  • Many white working-class men are struggling in today’s society - low education, poor jobs, high crime.
    Filmmaker Dan Murdoch spends a year on the fringes of Manchester in some of Britain's most deprived estates. He finds anger, resentment and frustration. But he also finds a spirit of camaraderie among the estates that are fighting to stay above water - fighting not to be forgotten.
    In part one, Mikey puts on a party for his community and Jordan tries to survive on the streets.
    Britain's Forgotten Men is an ongoing series. The first four parts will be released daily.

    I was homeless and lived in my car. I had a job but couldn't make enough to rent anywhere. Now I try and help people in my community. This is where it starts and where it ends. Help when and where you can.

    I grew up in a place not much better than this and the key issue that I saw and still see is a lack of aspiration. Parents have very little desire for their children to achieve anything, they don't read to them, they don't teach them respect, they constantly make excuses for them when they get in trouble at school, they don't monitor their school work, they expose them to inappropriate adult situations, the list goes on.

    • @harryb4839
      @harryb4839 6 лет назад +64

      Mr Numba 1 hit the nail on the head, it’s a constant cycle in which they treat their children the same way they were treated by their parents because they were never taught any different and they were never educated out of school or taken to museums etc (cultural enrichment) like middle class kids ,which is why they will never escape this poverty and mindset and will always be working/lower class

    This is what happens when parents aren't educated enough and sometimes not capable of raising and supporting their children in a stable environment. These kids come from the most vulnerable families on the UK, that is why they're asking for more support. Does everyone in the comments actually believe these young men come from well rounded families? I could bet my life at least one of the boys shown on this documentary have come from an impoverished family and their parents are either alcoholics or drug addicts. This is why they're really asking for support, because they were never given it growing up and now they've been left to fend for themselves without been given the right skill set or education to make it as an adult in the real world.

    • @catherineneil69
      @catherineneil69 7 лет назад +45

      I'm glad there are people who can see beyond the surface of this video. You'll never have a chance in life if you've not had the support and encouragement throughout childhood. People are commenting that the boys are "stupid" or "chavs", things like "why can't they just get a job, there's plenty". I'm sure most of the boys dropped out of school. Why? Because there's nobody at home pushing them to stay in school. So they go to the streets, since that's the only place they fit in. With the rest of the kids who come from similar family backgrounds. They way you behave as an adult is a learned behaviour from childhood. How can you expect these boys to be model citizens when they've not had the same start in life?

    • @NotAnotherKuromi
      @NotAnotherKuromi 7 лет назад +26

      This is the most sensible comment I have seen on these videos.
      It is not a simple case of lack of housing, it is that these people have had no guidance in their life & they need knowledge & self worth. If mental health help, teaching & social care were better managed & had more financial backing it would improve millions of lives better than just creating another council estate.

    • @PrimitivePresents
      @PrimitivePresents 7 лет назад +30

      Shanice-Rochelle .J Thanks Shanice. It often seems like most black people have no empathy towards White people whatsoever.
      I am genuinely speaking from experience here with black friends. One used to speak loudly and proudly on Facebook to free a guy who stabbed someone. When I asked why his attitude was sympathetic, about how he grew up rough. But then again I've also heard him mock poor, scruffy looking White people asking for change or being hopelessly addicted. The guy who stabbed wore stone island jackets! Hardly impoverished in comparison but it's as though black people have been brainwashed to always look at whites with contempt.
      All in all I would say that poor blacks have more opportunity than poor whites. Especially from the state. What holds blacks back in the toxicities in their own cultures - especially afro-caribbean.

    • @PrimitivePresents
      @PrimitivePresents 7 лет назад +29

      To summarise - the black attitude seems to be -
      If a black man stabs another he is a victim of circumstance.
      If a white man struggles to get by and needs help he is a wasteman bumbaclart.

      Their parent's may not have given them much support, pushing them to focus on school, read them books, enrich them with culture and ideas, showing their kids a bad side like alcohol, laziness - it creates a cycle where the young may not aspire as much.

    • @andrewharper1609
      @andrewharper1609 2 года назад

      The point isn't that they don't want to go to university and contribute. The point is that if your parents weren't University educated you're less likely to be yourself, if there aren't well paid working class jobs in the area (a lot of the factory work was outsourced to China and India) there is less for them to aspire to anyway.

    • @mrswolf3084
      @mrswolf3084 2 года назад

      They probably pay more into the system than you know, do you think people who hold onto their wealth consume by shopping at the same places or even paying the same prices as they overcharge a lot in interest if you're on a low income and have to pay nearly triple the amount to what a wealthy person would have to? University isn't a good measure of an educated person anymore not to mention the huge amount of debt you're left with afterwards. If communities came together more then you would have electricians, plumbers and mechanics and who knows what else if money and funding and most importantly empathy given to those who haven't been dealt with the best in life though no fault of their own! we need to take care of the young in our society as they will be the ones keep it going not the governments!
      Also having been brought up in poverty and lived on a council estate myself I've experienced first hand that everyone is trying to survive hand to mouth and very few want to live that way and poverty has been proven to rewire your brain as lack of nutrients and the main focus is just surviving that day and this leads onto bad choices being made due to just wanting basic comforts such as heating, food etc and how can you save when you've hardly got any money to begin with and the big TVs people sneer about are brought at an exototinate cost from pay monthly schemes, yes the people who are poorer than you can and should have access world you know as everything is online now and that costs money. I also have a very wealthy father who was tight as anything and hoarded his wealth and never contributed a penny! so saw both sides of the coin and can say the wealthy side was much much more meaner and crueler as they dont know what it's like to have nothing, or very few do!
      If people were less devided though sheer snobbery and came togther you would find you have more in common than you ever though was possible!

    It's almost impossible to get a council flat nowadays, especially in London.

But people who aren't from here have no problem getting one & are jumping out of disable permit cars without a problem wrong with them, funny that.
    Reading through the comments so many of you have lost your humanity it's embarrassing.

      I am sorry but this is baloney. If you need cheaper housing get out of London and move to the North and then when you have earned the right to live in London you can move back if you like it so much. All of this whiffwaff about family and feelings is ridiculous make those short term sacrifices to benefit in the long term. This rompous pompous joke we call "poverty" is hysterical if you want to see real poverty take a trip to Cape Verde where the little children are shitting in the street and are actually in poverty. Living in the west from UK to USA if you are short term poor my heart goes out to you G-d bless you and I pray you get well soon. If you are long term poor no excuse whatsoever you are TERRIBLE with money. I have been working since I was year 10 at 14 years old where I washed dishes for a restaurant and even before that in my area I would offer to clean peoples car for them, wash windows, mow the lawn anything I could do. I know so many people now I am older who work their asses off and pay taxes for what? So people like this can keep living on free government assistance which decreases the incentive to work while they sell drugs on the street and have babies they cant afford to raise through having out of wedlock children? They have no goals and for anyone to ever help them they need to have the desire to help themselfs

They are people who cannot change the fact they haven’t got any money or a home. Yet this country takes in immigrants like they’re going out of fashion when our own people are living like this.

      Unfortunately it is a very corrupt political system. The Muslims voted in Khan. Nearly every major British City now has a Muslim mayor and they speak to their people in Arabic. There are 33,000 Mosques in the UK. Muslims are a minority, the Mosques are a show of power often paid by tax free donations from Saudi etc. Let's hope the new Prime Minister will turn things around. The Jails are run by Muslims who have their own Mosques. The white men are either enrolled into Islam or suffer an unholy time in prison.

Khan is only the mayor of LONDON! This is in MANCHESTER! The reason why this country is at breaking point is because of the current goverment making massive funding cuts to all public services since 2010. This cut were not made by the Muslim population they were made by non Muslim men so stop using my community as a scapgoate for issues that are nothing to do with us!!

    The problem I have with modern mindsets is that it shifts blame away from individuals and places it on the state... The sad but realistic fact is you can throw money at these people but if they arent willing to improve their lives themselves, educate themselves etc then they wont change.
    I came from a single parent household in an ex-mining communuty in the North of England. I very easily could have ended up like these people just as many of my peers did at school but I knuckled down determined not to end up living like this - I haven't... I have a good job, my own home and travel around the world.
    The first bit of this video concentrates on a person hosting an illegal party with under age drinking, drug taking and causing an annoyance to the people who live around them... That isnt helping anyone... We are living in a society with all sorts of support out there for people both governmental and charity based but these people arent interested in bettering themselves.
    Its a very fluffy mindset to have this ideology that its the governments fault etc it isnt... These people need to learn to empower themselves as I and many others have done.
    Stealing peoples properties and branding yourself a 'Land Pirate' isnt fighting back at the system its theft...

      The problems jobs are not well paid and life is expensive. You work on a factory you earn pennies. It's crazy but it's true. In Italy for example our family is very important and supportive. Family and parents give us a place to stay food and they teach us how's life and how to respect. The problems in England is: private school high education, public school you left behind really badly. The queen the royals all around status. There is no culture. There is not middle class. That's sad

    If there's one lesson that should be taught in schools. Then it should be that the world does not owe you anything no matter where or how you are born. As to people that say it's the governments/councils fault. How many of them actually bothered to attend council meetings or even go out and vote?

      I disagree. I have worked hard to get where i am. But, the reality is, council's and government only care about themselves and the bosses. Make no mistake about it. I've never let them make me give in. It's easy to quit your job, but it's not easy to pay for your mortgage and all other bills, alongside dress smartly and have the superifcial things that relate to a normal life, if you quit your job. Its also not easy when the cost of living and inflation rises constantly, but wages don't balance it out, unless you're a banker, politician or something where it's a "Boys club" so to speak. One rule for them, and the rest of us get the scraps, alongside from financially raped with Tax.
      So I don't know where you're living, but it certainly aint in the real world.

It's good to see them doing positive things, the kids need more positive tolerance models instead of idiots hurting people. I lived in West gorton in the 90s watched them spend 7 million on doing up the estate over 7 years an then rip it all down because it was an embarrassment to the council after Shameless the comedy became so famous, so they ripped it all down, that's the kind of waist of tax payers moneys is going on.

    Not everyone has opportunity. When a child has parents who haven't a clue how to raise them to be happy, stable adults, it's hardly shocking to see that child grow up with immense complexes that only a trained doctor could one detect and two help mend. When you then think of this one child being a huge group, you get the working class. It's about time people start pointing the finger at the people who have the POWER to stop this. Not the poor sods condemned to a life of poverty. No amount of motivation or willpower will help these people, it's gotta be the dicks sitting in their mansions wiping their arses with 50 pound notes that have to do something. Yes we, the normal average folk who have the privilege to watch this as entertainment, have a part to play too. We need to turn our backs on the people that PRETEND to help us, and start looking at these individuals as HUMAN BEINGS. Fuck the government! No violence, no hate but buckets and buckets and buckets of love.

Usually i come across documentary films like this one and the comments are always full of know it all critics telling us that the poor sods on screen are scum, don't work, common criminals or whatever. These are human beings and 30 minutes on camera does not tell the whole story. Why are people so quick these days to condemn someone they no nothing about. I know where to point the finger when it comes down to the state of the UK these days and it is not at the poor people suffering a miserable day in day out struggle just to get by. In this country the rich get richer and the poor get trampled on, laughed at and mocked, ripped off and given zero opportunity to better their lives and get poorer as each day slips away along with their sanity. There is these things called compassion, understanding and love and respect.We are very short on these things today so reading your comment was like a breath of fresh air.
      Good on yer xXvv Xx and yes they don't want bags full of money, even though it would help a bit they need buckets and buckets and buckets full of love,love, love it really does go a long way away. We could solve many problems in the world with love it is a very powerful tool to use. God bless ya mate you've got a good heart that is something to cherish cos not a lot of people have one these days. RESPECT.

    Here is my attempt at summarising my views on this situation.
    First of all, I feel very sorry for the people in this video, life is not easy for them and that is simple. I am lucky to live in a nice neighbourhood in which very few people have the issues anywhere near to those they have. Life is not easy for them.
    But what I will also say, is that i do think that in some cases (NOT ALL, SOME), people from these backgrounds act as if they have no choice but to get together in gangs, wear masks, and get into fights. They do have a choice! They do not have a choice over their financial situation perhaps, but they do have a choice to do something good in their life. The bloke who set up the gathering was in a similar position, but did he start carrying knives and getting into gangs? No, he tried to improve it. Those who were moaning saying "people dont like us, people don't care about us" are contributing to that by acting like pricks all the time! Anyone can point a finger, why not take it amongst themselves to get up to something else? How about kicking a football about, there will be places to do that, making music, being creative, getting politically active in their local area, writing to local MPs?
    How can someone expect their situation to get better if they themselves put in no effort to do such things to change it, and instead choose to carry knives and cause more trouble in the community?

      @@alanjax7685 in hindsight my comment does appear ignorant but I'm not completely insulated from what these areas are actually like.
      At times it must be easier in these neighbourhoods to get involved in gang activities, violence, crime but what I'm saying is the choice is still there whether to do this. The alternative things I suggested didn't necessarily all apply but as one example: you say you chatted to them about football - surely if they have enough money and time to watch/consume football then they would be able to afford at least some other less expensive things? Of COURSE public spending has to play a role in helping these communities, and clearly needs to happen far more in impoverished areas than it is happening. Your point about the far right is a good one as well and in hindsight what I said about getting involved in politics doesn't hold too much weight as it's actually very difficult to make any sort of difference in that arena for anyone.
      Above all I'm sure you'll agree the problem is deep-rooted and even with more public spending (which has to increase to help change anything), it would take a long time for improvement to be noticeable

    *It really pisses me off how 98% of British politicians talk about **_"multiculturalism"_** and/or **_"cultural diversity"_** as if they're something we should wear as badges of honour, or something we should aspire to in our inner cities. Why? Surely it's not that difficult to comprehend that as human beings, we're far more likely to get on with neighbours who we share more common interests and values with? That's not racist or culturalist. It's just being human for goodness sake.*
    *It's time politicians stopped trying to ram unattainable goals, or their own (supposed) ideals down our throats as a society, regardless of what colour, ethnicity, race or religion we all are. It couldn't be any clearer after 60+ years of trying to force the issue, that the multicultural experiment has failed globally, and on an epic scale.*

      @@captainpeacock4442 Hi... I was tempted to begin by asking if you're free, but I resisted the temptation! LOL. But going back to the topic, to my mind at least, Channel 4 is more obviously woke than the Beeb. And I'd particularly point at Channel 4's News and any political programmes or even historical documentaries they commission.
      I don't know if you're aware, but Channel 4 is, and always has been publically owned (in effect, just like the BBC). The only difference being that Channel 4 is financed from commercial activity, whereas the Beeb is financed via the license fee. Meanwhile, the BBC also owns 50% of _"BritBox",_ and recently bought the remaining shares of _"Dave"._ (The BBC has always owned a percentage of _"Dave"._ So when the BBC claims that it's _"...funded exclusively by the license fee",_ it's not strictly true. In fact it's total bollocks!
      Either way, both the BBC and Channel 4 are an old boys network in my opinion. Nothing more than a gravy train to support the left-wing _'wokies'_ who worked for them in the 80s and 90s, and who know where all the bodies are buried. i.e. the victims of BBC and Channel 4 people such as Janet Street-Porter, Jeremy Isaacs, Phil Redmond, Stuart Hall, Paul Daniels, William G Stewart, Jonathan Ross, and even younger talent such as Konnie Huq. She is incredibly woke, as is her husband, satirist Charlie Brooker, as is her Labour MP sister, Rupa Huq. Weird how Konnie Huq first appeared on TV as a regular 16yo schoolgirl on the quiz show _'Blockbusters'._ Yet had a walk-on part in the SitCom _"2.4 Children"_ less than 3 months later?!!?
