@gozitan5 Yeah, Labour under that idiot Blair opened the doors for all these foreigners to flood in, and now the morons of Britain have voted for another Labour government. Too thick to realise which government started this, and just blamed the Tories for everything that's wrong with this country.
Arrived in Hull. No job, only £6K to live on with no job. found a great place to live, very affordable. Found a job very quickly. realised I'm in a beautiful part of the country. Close to York, Lincoln and Leeds. If you want to make a video about social deprivation target it at the rich who don't pay their fair share of taxes. Not the great city of Hull.
You are misrepresenting my city. This is not typical of Hull. You have chosen to go to a few run down places m, the majority of the city is a lovely place m. But there are (like every city) some neglected areas which are often due to a minority of the community choosing drugs and alcohol and crime over hard work.
Hull is the greatest city in the UK. I know loads of people who moved here to study at Uni and have never left cos they love it so much. Most of us are skint but everyone is friendly, we all know our neighbours and everyone helps each other out whenever we can. We are so proud of our city. Nowhere else like it
I am 55, have 4 kids and 10 Grandchildren, I would be gutted if that was my daughter. She spoke to you very easily, you have a wonderful way with people. ❤🙏

the Ye Olde Black Boy is the oldest pub in Hull (1729). We also have the smallest window in England in old town which I find interesting I love our history
Btw, the name refers to the fact it used to sell tobacco as it's based in old town and on the estuary, black boy was a stronger flavour of tobacco imported in.
I work in debt recovery and work all over the north of england , i've worked in hull a few times now , people are very friendly and trust me there a lot worse places ( Manchester, liverpool , bolton ,oldham ) to name a few.
The best parts of Hull are never shown, it has some wonderfull new private estates, homes are going up all the time. I live in the Hull postcode and it's a lovely place,. Millions has been invested in the city, it's not all bad it really isn't.
It does need more investment, problem is, the location, you don't really change trains etc, the journey ends there, unless you travel to donny for connections or go north.
Thanks for that! I spent 4 years in Hull until 1991. I moved from the south. Everyone I met said I was the only tool that ever moved TO Hull coz everyone else was trying to move out 😂 Best 4 years of my life. Worked for Chris and Ben at MRN and had great night's out with tje other print staff. You brought back some great memories m8.
A lot of northern areas have never recovered from the kicking they had in the 80's. Still, the old town pubs In Hull are still sound as I was back there earlier this year for a few pints.
You are definitely misrepresenting Hull and its fabulous history yes there are some rundown rough places but the people are of the majority lovely! Hull has some mainly lovely residential streets as well it’s sad that Coltman Street is so run down now as it use to be full of doctors ! I love Hull there are far worse and rougher cities than this

I’ve always got time for someone who can do that, and I’ve been in a similar situation to him in and out of jail but have stayed away from trouble and jail since 1998.

same i live in hull (orchard park) have done for 20+ year but was born in Wakefield hospital and grew up in Pontefract until my 20's, you are right hull is no different to other city's and towns up here in Yorkshire, there is the good areas and the bad areas in every town and city problem is rather then councils dealing with it properly and getting people help they just move them around the towns and city's but always put them all in the same area giving that area a bad name, and to be fair on Orchard park its actually not that bad i have had my arguments, over kids mainly, including my own, but we all shrug it off and get along afterwards and look out for each other, there is no better community then a council estate community that's my experience since living here.
@@mjuk9621 Yes. Newspaper reports shouldn`t be seen as a substitute for statistics and Hull doesn`t do especially well here. That said, nowhere in this country (or in the developed world generally) is really that bad, it`s all largely overblown.
Hi Billy, thanks for your vid mate. This is Britain today!. There are far too many areas in England that look rundown and are riddled with Crime, Poverty and addiction Billy. Far too many people have little or no hope!. They are just existing and drifting through the struggles of their days. Listening to the young woman who spoke about how she sells her body just to get by and how she feels unsafe, was really upsetting to hear Billy, however this is many people's lives today Billy!. This was Hull, but it's the same wherever we go today in England. We now live in desperate and sad times!. Anyway Billy, thanks again for your vid. John. 😢😔👍
Try coming up to glad for a few days and you'll see things you've never seen believe me this is nothing mate I'm Scottish back in Scotland Glasgow and I've stayed in England for 27 years a Nd I know we're the rough ov the roughest is and its nit hull ffs get s grip hull that's posh to the housing scheme in Glasgow FFS get a grip😂😂
@@StephenMcinally-gr2ucit’s not a competition mate. I’m Liverpool born and bred, I’m living in Glasgow right now. Yeah it’s rough, but it’s no worse than the average English city. Glasgow was worse maybe 20 years ago but not anymore. Even Liverpool is worse than Glasgow id say. I’ve also lived in Birmingham. Now that is ROUGH
Too late things never get better only worse, gone to far. Should of all ways keep the country original, its a lak of strength and power no discipline and soft laws...rip uk
English people not standing up for themselves and pandering to the ethnic minorities - Ok that’s the government and if we did stand up we are called ray cist

That poor girl who was selling herself. My heart went out to her. Hope her life improves. ❤. The old part of Hull looks interesting, some history there. xx
You're into social history, like myself miss muffet, Hull is a very interesting place, i ain't been there in a long time, but it was a great fishing place, and it was a bit like Morecambe, busy sea port, now it's broken like the rest of Britain, 💔 x.
@@missmuffet3874 it was probably back in the 90s when I went there and it was actually an alright place, maybe not anymore since they got rid of the fishing fleet, kinda like Morecambe, but like i always say most of the time it's not the place, it's the ppl, like Lancaster a beautiful place, but some awful people who live there. 💯.
You think her story is bad , come on man , Hull's been like this since the 70s , Thousands like this girl have never got out of it , graveyards are full of them ......This city was finished a long long time ago 😮
I agree to a certain extent, i remember growing up in the 70s and the struggle's my parents went through and going on about, Thatcher ruining Britain and all the things she put a stop to, but I also remember when heroin hit big time in the nineties, yeah it was already around, but more underground, i started using heroin in the early nineties, and there was probably 50 addicts in my whole area, now there's probably thousands, but now it's not just heroin, it's cocaine, and freebase, i know ppl call it crack, but it isn't, but u also get ppl addicted to painkillers and other opiates, sleeping pills, and there seems to be a lot more drinkers, ppl can't afford to drink in their local pub anymore, it's cheaper to get these cheap cans of shit u could probably use instead of petrol 😆, but it's not a joke really, ✌️😎.
I remember going to Hull as a 14 year old in 1979 on a British Rail Mystery Trip, they were brilliant, cheap as chips, once went all the way to Southampton from up in North Lancashire, Morecambe. Anyway, it was a lovely city back then before Thatcher had decimated Britain’s heavy industries and coal. I’ll bet none in Hull ever imagined in their worst nightmares that it would end up like it has!☹️
@@missmuffet3874 Exactly my thoughts. 🤣. That was the first one I was allowed off on my own to a big city. My parents got off at Bridlington, God knows why, we went there every year in the caravan!🤔😬🤣British Rail were great, they had a Europe wide ticket for young people. I remember talking to an American when all the talk of privatisation was going on, he was telling me how our train fares would go down, just like in America. Yeah right!☹️😩 Really🤣
Mat,was that on the £1.00 go any where tickets if you were under the age of 14? Me and my friends did them,went the length and breadth of the UK,good days!
@@srtoothpickit’s what they wanted isn’t it? Just all about feathering their own nests. They are beyond disgusting and have no morals or ethics whatsoever.
Love these videos I'm in Luton it to is a shit hole, good to see other areas and how people live and we ain't the only area going through it cheers mate
I enjoyed going back to Hull Billy - felt for the girl there. That's tough - no support network. I hiked from the South of the Humber into Hull with my twin brother Paul in 2015 (attended a funeral in Barton). We knew it was rough - dossed down in the back of the King William, which was empty. As we were prepping some guy came in to pick up a stash-we piled some tables up against the wooden gates and blocked the entry. Sleeping on top of the remaining tables we had a sound sleep. My memories of the city - felt like you had to watch your back in some districts we passed through - met some decent guys in the center though - not all bad. Mark
Feel like you might be similar to me polite and humble N nothing to prove but feel I can tell some people have probably taken your kindness for a joke N then youve probably had to destroy them.. Just subscribed as you genuinely seem like a good man 👊 brother thank you keep doing what you're doing 👍❤️💯
I worked 10 months in the Daggerbank converterstation between Hull and Beverly and travelled from the city center to A10 everyday. So we went trough the areas north of the city and I also walked alot around hull and saw some misfortunate destinys. But still i Loved that charming small city and its ups and downs.
But other businesses can’t survive, that tells you these barbers, chippies, nail places etc are all money laundering , they only take cash.. but the corrupt politicians aren’t bothered.
Im from dingle but moved to ull...when i was 19....44 years ago...just about nailed it ...billy ..like most towns ..in uk...lot of out of work druggies ..grafting and getting by...same story a differant day mate ..great podcasts fella....
I was in Hull for a few days about 30 years ago and it reminded me of a smaller version of Liverpool.. the houses and flats and estates all looked very similar and pubs as well
@@user-ti3tq6kz9q Lib dem now but mostly Labour run. Orchard Park seems peaceful at that point but when i agree up you did not walk around there at night let alone daytime.
The centre is nice. The rest of the city less so. It`s been one of the poorest cities in the country for decades now, but it is better than it was. Definitely a more interesting city than most places of its size too.
These are the places I was born and raised… born Hessle road, lived on Inglemire lane, Orchard Park thorps, Gypsiville and hung around all areas in between and around. I took my kids and left, and would never look back or go back.
Aye well they still fry in dripping through Hull. Lot of family there, rough in parts yes you do need to watch your back sometimes. Least you went on a sunny day. Next time go on or around the first week of October for the massive fair not far from the flats at the beginning of the vlog your kids when they are older will love it.
Love the way you talk to people suffering with addictions bill..you weren't sharing your fish n chips with no one there lol..it'll be a sad day if you ever stop making content 💚✌🏻
Im a londoner born and raised..my mother was from hull she was proud of her roots..the orchard park estate was and still is were a lot of my relatives are living..some i have have never met- used 2 VISIT wen was young...loved orchard park estate- dont KNOW WHAT it's like now- my nana rose price had 11 kids all GOOD people my uncles and aunts- my mum has passed AWAY now bless her- good hard working woman- she met my DAD while he was working on the humber bridge- we lived london- britain has been forgotten the working classes are being made 2 look bad and ignorant and poor - the indigenous people of England are totally being forgotten- and made 2 look neanderthal like- and oversea PEOPLE ARE being told crap about working class people- been stitch up-
Love it when u do these videos,longer ones. Hull looks classic English, from my yank perspective. I hear from a lot of folks Dover is interesting place,some real characters.
@@BillyJ-vi8df Dover is fabulous…ive been there so many times…so much to see and do in the area….fly in buy a tent and stay at hawthorn farm in the summer…
In my home city Billy the area Cavill place Coltman street used to be such a great place to live but lack of money and corrupt councillors not regenerating the area plus the influx of Romians throwing shit all over like every council area in the North Billy same as Liverpool North and South divide but us northerners are the most friendliest people I love living in Hull great video Billy be safe and take care ❤👍
Coltman street used to be a very upmarket st at one time, some of the houses were owned by trawler owners and skippers, I wonder if wheeler is still down there! Or Lennox
As I child I used to walk from my grandparents house on Beaufort Close to the shops on walker / adelaide st, aged 8 or whatever I thought it was rough as fcuk, other grandparents live in 1980's council house on Constable street which was much nicer. However until I was an adult I never understood there where streets knocked down to make these new council schemes, I lived in east hull off Holderness road as child...everywhere in Hull appears to look worse year in year
Ffs man it’s just a saying she’s not gonna say associate is she go on have a laugh at someone’s life when this country turns to pure shit your gonna know what hardship is
Grew up on orchard all my life I've got 3 kids who have been brought up great you get good and bad in all walks of life not just council estates in fact you will find the most down to earth people on (council estates) half of the people who live round here work and provide and have a laugh and a joke it's class wouldn't change it at all love it everyone knows eachother you get good and bad days but that's life same as anywhere else ❤️💙💯👍
Quite a few of the comments say it’s the fault of the councils but councils have been deprived of a huge chunk of their money since 2010 but are still expected to deliver the same services. I’m from Newcastle but live in Hull. It’s got really nice areas, bags of potential and lovely people but it needs jobs and money.
great video billy that poor lass my heart goes out to her hope she can sort her self out been on the hard stuff my self and if it was not for the fact i chose not to be the same man as my dad i would have never got off it been around very naughty villains all my life as my dad was a fucker he's 68 now ages chills you has the life I had seems like me and my mum have been to every prison in the uk visiting it was shit man but I've been no saint my self but never been to prison i think if i had have i would have been in and out just like me dad you seem a top bloke pal keep it up billy nuff love from Sheffield.
This is what needs to change, men should be forced to work and pay for the kids they are banging out all over the place! There are working families out there having to decide if they can afford a second child and people on benefits have massive families! He would never have had ten kids if he'd personally been forced to work and pay for them. What if those ten kids are being raised to believe benefits is best too? If they even have half the kids he has between them that's still 50 future benefit claimants from one family! They breed like stray cats because they are sat around doing nothing. There's plenty of unskilled work out there.
Living in London in 97/98 I worked for Moss pharmacy out of Feltham Head Office when they were the first to role out needle exchanges in pharmacies. I had to work on the Orchard Park Estate evaluating security of staff and customers in these exchanges. Thought Page Moss and Dovecote was bad but this place left them standing.
Do bear in mind that (especially in areas of high unemploument), anyone who works beyond retirement age is effectively denying that position to a young person who may be eager to contribute to society by working
Interesting video Bill , visited Hull in 1984,the city seemed to be buzzing although it had lost alot of its traditional industry, looks hollowed out now, shame! Politicians have no interest in fixing this,to a degree they created it!
@@martinvegas1327third attempt to reply Martin,"they" obviously don't like the truth. This mess we find ourselves in is the responsibility of the political class ,who have deliberately run this country right into the ground since May 1945.

Its the high rise flats in Hull where its mad, Great Thornton Street and Valiant Drive get the most police call outs. A couple of months back they brought a sniffer dog into the block and took it on all the floors. 7 people where arrested just from sniffing at their doors and they gathered intelligence on numerous other properties.

I like Hull though its our go to place for everything ,maybe rough but iv always felt safe there.
Sasha was filmed on Coltman Street which was once a very posh place to live, Hull's old town is pre 1950's, Hull's new town is post 1950's this is not planning or expansion Hull was the "North East Coastal Town" heavily bombed by the Luftwaffe, what remained was flatten by the council in an attempted to redesign the town on grand scale.... which never happened. The lost of the fishing industry in the 1970's the poor council, road & rail network normally means there are better opportunity's else where for people who what to get on in life so Hull remains a small town with undeveloped WW2 bomb site & surrounded by council housing....
Billy, there’s always gonna be rough parts of towns and cities. I fresh perspective would be the damage being done by these county line gangs to the villages they frequent. There’s whole villages that have been turned upside down cos of the crack like

Alright Billy, it's your old mate from Chiang mai, in spicy bar, I'm from Hull and have lived on coltman street, orchard park and even Bransholme where I am now, it's a bit different to northern Thailand, it has calmed down heaps over the years, used to be really bad, hope you are well bud.
Do you know what Billy. I've been watching your videos for some time now. I know I've far from watched them all. But I've not seen you address the desperation of men who've had to sell their bodies. Your videos bring back old memories for me and make me appreciate all I've escaped.

I live in Sheffield and regularly visit Hull, I park up under the Humber bridge, Barton upon Humber side and walk across the bridge then along the estuary shore into Hull marina, then across the walkway into the town centre, sometimes onto Pearson Park. Always busy, bustling, vibrant, steeped in history, fantastic place, always have fish n chips as well. I normally see one person laid out on the floor on spice. One. Sheffield? The town centre, especially Fargate and High street awash with beggars, spice addicts, druggies, riff raff everywhere, a total ghetto. Give me Hull anyday 👍

Try coming up to glad for a few days and you'll see things you've never seen believe me this is nothing mate I'm Scottish back in Scotland Glasgow and I've stayed in England for 27 years a Nd I know we're the rough ov the roughest is and its nit hull ffs get s grip hull that's posh to the housing scheme in Glasgow FFS get a grip😂😂
@@StephenMcinally-gr2ucit’s not a competition mate. I’m Liverpool born and bred, I’m living in Glasgow right now. Yeah it’s rough, but it’s no worse than the average English city. Glasgow was worse maybe 20 years ago but not anymore. Even Liverpool is worse than Glasgow id say. I’ve also lived in Birmingham. Now that is ROUGH
Sad world we’re living in hope that girl gets a break in life ❤
Broken 💔 Britain Billy, I don't know if it's fixable now. ✌️. Good un mate.
Too late things never get better only worse, gone to far. Should of all ways keep the country original, its a lak of strength and power no discipline and soft laws...rip uk
English people not standing up for themselves and pandering to the ethnic minorities - Ok that’s the government and if we did stand up we are called ray cist
Didn't know Hull was like this thanks Billy, it was a different place back in the day!
Great content bill keep up the good work fella, all the best from sunny glasgow 👍.
That’s the problem, someone like that having 10 kids. What a joke
😂😂
It’s wrong isn’t it? Us taxpayers paying for the likes of him why? My family all work & work a minimum of 12/16 hours a day!
Sperm donor, i wonder, how many he's in contact with, and deffo how many he F,ing pays for, I bet he either don't see them or he's scrounging Cider money and drugs money off them, also i wonder how many of them have followed super dad in having a shit load of kids.
how can you reasonably expect people who are deprived to make good life decisions?
He was silly and forgot to wrap his willy 😂
That poor girl who was selling herself. My heart went out to her. Hope her life improves. ❤. The old part of Hull looks interesting, some history there. xx
You're into social history, like myself miss muffet, Hull is a very interesting place, i ain't been there in a long time, but it was a great fishing place, and it was a bit like Morecambe, busy sea port, now it's broken like the rest of Britain, 💔 x.
@@MichaelParkinson-wz1nh only time I’ve been to Hull was for a ferry crossing over to the Netherlands. That was way back in the 1990s. xx
@@missmuffet3874 it was probably back in the 90s when I went there and it was actually an alright place, maybe not anymore since they got rid of the fishing fleet, kinda like Morecambe, but like i always say most of the time it's not the place, it's the ppl, like Lancaster a beautiful place, but some awful people who live there. 💯.
You think her story is bad , come on man , Hull's been like this since the 70s , Thousands like this girl have never got out of it , graveyards are full of them ......This city was finished a long long time ago 😮
The reason for all of these problems is one thing and one thing only ...drugs ... Nothing good comes of them ...
There are reasons before drugs. They are a part of a wider problem.
And poverty alcohol
I agree to a certain extent, i remember growing up in the 70s and the struggle's my parents went through and going on about, Thatcher ruining Britain and all the things she put a stop to, but I also remember when heroin hit big time in the nineties, yeah it was already around, but more underground, i started using heroin in the early nineties, and there was probably 50 addicts in my whole area, now there's probably thousands, but now it's not just heroin, it's cocaine, and freebase, i know ppl call it crack, but it isn't, but u also get ppl addicted to painkillers and other opiates, sleeping pills, and there seems to be a lot more drinkers, ppl can't afford to drink in their local pub anymore, it's cheaper to get these cheap cans of shit u could probably use instead of petrol 😆, but it's not a joke really, ✌️😎.
And betting shops….and licker stores..and vape shops..
@@griswald7156 these are all secondary like drugs. It goes deeper than that. Look at the times.
I stumbled upon one of Billie's podcast and watched it now they are all I watch, Billie seems a sound sound lad nothing but respect
💙🙏🙌
good insight very interesting cheers Billy much love
Proverbs 10:17 Whoever heeds discipline shows the way to life, but whoever ignores correction leads others astray.
I remember going to Hull as a 14 year old in 1979 on a British Rail Mystery Trip, they were brilliant, cheap as chips, once went all the way to Southampton from up in North Lancashire, Morecambe. Anyway, it was a lovely city back then before Thatcher had decimated Britain’s heavy industries and coal. I’ll bet none in Hull ever imagined in their worst nightmares that it would end up like it has!☹️
Those BR mystery trips sounded great. Why can’t we have those days back again? 😢
@@missmuffet3874 Exactly my thoughts. 🤣. That was the first one I was allowed off on my own to a big city. My parents got off at Bridlington, God knows why, we went there every year in the caravan!🤔😬🤣British Rail were great, they had a Europe wide ticket for young people. I remember talking to an American when all the talk of privatisation was going on, he was telling me how our train fares would go down, just like in America. Yeah right!☹️😩 Really🤣
Mat,was that on the £1.00 go any where tickets if you were under the age of 14?
Me and my friends did them,went the length and breadth of the UK,good days!
The TORYS NEW IT WILL END UP LIKE THIS
@@srtoothpickit’s what they wanted isn’t it? Just all about feathering their own nests. They are beyond disgusting and have no morals or ethics whatsoever.
Love these videos I'm in Luton it to is a shit hole, good to see other areas and how people live and we ain't the only area going through it cheers mate
Good to show the reality to these estates in Britain 🇬🇧
I enjoyed going back to Hull Billy - felt for the girl there. That's tough - no support network. I hiked from the South of the Humber into Hull with my twin brother Paul in 2015 (attended a funeral in Barton). We knew it was rough - dossed down in the back of the King William, which was empty. As we were prepping some guy came in to pick up a stash-we piled some tables up against the wooden gates and blocked the entry. Sleeping on top of the remaining tables we had a sound sleep. My memories of the city - felt like you had to watch your back in some districts we passed through - met some decent guys in the center though - not all bad. Mark
Feel like you might be similar to me polite and humble N nothing to prove but feel I can tell some people have probably taken your kindness for a joke N then youve probably had to destroy them..
Just subscribed as you genuinely seem like a good man 👊 brother thank you keep doing what you're doing 👍❤️💯
I worked 10 months in the Daggerbank converterstation between Hull and Beverly and travelled from the city center to A10 everyday. So we went trough the areas north of the city and I also walked alot around hull and saw some misfortunate destinys. But still i Loved that charming small city and its ups and downs.
Turkish barbers everywhere. I counted 5 of them on one road the other day when I was walking through the rough end of my town.
But other businesses can’t survive, that tells you these barbers, chippies, nail places etc are all money laundering , they only take cash.. but the corrupt politicians aren’t bothered.
yeah they work with government connections so what?
Washing up money shops
Money Laundering
what they said
My 91 yo neighbour in a small country town in south east Queensland Australia grew up in Hull and lived in Charles Street with her 4 children
Im from dingle but moved to ull...when i was 19....44 years ago...just about nailed it ...billy ..like most towns ..in uk...lot of out of work druggies ..grafting and getting by...same story a differant day mate ..great podcasts fella....
dingle in Ireland?
I was in Hull for a few days about 30 years ago and it reminded me of a smaller version of Liverpool.. the houses and flats and estates all looked very similar and pubs as well
Both port towns
Why do we pay council tax when nothing is done in our areas... It's disgusting how this country has fell so far
Isn`t Hull labour run ?
@@user-ti3tq6kz9q Lib dem now but mostly Labour run. Orchard Park seems peaceful at that point but when i agree up you did not walk around there at night let alone daytime.
Because are council is funding wars that’s why every where is a shit hole
The boys need spending money…
Whats any council supposed to do when people have no self respect?
God bless that girl at the start proper heartbreaking 💔
I dread to think what places like Hull, and other cities in the north will look like in 50 years.
The thought terrifies me.
Bristol is the worst and that's not in the North
@@garyrigby21 so why are Londoners moving to Bristol? Property is expensive in Bristol…
Compered to Birmingham, Manchester and Bradford. Hull looks ok.
The centre is nice. The rest of the city less so. It`s been one of the poorest cities in the country for decades now, but it is better than it was. Definitely a more interesting city than most places of its size too.
These are the places I was born and raised… born Hessle road, lived on Inglemire lane, Orchard Park thorps, Gypsiville and hung around all areas in between and around. I took my kids and left, and would never look back or go back.
Aye well they still fry in dripping through Hull. Lot of family there, rough in parts yes you do need to watch your back sometimes. Least you went on a sunny day. Next time go on or around the first week of October for the massive fair not far from the flats at the beginning of the vlog your kids when they are older will love it.
enjoyed this one billy , bck in the days when life was shit. I can relate but firing on all cylinders now . stay safe lad .
Love the way you talk to people suffering with addictions bill..you weren't sharing your fish n chips with no one there lol..it'll be a sad day if you ever stop making content 💚✌🏻
Same state up and down the country Billy,the only thing that changes are the accents.heart breaks for the young girl tash
This is heartbreaking lord I pray for her ❤🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Im a londoner born and raised..my mother was from hull she was proud of her roots..the orchard park estate was and still is were a lot of my relatives are living..some i have have never met- used 2 VISIT wen was young...loved orchard park estate- dont KNOW WHAT it's like now- my nana rose price had 11 kids all GOOD people my uncles and aunts- my mum has passed AWAY now bless her- good hard working woman- she met my DAD while he was working on the humber bridge- we lived london- britain has been forgotten the working classes are being made 2 look bad and ignorant and poor - the indigenous people of England are totally being forgotten- and made 2 look neanderthal like- and oversea PEOPLE ARE being told crap about working class people- been stitch up-
Everyone from Hull is proud of their roots I just wonder why 😂
Love it when u do these videos,longer ones. Hull looks classic English, from my yank perspective. I hear from a lot of folks Dover is interesting place,some real characters.
@@BillyJ-vi8df Dover is fabulous…ive been there so many times…so much to see and do in the area….fly in buy a tent and stay at hawthorn farm in the summer…
In my home city Billy the area Cavill place Coltman street used to be such a great place to live but lack of money and corrupt councillors not regenerating the area plus the influx of Romians throwing shit all over like every council area in the North Billy same as Liverpool North and South divide but us northerners are the most friendliest people I love living in Hull great video Billy be safe and take care ❤👍
Coltman street used to be a very upmarket st at one time, some of the houses were owned by trawler owners and skippers, I wonder if wheeler is still down there! Or Lennox
As I child I used to walk from my grandparents house on Beaufort Close to the shops on walker / adelaide st, aged 8 or whatever I thought it was rough as fcuk, other grandparents live in 1980's council house on Constable street which was much nicer. However until I was an adult I never understood there where streets knocked down to make these new council schemes, I lived in east hull off Holderness road as child...everywhere in Hull appears to look worse year in year
"I've got no friends" Where are you staying tonight? "My friends house" 🤔
Class bro class😅😂
I think she mean't drug associate.
'Friend'= pimp.
Ffs man it’s just a saying she’s not gonna say associate is she go on have a laugh at someone’s life when this country turns to pure shit your gonna know what hardship is
@@stacycooper8689 Punctuation? 😂😂
That guy with ten kids!!
There's definitely a problem with senseless breeding in this country - the guy had too much benefits time on his hands.
You judged a man on what?
Yes that's true
Does he didn't know about condoms??
Grew up on orchard all my life I've got 3 kids who have been brought up great you get good and bad in all walks of life not just council estates in fact you will find the most down to earth people on (council estates) half of the people who live round here work and provide and have a laugh and a joke it's class wouldn't change it at all love it everyone knows eachother you get good and bad days but that's life same as anywhere else ❤️💙💯👍
Quite a few of the comments say it’s the fault of the councils but councils have been deprived of a huge chunk of their money since 2010 but are still expected to deliver the same services. I’m from Newcastle but live in Hull. It’s got really nice areas, bags of potential and lovely people but it needs jobs and money.
great video billy that poor lass my heart goes out to her hope she can sort her self out been on the hard stuff my self and if it was not for the fact i chose not to be the same man as my dad i would have never got off it been around very naughty villains all my life as my dad was a fucker he's 68 now ages chills you has the life I had seems like me and my mum have been to every prison in the uk visiting it was shit man but I've been no saint my self but never been to prison i think if i had have i would have been in and out just like me dad you seem a top bloke pal keep it up billy nuff love from Sheffield.
10 kids ffs 🤦 no wonder he’s sitting on a bench in his own 😂 great work Bill take care mate 💪👍
Wow I'm 29 I hope she gets in a good place sad that ❤
Loving your approach Bill la 👍
I'm all for being polite, but how has he got 10 kids. And hes sat on a bench like a grandad but hes 41. People will moan about immigrants.
for someone who does a lot of "pondering life" hes certainly been a busy boy
I want to know we’re all money is coming from .
He was lying about not been an addict also
You say that at the end like people have no right to complain about immigrants 🤡
This is what needs to change, men should be forced to work and pay for the kids they are banging out all over the place! There are working families out there having to decide if they can afford a second child and people on benefits have massive families! He would never have had ten kids if he'd personally been forced to work and pay for them. What if those ten kids are being raised to believe benefits is best too? If they even have half the kids he has between them that's still 50 future benefit claimants from one family! They breed like stray cats because they are sat around doing nothing. There's plenty of unskilled work out there.
Fantastic content
Sunak's "real" Britain, the one the Tories denies exists.....excellent vid fella...subbed !
Isn`t Hull labour run ?
@@user-ti3tq6kz9q Not sure what your point is here? The Tories run the Country, and Hull is in England.
Since Ur up Yorkshire maybe try do Doncaster next hexthorpe edlington balby you'll see some sights
God bless you, Tash.
Great video .. from WESTERN AUSTRALIA
I thought that fella on the trike was KR couriers for a minute and it was a word from the sponsor ...
I was born and bred on orchard park, always stick to your roots ❤ stay humble
Loving the content ❤
Living in London in 97/98 I worked for Moss pharmacy out of Feltham Head Office when they were the first to role out needle exchanges in pharmacies. I had to work on the Orchard Park Estate evaluating security of staff and customers in these exchanges. Thought Page Moss and Dovecote was bad but this place left them standing.
Im 74 and i still work and when i see that lazy deadbeat it makes me cringe 😖
be careful making a virtue out of your slavery in public
Do bear in mind that (especially in areas of high unemploument), anyone who works beyond retirement age is effectively denying that position to a young person who may be eager to contribute to society by working
@@patrickmackey1566 what jobs are actually productive?
Interesting video Bill , visited Hull in 1984,the city seemed to be buzzing although it had lost alot of its traditional industry, looks hollowed out now, shame!
Politicians have no interest in fixing this,to a degree they created it!
Thatcher's Britain👍
@@martinvegas1327 Thatcher,Tony B liar,it matters not, it's their club and we are not in it!
@@boyfromblackstuff7859 Everywhere's shutting down and nothing is being built to replace it all, in the South it's a different story!
@@martinvegas1327third attempt to reply Martin,"they" obviously don't like the truth.
This mess we find ourselves in is the responsibility of the political class ,who have deliberately run this country right into the ground since May 1945.
They are not running this country, they are beholden to outside influencers and powers, they are not guilty of gross incompetence and ineptitude, they know exactly what they are doing!
@@martinvegas1327Fourth attempt to reply Martin, the only people that are in it together are the political class they know what they are doing and its deliberate.
Its the high rise flats in Hull where its mad, Great Thornton Street and Valiant Drive get the most police call outs. A couple of months back they brought a sniffer dog into the block and took it on all the floors. 7 people where arrested just from sniffing at their doors and they gathered intelligence on numerous other properties.
"Ten kids wow". "How do you support them?".. My taxes is how mate
There you go, and I bet his kids will have another brood as big too !
Don’t work then! Yous all work to pay for stupid stuff get a fucking life mate! It’s the people sitting on fortunes you wanna be mad at
Aww bless her 😢 broke my heart hearing what she has to go through. Ending up back on drugs as well after being 8 years clean is heart breaking
Go to Blackpool, There’s 2 areas across the road from each other, Claremont which is behind the train station and Brunswick area behind Sainsburys, both areas located in the centre of Blackpool. Do Blackpool town centre too. All a few minutes walk from each other
I live not far feom hull billy wud of been great to bump into you, sad is that seeing tasha in a state but shes not on her own theres plenty same as her in hull that dont get help aswell as the homeless while several hotels around town have housed immigrants,just doesnt seem right to me. I like Hull though its our go to place for everything ,maybe rough but iv always felt safe there.
Sasha was filmed on Coltman Street which was once a very posh place to live, Hull's old town is pre 1950's, Hull's new town is post 1950's this is not planning or expansion Hull was the "North East Coastal Town" heavily bombed by the Luftwaffe, what remained was flatten by the council in an attempted to redesign the town on grand scale.... which never happened. The lost of the fishing industry in the 1970's the poor council, road & rail network normally means there are better opportunity's else where for people who what to get on in life so Hull remains a small town with undeveloped WW2 bomb site & surrounded by council housing....
Keep doing these types of videos Billy! Love them get yourself to Leeds, Birmingham, London
London? No fucker will talk to him , full of rude bastards 😂.
Billy, there’s always gonna be rough parts of towns and cities.
I fresh perspective would be the damage being done by these county line gangs to the villages they frequent.
There’s whole villages that have been turned upside down cos of the crack like
Enjoyed that vi su I subbed,
Im from hull bill , did u live here 25 year ago? The estates got flooded with brown in the 90s and absolutely destroyed hundreds of lives , never to be the same again

Alright Billy, it's your old mate from Chiang mai, in spicy bar, I'm from Hull and have lived on coltman street, orchard park and even Bransholme where I am now, it's a bit different to northern Thailand, it has calmed down heaps over the years, used to be really bad, hope you are well bud.
Hope you’re well Ste it’s been a while brother 💙
can't believe you didn't give that pigeon a chip billy. thought you were a good guy.
God love this girl heartbreaking ❤
Do you know what Billy. I've been watching your videos for some time now. I know I've far from watched them all. But I've not seen you address the desperation of men who've had to sell their bodies.
Your videos bring back old memories for me and make me appreciate all I've escaped.
To be honest I’ve never came across anyone like that who’s had the courage to talk about it.
@@theallornothingpodcastwith4442 Can't say I'm surprised. What a horrible way to have to live. Only the very brave would come forward.

I live over in cleethorpes and drugs are bad here now with homelessness rocketing, very sad for everyone we are an ex fishing town that the council won't let you forget however we import all our fish from Indonesia, we need to start manufacturing things and selling them to the rest of the world. Bless the people of hull, must be getting worse for them too ❤
I live in Sheffield and regularly visit Hull, I park up under the Humber bridge, Barton upon Humber side and walk across the bridge then along the estuary shore into Hull marina, then across the walkway into the town centre, sometimes onto Pearson Park. Always busy, bustling, vibrant, steeped in history, fantastic place, always have fish n chips as well. I normally see one person laid out on the floor on spice. One. Sheffield? The town centre, especially Fargate and High street awash with beggars, spice addicts, druggies, riff raff everywhere, a total ghetto. Give me Hull anyday 👍
Sounds like a great walk Ive always wanted to visit the estuary. How long would it take ?
@@ponemark a good three hours, it's a long walk, I always stop under the bridge on the benches for tea n biccys 👍
