  • Although I only worked in Lowestoft half as long as I worked in Cwmbrân, it certainly felt like it.
    Join me on a guided walking tour of the UK's most easterly town.
    This formerly great prosperous fishing and shipping town has been devastated by successive governments, with the New World Order's Great Reset appearing to be the last straw.

      I agree with that. I’m just not sure that going round filming down alleys and the very depleted town centre whilst making unkind comments really makes that point. There are lots of funding projects being lined up for the town which would have been interesting to hear your take on. But I realise this is just my opinion and it’s evidently a minority one in this comment section!

      Very few! I entirely agree with what you’re saying here in the comments; what’s happened to Lowestoft and similar places down the years should be a matter of national disgrace. I’m just saying I hoped your video would argue those points instead of simply inviting people to point and laugh.
