    It’s hard for an American to tell these are poor areas because so many buildings in England are old…I can’t tell what’s supposed to look rundown and what’s normal.

    As an American it's hard to wrap my mind around the fact that many of the coastal towns of England are poor. That's just so different than how it is in the US.

    I grew up 2 min from downtown Houston in a rented shotgun style house. The house was like 100 years old, that’s old for Texas/US standards. The back door used an old skeleton key still. These shotgun style houses were modeled after slave quarters. My neighborhood in Houston has since been gentrified but you can still find rough neighborhoods packed with that style of houses in the south.

    Yarmouth got badly shelled by German Battlecruisers in WW1. At the time early in the war, Germany tried to raid and lure out part of the overwhelming British fleet to suprise and destroy it. The largest sea battle of the war, Jutland, was a giant attempt. Instead, they ran into Jellicoe’s main battle fleet! It was a close run thing to get back to their main base. After that, the Kaiser ordered his fleet to stay in base!

    As you said a few videos ago guys, there are a lot of shithole cities with some nice areas. I live in Stoke, and though I can agree it is mostly a shithole, the town I live in called biddulph isn't too bad! Blurton by the way is a bit rough, but it's great for doing deliveries as I work for amazon, piss easy area to go around so its good for something 😀
    Also daz, "moss side" immediately gave me a shithole vibe before you give the hint it was haha. Reminds me of a place near where I live called Sandhole..also a shithole.

    Racism and crime are connected because in those cases, certain parts of town (ghettos) are economically starved and almost entirely neglected, leaving crime as an attractive option, that just grows and grows. It’s a big problem here in the states..

    Poverty coupled with ignorance is a contributing factor to racism and other hatreds. The less you have and know, the more likely you are to blame another group of people for your situation. This is why education, news media and policy matter.
