Where Poverty Lives At The Seaside

  • It’s almost become a cliché that British seaside towns are now nothing more than dilapidated versions of their former selves.
    Within this short documentary Artefact travels to the small Essex town of Harwich in an attempt to uncover one of Britain's underlying problems.
    The town has been described by local foodbank volunteers as an epicentre for modern day poverty with a mixture of poor education, transport systems and job prospects has slowly taken its toll.
    This documentary, produced by Artefact’s James Cropper, revisits the town in an attempt to further explore how a once successful seaside town has become so plagued by poverty.

    So many lost soul’s an we think of ourselves as a rich civilised nation but how can we be when so many sit back and not only don’t help but criticise the helpless.

    Hello all, Philip Bloomfield who appeared in this documentary passed away recently. Just like he said in the interview, he did as it turned out have only 8months to a year left. Welfare hounded philip till his last day alive. He was a deeply vulnerable, lonely man. He had an acute drink problem, which made him all the more fragile. Instead of helping him, Harwich job centre hounded him. They showed no empathy, no pity toward this very sick man. They won, this government and all those that do their bidding. Pursued Philip mercilessly, they might just as well as put a loaded gun to his head and pulled the trigger. They are morally as responsible for his death as the alcohol that destroyed him. Where ever he is now, at least he has peace and he can't be hurt any more. X

      Greg Hallanan Hello Greg, industry in Harwich, (manufacturing industry in particular) has been on the decline for decades. Harwich like most seaside towns post the second world war. Has also morphed into an unemployment black spot. Since the 2010 coalition and now the Conservative government, have been moving the vulnerable and welfare dependent out of the capitol on an industrial scale. This social cleansing has again altered Harwich and other seaside towns irretrievably. Rising crime, social tension, grinding poverty. You would do well to remember that the excuse given for austerity was the financial collapse of 2008. This was caused by the banks, which should of been allowed to fail, (as they did in Iceland) and those that led the country to ruin. Arrested and charged with fraud. As a country, living within our means is subjective, I would argue we already do, and the many are paying the price for the few. You can contact me on Facebook under the name Cain Adams if you would like to discuss this further. :)

As a teen for a short while I worked in a clothing factory making clothes for Marks & Spencer's, a well known high street brand, now their clothing is made in Peru !!?? China makes a whole lot of the retail market products sold here in the UK, again on cheap labour with long hours. A lot of the food/produce we eat is grown abroad when once upon a time we grew all our own food/produce ..

      Retromovie I’m 56. I’ve lived frugally, and have been blessed at owning a modest home, have a pension, and 401k. I save as much as I can. I have never bought a new car, always buy only what I need, and have never done drugs, and thankfully haven’t had mental health issues. I know there is no such thing as security in life. So far so good. We in America, like UK, had a good run. It was obtainable. Now the world wants what we have. There’s not enough to go around. Companies make money abroad, while the 3 rd world they exploit gets bread crumbs. We at home simply cost too much, and started living beyond our means since the 1980s when women started coming into the work force. A 2 incomer family can only work for so long, until you have no choice, but work for an economy based on those 2 wages. I’ll take capitalism over communism any day. But when capitalism goes wrong. The middle class has always suffered the most. The reason why we got by in the past, was because we still got married, had plenty of kids, and church life, and common sense was still all relevant. Our society still had family safety nets. Now its the government who decides and knows what’s best. When you choose to live life based around self and ME. Its not going to end well. Its only to get worst when the boomers start getting old. Its already happening her in Los Angeles. Many live Out of their cars, or rent rooms out of houses, while they lived high and mighty in their youth. Advice to the young. You will be old someday. Plan, prepare, and save save save. Don’t ever rely on the government. They will never let you be free.

    What is particularly disturbing is that people in situations like Phil's, get abused by the staff at benefits offices and council offices.
    Such staff take personal affront if anyone struggling without basic amenities, such as hot water, appears upset or annoyed.
    I'm aware of council staff in Leeds, laughing at an acquaintance who hadn't had hot water or gas for 9 weeks, leaving him, his wife and 8year old son in a cold house, unable to wash, in winter.
    When he protested at their laughter, they called the police and had him arrested.
    While I accept that council staff should be able to work free from abuse, sadly, many take the piss, doing as little work as possible and abusing their protection to avoid work. Such people only aggravate problems.

Those who cannot work due to disability are on EESA and those who can work (but not in employment and looking for work) are awarded JSA. The main reason it all turned into a massive clusterfuck (welfare reforms 2016-2020) is due to DWP farming out the application and re application and transition process to cowboy assessment firms such as Capita and Atos. Also what did not help was the alleged bonus schemes awarded to assessment staff to find as many disabled people as they can fit for work, when they were clearly not fit for work. It got messed up in a kind of Chinese whispers way (for want of a better description). Deliberately or not will be next to impossible to confirm?

      Mr M The problem started years ago when councils started moving tenants out of London to the seaside. I live near Hastings and yes, it has improved, in parts, but it is still a dump, with shut down shops and run down housing stock. It has immense social problems, drug usage, alcohol abuse and very little police support. Some years ago, when the new local police Commander was due to be shown round, the police cleared all the druggies and drinkers off the streets, to give her a false impression. Next day they were all back. The local supermarket has practically shifts of beggars outside it. A few weeks ago there was a fight over a pitch which resulted in one of them getting stabbed with a screwdriver. Local school children have to walk past drunks and drug users sprawling across the pavement, peeing themselves. Shoplifting is rife and blatant, with some regulars doing their shopping several times a day. One day the supermarket had no meat for sale because it had all been stolen. A few weeks ago one man pushed a lady behind the till to steal drink and cigarettes.
      Welcome to Hastings.

      Razamadaz Philip Bloomfield was sanctioned because he missed his appointment with the job centre. The reason he missed his appointment was because he was in hospital, with a life threatening illness. He was an alcoholic, yes. But his fall from grace came over the years..He worked for decades, raised and supported a wife and 2 children. He was a lonely, broken man. It may be hard for you to feel sympathy, as you work hard. But still struggle to make ends meet. Unfortunately, work is no longer a route out of poverty for millions of hard working people.. But Philip is also a victim, of a concerted effort to socially exclude millions. This is the result of ideological warfare, deliberately manufactured to bring about the demise of the working class population. His work history spans decades, he paid his dues. He needed help, not a barrage of civil servant cruelty.

      They’re human beings who deserve to live and spend their money on things they want. It is not fair to expect them to just survive or exist, they have a right to live too.
      Furthermore, they boost the economy by buying highly taxed items such as alcohol and cigarettes, thereby boosting the economy. This means they contribute a higher percentage than any billionaire who squirrels away their money in banks abroad, and who pay very little tax.
      Benefits are only about 1% of what tax money is spent on. Far more goes to bailing out banks and big companies, the military, etc.
      It’s the same old story, rich people costing the country far more, but then saying to everyone ‘look at them taking all your money for free’, when actually it’s the rich that cost the most.

    THE BIG DIVIDE BETWEEN THE RICH & THE POOR!!! Makes me so angry !!!!!!😤

    • @truthhurts7892
      @truthhurts7892 Před 4 lety

      Does the big divide between the hours worked, sacrifices made and good decisions also make you angry? What should make you angry is this man is a raging alcoholic who clearly continues to make one bad decision after another. It amazes me how you can have a lifetime of bad decisions just ignored because you got old.
      I see it everyday and did so when I was growing up as well. You have people who spend $5 on a beer at the pub, you have people who don't drink or only drink at their house where it's $0.50 a beer. You have people who spend thou$ands on a new TV and Xbox while others go without and use what they have until it actually breaks. You have people who spend hundred$ on cable and some who only have the 20 free digital channels over the air. You have people who shop at the convenience stores and petrol stations paying 10x-100x the cost if you buy from a regular store and obviously those who shop at regular stores. You have people who buy whatever they want including name brand items and some people buy store brand or use Raise.com and Coupons. You have people who have $35-$35 late fee's on every single bill, not because they couldn't pay it, but because they forgot to pay it and you have others who pay on time and avoid those massive fee's. You have some people who spend $6 a day on cigarette's, let alone beer, every single day and other's who don't smoke and put that same money in a savings account or a small free 401k type account at RobinHood. (etc, etc, etc, etc, I can go on and on with these daily decisions.)
      One person will be able to retire and live a comfortable life on a "meager" salary and the other person will be talking about kicking a man when he's down because there is ZERO personal responsibility or accountability for their actions. It's sad and you're not helping anyone by taking away their personal responsibility. You should be telling kids and young adults not to be like this guy and learn to curb their desires and make smart decisions that will impact their future in a positive way. That bender every Friday night where you drop $100-$200 isn't helping your future and it also burdens me with paying for your terrible liver in the future too.

    I understand to a point but they have money for cigs and drink? There are many genuine cases I know and yes it can happen to anyone blaa as blah blah . I think you could give 1200 to many of them and still be in the same boat. And regardless of income there is no need to live in filth .

    I live in a little village, amazing that they all claim there rich ...... funny that cause I’ve got literally no money and a pile of kids and always the one feeding someone or trying to help someone..... the poorest people are always the kindest , because they know poverty 👌 people should be kind and always give back something to help others from the goodness of your heart ❤️ if Phil lived next to me I’d have made him tea Every day ..... I lived next door to a man once , alcoholic, very ill , he was great , one of the best neighbours ever 🥰 I used to cut his grass , feed him , do little jobs , and that help perked him up tremendously....fact
