Used to love Bristol in the summer, not the same now but the carnival was amazing back in the day up until like 2010. I saw that Nia Archives outdoor gig the other week the vibe seems to be coming back
Every time I am in Bristol I love to come to St Pauls, I was àt Glyn's Cafe two weeks ago, I had some mighty fine Caribbean food, Bristol is a great place to be for me
Been living in Bristol for 6 years, 3 years in St Paul's on two different streets, never had any problems, if you gonna look for a trouble, you don't have to look for too long, like in any town anywhere... Personally can't complain at all 😉 don't know why is called one of the most dangerous areas in Bristol, there is few areas much worse than St Paul's definitely.
I’m originally from north London Enfield but I grew up in St Paul’s was a really happy place to live obviously u had the odd gangs & crime but the community does hold strong no matter wat rip Nickolas Robinson 💪🏽🕊️st pauls legend
Yes! Tea and crumpets! Just seen your video with Backpacker Ben! I'm from Hull, it was voted shi**est city for a long time, improved now. Tottenham looks pretty nice!
I visited Bristol for 1 day a few years back. An Australian on holiday in Wales. And Wales was beautiful. When you don't live there you just see bits over 8 hours, and not knowing it's history your senses get hit by waves of information. Hell I knew nothing of a Caribbean influence till seeing this vid. And like many assumed that the stone buildings, streetscapes and historic monuments described fully the Bristol I was in. And here we see a lot more to Bristol. Just looking at that menu and seeing you guys eat, I wanted to jump on a plane right away to experience those tastes and smells. I did view a lot of truly beautiful architecture across the city and walked that famous Suspension Bridge. But when I looked down those 75 metres to the water below, I saw where the wharves were. Where people were bought and sold, where people's futures were decided and 100% would never see their homes again, It puts a totally different perspective on how all that architecture came about and who paid for it. Not the rich traders. It was the black slaves themselves whose lives and deaths gave Bristol it's perceived wealth. Knowing Bristols long history of trading in human lives I wonder how many living there know, or even care about this. The fact that the white wealthy were enthusiastic about shipping black Africans through the port, as a commodity, an item, a thing. A thing with little value or purpose, to be used and thrown away. It reminds me of what we see the UK government doing today. Turning a blind eye to death and destruction by a people, on a people. The outcome is for profit. For land, for power, for control, but also for sea views. The disgust I had of the English disregard for slaves shipped through Bristol, Liverpool and elsewhere affected me deeply. And I thought that my visit some 7 years ago was to hear of something that would never happen again. It doesn't have to be slaves dying in transit or on plantations. It equates to innocent people having to face indiscriminate bombing, to having their water and electricity turned off, to having their roads destroyed, hospitals, schools, government services inoperable. But above all to be starved, not just on ships to the New World, but in their own homes, in their own rubble, in their own refugee camps and in their tents. Starvation by a people on a people. The UK has a long history of siding with the worst that humankind can produce. As it's doing now. The shame of Bristol and Liverpool lives on. Death of people without power or a voice, because selling commodities of war and more death is what the UK does so very effectively.
@@bobbi911 Correct. But first the colonies had to be built by the English conquerors using the labour from England itself. Those who didn't die on the journey had to then endure years of slaving for those with power(and uniforms). The colonies progressed through using the slaves sent from the UK. Some for stealing a loaf of bread or a handkerchief, and for "the term of their natural life". Some of the colonies were worse than others. Port Arthur in Tasmania and the settlement on Norfolk Island, New South Wales, were particularly harsh on their criminal transplants. And disease, famine and sexually transmitted diseases took their toll. As the settlements grew conflict with the many diverse Native peoples occurred. Aboriginal Australians were slaughtered by British Troops and settlers with total complicity of the Governors. Thousands were used as slaves, especially young girls as domestic servants. And many became pregnant to their overseers. The common cold and STI's wreaked havoc. The isolation of Australia meant there was no resistance to the influx of disease. With their land stolen and their food sources destroyed many lived on the outskirts of settlements hoping for some charity as food or paid work. Many men were put to work with the Police to track down fellow Aboriginals wanted for crimes. And of course many never committed offences, but bush law was swift, uncompromising and not to be argued with. The white men were always right. A lot of our native peoples are still finding out about the violence their families were subjected to over the almost 200 years. As the country opened up and land was cleared new industries like Sugar Cane in the north east(QLD) and raising Cattle across the northern half of the continent took on an urgency to make money. Aboriginal stockmen were much respected for their horsemanship and many were employed on the vast cattle stations.Though they were paid a pittance. They new the land and were loyal employees. They remain the backbone of the cattle industry especially in the north of Australia. Cane farming and harvesting was a different matter. Thats where "Blackbirding" came about. Not sure if the Aboriginal Australians were unsuited to the work, were unavailable or refused to do it. The native peoples of the Solomon Islands, Vanuatu and New Britain were targeted as the farmers new, FREE, labour source. I don't claim to know a lot about this part of our history. There was a Sugar Cane Crushing Mill not far from where I live and the "Cane Slaves" lived close to my town and had a well worn track they walked every day to work. Our tropical climate has changed here. We no longer receive the rain Sugarcane requires and there is no source for irrigation of Cane. There has been no cane grown in my region for at least 50 years. The "Blackbirds" lived separate from the community, but there still exist a few small villages along our coast and they refer to themselves as South Sea Islanders'. They are involved in all aspects of the wider community. Predominantly men were captured and locked away inside ships for the voyage to coastal Queensland. Most never saw their homeland again. The Sugar industry made huge profits on their labour, and although eventually pitiful wages evolved, so many were simply slaves who got some food, some shelter, but not much dignity. It is a really horrible chapter in out history and many Australians have no knowledge of it. So as to slavery, Australia has had its waves. First the convicts, then our First Nations peoples were used and then moving on to the South Sea Islanders, tricked into getting on a boat being their worst decision ever. But we have our own modern slavery. Girls and women smuggled into prostitution. Farm workers, men and women giving up their passports to earn virtually nothing. And the factory workers slaving to make clothing, shoes, anything, for Australians to consume, oblivious as to where those items come from. Slavery is about power and greed. We all should be on the lookout and call it out when we can. Rant over.
Lived in Bishopston BS7. Worked in Grosvenor Road & Mina road St Pauls in late 70/80’s had many friends in Banner Road, loved the area, lot’s of Irish in the community that never seem to get a mention n’all.
"The Lane"- Franklyn Lane. Joins onto Franklyn Street. My Childhood. No Facebook/X/Twitter and any other "social media" to corrupt your mind . Never had any issues. Times change. We used to close off the street and have street fairs. Everyone knew everyone. Total respect. And now, people dont even know their neighbor. Sad.
Man yes bro massive shout out man I yoused to go college in sent Paul's in the 90s and my anti owned frontline videos down there and my other anti lived there to I do believe my nan did as well at some piont in her life
You should go to brookside in Telford. Or Woodside or Sutton Hill. Some pretty wild counsel estates. Brookside I think if you google it was ome of the most crime ridden areas in England at ome point.
St Paul’s isn’t that dangerous anymore. I’d walk through there any time of the day or night, no problem. If you’re not looking for trouble, you won’t find it. It was a bit sketchier when I was a young teenager, but still felt safer there than somewhere like southmead
u do realise crack is the literal exact same drug as coke righ? if police tested a lump of crack it comes back as cocaine. theres 0 diffrence just the form of consumption
definitely has a reputation but then that being said most area's in Bristol have a rep, there is a general attitude here in Bristol treat people how you like to be treated and you will get what you give simple as that, as for the drugs and crime anywhere in the UK or even Bristol has that culture, im Bristol born and breed live all over the city and hands down the few years i spent in st paul's was one of the best community's i have ever lived in
Did you just point towards Brunswick square referring to it as Ghetto & then point to Broadmead as posh? Broadmead is terribly run down & even the modern Cabot circus has suffered from declining footfall with many empty shops. Brunswick has always been the home to top professionals, a really affluent little enclave 🤑🧡
The reason why a lot of British people feel disconnected with their country is because so many other cultures are coming here and replacing ours, we can't even fly our own flag in places without being arrested
@@Mayhem69485Just because you put 'lol' and laughing emojis doesn't mean you're right. Many areas in England have been dominated by other cultures, for example the area I live is mostly Muslim now. And there's literally video evidence of English people being arrested for flying our own flag
