An elegy for a disappearing England. That being said, Clacton looks like a virtual paradise compared with my home town of Bradford.
Living in “diverse” Birmingham I was isolated from the English for years until I moved to the outskirts..
I find myself craving English culture and company.. how is that right in England to be replaced like this?
@@dopeyb218I do too.
I prefer people that are similar to me and look like me.
I don’t care what anyone says.

@@dopeyb218 our very weak government and the money being poured into policies. You know - diversity and inclusion
Nothing for the English people and their culture though
They want rid of the English identity
@@EpicAelflaed Why do you say they are weak?
It's said that Arthur will return, Excalibur in hand, when England needs him most. You look at a place like Clacton, and Britain as a whole, and wonder what's taking him so long.
He's making one last tik tok video.
Since he was a Briton, and fought a bitter war against the Saxons, I don't think he's too fussed about England.
Arthur would be sent to jail for Hate Speech or some made up legalistic therm. He would be a youtuber who would loose his channel. And any violent act, justified or not would put him in jail for a long time, specially one with a sword. Current Civilization as we knew it, corrupted into its current state killed Knighthood itself, then moved on to kill masculinity.

I'm from Cleethorpes, which is demographically similar. There is something about a common culture which encourages interaction. A brief exchange with a passing stranger makes all the difference. It makes you feel part of the community. Part of the human race.
It does for us men indeed. Because we don't get as much interaction

About 5 years ago I was visiting England from Australia to see some relatives still there. Was in London for a while then went down to the southern coast. Ended up in a pub in a place called Weymouth and talked to a few roofers about my age from northern England down there for a job. They all said they liked working in the south because it actually still seemed like England there..
They all expressed varying degrees of a desire to eventually emigrate.
But where to?
Tell them to stay out of continental Europe.
Uraguay or South East Asia.
Stay away from the 5 eyes countries and Europe.
I'm also Australian. Four years ago I moved from the mainland to Tasmania and it's been like moving back in time to the 1980s. Much less immigration. Much more social cohesion and strangers stop and talk in the streets and it's easy to make friends.
I've also travelled extensively in the UK and whilst some rural villages are still lovely I would never go to London again. As they say it's not England. And Paris is not French anymore, especially around the Eiffel Tower.
Where would they immigrate? All anglosphere countries are like this.
What an excellent video and very thought provoking. It’s utterly inconceivable that a programme like this would be made by legacy media now.
Mainly cuz a good majority of British understand why it is we have brown faces and foreign languages in this country and domt see those people as some sort of second class beasts as u racists do.
This video is insane. He confuses correlation and causation in the first 10 seconds. Socioeconomic status causes intelligence (as far as that is actually measurable), not the other way around.
Are you sure this isn't parodying posh people?

They've been slandering working class Britons like this for 20 years or more. It's just pure spite because Dutton's Tory part are finished
@@joshuataylor3550 Dutton will NEVER make a video about the people which have fleeced this country for 45 years. FOURTEEN YEARS they've been in office and look what they've left. Clacton actually votes Tory as well
The lady outside the job centre with mental health problems -- she's just come out of hospital, several family members have died and she's struggling to make ends meet. I feel like most people would be depressed in these circumstances.
The guy then proceeded to comment (13min onwards) on how he was surprised at their politeness, he was basically shocked that the people he spoke to were human beings.
No surprises there though as he believes and went on to claim that "everyone's entitled to a free 700 pounds a month for doing nothing" & that it's "taxpayers money, not yours"
Benefit "scroungers" is an entirely outdated belief, they basically don't exist anymore... The benefits system isn't what it once was;
you can't just sit around anymore.
if you don't do what they say and prove it you get sanctioned and don't get paid anything.. job searching practically becomes a job in and of itself, and it's quite difficult to actually get approved for the disability element so you'll be forced to attend the job centre to search, attend job fares and hand your CV in for every job possible (regardless of your qualifications and skills) and everything else expected of someone on UC thats not disabled, for the entire period it takes to process your claim.. you could be in agony, writhing around in tears, and that wouldn't be a good enough reason to not attend. (I know this, as it's happened to me. I lost my health before I was even 15.)
The wait period can go on for years if you include the wasted time caused by the denials that are almost automatically given to everyone whether blatantly an incorrect decision or not.. (personally experienced this too, lol) they'll deny even the most disabled people almost in hopes they don't appeal.. they do it over and over again, but as soon as the claimant takes things further and requests a tribuna (BCOS they're out of mandatory reconsiderations - you get 3 iirc and all 3 are conducted by people without medical qualifications lol..) - it goes from denied to accepted "due to new evidence" (evidence they've had all along) because they can't justify it in court where they also have to have an actually qualified medical professional 💀 which is exactly why benefit scroungers don't exist anymore, you can barely get them without a fight WHILE being disabled.. the amount you get is ridiculously small anyhow.. 700 a month would have to be including the rent money they have to give to the council (and wouldn't get if they weren't housed due to not paying.) which leaves them with about 300 at max, hardly enough to afford enough food to survive in the current economy 😭
Its also replaced DLA/ESA payments, so you're "on universal credit" but have a LWCRA

Clacton looks like paradise compared to most, if not all, British cities now. Interesting watch Prof D. Thanks
I went on several Sunday School outing to Clacton, lovely memories from mid Buckinghamshire now swamped by Milton Keynes.
Blackpool is paradise to me. I used to dump on it for being trashy, but it's one of the last bastions and remnants of true working-class British culture.
It looks like a bit of a shithole in all honesty.
It's similar over here in the Netherlands, aside from the smaller towns here actually being the greatest predictor of having middle to upper middle class backgrounds, the town I live in seems to be an especially idyllic paradise, we enjoy quite a lively shopping center and booming restaurant economy. It is quite idyllic namely in comparison to some of the surrounding cities, which, let's put it bluntly, aren't exactly known for their upper classes, even if you're already talking about cities. Cities in these parts are very much unlike more of the central cities, which we call the "randstad" (freely translated as "bordering cities", a kind of reference to multiple cities forming a megacity by growing into each other) in Dutch, where the upper classes mostly reside, as well as lower classes. Most middle classers live in villages and towns dotting the landscape of the Netherlands. There's differences with Britain, but in almost all non-economic factors, the rural landscape of Britain seems to be similar to the Netherlands... When it comes to economic factors, the trend seems to differ, most Dutch folk on benefits seem to prefer citylife, possibly because of how our social rent system works...
for now.......
Glad to see that there's at least SOMEwhere in England that the English can be English.
Agreed.
It’s a rarity these days - England is destroyed in the big cities and many towns - really sad to see
Multiculturalism does not work in such huge numbers - feeling like a minority in your own country with little English culture if any
Your points are well made but is Clacton any advert for a wonderful British utopia when it appears tired, totally inactive, work shy and by modern standards very old fashion. Where I support the Clactonites is in their choice to come together and live how ever they what, you can't be a good fight at the food bank,,,!.@@EpicAelflaed

That's a great point wow
I've come to the realisation that working class blokes are the best people to hand out with (although I will obviously be biased because I am one), there's just a sense of humour, leg pulling and comradery - and a sense of honestly, what you see is what you get. I'm not saying that we're all saints, there's bad and good in all strata of society, but at least you can tell.

The part in the pub at the end nearly had me in tears. It had such a nostalgic feel that reminded me of the kind of people I would see around when I visited my grandparents back out near Winchester as a child. I really don't want all this to disappear. Thanks for the upload this was a really amazing watch.
In about 100 years this will all be gone and Britain will be an extension of Africa, India, and the Middle East.
We went to Clacton a few years back, It was a lovely stay with no crime whatsoever, lovely people and really relaxing.
I'm still in London and it's gone down something rotten. As John Cleese rightly said, it's no longer an English city.
Dream big, it could be again.
ive noticed this walking around my home city of Plymouth, so many people look sick, fat, wasted, etc its horrible to see
When I was young Plymouth was the "Big Smoke" that Cornish people used to visit for a day out, a bit of a treat, or to buy special things you couldn't get nearer home. We went to the Pavillions to see bands that didn't come further west. On the Saturdays immediately prior to Christmas the city centre was as crowded as Oxford Street.
But how it's changed, especially this century. As you say it's a depressing place with depressing people. It's especially sad because it's in a lovely location. It's at least a decade since I've been there.
It's all been by design since family trees were uprooted in two world wars, the decline of the fabric of British culture has eroded slowly due to lack of aspirations due to poverty, a welfare system, treacherous politicians and mass illegal immigration.
i visited plymouth 27 years ago with my school and visited the castles nearby, has it changed a lot ?
@@cromartie1984 Its changed within the past 4 years. I moved out in 2020, I visit my parents a couple of times a year. The government have been cramming in the world's poor more and more every year, and it's completely changed the town centre. Before I left, it was very difficult to get a low-skill job, very competitive. There was absolutely no need for them to do this to us. No benefit.
This deserves to be SHARED.
Great work Ed.
This might seem surprising but I as an Irishman somewhat envy the English for still having places like this. While Ireland is somewhat more homogeneous (although that gap is closing rapidly) and while we don't have major metropolitan areas like London or Birmingham where the natives are already the minority, the foreign population here is extremely dispersed due to the fact that they came here long after any industrialisation and thus simply settled wherever housing was cheapest, which tended to be outside said metropolitan areas. As a consequence, while we don't have hyper-diverse cities like England does, we also don't have bastions of native culture in the towns and countryside the way you guys do.
Ireland stayed Irish while England was falling, but Ireland is going to overtake England down the multicultural toilet bowl soon.
Dublin is now hyperdiverse
@@perceptortronit's still 68% Irish and 80% White. While that is quite bad, that's a level of ethnic and racial homogeneity not seen in London since probably the early 90s or even longer ago.
@@fedmcglowie7240Not so fast mate.
So your Irish, eh?
Well, there's a few things you left out.
Lets look at modern Britain.
I think its great that Black blokes are systematically going round screwing many (not all) Chav White girls on poor run down Council Estates throughout the UK.
It makes me extremely happy that the Whites and Blacks indulge in a lifestyle that makes them happy.
At least they are integrated which is what they always wanted.
The Asians as usual own all the shops.
They are the most hard-working people I've ever seen but they do not speak English very well.
The Romanians form their own little communities and don't really interact with anyone as most of them do not speak English very well either.
The Polish people are very racist towards Blacks and they also form their own little communities.
The main problem is that all the various groups do not interact with each other.
It's mainly only Blacks and Whites who actually interact with each other with most of the interaction being sexual in nature.
Integration can only work when everyone speaks the same language.
If no one bothers to learn to speak English integration will never work.
The Polish people are very hard-working but they are very racist towards Blacks so integration is not possible.
They are also White but they are not Anglo-Saxon so their behaviour is very different from the indigenous British.
The only two groups of people in the entire country of Great Britain that are truly integrated are indigenous British people and Black Caribbean people.
The interaction between these two groups is mainly sexual in nature.
We see this behaviour on poor run down council estates throughout Britain.
90% of Whites girls on Council estates and 10% of White boys on Council Estates will probably be inseminated by a Blackman at some point in their lives.
Whatever makes them happy is cool with me.
Remember that Whites and Blacks ALWAYS wanted sexual integration.
Well, they got what they wanted!
The most Irish settlement in the Republic of Ireland (the Catholic parts of the North are actually the most Irish places left on this planet) is a small town of about 3000 people, named Clara and located in county Offaly. In the 2016 census (the ethnic data for towns and counties from the 2022 census appears to still not have been published), it was 92% Irish and 98% White. For comparison, that is the same ethnic and racial make-up that Dublin had 20 years earlier in the 1996 census, when it was probably the most ethnically diverse part of the country (with the possible exception of the small town of Ballyhaunis in county Mayo, which already had a small Pakistani community starting in the 1970s). Probably the most homogeneous town of any real size according to the 2016 census was Wexford, which had a population of roughly 20,000 and was about 87% Irish and 96% White. Donegal was our most homogeneous county, being close to 90% Irish and 98% White. We do not have anywhere that's comparable to how much of rural England is in terms of ethnic or racial homogeneity.
My 4 years living in London, 2 of them during the coof, was one of the most disappointing experiences of my life. I imagined I would be going to the capital city of the empire, the shining city on the hill, but instead I found it populated by the passengers of any typical international airport...effectively, London appeared to me as nothing more than an extension of the international terminal of Heathrow airport.
I lived in the East End, and I found it almost devoid of the English save a few poor souls that hadn't yet been force to shift out to Essex. It more often felt like I was in Pakistan or Bangladesh, and had it not been for the Tube signs, I would have sworn that I was nowhere near London or the UK for that matter.
That sounds like the capital of an empire?
@@coolio2000 nope...it is the capital city of an empire that had been stormed by the barbarians and is the capital of an empire that is no more.
@@kachmi Rome was bustling with people from all over the empire. There was eevated crime, if that's what you're referring to, because they are densely populated areas in which more human interaction occurs than in other parts of a country.
@@coolio2000 London is a hellscape. It is not because it is bustling with people, if they were the people originating in the British Isles that would be OK, but it is because it is bustling with barbarians from across the globe. Rome made the exact same mistake, and the result was the looting of the empire by the very barbarians they let through the gate. Only the richest of the native population now live in their own capital city, and this is evident on every tube ride or drive through the city.
Im from Kentucky, and I had the same first impressions of London as well. I was expecting English culture and people, and all I saw were a bunch of non English speaking people wearing burkas and hijabs. UK has already lost London to third-world immigrants who don't share the same language, religion, and culture of the ethnically British people.
Bald and Bankrupt was in Clacton recently and I got the same feeling from it as I do your look into it, though yours is at a more granular level. It's fascinating to watch from the United States. Our country has changed massively too, just in my lifetime. The racial makeup change began in 1965 with the passing of the Hart-Cellar Act which opened up immigration to the entire world instead of just Europe as it had been previously.
The equivalent to Clacton in the USA would probably be Appalachia. Of course that's a mountainous area and not seaside, but that's because of the geographical nature of England compared to the US. From Bald and Bankrupt's video, it seemed a lot of the people in Clacton were refugees from London, displaced. It's very sad to be honest. We're seeing it in the States too. Though the States are obviously much younger, it's sad to see in any Western nation. And it is happening to every Western nation.
It is much sadder to see in a country that has existed for 14 centuries and had a distinct ethnic identity, not just European
Bald even visited the same pub as Dutton did in this clip.
@@marcv2648 I moved to New Hampshire for the same reason, and then in 2018 they began an all out effort to change the state. There's a New York Times article which can be found online titled "New Hampshire, 94 Percent White, Asks: How Do You Diversify a Whole State?" I can promise you no one asked that. I guess your and my area are still better than one of our cities though.
😂Refugees! Oh that's hilarious. Nobody forced them out of London they just didn't like the brown faces and foreign languages popping up.

Oddly, there seems to be very few characters now, people seem to be bland clones, with nothing that stands out about them.
@@joejoejoejoejoejoe4391 So true! Can only ascribe it to the homogenising effect of mass media, perhaps.
It’s not poor genetics, it’s the conditions of life imposed on a once-proud people. The rich and clever are just as unhealthy, if not worse, but they get treated. The grossest thing about this is the sense of sneering superiority. Which I guess is also quintessentially English.
Edward Dutton: patronising and appalling on so many levels, and not exactly a paragon of health or intelligence himself. The subject matter may be interesting but I disagree with his views about the cause of the 'decline' being largely genetic. In my opinion, the causes are predominantly economic and cultural. The worst of upper class obtuseness. I am shocked and depressed by him.
@@tkarzHe looks like a resident ffs. Anyway, your reply looks completely different on the site vs my inbox. I’m going to wean myself off RUclips. If I want to be kept in the dark and gagged, I have better options.
Thank goodness someone has seen this presentation for what it is. I could hardly believe what I was hearing with some of the things he said. Really jaw-dropping.
they're the same here in france and germany too (i get exposed to french and german upper class every day because of where i live and work) , the rich are just as unhealthy and dirty as the classes underneath are they're not better at all. I'm kind of sad to see the brexit didn't really go as planned and didn't change much......
@TattlebotHigher income means you can afford better doctors and have better overall health. But it’s disingenuous to imply that intelligence equals higher income. There’s a small chance it might help you lift yourself out of poverty, and of course most high earners are intelligent. But so are lots of plumbers, waitresses and single moms. Millions of intelligent, strong, beautiful people stay poor because of their backgrounds. Blaming their neglect on their genetics is utterly nauseating.
One thing I have noticed in rural England is the lack of jobs for young people and a corresponding absence of young people and children.
The decline of Clayton and England in general is no accident. The manufacturing jobs for the lower classes have been deliberately moved overseas and mass immigration has served to sharply depress wages for the few menial jobs that remain.
Unlike Australia, England has no mining industries to fall back on leading to the hollowing out of society. Those that can afford to, or have more desire to succeed, have left rural areas and moved to the big cities where there is work. Those remaining are the dregs of society that Europeans would call the ‘Lumpenproletariat’.
I don’t blame the population entirely for their ignorance and laziness as the deliberately poor quality education provided to them serves to dumb the population down and make them apathetic. Provision of welfare to these areas has only encouraged dependency and further exacerbated societal decline.
There is one bright spot though, unlike London, the culture is overwhelmingly and delightfully English. Social bonds are far stronger than in the city and it’s a delight to have a pint in the pub with the locals.
They need back to land movements if they control their own food production they have skin in the game and will smarten up.
Originally agriculture was everything , self sufficient living equaled wealth. Commerce and it's ruin perverted it.
Ask Aristotle, he states commerical society is most perverse.
@@elasticharmony Rural England certainly has the societal (village) infrastructure and the fertility to sustain such a parallel society.
Profoundly sad, but beautiful video. Reminds me of Morgoth. I felt much the same visiting Southend a few years ago. It was rundown, it was crappy, but for all its faults it was England.
I didn't think that Clacton looked too bad to be honest.
It was a very nice day, by the look of it.
I've seen much worse for sure.
Yeah the sun makes all the difference
Come and see for yourself..moved here 18 months ago …from the supposed best part of London?…absolutely love Clacton..wouldn’t go back ❤❤

I was on UC - it wasn't anywhere near £700 a month and you had to sign on at the Job Centre every week and go to Restart every fortnight to tell of everything you had done to find work. They had the idea it should be like a full time job - but unlike a full time job there was no holiday, it was relentless. This 'doing nothing' idea is fallacious.
I figured it out to be roughly an hour of minimum wage per day on UC, though I think you get extra income for dependents so if you'd need to have two or three kids to get up to that income on bennies.
So you have to look for work and fortnightly go down to the job centre and let them know how your getting on ?

There are still quite a lot of towns in parts of the countryside that haven't suffered diversity and where the hotel owners are locals who wouldn't dream of taking the government shilling and ruining the place where they and their friends live. They're not particularly touristy so they never come onto the radar of non locals. I live in a small town that has thriving independent pubs, butchers and even a very successful greengrocer, something I haven't seen elsewhere for decades. It's clean because people are proud of their surroundings and a lot of people know each other. I lived in a similar town in a different county that was very similar. They're out there but the locals are canny enough not to bang on about the location.
The country towns are still beautiful and English. I just hope certain power don’t come and destroy it with D1vers1ty.
I agree all is not lost. There are many such enclaves. The real English people don’t leave. Invest in your community in any way you can, keep them beautiful, attend or form institutions to protect your heritage! don’t atomise or isolate. Support the local high street small businesses and trades owned by locals (not Amazon and big multi nationals) English culture is worthy of protection and preservation.
In my former job, we did a charity event where we took a bunch of underpriviledged kids to clacton to play on the seaside and in the theme park. It is a strange place because it's so beautiful and the day was perfect, you would never think of it as one of the poorest places in the country. I understand why people choose to live there, especially because it's so much cheaper than anywhere else.
This is by far the best bit of television I have seen in years. Really sad obviously but I’m uplifted that the JH thinks like many of the rest of us and is able to articulate and present these thoughts certainly better than I could.
What a sad state England is in. Alfred weeps.
That interaction at the Jaywick "Three Jays" Pub, of Ed with the "Boris Lookalike" reminded me of a bellcurve IQ meme where the two extreme lower and upper ends will agree on something, reaching the same conclusion albeit in different manners and with separate reasoning.
The midwit section of the curve (Previously interviewed university undergrads) finds such ideas abhorrent or will take the socially safe option.
Bingo your discribing COMMONSENSE
Yes. I thought much the same. He wasn't particularly eloquent but still correct.
i think it's because the opposite ends of the spectrum are both much more intellectually fearless than the middle who have to keep up appearances for social approval and to stay in the good graces of society or the state. the lower end might suffer from dunning krugers as a result, but are less reticent to sugarcoat and obfuscate reality, which is a far more useful feature to have than being a midwit.
Thought the exact thing. Was hilarious to see actually.
I might move to Clacton. It seems much friendlier and safer than my town in the North, which has seen a very large influx of foreigners, especially in the last two years. The people living down there might not be very rich, but they do have an environment that doesn't induce the kind of stress and anxiety that living in a cosmopolitan city does.
As Edward strolls around Clacton, casually judging others and declaring the British population are physically and mentally declining, I'm struck by the fact that he is not precisely a genetic paragon himself.
There are many little towns in america whose current population is the result of a severe brain-drain and beauty-drain over 50-60 years. I hadn't thought about it before now but they likely suffer from a health-drain as well.
I went to Southend on Sea a while back which is relatively similar to Clacton (where he is doing this video). The thing that struck me was how ugly everyone was, a real contrast to Bank in central London where everyone is beautiful. Wealth attracts the smart and the beautiful.
@@andrewharris3900 generally, the smart boys leave for better career opportunities, pretty girls leave for better mating opportunities.
I live in a town like that. I moved there on purpose for the natural beauty. Don't even think about finding a good looking female there.
Beautiful work Ed. There's something mysteriously touching to coming to a place to which you have no connection but which feels so familiar as if you're going back to your childhood days. It's hard to fathom how the country could change so much over just 50 years and a little seaside town like this is the only relic - be it a sad and broken one - of a country that once was.
No Ed, we're not all entitled to £700 a month Universal Credit. For a single person over 25 its just over half that amount.

Invasion and swift extinction when some other group thinks they can take you. 90% of all Paraguayan men were wiped out in just 6 years by the Argentines, Brazilians and Uruguayans during the War of the Triple Alliance from 1864 to 1870. Just 50 years before that the Paraguayan leader had instituted a law that prohibited Europeans from marrying one another in Paraguay. They were permitted to marry only natives or Mestizos. Only 50 years later and virtually all of their men had been wiped out by their neighbours. It was very swift in the end.
Weren't there churches around during Darwin's time caring for the poor?
@X786BBF Not non whites with lower iq while native white is also dropping.
Instead of _presuming_ that you are among "the fittest", perhaps you should be grateful to society that _you're_ alive.
You probably ought to _thank your lucky stars_ that society has somewhat mitigated nature's harsh Darwinian conditions.
I went on two proper holidays when I was a kid. We usually went to my aunt's in the country and she came to us in the town. Both of those real holidays were to stay in Clacton for a week. It was a nice place then and I loved it.
It's really sad to watch this and I'm not even British. I honestly hope the UK figures out how to get out of this mess as you haven't passed the point of no return yet unlike the US. You are fast approaching it though. I'm not against immigration and I haven't got a racist bone in my body but my sense is that for a nation to be viable long term it must have at least an 80% indigenous population. Ideally higher than that but once you drop below 80% that is when trouble starts brewing. It is still recoverable as at 75% getting above 80% shouldn't be too hard to do provided there is a will to do so. Sadly I do not see such a will in the UK right now and for the life of me I cannot envision how it is remotely possible to acquire that will in the current paradigm the UK finds itself in. The left has British people cornered with virtually no outs while the political right is spineless and rudderless.
😢 Absolutely right, it is so sad to see 😢
There are people in power that are deliberately destroying it.
We in Britain have never voted for a party that said we will change your country with high immigration. We have many many times elected a party that says it will lower immigration. It was either a lie or an empty promise. Either way, we didn't choose this.
I think Britain is doing great.
I think its great that Black blokes are systematically going round screwing many (not all) Chav White girls on poor run down Council Estates throughout the UK.
It makes me extremely happy that the Whites and Blacks indulge in a lifestyle that makes them happy.
At least they are integrated which is what they always wanted.
The Asians as usual own all the shops.
They are the most hard-working people I've ever seen but they do not speak English very well.
The Romanians form their own little communities and don't really interact with anyone as most of them do not speak English very well either.
The Polish people are very racist towards Blacks and they also form their own little communities.
The main problem is that all the various groups do not interact with each other.
It's mainly only Blacks and Whites who actually interact with each other with most of the interaction being sexual in nature.
Integration can only work when everyone speaks the same language.
If no one bothers to learn to speak English integration will never work.
The Polish people are very hard-working but they are very racist towards Blacks so integration is not possible.
They are also White but they are not Anglo-Saxon so their behaviour is very different from the indigenous British.
The only two groups of people in the entire country of Great Britain that are truly integrated are indigenous British people and Black Caribbean people.
The interaction between these two groups is mainly sexual in nature.
We see this behaviour on poor run down council estates throughout Britain.
90% of Whites girls on Council estates and 10% of White boys on Council Estates will probably be inseminated by a Blackman at some point in their lives.
Whatever makes them happy is cool with me.
Remember that Whites and Blacks ALWAYS wanted sexual integration.
Well, they got what they wanted!
It's always easy to blame the outsider, when in fact the real problem is a technology based problem, if you told the work force in Britain about automation, they would go on strike, but I reality you wouldn't need so many cheap labour and immigration if they embraced automation, and actually if the young generation are willing to work.
The editing and production quality here is top tier tv level stuff.
Well done.
I remember Jaywick as a kid on the caravan site by the Martello Tower, the pub was called The Raven, I think. You could walk around there as a child at night on your own and you were perfectly safe. Don't recognise the beaches though, they must have changed them somewhat. But I loved it there.
This was absolutely fantastic. Super professional. You should be very proud.
Profesional? The man is literally a fascist.
There was a Wimpy in my home town, it got bought by a Turkish takeaway barron years ago. Haven't seen one in a long time. In the towns around where I grew up, I increasingly hear the estury accent. People moved out of London to Essex and now they are moving out of Essex to Norfolk and Suffolk. They are being priced out, moved out or selling out to migrants. But where are they going to go next now that they have reached the sea?
Too true.
Well it's Spain isn't it.
Remembering the old movie "Holiday Camp." Britain was poor but it was still "Family Britain," which is the title of one of David Kynaston's very worthwhile books on life back then.
I have David Kynaston’s books - they are brilliant reads.
Poignant and sorrowful. This could easily be fly-over America where the stock is named Smith, Jones, Williams, etc. They seem about to be erased from the pages of history.
My Mum always had this saying "the world doesn't owe you a living."
So the disabled elderly truck driver isn’t owed anything? The loss of the connected community breeds indifference and hostility to our elders now. It’s sad.
Yes, but the corollary of that is that 'the world' isn't entitled to your time or labor. It cuts both ways.
Would you rather voluntary association or have the government take from you at the barrel of a gun to provide for the elderly?
Would you rather voluntary association or have the government take from you at the barrel of a gun to provide for the elderly?
Yes, my father said that to me, as a teenager in the sixties, ‘tge world doesn’t owe you a living,’ It served me well.
The only problem i had with this documentary, it was too short.
I like how those old pub guys carry themselves.
I was once what you call a Chav, growing up on a Manchester Council estate, but I grew out of it and up until last year lived in a nice suburb of North London, even I rarely go back to where I grew.up. Its strange to me because I now dont fully feel as though I belong in either world, not to the middle classes of Hampstead and Muswell Hill or the lads from the old council estate either.
you have become middle class!
I lived in Clacton and came here every year over the summer as a kid, bloody love the place, moved out due to no work or very little. Would love to move back.
I have this friend who has been out of work for years now and he is in his 20s. He lives mostly on microwave food and McDonald's, goes out drinking almost every weekend (sometimes on weekdays), burns through flimsy relationships with women constantly and is the father of a 10 year old girl.
One phrase I often hear from him is: "I haven't gotten my money from NAV yet." (NAV being the Norwegian public welfare service)
I find this entitlement to the publics welfare utterly disturbing. I am not against public welfare, it can be used for good things, but it is clearly being abused by a lot of people and is in need of a complete overhaul.
I work usually 4x 12 hours on 4 off now my job is easy nights security or fire marshal or warden I changed from engineering. 4 full days off although I lived minimulist and saved most of it I was still on the same money as my nabours ALL OF WHITCH ARE ON BENEFITS. All claiming for illnesses or mental health or alcohol drugs or autism. I now work 4x 9 hours so effectively part time I am now taking home LESS than all of my nabours that don’t work… M the only one who invests saves the only one with a nice bike car and my flat is the most modern and best decorated my ointment I’m better than them. It’s they have no idea about anything at all and are like children and are utterly entiteled
@@audie-cashstack-uk4881This is your general opinion but the root of the problem goes a lot deeper than your observation of them being child-like and entitled.
I had to give up a job and move house because my neighbours were disabled and decided they like to watch TV until 3am and smoke in the toilet keeping me awake.
I asked the council for help but got ignored.
They smoke, have dogs, sky TV, run their own jewellery business and STILL receive multiple benefits.
I despise this country and how easily it hands out cash to people.
Hardworking people using food banks and then you've got scum like them.
It is impossible that welfare isn't abused. It's an incentive to become a loser and will obviously be used by such. Even people with abilities are tempted to become losers to get free stuff for doing nothing. Welfare is pure evil, a sign of a dying society.
Should be compulsory viewing in schools and for every MP
Don't assume MP's are ignorant. They know what is going on.

Come to Clacton 🙌 I really wish that you had interviewed some of the successful people in Clacton. One or two of the many people who are busy building a proper life for themselves and their families. The King Arthurs of Great Britain 🇬🇧
went to Brighton couple of years back. Beach was chocka but barely heard or saw an English person. Large groups of I don't know what sitting around in great circles singing their native songs. Utterly mind blowing.
I've seen that too, but I dont think they are from the Brighton area, I've seen large groups of Asians, Indians etc visiting the town. Probably travelling from the greater London area, maybe Crawley also.
The opposite of places like this is Bath that are filling up with rich English people and segregating with their own class
Yep, Bath has become full of rich London disporia bringing their Islington liberal type ways with them. I hate visiting Bath (my home city) now, a working class Bathonion with a West Country accent is a rariety there now.
Humans are tribal.
Most people would rather be with other people that look like them and are genetically similar.
And there is nothing wrong with that.
@keijak1 yeah I will never be able to return as its too expensive due to London money
@@Chris-pq3wp Not forgetting the fact that many of the lovely Victorian terraced houses have become homes of multi occupancy full of foreign students. That too has totally destroyed the 'feel' of the city and the politics.
One other real British place to visit is the isle of Wight. Breath of fresh air after the increasingly more "cosmopolitan" Southampton on the other side of the Solent. Very interesting documentary thanks
I’m a Londoner born and bred. When foreigners ask me where I’m from they always say “ that’s rare to meet a londoner” and they laugh. Laughing at our self imposed destruction.
It's not self imposed. This is all engineered by a certain group that controls all of our societies.
Very tragic. The British government care not for the natives, they'd rather give all that money to new "migrants"
This is nothing short of profound.
Thank you for making this video about Clacton; it seems everytime I see a video about people walking the streets of the UK and especially London, it seems as if the person is filming in some craphole (there are many crapholes around the world!). THEY've turned most of Europe and the US into violent; rotten; and rapidly dying third world countries. I've seen a very short video of Toulouse in France, and man, does it look like a cross-section between the dark continent and India (certainly NOT France!). Very sad and heart-braking to watch...
You cannot ignore the additives in processed food that effects the brain and help to increase that lack of impulse control. This has been deliberate and the outcomes are obvious in all Western countries.
Intriguing hypothesis
@@niqwalshensemble9164no hypothesis
I come from a town on the coast in the South East, it shocks me when I visit now, the physical state of people. But it's also my favourite place in the world. Life is strange.
This is similar to what people find in Appalachia - yes there is poverty and drug abuse, but the people are proud and close knit. They are friendly and will help whoever needs assistance. Coal mining communities with shared experiences.
Excellent doc. However all is not lost. There are many enclaves of mainly Anglo small towns flourishing. The real English natives, if you wish for England to survive, don’t leave, at the very least move to one these towns if you can. “Dig a trench” there is strength in numbers. join your town council or initiatives, speak up. Invest in your community in any way you can, keep them beautiful, attend or form institutions to protect your Anglo heritage and interests! don’t atomise or isolate. Network and interact. Support the local high street small businesses and trades owned by locals (not Amazon and big globalist multi nationals) Keep money flowing back into your town. English culture is worthy of protection and preservation.
Keep an eye out for any 'community centres' in the planning application pages of your local paper...
Looks like a lot of England outside the big towns and cities
There would be plenty of resources in the UK if you didn't have to share with 8 million non-European colonizers currently occupying UK soil.
If only it was only 8 million. More like 15 million
Its a small thing but good lord Ed the conversations with the lads in the pub tugged the heartstrings. I'm from the north east with similar poverty levels and when i go home especially going to the working mens clubs or the armed forces veterans bar's thats exactly what its like for everyone.
This town is actually more civilized, nice and friendly than "diverse" economic wealthy metropoles like London.
Clacton, fresh air, some of the brighest and best weather in the United Kingdom, cheaper council tax, shopping. Most of all, the people are very very nice, welcoming and humble. The only ones that hurt are the ones that hurt themselves. God bless England. This is coming from someone who is not English!
Yes, St Osyth, which is just down the road, has the driest climate in all of the UK.
There isn't necessarily a correlation between poverty and crime. There are Orthodox Jewish villages in upstate New York which are some of America's poorest places per capita, but they have little crime. It's the people that count and, irrespective of who the people are, the level of homogeneity.
Haiti is homogenous.
@domdom6624 indeed, that's why I said that the people are the main factor.
@@Peter-ov6xh You said "the level of homogeneity" was also a factor. I disagree. A society with an equal mix of white Europeans, east Asians, and Hindu Indians, wouldn't have crime that is significantly higher than a homogenous society of either one of the mentioned group. It will negatively impact social cohesion, but it probably won't affect violent crime without artificially stoked racial hatred.
Likewise, a society that is homogenously Sub Saharan African or homogenously Native American will have a crime rate that isn't any lower than a society with an equal blend of Sub Saharan Africans and Native Americans.
@domdom6624 Fair enough. Perhaps multiculturalism would be more bearable if it involved East Asians and Hindus only but it would still be undesirable imo. Like most of these terms, multiculturalism and diversity usually just refer to blacks and Muslims (in that order).
@@Peter-ov6xh It wouldn't be just undesirable, whites would find an ethnic group to blame all their faults on. Just like how many whites attribute all the sins their documented ancestors did unto the "small hats".
There have always been 'rough' people in Britain - nobody minded when they were cannon or factory fodder.
This is quality content and you captured their/our loss with great respect. Bravo.
Fantastic video, i love your street interviews, you should do more of that type of content Ed. I'm Danish, and we are experiencing alot of the same problems here.
I used to work at a Job Centre. The part where the girl said she had to pay part of her rent with "her own money" was a very common attitude I witnessed. The sense of entitlement was off the scale.
And those visiting you will see your judgmentalism off the scale
@@ZekromReshiramVolt Oh no... anyway.
You need to brush-up on how the Benefits System is applied Edward.
The "Universal" in Universal Credit does not mean what it looks like you think it does.
This is like Paignton in Devon, or St Austell, or a thousand other places. And all of these places are also spilling over in the mainstream middle class areas. A sad picture.
That was really good, thank you for making this.
the latest figure for someone who's ticked all the boxes, is £1600 a month. If you put that person in temporary accommodation, the rent will be paid about £2000 / month, but can be much higher. But, if you work, then need benefits as a safety net, you will get next to nothing. You won't get help with your mortgage, you won't be able to live. It's a game, a career choice.
Yes it’s a game.
Many people get trapped inside the benefits system. It doesn’t always pay to work. Sometimes it’s the only way to find housing or feed a family is to play the game.
Many companies and landlords also capitalise on the benefits system.
Immigration has been capitalised on at the expense of residents that already live there.
You can understand this at the same time as recognising that the woman stuffing hundreds of burgers down her gob shouldn’t be encouraged.
What a brilliant video. Much appreciated, Ed.
You should see Keynsham in the West Country. My husband escaped that dead end hole of a town.
One Ill advised liaison before we met resulted in his daughter, from a 'rough' type, hard as we tried to influence her as she grew up, to show her culture, expand her intelligence, her environment and her mother won - at 16 she's pregnant, much to the delight of her mother and half siblings.. her fate is sealed . As is the fate of her child.. benefits, council flat, no job, no prospects, no ambition, intelligence declining with each generation..
I am 60, and I watch our society decline with dismay. I'm glad I never had my own children now and I'm glad I'm at this end of my own life - I wouldn't be young in this world for anything now.
Interesting did the daughter have kids with an English dude
As an ex-Londoner living in the West Country I look at Keynsham as a pleasant place on the outskirts of Bristol where there are many job great opportunities. People can have all the great things in life available to them such as education and culture but if you don't engage with them you will miss out no matter where you happen to live.
Very intuitive and thought provoking, many thanks
Fantastic insights. I’ll go anywhere with you. More travels please, Mr. Dutton. ❤
I was born in Clacton in the 70’s
Run away from there as a teenager and didn’t return 🤣
at the end he said "too many fish and chip shops"
Clacton is my hometown and despite what you may think it is actually slowly going through a gentrification process, it’s also a pretty nice place to live and the people are extremely friendly. The sense of community is abundant and Jaywick has even just opened a million pound indoor market.
This town does not look that bad really. I dont think its dysgenics per E.D purely though. The smart industrious types are attracted into large cities to perform in the rat race, while small tawns make do with what is left. If not for breeding the wellfare cohort they would sadly be deserted entirely
A lot of them gravitate out of the cities back to the country side or commute , once they’ve made their wealth. These people invest heavily in small towns to keep them beautiful. I have no problem or resentment with the wealthy people invested in my town.
I was on universal credit last year…. Less than £400 a month. NOT £700. I find this chap has no idea and extremely condescending..
Can't get more jolly than this story. Fuck me!
Wow so well produced very thought provoking beautiful documentary
A Childs carer should not be forced to leave her young children to work this is why we have a lot of the social problems we do. Even if it is not the mother one parent needs to be around. Re ready meals not everyone has access to cooking facilities and sometimes are living in transient accommodation. Buying the ingredients for each meal for a single person can get expensive too. If you buy one ready meal you can get quite cheaply and bulk it up with other ingredients to make it go further.
Nicely said xx
CLACKERS! Well, I love Clackers. I love the tattooed grannies. I love the skinny druggies. I love taking a walk along the coast to Jaywick, to experience a genuine shanty town. I love the smell of vintage fat frying. I love stained track-suits. I love torn sofas in front gardens. I love beer at breakfast. I love shoplifters. I love scruffy B&B places with woodchip wallpaper. I love it when everyone just stares at their phones. Clackers will be my holiday distination again this year. It has gone down hill a bit, since the Butlins closed, but I still love it.
This was good Mr Dutton to watch the in-real-life work. Gonna enjoy this series.
thank you for the docu Jolly
Clacton really is not the worst place in the world (during the summer season, anyway). Granted there are a few "eccentric" people with their myriad tattoos and mobility scooters, but all in all it is an underrated holiday destination in my opinion. Weather is pretty much guaranteed to be good (unlike the more popular Devon and Cornwall) and because it is perceived as a rough area, things are very cheap. Nearby Jaywick is certainly a rough place, and to be avoided, but unfortunately Clacton and it's misfit neighbour always gets lumped together.
If you really can't bear to tell your mates you've been to Clacton, then there is always the much more amiable Frinton-on-Sea and Walton-on-the-Naze a few miles up the coast.
Now, Brighton....
There's a Victorian seaside place I wouldn't touch with a bargepole. I was disappointed to discover a couple of years ago that it is a veritable SJW paradise, and ridiculously expensive to boot.
Gary Lineker bummed Jimmy Saville , multiple times.

I wouldn't agree that the pigs got smaller because they were bread incorrectly. The Vietnamese pigs are bread small and this is exactly how the villagers wanted them to be. As civilization declines and is no longer urbanized, large pigs become a problem, first, because you have to eat the whole thing, even though you have no refrigeration, because you can't kill just half of a pig, and second, you need a minimum quantity of pigs for breeding of the stock, smaller pigs allow for preserving of quantity, while decreasing the total mass of the herd. Big pigs are good if you are feeding a larger population, but for survival purposes in small, isolated communities, small pigs are better.
1:07 perfectly epitomises why I won’t ever visit such a place.
