our homeless first message is comming mainly from racists and using our homeless to push their agenda,
Its too political mate, once you go public with all that stuff speakjng out against it they don't look at as helping your own first is the right thing to do. Automatically your labelled racist and an extremist, fascist all kinds. Billy is doing good and getting ahead through hard work and kind heart and being real he doesn't need everyone to turn on him. I know he doesn't do it for public opinion or brownie points but he's just pointing out the problems so people are aware but once you start standing on a soap box saying you've got the solution and the answer to our homeless problem is by withdrawing the hundreds of millions we spend helping migrants and help our own first. All that happens is you get branded the next Tommy Robinson or Enoch Powell, Billy doesn't need all that he's just trying to help his own in his own small way. I know I can't speak for Billy and he's his own person but international politics I don't think is were he's aiming you've got to be a narcissistic, arrogant f7cker like most politicians who are only in it for one thing, there own power trip and financial security.
Liverpool has had a major drug problem since the heroin epidemic first came in the mid 80s. The one thing that stopped it from spiralling out of control the way it did in all big US cities was the free help on NHS who gave free methadone scripts and free needle exchanges in pharmacies no questions asked. The states however had a lot of unnecessary deaths through HIV cause junkies were sharing used needles many times over using bleach or water to clean, because it was the only way they could access the tools of the trade due to US govt refusing to give free help as well as charging for the synthetic opioid they could drink safely. Nowadays for one reason or another the worldwide problem with homelessness is highlighting the same old drug problems. That were hidden in the past through unlimited availability of council housing but now with the tens of thousands of new immigrants coming every month there isn't enough cheap housing to go around as our population swells so the supply and demand along with rising property values just forces the poorest members of society onto the streets. Rent on 2 bed houses that were £350-400month 5 yrs ago are now 600 + so it's more beneficial for the lical council to pay for an immigrant family of 4 to live in that house than it is a 40yr old adult with substance abuse problems fresh out of prison who goes right to the bottom of the priority ladder on the housing waiting list. I'm not being cruel to immigrants I know they have a right to a better life after being bombed for 10 yrs in Iraq because of Bush lies but they shouldn't be prioritised over our veterans or citizen in general who suddenly find themselves on the street for the first time ever at 47. Sorry about the essay just saying what most think but it's not PC too say anymore.
How come they’re putting up illegal immigrants in hotels with free food and forty pound cash each week and they’re leaving these poor souls out on the streets . Boils my piss
I tried to help someone a few weeks ago but then you turn a corner an theres somebody else, Saw a big double decker go by in your video, if we can turn them into play centres for kids, cant we somehow turn them into a few rooms for people to sleep or a couple of beds, least would be warm
Fentanyl has been in U.K. a while now in huge quantities from China. The heroin addicts want to buy the fentanyl over the gear as stronger but so many are going over.
Iv been in there position..There not gonna help if your not willing to help your self..who wants someone on spice daily living at there property..Time to grow up
Heartbreaking to see young girls and lads on he street...someone's son or daughter....I would be devastated if this ever happens to my children.....drugs and the people who run society are responsible.... council's

Curious why this isn’t a thing out here in Canada to cuz this actually makes a lot of sense
These aren’t homeless. They are druggies. I don’t my tax money to go to them.
It's deeper than that, a lot of these homeless put them selves in this situation, not paying rent etc, spending it on drugs
Most of them can’t be helped, its human nature
I'm glad you give these souls a voice. I don't think drugs and drinking are the problem it is more the pain and trauma these poor people have suffered somewhere in their life.

This part they can’t understand til they’ve been through it 💯
As a former addict of 25 years im loving seeing your journey billy boy , would love the chance to have a sit down and a coffee next time your up Scotland,im finding it hard to have sympathy for alot of the addicts you meet on the street as they complain about being homeless etc when they can do something about it but choose not to,i know addiction is hopeless but i held down a job kept a car on road and roof over my head while addicted to heroin crack valium pregabalin and anything else i could get my hands on,now my health is fucked tho and im only 46 ,i was like you mate thought i couldn't have kids then at 36 years i was blessed with a son and 13 months later i was blessed with another one,its sad to see some of these addicts going through life never getting to go on holiday or have any real joy and feeling of accomplished something,we as former addicts need to do all we can to help them i just don't know how,hope to hear from you mate keep up the good work la peace 🙏🙏🙏
Fuckin sad that Bill, far too many people on the streets of town but then they've got to be seen on the streets to get sorted, that's ridiculous, all Fuckin wrong
Maxine been on the streets a while, smoked spice with her in 2018 and chose life, she chose spice, im in a flat and shes still homeless, the whitechapel help people who actually want help. Its thanks to the whitecheple center im seeing my kids every weekend, i chose life, they chose spice! Only thing fixing homelessness is the homeless life choices.
Well done Billy. Showing the truth about are people. Getting left on the streets.
That Lee fella is a good lad I worked on the doors and the more I got to see him the more we let on real good fella and would help him out when I seen him… sad world mate you can see the ache in his expressions god help him ❤
Spice use has spread across our nation Bill .Keep up the good work lad .
Very sad Bill great Content as Always 💯💯💯💯
Been there. Lived that life. Right what someone said. We're are the human rights for these people who are born and bread here.. this is not about imgraints about are own. People.. not racist. Comant
Thats frow out the uk homeless people every were its so sad to see .it looks like migration gets sorted before then own . God bless 🙏 to the young people on hour streets something needs doing about it . ✌❤
Respect Bill..Also a lot of homeless at the back of Moorfields station.
But yet we can take them off the boats and put them in hotels mate. Country is fooked mate. Can you really see it getting better and us actually looking after our own first. I don’t unfortunately. Keep going Bill. Your highlighting worrying issues in our communities.
Wow that's the real deal there Billy bringing this to the attention of Jo public mabe Jo public speaks to Jo blogs n then on to someone who can help Billy using your platform for a good purpose should be proud of yourself lad god bless you
It breaks my soul, just gave out the odd quid in town today in an alcoholic, on my way out, due to lack of funding
Turn hotels into detox hotels “free of charge “ and Create a community for these people! What a sad world we have become!
Get someone to ring no second night out in the afternoon. Give their exact location, who is there, how many of them. Get a reference number or contact name of the person it was reported to. If no one visits to check, call them back the next day and re report the details.
Sometimes this information can get jumbled in the system, or the location is a bit vague.
This system was used during the London Olympics, it had the same problems.
You can do this yourself Billy then do a follow-up vid in 7 days, all the best
I’d like to see that be put through a test run on cam too .
Know it all sounds like a pain in the arse, but it’s worse if it’s happening to you for real .
Feel sorry for Lee.. I was him.
Stay strong Lee
Government legalises spice (making out its a safe marijuana), people get addicted to this now legal drug, then the government ban spice, offering no support for people with addiction, only make arrests.
Makes complete sense.
We have a slice problem in Leeds, so cheap, yet disastrous side effects, and terrible to withdraw from, bless these xx
Fair play Billy la and good luck to what ever their problems are that ended them being in them horrid situations.
Great video mate such a shame seeing this on our streets should not be happening charity begins at home look after own first priority
Lost souls and I rather be in jail with a bed three meals A day and a shower’s plus a Tv 📺 in ur cell instead of being seen on the street begging for money 💰 wow
Liverpool was always my second home this makes me so upset my Nan still resides in Dovecot and the sight of more people living on the streets is terrible. 😭🙏
why don’t you do some volunteering at the ymca or any other homeless services and you can see first hand what support is available mate x
5 years ago rent was direct to landlord now goes to claimant abbit or rent its a no brainer however rents are that high now they have no choice
Hope they get well
Ur a good kid billy !! Keep up good work m8
Billy keep on doing what your doing your inspirational and are inspiring many m8 including me ❤Hh
The thing about being homless is if they get a home they would have to follow the rules and a lot of them couldn't handle it so that's why they stay the way they ara thats it just true unfortunately
A real eye-opener. There, but for the grace of God, go I.
No Hotels for Them! I wonder why? and in a Labour Area?? +.
There's thousands of homeless in London too that's not labour area. All politicians are too blame left, right just as bad it's not just a Liverpool thing. The Wirral is Cheshire post code plenty over there too.
We can spend billions on fighting wars and we can’t spend money on helping these people. How you treat those who struggle through life, and this can happen to anyone, is a measure of our society and governments. This is so wrong.
nice to know people do care about the city they live in and the people who occupy it keep up the good work bill giving these poor people a voice
Can't imagine even living on the streets I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy, good luck to the bloke who's been off the brown for the last few months, I know it's hard I've been on and off the shit since I was 25/26 I'm 54 shortly and it's now affecting my health particularly my lungs.
Ah i met jade an we had some deep conversations and she is desperate for a chance but the drugs always consumes her 😢breaks my heart. Shes gorgeous xxxx
I guarantee 💯 that some of those girls and lads are some of the best people you could meet government drugs illness is just frowned and not the number one gender that needs sorted this countrys a mess and its like the world goes on but fk our own total liberty
The world upside-down bill
This happens all over uk it's sad it's there way of escape from everyday life .the government don't care one bit about our own , more help is needed because everyone deserves a second chance in life . Good luck to them and God bless them .
Billy moore for mayor you know this what's going people in authority I have not got a clue
They are all scousers mate, hate to see people like that, just a shame I dont have the ways and means to help them all, but you do billy, and respect to you for what your doing
All the corruption and fraud at the top and ppl are living like this at the bottom, distgusting !
Ya going good work mate keep it up
Billy your humble but you deserve a medal !!! 💯
Hope it all works out for them👍
Great content Billy keep it up 💯
Breaks my heart seeing this. I consider myself far from racist but why do these young, fit, illegal immigrant males get food, accommodation, phones, etc, etc and these poor people are living like this obviously in need of medical care as well as a roof over their heads. Plus like one of the homeless ladies said it’s not right for females to live like that when they are having their period. It must be so undignified having to cope with that with no access to showers or baths. The lady at 47 is menopausal age and it’s hard enough coping with menopause problems when you have got all the creature comforts so I can’t imagine what it’s like to be homeless, coping with addiction problems and menopause. This country is a disgrace
Unfortunately the fact that they are drug users goes against them. I know for a fact that the council don't want to give homes to drug addicts as the properties end up getting trashed. They can't put them in hotels because they are users. It's a catch 22 situation.
This is so, so sad to see !!
Our governments need to sort our own out first Billy ….. all the ones coming over on boat getting hotels boats cars money is wrong we see our own ppl on fucking streets …. Heart braking lad
The bottom line is no one is inter unless they are making,, our own people on the streets while the outsiders get all the help,, these people are trying to escape hell on earth aswell, they need out the situations that keep them trapped in this country 👍
too many non scousers in Liverpool City Centre these days. Nobody benefits from it except the Hotel and Bar owners who give nothing back.
These people get loads of help, and people are sick of it. Wherever they turn up they turn it in to a shit hole.
Go cover the migration problem billy
many people are doing that, and most who say home our homeless first are the same people who voted for cameron and osborne who ten folded the homeless problem and these people were happy about it, the home our homeless first message is comming mainly from racists and using our homeless to push their agenda,
Its too political mate, once you go public with all that stuff speakjng out against it they don't look at as helping your own first is the right thing to do. Automatically your labelled racist and an extremist, fascist all kinds. Billy is doing good and getting ahead through hard work and kind heart and being real he doesn't need everyone to turn on him. I know he doesn't do it for public opinion or brownie points but he's just pointing out the problems so people are aware but once you start standing on a soap box saying you've got the solution and the answer to our homeless problem is by withdrawing the hundreds of millions we spend helping migrants and help our own first. All that happens is you get branded the next Tommy Robinson or Enoch Powell, Billy doesn't need all that he's just trying to help his own in his own small way. I know I can't speak for Billy and he's his own person but international politics I don't think is were he's aiming you've got to be a narcissistic, arrogant f7cker like most politicians who are only in it for one thing, there own power trip and financial security.
Lee's on a previous film on youtube
God bless them all
It's bloody heartbreaking to see drugs grabbing people so easy , getting like california in the States .
Liverpool has had a major drug problem since the heroin epidemic first came in the mid 80s. The one thing that stopped it from spiralling out of control the way it did in all big US cities was the free help on NHS who gave free methadone scripts and free needle exchanges in pharmacies no questions asked. The states however had a lot of unnecessary deaths through HIV cause junkies were sharing used needles many times over using bleach or water to clean, because it was the only way they could access the tools of the trade due to US govt refusing to give free help as well as charging for the synthetic opioid they could drink safely. Nowadays for one reason or another the worldwide problem with homelessness is highlighting the same old drug problems. That were hidden in the past through unlimited availability of council housing but now with the tens of thousands of new immigrants coming every month there isn't enough cheap housing to go around as our population swells so the supply and demand along with rising property values just forces the poorest members of society onto the streets. Rent on 2 bed houses that were £350-400month 5 yrs ago are now 600 + so it's more beneficial for the lical council to pay for an immigrant family of 4 to live in that house than it is a 40yr old adult with substance abuse problems fresh out of prison who goes right to the bottom of the priority ladder on the housing waiting list. I'm not being cruel to immigrants I know they have a right to a better life after being bombed for 10 yrs in Iraq because of Bush lies but they shouldn't be prioritised over our veterans or citizen in general who suddenly find themselves on the street for the first time ever at 47. Sorry about the essay just saying what most think but it's not PC too say anymore.
How come they’re putting up illegal immigrants in hotels with free food and forty pound cash each week and they’re leaving these poor souls out on the streets . Boils my piss
Sick of the Liverpool City Council spouting about working class rights when all they do is line their own pockets knowing they are untouchable.
Billy Your a Gentleman mate 💯👌🏻🙏🏻✌🏻
Just heartbreaking
I tried to help someone a few weeks ago but then you turn a corner an theres somebody else, Saw a big double decker go by in your video, if we can turn them into play centres for kids, cant we somehow turn them into a few rooms for people to sleep or a couple of beds, least would be warm
spice girls back together kidda
😂
If looking at these people is an advert to take drugs, I'll give it a miss.
Huge Respect.
Fentylin is now appearing in the Uk too. 😢
Fentanyl has been in U.K. a while now in huge quantities from China. The heroin addicts want to buy the fentanyl over the gear as stronger but so many are going over.
Iv been in there position..There not gonna help if your not willing to help your self..who wants someone on spice daily living at there property..Time to grow up
Heartbreaking to see young girls and lads on he street...someone's son or daughter....I would be devastated if this ever happens to my children.....drugs and the people who run society are responsible.... council's
William, nearly on 50k subs kid!
DONT TAKE THE DRUGS..JOB DONE
