Threatened with Violence in 'Tent Town' the UK's Most Deprived Region
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 26 апр 2024
- I headed to the UK's Poorest County, Cornwall. Specifically Camborne the poorest town in Cornwall, during the unprecedented cost of living crisis of 2024, what I found seriously shocked me! When you think of Cornwall in the South West of the England, beautiful beaches with golden sand and blue seas come to mind. However what the tourists don't see, is that the county of Cornwall for a long time has been the most deprived and poverty stricken area of the UK. With some of the highest rates of Homelessness, Unemployment and Poverty levels to be found not only in the UK but in Europe also, Cornwall was one of only four areas within the UK that qualified for Poverty grants from the EU to assist with the community, however since Brexit these payments have stopped leaving the councils and other local authorities seriously under funded and unprepared to deal with the desperate fall out from this. I headed to the streets of Camborne to get an idea of the real situation on the streets, what I found truly shocked me... Homeless communities living in makeshift tent camps around the town, unprecedented levels of Crime and unemployment, Piles of Rubbish on the streets, Harrowing stories of Crime and violence from the locals living on the streets during Street Interviews. This is the Cornwall that the Tourists Don't See... Real Life for the residents of one of the UK's Poorest Towns.

Truly sad scenes in Camborne, hopefully the video can shine a light on the situation on going there. Sharing and Liking the video helps tremendously! Thanks for watching guys 🙏
Wow😮 I thought the region was a super touristy area with good employment etc!!
@@jimbanda thanks for the comment! The employment is mostly seasonal May-September. And transport links from the inner areas of Cornwall to the seaside resorts is very difficult even when people do find employment. Then there is the serious problem with housing in Cornwall. That's just some of what I see anyway 👍
@@JoefishJ So sad... 👍✌️
Meanwhile thousands every week coming here to be housed in the hotels? 300 houses built in my town all been allocated to illegal immigrates
@@jimbanda Cornwall always has had a seasonal economy, the last time I think it could truly be said that there was good employment in Cornwall was probably the 1970s. It was the closure of the tin mines that really damaged the local economy of several towns during the 1980s in a similar way to what happened with the Coal Mine in Wales and the North. There has never been much industry in Cornwall. Its a part of the country which has low wages and a high cost of living.
We've had the biggest drop in living standards EVER. Britain is still a wealthy country, the wealth has just shifted to the top of society. No plans to change this.
Yes the is but it won't happen with the next Liebour Government
@@78yestor93 not convinced about Labour either but it's a two horse race.
@@mrsbendychicken a 2 horse race with the same owner!
They meant it during the lockdown. How can you stop an entire economy and not expect consequences. Madness from the "top"
"You will own nothing"
This is because UK can't loot other countries any more😂
The looting business is down so as the whole country is down😂
Never thought i would see this in Cornwall. I do believe the UK has passed the point of no return.The decline is literally all over the Country now.
The EU used to aid this area. Since Brexit that aid has obviously stopped, but not been replaced. So much for Brexit "not making any difference" to living standards, aid to poor areas etc.
Exactly the UK really shot ourselves in the foot leaving the eu
Yes the UK is done
What makes my blood boil is that over 8 million a day is spent on illegal foreigners, that are homed , fed , given money and more. How much would this money help places like this ?. There is 317 councils, this means each council could have £8 million a year to sort their problems out! It is now time to look where our priorities lie and the people of Great Britain 🇬🇧.
🤡. Shouldn’t have voted Brexit. It’s lost EU funding. It’s deprived. Lack of opportunities. 🤡
That's part of the plan. Your government signed up for this. You're being replaced and British culture will vanish.
So what you are saying is absolute nonsense then. Ok mate
@@tezzingtonsir28 fact is fact ! This country doesn’t need any more illegal criminals. Time to look after our own not others
@@tezzingtonsir28 these right whingers always talk 💩.
Shocking how the govt. can find the money to feed and house illegal immigrants and phoney asylum seekers yet can't help desperate English people.
They can do both but they choose not to.
💯
depopulation agenda
The government do not find the money it is lent to them ,And paid back by taxation, The international Banker's want mass immigration to stop the indigenous people raising up, The monarchy and the fake government play along ,for it is a masonic game ,who lies to the people longest get the titles
The government want rid of desperate English people.
I am ashamed of a country that was Great Britain and my 2 great grandads perished in their 20s from being gassed in WW1, then my grandfathers and father served in WW2 for ###### what. The obscene wealth of some and this. I hate govts
Thanks for sharing that information. I wonder what they would think of the UK now. Hopefully the video can shine a light on the plight of the people. Thanks for watching and the comment 🙏👍
No such thing as 'obscene' wealth - just wealth. But there is something obscene and ugly about poverty - especially when it is so on display in the streets. This is a respect issue: some people have lost respect for themselves and don't care anymore.
@@jaksongpg I completely agree
Shouldn’t have voted Brexit then, chum.
@@darumagenki6271 nothin to do with brexit, mucker.
Everywhere in England is like this now..rubbish Everywhere, ruined towns and cities, boarded up buildings and many many people who have lost all hope.
I can't disagree with that unfortunately. Thanks for watching hopefully the videos shine a light on the situation for the people. Please share the video with any like minded people you know 🙏👍
"Kalergi plan" !!
We have 'stay home to save lives' to thank 4 this
Sadly it's Very true
Where I live we some boarded up buildings they used to be open for years now they've just been boarded up.Most of the times it's not the buildings that you do see it's the buildings that you don't see that have been left to rot
I went on a holiday to Cornwall last year. We refused to use an AirB&B and used a hotel instead. AirB&B has been a disaster as far as locals are concerned and has heaped immeasurable pressure on what was already a distressed housing market.
Very responsible and 100% correct in what you're saying! Thanks for the comment and for watching 🙏😂
@@JoefishJ My pleasure 🙏
Either way Cornwall = dump@@TheGamesEmporium
@@shunsloman9313yeah ok mate that's why everyone comes here
🤣👍🤡
@@shunsloman9313 the area certainly needs help!
Governments these days seem to have forgotten 'generosity begins at home'! Top video as always Joe!!👍
Totally agree 💯
Thanks for the comment and kind words
Mate they letting in 750,000 people each year with visas.....
It's an intentional operation to destroy the UK and the west .........
This is my hometown for 4/5 years of my life; it's heart wrenching man. I live in Saltash now after two years of sofa surfing, homelessness and camping in the woods.
Sorry to hear that! Really sad scenes in Camborne. I hope the people get the help they need 🙏
It's the garbage that gets me. Poverty should be no excuse for not using a bin and why aren't the councils cleaning it up? Great reporting as usual Joe. Thank you.
It’s the desperate homeless people that gets me.
councils job the same in stoke and anywhere else rubbish and dust heads
Councils got no cash for cleaning,they prefer to give it away to foreigners.
Hey 👋 thanks for the kind words! I have no idea, the general feeling from the locals that I got was they've totally given up hope in their Council.
@JoefishJ but why is it the council that has to help always... where is the self responsibility question in this? I know some need help but your story here is very one sided and does not give the full story of why these people are in the situations they are in, I don't know why as you did not cover it. There is a guy in the states that is covering deprived areas and doing a really good job of showing the whys as well as the situation... you could learn a few things. I mean this in honest coukd be better not knocking your attempt to show what's happening...
It's terrible here, it's the drug dealers and drug users that trash everywhere and since the COVID everything has changed drastically. The poor and working class being pushed to one side, struggling to pay bills whilst the rest of Cornwall is being poshified (if that's even a word) I'm living amongst child abusing drug dealers and users, it is beyond horrible. Myself and my daughter haven't left our home in over two years due to threats of murder and constantly being abused, the police would rather victim shame and blame than actually help. The streets are quickly resembling the streets of Philadelphia (Kensington Avenue) here. All the rich are here buying their second homes that locals could only dream of living in/owning but the extreme low wage here doesn't permit such luxuries and don't get me started on the high taxes 😞 Thanks for sharing making more people aware of this beautiful place that's gone down the pan drastically
I went on holiday to Cornwall in about 1998 and I never realised any of this about Cornwall back then. I’d always thought it was quite posh but maybe I wasn’t really taking proper notice of things. And of course back then property will have been far more affordable for locals. Hopefully once the Tory government are out more will be done because of left to them the affordable housing crisis will never be solved since they don’t want it solved. A new mass council housing programme should be launched to provide social housing for people, these days builders only ever seem to build mansions, they ignore the needs of those on lower incomes.
Really sad scenes! Thanks for watching. Hopefully the video shines a light on the situation.
@@cultfiction3865 I seriously doubt there will be any positive change for the poor and downtrodden if Starmer's Labour gets elected.
@terrapyn99. I’m not expecting any miracles but they would be a huge improvement over the selfservatives. Starmer has already committed to building on parts of the green belt and silencing nimby’s for the greater cause. The tories have been just the same in the past 13 years as they always have been. All for the rich and wealthy and predators of the poor and disabled. Those that support them do so because they are on the wealthy side of life and it agrees with their pockets but for us authentic working class, they don’t have to count our labour votes, they just put them straight on the weigher. Most people in these northern towns would sooner commit suicide that ever vote Tory
Yes, I'm sure the tories would be right on that as soon as they were back in government
Much respect Joe, your content continues to tell it like it is.
Second homes, property prices, business rates, no more EU subsidies, no new affordable housing, no fault evictions, bankrupt local councils causing social service cuts, the decline of local industries, benefit cuts. They were all like slow bullets,: everyone saw disaster coming, no one did anything.
Cornwall is an unusual case as a county because, unlike more urbanised county areas, it has very low immigration stats. So this just goes to show how successive Tory governments have treated their own people, in mostly conservative constituencies.
Some people have made fortunes over the last decade, mostly at the expense of the most vunerable and working people, then they remove the wealth from circulation, pay as little tax as possible and claim non dom status.
There is no 'trickle down effect' with wealth and productivity and your videos are really showing this clearly.
Keep it up mate,
Thanks very much for the kind words. I just hope the videos shine a light on the reality of life for so many people that unfortunately is increasing every day. Please share with any like minded people to help spread the word. Thanks again 👍🙏
@@JoefishJ My pleasure mate. Your content stands out from people like Backpacker B and Mr Bald because of the compassion you show for people on the streets and your empathy with their plight.

I’m from generation of being Cornish and it’s so sad that they are building loads of houses but none for the indigenous people 🤬🤬🤬🤬
So sad!!! That along with Air BnB is killing the local housing market for the Cornish people. Hopefully the video will shine a light on the situation. Please share with any like minded folk you know 🙏👍
I'm afraid other nationals from Eastern Europe put us to shame and worked hard. The most reliable, trustworthy tenants were Polish people who do not choose to live like tramps. You should see the state of neglect and mess caused by some lazy tenants, utterly minging!
What is the excuse for wanton vandalism, neglect and despoiling of the environment. It costs nothing to care enough to litter pick, to not waste money on booze and drugs. I think these wasters contribute zero to society and expect to be rewarded. The truth is the truth.
Same everywhere in the W Country, esp. Somerset, all full of bloody Brummies and Black Country ppl
First thing to do- Vote those responsible out and then sentence them to forced labour
Based.
Who voted for Brexit? They should be given the same for enabling it
It’s both sides mate. Uniparty since 92
What about the people who voted to join the common market in the first place? Who voted for Tony ‘open borders’ Blair ? Who imported all this heroin into the country? Everyone’s going to be doing forced labour and no one will be paying taxes so the guards at your forced labour camp will have to work for free which they won’t want to do, so they will call it ‘forced labour’ … Your forced labour idea is about as helpful as your childish brexit obsession..
Word.
Im sorry but being down on your luck is one thing and its horrible but making the place a total dump on top of it is what always happens everything graffitied crap all over the place then everyone moans what a tip is is . who made it a tip ?
On top of that we have useless councils that don't bother to remove graffiti or clean rubbish and are happy to let the places go to wrack and ruin as long as the council tax is coming in .
Does seem to be a pattern on my travels around the UK. Thanks for watching. Please share with any like minded people you may know 👍
The migrants have fucked everything up
Drink/drugs are the issue not housing or benefits & certainly not brexit. I worked in the homeless sector for decades & it's a far more complicated issue than lack of money. Even given a council flat, they mostly got evicted & made their neighbours lives a misery. Really enjoyed your video though, be careful out there lad.
Thanks for watching and the comment. I hope the video shines a light on the situation. Thanks for watching 👍🙏
That is truly shocking to have an old person disabled on top of it in a tent your Country is freezing shame on your Government
Its absolutely crazy to think how high up the ladder Britain was in Manufacturing in comparison to the rest of the world.I honestly think that when Britain opted out of Europe that was well and truly the end.I cant ever see it coming back but we need our industries back.
They could reopen the Tin mines, with the price of Tin at the moment it would change the area's economy very quickly. Just a thought?
Britain overtook France, Netherlands and Japan in manufactured exports in 2023.
If you've never been homeless or been a drug addict you just don't understand how the level of acceptance goes down hill real fast and then you get comfortable living in squalor
Coming from an ex crackhead/smackhead drugs come first and all those homeless were users, we have to deal with the addiction first which is near impossible
How degenerate have you gotta be to get addicted to that type of drug tho, even the way you smoke it is degenerate, tooting on a pipe 😂
Don't understand why people just throw rubbish... even the biggest 💩hole looks better when kept clean
Agreed really sad scenes. Thanks for watching!

You could be describing the vast majorities of northern towns and city's. Blackburn is a small city with approx 115,500 but has a total of 64 onion houses, back streets full of rubbish, ghetto areas with no go areas at night, shops closing down on a daily basis, public transport useless, homelessness rampant, streets full of illegal beggars, etc etc etc. What a wonderful country we now have to live in, i think not.
Truly sad scenes. I'll be heading north soon. Thanks for watching and the comment.

Moral of the story….do not give up your council accommodation no matter what. If you do you will regret it for the rest of your life.
Yeah?

@mjh5437. Poor doesn’t have to mean lack of money. A place can be poor for all kinds of reasons. It was voted the second most miserable country in the world recently on a large study and that doesn’t come about because it’s a rich society. Again rich doesn’t have to mean cash. It can simply mean quality of life in general.

Could happen to anyone too who falls on hard times
The interesting thing is Eastern Europe- the Baltic States, Poland and such have gotten past the era of communist stagnation and have had economic revivals and growth in tech, services and manufacturing, while the UK has decayed at an alarming pace. The UK can only hope to be like Eastern Europe.
I totally agree! Thanks for watching

And super clean and safe..very little drug ..begging issues...tough police on streets etc.

@@JoefishJ These are countries who have embraced the European Union and realize strong but fair regulation is good for everyone and advances society and prosperity, that they are all stronger together, than an island by itself.
51% of the land in England is owned by 2000 people or companies, most of the United Kingdom belongs to A monarch and a handful of landed gentry, Britain is owned by a few Bankers and oligarchs,
Open new mines or reopen old mines like they've done with south crofty and rebuild the community, with the price of tin going through the roof now it would bring a lot of money into the area and solve a lot of problems
Totally agree 💯 thanks for watching
In order to turn things around you need to get rid of the MP and all of the counselors, invite the prime minister and housing minister to meet with local people and see for their self what is going on, central government needs to give the housing associations money to rebuild housing urgently, you need to get the young offenders to start cleaning up the rubbish, and cleaning up the catheti thank you for an interesting program...

Hello again Joe, what another great video you have done and so much that you enlighten us within the real world. Don't be too offended by some of these trolls who try to be clever and make derogative remarks and comments. Try not take it personally. People hate what they don't understand. I think your long hair is terrific and you have a wonderful personality which projects and permeates through. Your latest Bristol video was also well presented. A true paradox of the rich and poor. Hygene must be a real problem for the campers in Clifton. They could collect garbage once a week from the people in the area also install a portaloo for extra hygene. I think you are a terrific guy and as I mentioned before if you ever come to investigate Luton I would love to take you for a pint and a meal at Wetherspoons. Warm regards. Peter from Luton UK

Thanks for watching and the comment 👍 please share the video with any like minded people to help spread the video far and wide! 🙏
My parents moved to Camborne from London back in 1973 and I grew up in the town. We left when I was 18 years old in 1984. I think I lived there at the end of the period when the town could be described as relatively affluent. I used to walk through that Church cemetery every day as a short cut on my way to school. Its shocking to see it full homeless people living in tents.
The last time I visited was back in 2003 for my friends wedding, it was in sharp decline even back then and it looks at lot worse now if this video is anything to go by. Its sad to see it like this. I am glad I don't live there anymore. In fact I am glad I left the county, the standard of living in Hampshire is much better, its more friendly and less insular. I miss the coast and the pasties though.
I wouldn't mind visiting again sometime when I retire, I might even show my wife my old home town and visit Camborne one last time just for a trip down memory lane. That will be in about 8 years from now, hopefully the Town will be in better shape by then.
I've said it before many times but there will be no revival for Camborne and Redruth until they embrace their history which lives on in the hearts and minds of the people living in the area. If they turned both towns into a living museum of mining heritage and culture, people would flock from all over the world to see it and to find out about the incredible importance of these two old Cornish towns in the history of the industrial revolution, which went on to change the world.
You can't make Camborne and Redruth what they are not. They cannot and never will transform into the future. If both towns became an iconic centre of life as it was in the latter part of the 19th century, people dressing in period costume going about their business, working exhibits all over the place, tours, traditional old shops from the period, the future of both towns would be secured for generations to come.
Same over in Falmouth. Falmouth will never be regenerated if the sole focus remains on land based activities. Falmouth's future regeneration can only come from the sea. Again, if the town was turned into a mock up of traditional sailing based industries, with sailing competitions, open air workshops, traditional ship building academies etc it would do wonders for the town and again visitors from all over the world would flock to the town to partake in it's history in the making. Instead of which all of the water front land that could have been used to help regenerate the town's future all got sold off to private development companies to build luxury holiday homes along the waterfront. Absolute madness.
You cannot force towns to live in the future when their entire foundation has been built on the past. If you suddenly change the direction of a town and make it into something it is not little wonder when the plan backfires everything falls into disrepair and the towns in question lose their focus, their reason for existing. But will anyone listen? No. I've been beating this drum for almost 40 years and my words of advice fall on deaf ears where the extremely financially corrupt Cornwall Council is concerned and therein lies the problem.
Thanks for your comment! It certainly was a shock for a lot of people. I think they should reopen the Tin mines, with the price of Tin currently it would pay for itself and give the community identity again?
@@JoefishJ The mines are all flooded, it would be a mammoth task now to reopen many of the mines.

A good swipe at Rishi Sunak's England. I get the impression that Cornwall has lost its identity, being nothing more than a depressed English region. It originally had its own language and culture. Thanks for uploading.

It's truly extremely sad, Joe, to see our dear country falling into pieces...! It's not just about Camborne & the rest of Cornwall, but the whole country!! I guess that can only get better, as sadly it has already reached rock bottom!!
Cornwall, and in particular Camborne & Redruth was receiving hundreds of millions in support from the EU until its Tory MP and representative George Eustace who had been campaigning for Brexit, succeeded in having all payments stopped.
The result of his success is devastating.
14 years of austerity, mismanagement, incompetence, negligence, corruption, HS2 chaos, Lizz Truss's disastrous mini budget, millions of pounds wasted on the Rwanda gimmick, sewage in our rivers and coastal waters, unaffordable gas and electricity, young people unable to afford a mortgage, a disgraceful national lack of decent rentable affordable accommodation, NHS on the brink of collapse, people pulling their teeth with pliars because they can't find a NHS dentist, the highest taxation since the 1940s, biggest drop in living standards since 1950s, no law and order, the gap between the rich and poor widening, and a disastrous Brexit under the vile tories has destroyed Britain.
The tories including the Thatcher years have been asset stripping Britain for the benefit of the rich and powerful elite.
The tories should never be allowed to govern ever again.
You need to realise tories and Labour are 2 sides of the same coin
Absolutely agree, vote them out! 14 years of total incompetence
I work for one of the largest housing associations in the country....I can tell you exactly why this lady and her mum can't access social housing. Well......the folks in the hotels have to go somewhere.....just sayin! 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

Cash for horrible face tattoos and mobiles though, disrespecting the dead camping in a graveyard, is not the fault of immigrants, if these sorts were given room in hotel more than likely thrown out in a day, more than likely thrown out of the homes they had for nuisance and threatening behaviour, that must not be happening in the largest housing associations in the country.
Thank you for sharing this! Im from cornwall, lived here my whole life.
Its incrediblely important that people dont forget about this side of cornwall.
We have our beautiful spots that the tourists love and flood in each year and its these places are never seen, appreciated and supported.
So much money comes in to cornwall via holiday makers and second homers but non of it goes to actually supporting the people that live here year round.
The gov and local councils need to step up and take responsibly and ownership of their actions and choices that continue to perpetuate this tourment of the homeless and the less fortunate.
Thanks for sharing, sadly its happening all over the uk 🇬🇧 it will get worse 😢
Sadly seems to be the case. Thanks for watching 👍
As you say some of these empty buildings could be used to home the homeless, council need to clean up the street s.
There's enough empty buildings to more than solve the problem... Thanks for watching 🙏
Please share with any like minded people you know. Help get the video out to as many people as possible 🙏 thanks again
They are British so there's no Government funding unlike for the boat people..
Poverty is never an excuse for dumping on your own doorstep.
While I agree in principle. In practice if you don't have the money to pay to tip then thTs whT people do.
My council charge £35 to take a bulky item unless you are on benefits. No one has £35 extra. We don't all have a van!
If you cant afford council tax you arent entitled to take rubbish to a tip.Its crazy
Council never make it easy to get rid but yes your right i got a thing about litter picking
It’s not just Cornwall. It’s. most of our beautiful.
Thank you so much tories for all you’ve done for this country. Give yourselves a Pat on the back.
Always the people that suffer regardless. Thanks for watching and the comment
Explain please, yes tories have been in power but how would any other party have been different? We are still spending more than we make economically in the country..?
When we were in the eu we were paying a tenner to their poor fund then getting a fiver back. Now we've cut out the middle man so that whole tenner shud be going to places like Calbourne. Truro's even worse btw.
Where's it all going is the question. Thanks for watching and the comment really appreciate it 👍
We were paying a tenner and getting more than a tenner back in benefits. Now we've saved a tenner but lost the benefits of the EU. But even now there's more than enough money about to help Camborne.
love the content.. just assuming does High Street in UK mean the same as Main Street in the States?
Yes mate! Sorry about that confusion. Thanks for watching and the comment
Yes high street in the Uk means charity shops,barbers shops,betting shops and vape shops and empty shops..and people sleeping on the pavement..and litter everywhere..are main streets dumps as well ?
Well done Joe. First time viewer here. What is happening is so Sad. Appears to be Deliberate.
Why would it be deliberate? What sort of cunning masterstroke is being played out here?
@@chrismanners9091crash real estate pricing, purchase cheap, rebuild and gentrify, build equity, sell high, rinse and repeat. It’s nothing new, fuelled by simple greed and it happens all over the world. On a brighter note, there’s some beautiful buildings in the town.
@@richardweston4493 Such people have more obvious targets than Cambourne.
Joe.. I appreciate your videos! I follow the FishLocker YT Channel, and he is based in Cornwall and he never showed the side of this part of the UK 🇬🇧 that your showing! Thank you 🙏🏻
Possibly because it’s a sea fishing channel and people want to see fishing……. not shit hole towns full of rubbish
Thanks for watching, just filming things as I see it. Glad you enjoy the content 🙏👍
I used to live in Cornwall.
The problem with Cornwall like many other places is the COUNCIL.
The councils have done this, and it's going to get worse.
Bet the local illegal immigrants are not suffering like this.
No they bleady well aren't. They are housed.
ENOCH POWELL WAS correct the USSR respected him
DAMN RIGHT
Russian bot, 118 subscribers and no content? Do me a favour.
Woah your hot😊👀
@@PWMozebro stop writing off reality as bots..... It's truly pathetic.
Turn the TV off mate and face reality
@@TruthAndFreedom. The reality is: no one gets 118 subscribers without posting any content, regardless of their views about Enoch Powell. If you care so much about 'truth' and 'freedom' you should take the time to check the facts and then you wil be free from disinformation. I would add that the USSR respected Stalin too, and he was Europe's greatest mass murderer, so that's hardly a recommendation is it? Your comment doesn't make sense.
By the way, I don't watch TV, I watch Joe Fish content. Obviously.
I live only a few miles from camborne and I had no idea things had become so bad there.. It certainly puts things into perspective. In this village houses are selling for up to three million quid...
I bless and pray for all souls to experience abundance and joy🙏
I know it's very sad, the forgotten people of the UK it seems. Thanks for watching and the comment 👍🙏
Cornwall is seriously DEPRESSING
Last year I spent several months driving around France Spain & Portugal in my campervan. Didnt see anything at all like this. Why is it so prevalant in the UK? IT IS EVERYWHERE !!
It's certainly becoming a more frequent site isn't it! Thanks for watching 🙏
It's because of Brexit..no one will admit it because it would mean the British having to admit to having made a stupid mistake
@@willieodea83 I would have to agree, this might well be another example of the negative impacts of Brexit. But not our own people being out on the street. Also I think most EU countries dont entertain, support or encourage the vermin to stay. They move them along, ending up at the French coast. Then because of Brexit theres little to no cooperation from the French authorities.
People in campervans don't tend to go to the worst places. Outskirts of French cities are often awful, though nothing like as bad as America.
Despite being the 6th most prosperous nation globally, what's evident in Camborne is not an isolated case. Poverty as you found in Camborne is prevalent across all major towns and cities in the UK, presenting a stark reality to that 'rich nation' . Furthermore, Britons face some of the highest taxation on the planet , prompting questions into the allocation of these funds raised? Notably, significant investment in crucial infrastructure like housing is evidently lacking despite the financial resources available.
An entire generation in the UK is growing without optimism or any prospect for the future. It's disheartening to acknowledge, but the United Kingdom is on its last legs -a reality that many haven't come to realise just yet.
Undoubtedly, the Tory government bears significant responsibility for this situation. However, those hopeful that a change in government will swiftly resolve these issues are sadly going to be disappointed. The familiar promises of increased investment in housing, health service and law and order from Labour MPs during their time in power but will undoubtedly fail to yield not one tangible improvement to see with your own eyes. Regrettably, the state of affairs you see now as in this video has reached a point of no return-it's a dire situation.
The solution is straightforward: when politicians or political parties grasp that human needs must prevail over corporate greed. It's when a party comprehends that profit doesn't equate to enabling someone to buy a home in Barbados, but rather it means profiting the lives of fellow human beings.
As of now, the UK has descended into a state of hopelessness, appearing lifeless. Unfortunately, many people are resigning themselves to this reality, accepting it as this is how normal life is in the United kingdom. A life of poverty, no hope and no prospect. It's beyond heartbreaking it's in short an absolute insult to humanity.
Hey.
Thanks for the well thought and written comment. I can't say I disagree, it's becoming a more frequent site on my travels across the UK. Hopefully the video will shine a light on the problem. Thanks for watching and the comment 🙏 please share with any like minded folk you know 👊👍
I promise I will share, Joe. Keep up the fantastic work highlighting the problems people are sadly facing. For me, they should be in mainstream television with politicians made to explain themselves.
All you say was said in the 70's, 80's 90's......its just a load of cliches. People need to demand their taxes are spent on services they want and need instead of poured down the drain on useless IT, moronic pronoun /gender flags by councils and hospitals ,the pompous sheltered middle class Guardian elite's agendas that cause poverty to everyone bar them.....We need to get away from virtue signalling-the pompous right on Ben Elton going on about the high street-blaming Bezo's and Amazon (applause) saying he'd dump Bezos on the Moon on his rocket (hysterical laughter) ACTUALLY Elton, the problem isn't Bezo's or Amazon-it's pompous farts like you and your entire fawning audience using amazon instead of the high street thats the problem. Reducing tax and rates for shops-achieved by dumping diversity BS-would do the rest.
@@yeovil50thanks again 🙏👊
Propsperity based on what ???
We are not a manufacturing base
The banks just print money .. and give it to their rich friends ???
Then blame everyone for their ills ??
I was working in Cambourne 8yrs ago and i was told from locals that due too the mines closing down,The council got people to move down from up north so they can apply for grants for EU. So the big Tesco's was built with all the new houses for them.
Thanks for the info there, that makes sense of something a local told me whilst I was there. Thanks for watching 👍
Good video pal. I’ve been to Cornwall a few times but not really explored the less desirable parts.
Hi mate 👍 thanks for watching. Not many people tend to, I'm definitely going to be exploring more.
we moved to Truro not far from Camborne, I work all over Cornwall as a plumber and I was shocked when I moved down at how poor Cornwall is.... However, I also came from a poor part of East London and one thing I will say is the people are absolutely lovely... Back back in London people are horrible. wonder why that is???
Hi mate. Totally agree like you I moved from the estates of south Bristol. Hopefully this video can shine a light on the situation. Thanks for watching and the comment 👍
@cornishcockney. I’ve heard this a lot about London even though I’ve never been there. My guess would be that if the pace of life is fast then maybe more people compete for the same things and over time it generates a survival of the fittest mindset that is characterised by selfishness. I’ve met plenty of Londoners that did seem fine and friendly enough, but maybe actually been in the city is a different experience. I’ll maybe have to take a visit down there sometime soon to see if the stereotypes are actually true or not
East London is still great, if you can speak Bengali. It's a vibrant and exciting place with colourful Palestinian flags flying from every lampost. Plenty of women dressed modestly, young religious men who care passionately about their prophet and lots of lovely South East Asian cuisine available to all. Can't possibly imagine why you think the people are horrible, unless you mean the groups of young men who use cutlery to settle their disputes?
I miss Truro mate, lovely people
@@Booster85 its like how London was in the 80s to me anyway. people actually speak to each other nd they speak English (well Cornish but you get my drift)
Very sad to see this + the situations of folk are shocking. Human Rights do not allow this - WHY is this happening?
Really shocking! Please share the video with any like minded people, it will help get the video out to as many people as possible 🙏 thanks for watching and the comment
Its my hometown... its always been a dumping ground for all sorts...
The place is ruined... All Brexit voters too. Not mamy brain cells im affraid. Zero opportunity. Place is sick.
Thanks for the comment and for watching! It's a real shame and the obvious problems are very clear to see. Please share with any other locals who might find it interesting 👍
I live in Devon, its a very similar situation here. Thease same problems started years before Brexit. A town near me has 100s of perfectly fine empty homes, they have been empty years before Brexit, the real crime is they are empty, council or housing association owned yet those in the area on the housing list are told there are no homes available. Tents and caravans are increasing in number in our pretty towns and villages and authorities are gaining new powers to move thease people on.
As someone who was once made homeless through no fault of my own, I have first hand knowledge of the problems and unfairness and prejudice of trying to find a home especially in a wealthy country. Like many I've been forced to move away from the area I grew up in and see villages and towns deteriorated due to greedy landlords, second home owners and unfair rules and irresponsible funding from local government and councils.
@smogthehorse9409 I never even said Brexit was the problem but ok.. The government and morgage scammers/bankers finished off Thatchers demolition job since the 80s..
As someone born away from Cornwall but lived here years, i can honestly say its turkeys voting for Christmas.
There's a terrible education and medical system down here compared to any real City (Truros & Plymouth are city's in name only)
The peope who are all ancestors of minors all vote Tory, they all voted Brexit, losing Camborne its EU sub' payments as mentioned in the video.
Honestly mate it makes my blood boil how blind & most (certainly not all) people here are!!
Shoplifting is a big problem as well, when caught they are released again to carry on making shopkeepers lives a misery. Drug deals going on quite openly and nothing being done about it. The locals are doing their best but fighting a losing battle.
Definitely some big problems at play! Thanks for watching and the comment 👍🙏
I studied at the Camborne School of Mines (now moved to Exeter) in 1999/2000, the last mine South Crofty had close a year before. It was a bit run down back then but this is shocking to see.
Drugs+alcohol...
Never a good mix
They have nothing else
Moral of the story is Brexit has made this town poorer.
I used to go to Cornwall on holiday when I was in my early twenties it was a really lovely place….What is going on in our country ??It is beginning to look like the third world …But it is not only in Cornwall is it ???Why are there so many homeless people in our country…This used to be Great Britain .But there is nothing great about it now ….we have been invaded by people that have no business being here That town looks like the third world….AND STILL THEY ARE COMING ACROSS THE CHANNEL AND BEING PUT IN FOUR STAR HOTELS….WHY.?WHY,?How weak we have become ..WHAT KIND OF PEOPLE ARE RUNNING OUR COUNTRY…I AM 83 AND I COULD CRY….WELL DONE JOEFISH…
Cornwall has been poor for a long time, even when you and I went there for holidays. Not much holiday fun in Camborne or Redruth.
Hi Joe again! I did multidrops to Pewkey(Newquay),St.Awful(St,Austell),Redruff(Redruth),
Penzance,Falmouth and Truro bleak! I worked on the Barnstaple new bridge/bypass, there were tents in or under the hedges of the fields we built the roads through, over 20 at least. Homeless and the infrastructure isn't a priority, neverending wars on the other hand?
You Forgot Scam Born and Men's Pants lol
PEOPLE NEED TO VOTE REFORM UK PARTY.
The uk is in the mess it is in because of reich wing rule…
Yeah, I'm sure tax cuts to the wealthy will fix this.
UK today so good at paying for illegal immigrants.
Seems to be the same pattern through most of the Western world.
Clever, you’re saying exactly what your puppet masters want, well done.
It's not illegal to claim asylum. The reason it costs so much (even though there used to be far more of them than now) is that we sold off the accomodation and can't be arsed to process the claims, like we used to.
Brexit and this pathetic government have exacerbated this. And Labour will be even worse.
know cornwall very well,have driven through camborne ..pretty grim place,there used to be a big employer there but when that went the towns fortunes went too,redruth ,st austell and bodmin not much better either...worlds away from st ives ,padstow,perranporth etc
Totally agree, it's the inner area within Cornwall that is almost forgotten. Thanks for watching and the comment 👍
They vote tory and voted for brexit. Self inflicted and affects all those that wouldn’t and didn’t.
It's always the people that suffer unfortunately. Thanks for watching 👍🙏
Mou,,, Britain was giving the EU over £3 hundred million a week,, where's that money gone ??
@@mauriceosullivan6832 You don’t understand any of it do you, you never did nor probably ever will. Sigh.
Thanks Joe I Hope 1000.000 People View This Keep safe .
Me too! Thanks for the kind words. Please share with any like minded people you may know 🙏👍
how sad when i was a kid my mum and dad used to take me to cornwall most times we used to stay in Camborne as that was central to rest of county
I was shopping in Camborne yesterday Saturday afternoon. . It was really pleasant. Kehelland Trust, Superdrug, Jim’s Cash and Carry. No sign of any problem. Don’t keep knocking the town.
Excellent work, keep it up ,very sad, litter is a huge problem. In UK e erywhere. I live in Dartford, Kent.
Lazy people who won't work are now being forced to look after themselves. Its a good thing in my eyes.
Thanks for this video. I like England no matter what. It makes me so sad to see people living in tents among the graves ..
The living sleeping amongst the dead... It truly was such a sad interview. I just hope the video shines a light on the situation. Thanks for watching 🙏👍
Those at the top are only bothered about themselves it’s always been that way but greed grows and those at the bottom are forced on the streets unfortunately this is a sight in a lot of places now
We all need to sort this out, help each other and raise our standards
Agreed 💯 👊
I absolutely loved it there though. Worked there back in the day sometimes when i lived in Devon
Same here just feel for the youth and those in need in the area. Not much for them
Many places are like this in the UK now unfortunately. I travel around the country in my job and some of the sights I see are truly heartbreaking…I honestly think that it will never recover…at least in my lifetime…RIP UK 🇬🇧
Litter on the floor hasn't got anything to do with being in poverty.
However, Camborne has been going downhill for many years. I can't believe how bad it is nowadays! There are so many tents. I lived in that area for 23 years, it doesn't even look like the same place.
Hi
👋🏽 Joe, heartbreaking ❤️🩹 video - but I enjoy your content and warm humanity ❤
