13 years of this shit and that young guy wants to give Sunak 'a chance'.
We should be rioting.
People have given up
Absolutely. The French are at least fighting. The uk is just bimbling around wondering what next. As if they haven't any hope left
It's specifically because he's young he thinks that. He hasn't had as much life experience when it comes to politics.
We absolutely should take example from the French. They stand up for themselves against their government. Teenagers protest, adults protest, people go and get their elderly relatives from care homes, to bring them out to protest 😂
Whilst there still might be an abundance of French jokes involving white flags. Look at the resistance the PEOPLE gave to German occupied France.
Their citizens realise that they DO have power over their government. It just takes enough people to protest, riot and commit acts of civil disobedience to force their hand.
No energy for rioting I'm hungry. The food bank ran out of stuff today, can you believe it. 😢
@@natillefoxy9881 Yes I can believe it. They are overstretched as so many need to use them now.
When you work full time and can’t afford to save for a house of your own cause half your income goes on paying someone else’s mortgage u know there’s a problem.
Even if there is no rent to pay , the utilities and the council tax eat up many of people s wages already
@@nrclever8167 don’t forget the food, Wi-Fi, phone,gym and god forbid u have enough left over to have fun.
Weymouth needs the ferry back, a pleasure pier again, a water park & bigger theme park alongside Sea-life centre.
Tourism is Weymouth's history, present & future.
“Big thinking”. I liked this statement. Something our current government is incapable of.
Wanting to join the army for a bed and food is dystopian, my God.
My dad joined the army in 1946 . He said he only joined because he was hungry !
@@tazpoochie In them days the longer you signed on for the more you got paid , my dad had to pay his way out . Also the mental illness in the forces after decades of doing what your told by the same shit politicians that put you in the position where joining the forces seemed the only option is terrible .
Everything that they're saying of Weymouth, a town I've visited and enjoyed many times, is true of many(most) coastal towns. My home town of Scarborough is almost identical. Lots of people retire here from the northern cities but they don't spend anything or really contribute much other than stressing the underfunded hospital. I'm the only person of my cohort of friends from school who still lives in the town. It's sad and the decline is becoming irreversible.
Excellent not to have a London-centric views and opinions.
They also spend a lot of their time complaining about tourists, in my experience.
I love Scarborough. When my kids were younger we would have a mini-break there every year! A pity more people dont do likewise to bring some money into the town! Its probably full of sewage now cos of the dodgy water companies. The levelling up funds were pathetic but the government has just given the water companies £1.6 Billion! Everything is so messed up.
Get a doc Martin character to be your local doctor
The apathy is stunning. Job done UK! You have a compliant and demoralised population.
Down with the patriarchy! ✊🏻
Patriarchy 😂😂. The moneyed classes have been raking it in and hoarding and protecting it all. Look at tax havens and politician corruption- patriarchy 🤦
In the "Recession Joe Biden" economy local businesses are feeling the pressure from higher food prices - seeing them double, sometimes triple what they used to be. Just another let's go Brandon moment
There is a perfect storm forming in America. Inflation, sever drought in the farm belt, the pandemic, food shortages, diesel fuel and heating fuel shortages, baby formula shortage, shortage of and price of available cars, the price of housing. It's all coming together and could lead to real disaster toward the end of this year.(or sooner)
As the economic crisis keep rising, one needs to have different streams of income, a well detailed diversified investment portfolio in the financial markets is needed to survive, as well as secure a profitable investment future.
@@lucianoboccedi Please let me know the name of the investment consultant you work with and, if possible, how I can contact them.
@@selenajack2036 Personally I work with Eleanor Annette Eckhaus a registered Investment advisor. Quite renowned, search her name to get in touch.
You can always spot an embaressed tory voter by the line "tory, labour, they are both the same!" no balls to own the fact they voted and caused these issues!!!
Well starmer is basically a torie he's literally thrown out all the left people who support labour strike or peace like some sort of head boy in the dorm of eton. Labour were different before Blair and they had a chance to be different under corbyn but they seem as disinterested in genuine issues. As detached from reality. They are just conservatives while tories have become radical right wing.
Or people just dont like political parties, how brainwashed must you be to comment such tosh. Not everyone buys into your culture war BS and sees politics for what it is.
@Jo Bloggs He was a crap leader. Should have had Burnham, he is at least more trustworthy than Starmer. Corbyn’s biggest downfall was the fact he wasn’t able to reach the centrists. Starmer will most likely achieve that but he doesn’t have the radical policies that go with it.
"Its better than having Labour" and i'll proudly suffer for it and wont apologize. Is the usual tory voter quote they always say
Maybe if Dorset hadn’t overwhelmingly voted to leave the EU the young guy at the beginning of the video would have been able to go find work and/or affordable studies and accommodation in another European country?
That's where all the funding came from.
Not been replaced by government spending since. It was money we got back from our membership of the EU.
Many voted to leave because they felt that a better future was possible. They were lied to.
That's what I did from the North East in 1986. 34 years in France now (via Saudi Arabia). Young people are now TRAPPED on Prison Island 🏝️🇬🇧. Well done Brexit-voters 👏👏👏.
@@andrewrobinson2565 It’s devastating
Why after all these strikes has there not been a general strike by the people of the UK?
Older folks have already got all the clothes they need. So good luck opening high street fashion outlets. 😊
I've been buying all my clothing and a lot of household items at thrift stores and garage sales here in the states. Even though I could afford to I'm not willing to pay the price of new
@@debbieframpton3857+1 Great idea 👍💡.
Could always open a knitting supply shop
The biggest issue in Dorset is the council, everyone knows it. Weymouth just won the bid for £20 million in 'levelling up'. Nobody is under any illusion that this money will be spent well and actually improve the economic prospects of the town.
People need stable employment and security of housing.
A zero-hours gig economy and exorbitant rents only benefit business owners and wealthy landlords.
Who would consider getting a mortgage and having a family when you can't afford to do both and don't know if you'll have any work next week ?
This is true. I’m 28, I know many of a similar age to me who genuinely feel like they will never be able to afford to start a family. That’s not only a personal tragedy for those who dreamed of having children, but is a demographic issue for the future. We will have a population of old people where hardly anyone is young.
@@JH-lf4ql
The shortage of workers brought about by low birthrates will have to be made up for by using immigration.
@@JH-lf4ql im 33 and probably dont want kids by choice so money worries wont be a problem for me.
But then you will have old people like 70 yr olds that will look like 20 yr olds due to advancing anti aging technology.
God's waiting room. But seriously people in this country lack vim and anger about what has happened in the last few years. But if there was a law affecting pets there would be rioting on the streets.
To be honest ,most peope thing its the fault of immigrants on dingys
@zahr Music most people are blaming the ever rising cost of living and cusumer goods on the fact immigrants are coming over in dingys??😂😂 Are you okay?
@@joeyparker7624 why are you askimg me if im ok?
@@Rebelconformist82 People always blame immigrants. There are places in England where the immigrants have invested millions.
Weymouth folk lapped up Tories lies , Brexit all the way , no sympathy
if 49.9% of your area voted for brexit - you're a victim, look what those nasty brexit people did to you.
if 50.1% of your area voted brexit - you ARE one of the nasty brexit people and are responsible whatever way you actually voted. hope you suffer.
Weymouth town is Labour/Green - its the surrounding countryside
Why is Weymouth housing so expensive - it’s looks a run down place to live in and full of old people…
Holiday homes
Well you voted for Richard Drax, the Tories & Brexit so enjoy it.
People were lied to, as per.
@@edmundblackaddercoc8522 thats no excuse
Weymouth town is Labour/Green - its the surrounding countryside that's Tory
@@olivermcgough4559 I agree, Totally.
If you want to work in IT, you can work fully remote anywhere in the UK. You don't have to work at the local shop if you have actual IT skills.
True although alot of companies still do "you need to be in the office one day a week"
I would say it’s better to be in London, many people live there first secure employment then move out
"Give Sunak a chance". Really though? 😂
Thanks! Great interview answers 😊 bless everyone & I hope the situation eases 😁💛
Tory council, Tory MP. Nothing will ever change with them in power.
These voxpops from across the country are both deeply insightful and incredibly infuriating.
For all the diagnosis of the problems, almost no one can see any solution, and no one believes either main political party will -- or can -- do anything to change things.
There's a total absence of political vision or sense of root causes... It's like watching farm animals complain about conditions on the farm, but with no concept of the farmer, land owner and customers that keep things like they are.
Great analogy.
Interesting analogy - but what would you do to try to change this for the better…? What is it that people could collectively try to do to improve things…?
We need to have a proper discussion about the aging population because the way our society is structured at the moment it won't work.
They'll all die off eventually, give it 10 or 20 years max!!!
@@PeterPete but then guess what we'll become the problem! Haha
Why is he smoking a USB stick 😂😂
Move abroad and let Britain become the old folks home it wants to be
Only thing to do is leave. Let the boomers work in the shops, pharmacy etc……
Older people move there. Then can't get to the hospital. Same as Lincolnshire
From the backdrop it looks like a large outdoor retirement home, not surprised that there aren't any bus drivers.
Moved to Bournemouth, up the road, in 2017. Within 2 years I'd had enough. It simply wasn't the same charming place that it used to be. Homeless people, people shooting up in parks, violence, closed shops. And then Covid hit, and made the situation even worse.
3:48 fascinating to see people of the older generation starting to realise that having fewer people living here who are willing to do jobs like driving buses is going to impact directly on them. The hospital she was going to probably has a lot of vacancies too. Luckily her generation spearheaded the totally sensible policy of Brexit and wants less immigration, so I'm sure these things will get better over time. FML.
I love the comment that it looks like the council is run by older people - so true 🌟older people are stuck in aspic and want to return to the 1940s…
You won't find a poor councillor!!!
Everyone on this video giving the Torys a free pass. I'm not saying Labour would solve everything.
Hello Weymouth, from Greymouth NZ. Maybe its the name. Our town's the same. Closed shops and dying econimy, old boys on the council lining their pockets and that of their mates. At least we have bush and ocean i guess.
Weymouth, tory town that voted brexit, sorry, no sympathy for the place at all.
Weymouth (and Portland) are very Labour/Green. XR are huge down here - that guy who tied himself to Everton's goalposts is from here. Its the Dorset countryside that swings us Tory
As someone who lives there it has always been a great place to retire or bring up kids but not for any great career. Along with Portland next door it is a second home territory and beautiful in the summer so that props it up. It's council tax banding is one of the highest in the country aswell and the house prices have massively jumped up over the last 8years. Just needs fresh ideas and incentives from the council for businesses to start.
DONT MATTER WHERE YOU LIVE IN ENGLAND ITS A SHIT COUNTRY WE ARE THE SOFTEST COUNTRY IN THE WORLD NAME ONE OTHER COUNTRY IN THE WORLD THAT LOOKS AFTER FOREIGNERS AND NOT THERE OWN PEOPLE ALSO NAME ONE OTHER COUNTRY THAT DOES NOT HAVE THERE OWN PERSON AS PRESIDENT I MEAN WE ARE ENGLAND AND HAVE A PAKKI AS ARE PRIMINISTER FUKING JOKE
That IT guy with the vape, now is the time to literally work from anywhere, so many companies are sill working from home and saving themselves a fortune that if you are any good you'll have no problem working from anywhere.
No need to move to London to work for London anymore.
But to start any WFH job you'll need to be in the office and then transition to WFH.
@@empressdoinalot I've been fully remote at every job I've had in the tech industry for the past 6 years. You really don't need to go into an office ever if you don't want to
@@empressdoinalot Since when? I've never met half of my team in person.......
Working from home is terrible and boring
@@drunkensailor112 for you maybe, it works perfectly for me as I gain an extra 5 hours at least of my own time back per week. I can talk to people as and when I want to and I can concentrate better as and when I need to.
I can pause work for a an hour or so if I need to sort a personal errand and make it up whenever I want which means I don't need to waste leave where I would have had to in the past.
There are many many benefits to working from home and not many downsides at all.
Surely your local MP has enough money to invest in the town? Mr Drax, how about it?
He could finance it by selling some of his land?
Arkeos....he doesn't need to....still profiting from slavery to this day....even recently from inheritance.
Reparations are coming though.
the guy at 2:28 is right coastal towns/cities do have limited job offers. I am in IT and i feel like jobs are more outside london then in london.
I love this channel!
The guy in the red/blue jacket would be an asset for any employer...he is really honest and trying very hard to find a job and build his own life
A bit naive though politically. He said he gave Johnson a chance, then Truss and now Sunak despite all the lies, the disastrous economic decisions taken by Truss which led to the mortgage crisis and the Covid partiee. Hes one of those dreaded people who will always vote Conservative no matter what they do.
Insightful interview
If you want to do a piece about forgotten seaside towns then come to Torquay. It's carnage here.
i am surprised because i always hear its lovely there . sadly so many places have and are changing .
@sweeta 17 k The natural scenery and the bay are beautiful - the high street and the homelessness problem unfortunately has got really bad ...
@@chrishall7915 sadly not quite the english reviera anymore . my ideal place to live would be by or nea a lake in a cabin where it is spring / summer all year round . can dream why not at least its something thats free .
@@sweeta17 :-) That sounds nice.
I think the job market across Dorset is abysmal. No one can afford to live here on the poor wages and scraps available
2m25s - can you not wait just 2 minutes till this finishes then you can smoke your highlighter pen once we're done here?
I lived in Swanage for 12 years, it's just a dump all a round, very druggy and lots of alcoholics, also lots of class crap....
Had a lot of summer holidays in Weymouth, getting expensive but still a lovely place.
Even more expensive now especially parking!
When i bought my first property 30 years ago it was more or less 2 times my annual salary , now that has risen certainly in my part of the country to 4 times , thats for a basic starter house, in London and the south in general I suspect that figure is 10 times, what chance do the younger people of this country have of making a decent life for themselves? I know the London figure is factual as I have compared my professional role in both London and Lancashire, guess what, they both pay the same yet housing is at an totally unaffordable price in the south, especially London.
Firstly I would say anyone struggling in the London area should consider selling up and moving north, younger people with good qualifications should consider getting out of the country altogether , this country is a prime example of wealth not being distributed equally, its a damning indictment of previous governments especially the Tory party , we have become a poor nation with little prospect for change, totally mis managed at the highest level. In twenty years time we are heading for a pension timebomb, because everyday items are so expensive a smaller percentage are putting money away for pensions, it is impossible for many people to save money which just isnt there, wages have stagnated while raw essentials have rocketed, the number of people relying on state benefits will be overwhelming, a bleak picture, certainly we are heading back to Victorian times.
No it's shite up here we have enough Southerners moving to Yorkshire.
York is like a mini London now.
The entire financial system is the problem!! It needs radical change but who's going to change it?
Cheap package holidays nailed coastal towns cap on.
Implying brexit was the nexus of the decline shows a lack of understanding.
Person on the breadline voted tories 😂
Some of interactions were some of the most insightful I have heard, very considered and nuanced, . The people are not the problem they seem educated and switched on.
Sad that so many areas are suffering from a lack of long term investment, the decline has been going on for 40 +years. Usual issues younger people can't afford to live in the area and have to move out and then you have an imbalance in age demographics.
Not to mention it *Breaks Up Families.*
When family is wrong, nothing is right.
Breaking up families hurts the hearts of humans.
Weymouth one of the cheapest in Dorset, only recently have the prices gone up
That's how it feels in Scunthorpe, abandoned 4:05
There is always a horse’s a ** e under a ponytail
The UK has a crisis of not enough housing, ultimately that is the reason why things are so bad in terms of cost of living, there are also problems with transport. Faster rail links in and out of London and construction of massive swaths of housing around London (expanding London itself as controversial as it may be) and expanding the commuter towns in Kent, Surrey etc this has to be done if things are to get better.
Just start to deport all the immigrants .
Holy crap look at all the oldies in that hood!! 😨
shortage of bus drivers but the first young guy says he's looking for a job.......
This is the kind of dystopia you get when you have a large demographic of non-productive pensioners with widespread support for Brexit and a drying-up of EU funds replaced by empty Tory promises.
Lack of drivers lack of medical workers lack of funding . I mean what could a contributing factor be ?
Shit wages
My local garden centre prob gets 90% of its trade from the over 60s.
In all honesty it's like a bread crumb nation. Put crumbs in the middle of a towel and lift it from the Centre. The crumbs go to the side. That's literally what's happened to the UK. Unlike other European nations and North America there is only really 'one' city and that's London. Anyone who believed in the 'Northern Powerhouse' marketing probably would of faired better watching the Full Monty in Sheffield.
Northern powerhouse, levelling up. All just buzzwords nothing changes.
I'm just curious, are there not a lot of IT positions that offer remote work in the UK? I'm in Seattle USA and our entire IT team is remote.
There is remote working but many organisations will insist that you spend 50% of your working hours physically in an office. Basically a great number of tory donors have bought up large amounts of office space that they rent out. If true remote working came into place, they would lose hundreds of thousands of pounds.
Nice beach at Weymouth
I grew up in weymouth. I was there for 30 years. I dont live there anymore because i couldn't afford to live there. The town is taking a huge nose dive. Good to see businesses opening around the area our of town.
It's funny everyone commenting how rubbish the government is... but what you gonna do about it? Venting online won't change anything. You lot ain't the French enough to start rioting. You're not fanatic enough to be assassins. What's the solution?
There are protests that go on here in England and they are still going on but the media won't report on them
Inflation is from one place and one place only, it has its source & origin in Government printing Cash and distributing this through so-called quantitative easing. Governments have only one option to stop inflation they must "bring in the Cavalry" the cavalry is INTEREST RATES ! ! This is to bring in & harness the money supply, but Governments must also reduce spending. If Inflation is measured at 10% then Interest rates must be raised to above this, say 12% or perhaps 14% for a short time. After some years once Inflation has been controlled and brought down, interest rates can be normalised to something like 7% 8% or 9% this is normal, what we have right now is still an abnormal interest rate, 4% base rate is an abnormal and it is an emergency rate. Once any Government begins this policy (and the USA have not yet begun) it will soon "expose" their statistics as true or not, that is if Governments say Inflation is 10% but actually it is 15% then an interest rate up to 12% will not deal with inflation . . . Governments get exposed
Most jobs these days offer remote working that could an option 😊
I know I am being an arse but, did he try to sell the town based of war and a plague ahahaha
"Yes the tories messed up for a great number of years but I'm not 100% convinced Labour will do a whole lot better so I'll continue voting for the conservatives".
Hang on you just said that the Tories have messed up……. But you will still vote for them ?
@@growlerthe2nd712 Well, some of the Weymouthians in this video seem to follow this "logic".
Growler the 2nd.....yeah crazy logic!!
We have a lot of people in the US, old and young, moving out, ex-patting themselves to other countries like Mexico, Central America, Thailand, China, places that aren't suffering from the poverty caused by monopoly capitalism and US Imperialism, places that offer healthcare as a human right and where free speech still exists.
Unfortunately, a shortsighted government that has no awareness of its idiotic ideas and consequences is offering no solutions. On top of this, the local governments have little creativity to kick start these areas. The solutions that are offered are often old ideas that failed before and will fail again. Shops close due to changes in culture around shopping, so creativity is needed to reestablish new demand; paving high streets to encourage shoppers hasn't worked. Entertainment is still based on outdated ideas that fail to attract users and new custom. Towns like this all over the country need to work towards being centres of life and not satellites of those larger towns that attract all the investment.
No everything is underfunded so everything is breaking, dismantling the welfare state has let many to destitution so there is no money to pump into local economy and consequently no jobs which leads to further cuts ad infinitum
Older generations voted Brexit because of a feeling of the good old days.
Remember the 70s and 80s. People went to Germany to work or end up on the dole., Britain has voted for sanctions on themselves. These people are right, older people retiring to seaside towns driving young people away.
Where’d you get the custom mic windshield? Thanks 🙏🏽
The wonders of brexit. 😢
Seaside towns have been in decline for decades..
Join the forces, young man. I hope you get in and make it. Cheap housing, food at the scoff House and less than ideal pay but its a good career.
And that woman who said, seaside towns are for older people is not lying. I understand the bus problems after my stint as a student in Norfolk.
Nice beach Weymouth, I have to say.
And put his life on the line for these leeches In Parliament?
@edmund blackadder coc my boyfriend puts his life on the line for this commonwealth cause he came from elsewhere. That's why I said being the forces can be a good because I know what I'm talking about.
@@empressdoinalot Your boyfriend is a few months away from being sent to get shot in a field fighting the Russians. You couldn’t pay me any amount of money to convince me to join the British Armed Forces. It is not a good career. Not because the soldiers aren’t brave or their service not admirable, but because a posh Tory Etonian would decide when your life would be over.
The amount of money this country wastes on the army is horrendous. The money could be put to much better uses such as infrastructure and healthcare.
Well, at least the weather is warm down there and your energy bills are almost nothing

Whats the lad in the grey coat smoking....dont they sell capstan or woodbine anymore 😂
Sounds exactly like were I am, and it's the other end of the country. Even down to the IT jobs being in the big city

Ask big businesses how they are doing?
Sunak doesn't turn up to a vote to do with Johnson's lies...think that tells you all you need to know about what he's like
Really easy to fix most of our problems. Re-join the single market to fix the economy. Invest in infrastructure and our services to fix the needs of people. Tax fairly and close the loopholes for of shoring money, made here by big firms and highest earners. Invest in young peoples education and provide options for them to do a trade via apprenticeships. Stop blaming our problems on others, the EU of people in dingys.... Its our systems and bronken tax regulation that needs fixing.
God's waiting room...😂
It sure is 😂
I give the Royals my seat and sit on the floor where I belong.
Seems everywhere is the same.
If people think that Labour are going to come riding in and sort everything out they’re very much mistaken!
Not a chance,Labour Party are finished with for good,Be a time when Labour party wont never exist ever again,Look what they did last time they where in power ?? do you want to come back to that again,Next time be even worse with wars be blowing up the country,Till there no England left,It all be blown up in the middle of the wars,No Labour Party,No wars,No blown up country,They are all finished with ages ago,People will have to get over it,Cost of living will increase,People will pay the price,Unlike Labour party expext it all to be free of charge till the Country goes bankrupt,People dont like it,They have to get them selves a Job !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
slavery - UK has failed
Your all going to get old one day and who the hell said living on the coast is only for the young
Keep voting conservative..😁
Oh they will.
Ahh yeh labour will fix things XDDDDD. maybe if you donate enough under the table they will build some houses here and there XD.
Weymouth town is Labour/Green - its the surroundings
Aearon Gibson....you'll be old one day.
Remember that. It will come sooner than you think.
The old worked hard in this country only to see it fall down now.
Up to the young to pick it up...stop moaning and get on with things.
If you think life was easy for older people I can tell you it wasn't!!
Many had to go without...trying to make it better for themselves eventually.
Look back into history....might learn something.
Its even worse up north.... people need to say no no no
Rubbish you can work remotely in IT and live anywhere!
