- RAT TOWN Rats live better than us in hellish ‘ghetto’ estate riddled with sewage and fungus - slum landlords have left it to rot.
Addicts overdosing on a regular basis in this rundown council estate.
Anyone who thinks that Starmer will do anything about this is living in a dream world. Politicians don’t give a shit about us.
Parliament, as a whole, does not give a damn outside of itself, and yet people vote for it
Yeah keep voting Tory! 30 of the last 36 years have seen the Tories in power but somehow people keep voting for them and blame the opposition party for all of Britain's problems?? Good luck with that!
@@pavlovsdogmanyeah and if you believe labour are gonna do any better then you should be the one who’s living in egerton court on drugs
Liebour,CONservative ,it matters not,all in the same club , almost all are Fabian's!
If Labour gets into power with a Majority with Starmer then this country truly is FUCKED!!
Make no mistake 😮💨😮💨😮💨😮💨😮💨😮💨😮💨😮💨
Feel sorry for the decent people who have to live in these types of communities. It's a countrywide epidemic. Great content Bill
There are no decent people in Cumbria, I live here so I know
@@steaustin8789 you just disrespected yourself there mate🤷🏻
There’s good people in everywhere if you look hard enough
Great comment 👍@@davejenko
The government cannot sort these poor northern areas out and restore towns like Barrow back to their former glory but can afford to put 100's of thousands of illegal migrants in hotels and countless other bonuses at a huge cost (last i heard it was 7 million a day) at the tax payers expense, its an absolute disgrace! I'm from Grimsby, a once proud world famous fishing town and now its pretty much the same as Barrow.
I’m glad you are noticing how bad this country is for the natives now,I thought it was just me seeing this decline over the last ten years I just hope a lot more people are waking up to this,it seems that if you arrive here in a dinghy you get special treatment and privileges over us working class folks,unfortunately the Labour Party will make it even worse because of their policies on immigration just look at Sweden and now Ireland for example,good luck lad
I can see that you are all benefiting from Brexit!.
Money for war not the poor,fkn disgusting politicians.
@@basicconcepts1d brexit would of been brilliant but our politicians betrayed the working class people and sold us out,and this hasn’t got anything to do with brexit yet clown 🤡
It’s a fooking disgrace
No work, no purpose, no future, no sense of community, no respect.
And few getting out to live elsewhere, and therefore get a life
@dougaldouglas8842 What a bell. Talking about stuff, you have no clue of. Good luck in your warped mind. C u next Tuesday x
No fun 😂
There is always work and a chance to improve... But if you don't want it then...
Imagine poor kids being brought up there.
Sad man
Not a chance in life have they? 😢
@@missmuffet3874oh yes
Parents, if there are such things, should take responsibility and move, and they can move if they wish to do so. I have travelled with my wife around the country, working
Not the kids it's gobby chavs . I've got jumped by on rawlinsom , steel toe boots and knocked me silly with a glass bottle . Broke my nose in 6 places, you can't much floor against laying the boot up . I came round , turned the leader and said all you got ? With my nose bent to the side of face . My crime, according to him was " looking at funny" he on left side and I'm half on that side so I can't really anything ..
@@STRONGERTHANDEATH0.01 "I came round , turned the leader and said all you got ?" Ooooh, you're hard!
Great Britain is in a managed decline.its not by accident!!!!!
That's how we felt in Liverpool in the early 80's. It's a provable fact it was the Governments plan.
Yep, all orchestrated. They all reply back with well if you hadnt colonised half the world bullshit.
So is America and Western Europe. This is what happens when average men are too cowardly, or lazy to fight.
How would this managed decline look different from a normal economical decline? Just curious?
@@colnixon8989 I just answered your question and it was removed within minutes. Your question is easy to answer but googleshite is making it look as if nobody can.
Sadly Barrow has been left behind like other places, and Egerton Court looked depressingly grim. Imagine living their 24/7….good vid Billy.
Not many people are highlighting these swept under the carpet areas so bravo to this man.
Modern day Great Britain billy mate , folk living like that , whilst politicians wipe their arses with £50 notes
💯💙
It’s even worse than that, some of the b*stards, like Johnson and his cronies, back when they were young students, used to burn £50 notes in front of beggars to humiliate them, imagine the sort of mind set that does something like that, then imagine what that sort of person will do to struggling population when they they think they are Billy Big Nuts and charge of a country!☹️
Get tooled up people of Britain . 🏴
And get TIME. This country is Finished. Mass Migration and Drugs have ruined this country.
I wish. I doubt it will happen though. Managed decline is called democide.
Them flats if down south would be bought up by investors and be High end apartment's.
For sure
thats soooooooooo right iam living in one police are round in 2 minutes if they is any trouble howerver we are 2 mins walk from scotland yard
@@jamesbomd3503 in a bad area wouldn't matter if old bill was next door, still take them 2 hours 😲😳.
Don't be so thick and uneducated then.
Thinking the same thing. Really nice old red brick buildings. It's the same in Newcastle and probably most UK cities.
Good on you for documenting a side of Britain that needs highlighting and sorting out. Sad indictment on society these places exist.
Thanks 🙏
I agree 💯, i think it's too late to be able to change though, country's gone to the dogs. 👌💯.
They would have been nice places to live in 60s and 70s. But like the rest of Britain it's all gone tits up.
Ethnic minority immigrants would love the opportunity to be housed there.
Hi billy.
I'm a from barrow born and breed unfortunately, I was actually shocked to see u do a video down there what made u come up this way?!. Barrow was a lovely place 15-20 years ago. But has now gone to shit. The town is plagued with drug deaths and sex offenders. Egerton court has always been a rough spot that too has had a few drug deaths and suicides over the years. I remember many years ago I was struggling to find a new house and out of poor desperation arranged an interview to view one of them flats on Egerton court. I took a rain check and decided not to show up for the viewing id rather be homeless than live there luckily found somewhere else but even if u were desperate u would want to live there. It definitely does need knocking down. Apparently that's where the council house all the unsavoury characters to try and keep them all in one place. There is rougher areas than that in barrow. Ormsgill is a notoriously rough estate few people have been murdered up there over the years.
Thanks for your input appreciate it - decided to get out and about and check it out after reading reports on the death rate due to drug addiction.
It was a lovely place yrs ago, i remember when i was younger i stayed on peel island and it was packed, and i ended up with sun stroke, and then stayed at me step dad's mate's on Barrow island when i was about 15 and it was alright, but it started going downhill about 25 yrs or so ago, quite sad really but now it's really not a nice place. 👌💯.
@@MichaelParkinson-wz1nh what happens when we loose industry and the locals no longer take pride in their area.
@@MultiDrew83 yeah i agree with you, cos i bet barrow was a rich place yrs back, cos of the ship building heritage, like cammel laird in Liverpool, take that away and you end up with places like this, have a good weekend brother, 👍👌💯.
@@MichaelParkinson-wz1nh still got a worldclass submarine building yard the Chinese can only dream about. We need a full calibration of the UK and revive our old industries and get folk off the dole!!
Like the old slums they demolished years back in Vauxhall, Liverpool
That's what the maisonettes down Pitt Street in Chinatown used to be like in the early 1980's. The only time I've ever saw a £10 of skag.
I was just about to say the same. They are like old victorian slums
used to go to walney island, a couple of miles from there . brother had a caravan there for about 20 years. absolute brilliant place ,proper lovely in the middle of beautiful farm land, nature reserves and peel island. i really loved it, me bird and kid's and their cousins proper loved it . magical place . imagine it , we're from vauxy!! we went for about 14 years , caravan was falling to bits 😅 has had to give it up 😢 haven't been back since 2014 . kids have grown up now and we all still miss walney 😢.
Iam from bootle billy and i have lived in barrow since 1974 its not a bad place but like all over the country things have gone to shit most of the drug dealers are from liverpool .and they cant demolish egerton court its grade2 listed tara billy
Tara Jimmy ☝️👌
Thought they may be listed. Look like nice gaffs from the outside.
Jim the local looks well groomed and decent, ive seen much worse places than this before, The architecture is quite beautiful actually !!
He did look like a very decent lad, seemed educated too.
Yeah 1 out of how many, and he wasn't actually on the estate, he pointed Billy they're, so yeah educated enough not to take him there lol 😆.
I’ve lived in the South Lakes Junction 3536 M six and I’ve been to barrow many times and I didn’t know all this existed I was born in Toxteth moved here when I was 17 and 58 now
Barrow is one place that many prisons within 100 miles couple of hundred miles will send people when they’re homeless and have nowhere to go most of the people you will have spoken to will have not been Barrow people
England is lost. I left 20yr ago after blair destroyed the country.
Blair didn't help but don't pretend it wasn't the tories who have destroyed this country lad
Only Thi, but you and thousands of others are there.
He was just following the orders of his zionist masters
@@Hoxton66 been there many many times bro,might not be pickpockets but peados defoe,not all. Have a great weekend.
@@Hoxton66 Moved here 2007 never ever thought of going back. Its fked mate.
There is not a single politician in the UK who will stand up against the drug trade.

A Victorian open prison in Cumbria sadly a reoccurring theme throughout the country a couple of steps behind the American model but its coming
Ye totally agree buddy 👍
Agree completely - ALL the crap comes from America- they have dragged the entire world down to their cesspit.
Man looks like the south bronx. Catch myself wishing these kind of vlogs were longer.
The result of Tory levelling up!.
You make interesting videos. Likeable character. Reckon would be bang on for doing longer docs on whichever format ( BBC, BBC i-player, vice etc ) 1hr or so on interesting topics.
I would Invest in the making of a 60 minute Documentary. Great work. Remember, future historians can look at the social conditions of 2024.
That boat was a casualty of the great tornado of 1977. That's how it got there
No it was stolen from my garden, a year ago
Sounds like something off that film "I am Legend". Great video as always Billy... keep up the good work. Brilliant content.
Imagine setting up a butty van for your first business around there....
How about a mobile library??? That way people can get educated, earn more money, better job, better home.
I’m from Barrow and some other of the nicest people come from Barrow Island
Looks like a place from Victorian times. Very sad.
And I though parts of my home town of Kirkby where rough!
Great vid mate keep up the good work
A couple mobile police stations, strong community policing, sports clubs , CCTV and a few community wardens on patrol would start to lift this area up from the gutter.
Sadly being left to own devices does not work on these neglected areas
💯👌
Billy looks like Risley without the wall 😅
With what you said .. reminded me of the film " the platform " at the bottom the dregs of society
The place looks run down and forgotten ahout and a sad sight to see in 2024
good place to highlight Broken Britain @ Billy
Make a good film set for a film, like train spoting, or a gangster film, mind you probably have there cameras nicked
You can visibly see how drained you are just by being in that environment for a short while , I have lived in rough areas and every day is so stressful and filled with anxiety as we know , a constant battle plus I’ve also lived in a very affluent area and still faced very bad bullying /abuse and intimidation etc ,I have come to understand (wake up )that where there are people there are problems . My heart hurts for the Children and pets 🙏. Earth Angel work this is Billy thank you 🌍👼💡👌💪👊x
Hey Billy. I was brought up in Barrow but moved to Childwall (where my Dad was from ) when I was 14. Those flats were always a bit ropey, but I think some of the courts are worse than others. They are listed buildings and I know some of the courts have been restored and are pretty nice, but others seem to be a bit of a ‘dumping ground’ for people who are struggling unfortunately. Barrovians in general are very friendly people…… did you see Emlyn Hughes’s statue near the railway station?
Great little vid mate, glad you’ve explored Barrow. Get to Greens pie shop next time you go. 👍
Omg Barrow used to be a great place to go when I was younger.. so sad to see this..
Mad place Barrow, I've seen some crazy shit and im from wigan
Me to mate, Wigan's fucked but not as fucked as Barrow.
In all Furness
I’ll get me coat
You've pulled, 😁.
Fookin hell. Listen Bill I've worked down there in B. I. Furness, Wallney Ireland rough as toast! Nice one Billy. Respect my mate good decent content. 🙏🥊
Walney Islands nice mate. You can see Isle of man on a clear day. The beach on ya door step
I can’t believe people are living like that? I not easily shocked and I have seen some rough places but that is a disgrace for a so called first world country.
We might have been a first world country during Queen Victoria's reign. Since those days this country has slowly and relentlessly declined to what we see all around us today.
No wonder it’s full of addiction, I wouldn’t be able to stay clean there it’s too depressing, good video..
Cracking Content as usual 👏🏻
Hi Billy, im from Barrow-in-Furness and watch your videos. Suprised when i seen this.
Thats the roughest place in Barrow. Some nice places in Barrow and a lot of money paid in wages due to the ship yard where i work.
The drugs they are all on are brought to the town by scousers.
Not just scousers tho!!
Maybe not mate but when I used drugs back in the day every phone number was a scouser, fact.
The birth of county lines back then scousers
I'm from Barrow in Furness I lived in sloop St flats when I was 18 I'm 45 i was brought up on South Walney which is lovely now the flats have always been rough but Egerton court is the worst area in barrow I'd say its so grim also parts of Ormsgill and Longway area are rough full of drugs an addicts living along side good people also I live in County Durham now the towns gone downhill it's got nowt to offer if it wasn't for the shipyard it would be alot worse I feel there filling hotels with immigrants also which isn't good for the town either
🙏☝️
I know who the government can put in there that estate.. instead of hotels and the lovely apartments which other people need...see if they like staying here then.
Couldn’t agree more,well said sir 👍
Why are you too afraid of saying the words?? Illegal migrants.
Hey Billy, I'm not sure if you do follow up videos but I'm the guy you were speaking to before you got to the ego. It's Jim. Hope the rest of your stay was ok you looked pretty despondent on your way out of town. I'd be happy to give you a tour the next time your up this way as I don't believe this one estate is a true reflection of my home town. It is rough in areas but on the whole its a a working class town with a proud history and heritage and the majority of its people are salt of the earth types. So if you do come back I'll take you to a nice boozer I know and I'll buy you a pint. Barrow's not all bad, you just need to know where to look.
Great video Billy
be safe always brudda 👍we got places like this in the south west of bristol too mate luckily i grew up here
From your face a bad experience & it was still affecting you as you drove away but you were warned, by that 37 year old bloke who looked about 24
if you go to an unfamiliar & built up housing area & are surounded & challaged by the locals NO MATTER HOW TOUGH YOU ARE ! it is normal to feel threatened👀
Thats your survival instinct kicking in, flight or fight ! well you made the smart choice
Wonderful Victorian stone buildings, but its a containing colony now for hard substance users & any housing officer would tell you that, otherwise they would place a lot of asylum seekers there.
LIKE THE MOVIE THE GODFATHER well done on the great camera angles
Thank you 🙏
Lord Cavendish owns a lot of Barrow Island flats. I was once sent in with another officer to remove a tenant. Not a very nice place over there. The general population of Barrow in Furness a lovely people. I now live overseas and I always remember Barrow has been a down-to-earth place but sadly there is those lowlife’s who just cause trouble, and no nothing else
Hi Billy, Thanks for your vid. I was really surprised to see how awful that place was!. I always assumed that Barrow would be a nice place, however I suppose there are bad parts to every place. In regards to those who challenged you, your better to just bite your lip and walk away mate!. We can't talk to people like that. We just can't get through to them. Hopefully one day they will see that there's a life out there free from addiction. So I wish them well. Anyway Billy, try to not let it get you down and ruin your day mate, it's just where there at now!. Unfortunately Billy there are some individuals that won't ever be free from that lifestyle so it's for the best that we distance ourselves from them until and unless they reach the stage where they want to change!. Anyway Billy thanks again for your vid. John. 💯🤔👍
Be careful Stay safe Billy 👍💙
Went to Barrow in 1980s to visit Egerton Court area because they looked like Glasgow tenements made of brick. Unique in England. Nobody challenged me for taking photos (still have) unlike in Birkenhead where locals seemed bemused that i would photograph the big central square which is very impressive, bit like Edinburgh.
this Green and pleasant land.🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣
It's green alright, full of grasses. 😊.
My home town! I actually moved from there to Toxteth. It seemed pretty posh in comparison. Less chance of getting your head stoved in too. 😂
what an eyeopener even the homeless wouldnt want to be there ,No place for humans to live what chance do the young ones stand growing up there .
so why does Liverpool get a bad name when Barrow exists?
Most of the drugs in Barrow are supplied from Liverpool
Because of Scousers
Makes me appreciate beautiful Pwllheli Billy. They look like the outsides of prison wings those flats. You should get down this way Billy. Suns out and your kid would love it
Proverbs 23: 21-23 Look not on the wine when it is red, when it sparkles in the glass. It goes down smoothly; but in the end it bites like a serpent or like a poisonous adder. Your eyes behold strange sights, and your heart utters disordered thoughts
these vids deserve a bigger audience
The Shipyard is booming. There is no excuse, they can't find enough workers.
I spend quite a lot of time in barrow and have quite a few pals there. I'm very surprised i never knew this place existed!
I live in Birmingham and I've never even heard of this place. Very interesting to see other places in England that i didn't even know existed. I need to get out more and travel around the country but ill probably give Barrow Island a miss
The flat with St George's flag was where I lived in the 60s. 🏴
Love the BULLSEYE speedboat . . . .
It's probably yours for a tenner bag haha 😆😆.
Great content again Billy. The country is at a low point in some areas. Gone back to Victorian times. Needs a rebuild.
That style of the buildings looks like Newsham park upgraded to a full estate.
What u chatting about lad 😂

@@bigh6109 Think we already know the answer, the 👻 in Newsham aren't real but the ghouls in Barrow certainly are!
Sweet Jesus I wouldn't fancy delivering pizzas late at night in that place.
This video should be screened on the night of the next general election then people can see exactly what is happening to this country under this government and use there votes to try and change this situation this is not the only place neglected like this good reporting
you think Labour is your answer??? I think not.
Worst place I've ever seen in Europe is the Sails of Scampia Naples Italy 🇮🇹 dramatised in the best and most brutal TV series of all time GOMORA... Would love to see you cover that area Bill hell I'd go there with you brother 👊😎 Once had the pleasure of shaking your hand a few years back I didn't know who you was at the time like but I sure do now and in my opinion your the greatest Scouser to come out of Liverpool since John Lennon mate keep doing what your doing no matter what 👊😎 Much love and Respect from Jake in L20
I’ve been to Naples, it is a sh1t hole and has some real rough spots. x
@@missmuffet3874 you seen GOMORA
Northern England always been neglected by all governments
In Cumbria this is the closest thing to ‘the projects’ of New York
If that place was in the Albert dock it would cost a fortune to live there it has a lot of character to the place but the drugs have ruined that place by the looks of it
Lovey 18th century architecture
Why blame drugs?? I blame the sheep who allow their areas to be taken over by druggies. People need to start growing a backbone in this country before you have no country left.
Cracking video to cover Yr tracks haha
😩😩
Best of luck trying to take Billy’s phone off him 👍🏻😂😂😂😂
💯😂👌
Liverpool seems like an amazing city. Would love to go some day
Truly depressing. Just wondering, does anyone know in what decade those tenement blocks were constructed ? And would they have been considered lower or higher end working-class housing at the time ?
Near death experience going there Similar to that guy wanting his toaster back when in prison😂😂😂😂😂😂
Shame on the councils. Great your bringing this out. Sadly addicts make a lot of place in Liverpool un touchable. But the police also have long lost control of liverpool.
They could make horror movies there
😂
Won the boat on bullseye 😂😂😂. Only people of certain generation get that gag. Topman Bill, keep up the great work.
My hometown barrow mate that court is a shithole
Stay safe billy lad
You could come unstuck anywhere. Not a local so your at the mercy of the idiots. Surprised to see tenements like that in Barrow, not surprised by local addicts being hostile.
Some guy from Barrow walking around Croxteth or Norris Green with a camera, wouldn't end well I think.
I would rather take my chances in Liverpool than there it's really bad I lived not far away from there for a while
@@stephenharris7982 Liverpool city centre is amongst the best. People in general are nice and the buildings speak for themselves. Some absolutely horrible estates within the city. Not dressing them areas up. My favourite large English city by a long way.

As rough as burnt toast
