Seaside Decline: Britain's Forgotten Paradise Island 🇬🇧

I was shocked to discover crumbling and rotting grand hotels and a waning tourism industry on the once thriving Isle of Wight. From the Victorian era until the only 20 or so years ago, the Island was a booming south coast holiday favourite for Brits. Now parts of the island are a decaying shadow of their former selves. There are scarce employment opportunities for young locals and a significant problem with homeless people squatting in the abandoned hotels. Join me as I discover and meet the locals.
A big thanks to Oli for inviting me and showing me around where he grew up.

    Loved going to the IOW as a child. Went back as an adult and hated it. Felt like a time warp, couldn't get anywhere without a sodding 20 mile detour due to the chain ferry being closed. My husband went over on his bike and nearly got killed by some dickhead who rammed him off his bike on a roundabout. My husband was left with life changing injuries and the driver got off scot free. So yeah, neither of us like the IOW.

    To the person who is reading this message. If you ever find yourself in a dark place in life there is hope. Turn to God. Did you know that God really loves you and wants a relationship with you. Only God can heal youur heart and heal vour soul and did you know God has a purpose for your life. He is the only one that can love you in the way you need to be loved. He can also set your path straight.if you turn to Him. I’m someone who spent a lot of years in darkness also with a void in my heart. I was a run away child. I often got in trouble with the police. I was into drinking and taking drugs partying etc trying to fill that void and hopelessness that I always felt. There is so much more I could add to this but you get the idea. After many years seeking only after things that were either harmful or allowing depression takes its toll on me.having no hope until one day God came into my life and He filled that void and emptiness I suffered from all my life. I was healed from depression as well as my addiction to smoking . My heart and soul is being healed , God has given me hope in my life. He can do the same for you if let him.I have never experienced peace like I do now. You can also experience that same love and healing and peace in your life God has mercy for you.But there is a few things you need to know. There will be a time that we will all face Gods judgement. God is righteous and Holy and we are all sinners. In a court of Law if you commit a crime and you was found guilty you will be punished and be sent to jail. Gods punishment is Hell and because we are all sinners we will be found guilty. The 10 commandments is where we see if you have committed any sin’s or not. Have you ever lied? Have you lust over someone? Have you ever taken something that was not yours? Have you ever said omg or used Jesus Christ name as a curse word ? These are only 4 of Gods commandments and if you have said yes to any of these questions I’m not judging you but on judgement day God will judge you and will find you guilty for these sins and will be sent to eternal punishment The good news Jesus Christ came and paid the price for your sins He took the punishment we deserve so that you don’t go eternal punishment hell.. He died on the cross and If you believe in your heart that Jesus died and was raised on the third day and repent and ask in prayer for forgiveness of your sins you will be saved. Which means on judgement day because you have believed and trusted in Jesus and have faith in Him and have been forgiven,on judgement day God will let you go and you will be saved from going to eternal punishment. Jesus was sacrificed to save you and everybody else because of the love He has for us John 3:16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. Romans 10: 9 If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. The gospel is not God hatefully saying turn to me or I'll send you to Hell the gospel is God's mercy and Grace saying you're already on your way to Hell turn to me and I’ll save you. Download the gate way bible app and read the gospel of John and you can learn how Jesus came to save you. Please watch a video called ,JESUS saved me from HELL 🔥!! ⚠️ Warning!

    My view is that Isle of Wight has a strong conservative base. They want ferry prices to be high etc to stop tourism deliberately to keep the place as quiet as possible. Its the older NIMBY mentality. Just look at the canary island protests, just like that they don't want tourists coming to IOW and its obvious.

Then you have to provide so much for estate agent and if u cant then got not chance able to rent. So that leaves spare room which not secure housing and you never know if people okay to live with.
