thanks for this vlog and the link .... very worthy, well done
Amazing. Earl is such an awesome, courageous man. May he continue with his incredible mission. Hope the north of England gets the attention it deserves ❤
He is more than awesome. Earl should be prime minister for UK.
Hope is not a plan
The fact that at the time of writing this comment there are 0 dislikes show that there are a lot of people out there who are ready to hear the struggles of men in our society. If you are a man and reading this, never be afraid to open up. I'm feeling like a much more stronger, capable man for having done it, especially in front of those closest to me (other men and women alike).
It's NOT shown to the Public anymore , Isn't it ???!
BS if you want to know who's actually struggling, go look up who Is taking all the antidepressants.
Capitalism just ruins everything.
Never say never
Great job Earl! You're doing an amazing thing there, stay strong!!
Great initiative - well done all for sharing with and caring for each other
Why would you film all of that and not let the man say his poem at the end?
Im so proud my late father. Was from south shields. The. Best kind of people😊😊😊
This is brilliantly done. I am proud of Earl, despite having never met him. Like him, I use my lived experience of severe mental illness to help and support others overcome their mental health issues. I am lucky to do it for my job.
I really feel for Earl and his community. They feel abandoned by our government and this is shameful. As the interviewees articulated, this financial crisis is having a detrimental effect on many people's mental health.
The way that Earl was stigmatised for being an addict is horrifying.
Drug and alcohol addicts still face a lot of stigma. We need to continue public education on addiction and treat it as a Psychosocial issue.
Earl is very brave for sharing his story. He's been through so much trauma, I've no doubt he will help many people and hopefully his actions will result in change.
We stand with you North and South Shields!
Thank you that really means a lot to me and others that will read this ❤️👊👊
How sad to see how far North Shields Fish Quay has declined. When I was younger my grandad would take me to the Quay and it was heaving with folk bidding and boats tethered and all the surrounding industry, the ice works, the kipper smoking chimneys and the smells. What a sad sign of the times...keep up the good work lads.
The Tory party did this to me in the. NHS. Closed. Our. Hospital😢
It really does help to share. Good luck to you guys🌎💙☀️
The uk is NOT POORER, the rich in this country have never been richer, our own prime minister is a multi millionaire. STOP LYING.
Both of your assertions can be true at the same time. The super rich are getting richer, and the rest are getting poorer. UK as a whole is indeed getting poorer.
@@todtnau the uk as a whole is getting richer, a majority of us is getting poorer because a small minority are taking all the profits. Let’s just say the middle class have had their pockets squeezed and now they know what it feels like for the rest of us already struggling before Covid, high inflation etc etc. but you know, I can still get my small violin out.
@@todtnau the UK remains one of the richest societies in human history
@@MrHorserider15 Before 2016, UK's GDP was 90% of Germany's. Now it's close to ~60%. So the UK as a whole is definitely getting poorer in relative terms.
Good on ya Earl!! What a great initiative n using ur experiences to help other men who are struggling is a huge thing to be proud of..well done to u :)
I like South Shields. Pleasant place, nice people
I hate how they just call it mental health. Its mental health issues.
Very much needed in every country. Men need help. Their desperation comes out as violence, depression, addiction, etc. Glad to see a healthy approach. Men need supportive male friends.
No one cares tho. As a make with severed depression no one truly cares or understands
Powerful stuff, we’ll done done Earl and great to see so many familiar faces. You’ll be getting more views than Liam and Sam put together 😂
😂😂😂😂😂
There absolutely need to be more tech and work from home jobs in the North East, and in the north in general. And more training opportunities, schemes. This won't fix everything, but I still see many jobs advertised that could be done fully remotely but they are in London, having to go to the office at least several times per week. With a completely overheated housing market, having to rent a room. Many jobs could be done fully remotely on a "London salary" while living in the North East. It would improve so much. Newcastle and the North East are trying to become a big UK hub for technology at the moment.
Why fade out Earl's poem at the end?
Wow what a top guy good on him ❤️🙏 he’s helping so many 🙏
Great people😊
Bring in more immigration that will help
Inspiring, Earl! Thank you!
the UK remains one of the richest societies in human history
Thank you😊❤

Thank you
Awesome video! Good lads! Hope in the midst of despair@
So true well done to him
Thank you, Earl.
Mental health is really important as are celebrities that choose to avoid tax and then bleat on about how awful the public are....they are legion in their disrespect, no matter how many begging videos they make
Beautiful.
Of course the U.K. is growing poorer. A lot of the same guys would have voted for Brexit too. I empathise of course….
Ante este caos social y lideres políticos que solo piensan en su propio provecho y el de sus pares, queda la solidaridad humana como el primero y el ultimo recurso.
Correcto.
Unless it’s voting time
Earl is great. May god bless them.
RISHI IS A MULTIMILLIONAIRE AND THE 1% HAVE GOTTEN RICHER ?!
Elect torys one more time
They don't need therapy, but money.
Both would help
@@holeefuk413 therepy doesn't buy you food. Money does.
I'm braced off😮

❤
Happing. In loads of towns and city's. In uk. And us😮

To all. The. People. Who voted Tory. Are. You loving. Your. Hyped Electricity bills. And gas bills. Oh. Well. The. Did. Close. The coal mines😢
Nigel, this is the modern paradigm - you can't vote your way out of it.
They are reaping what they sowed
I am having a hard time with the accent.
Members of the. House of lords on £3 500 a fay😮
Hhaaaa the. World's. Gone nuts. Hhaaaaa😊
What a load of rubbish! 😂😂😂
'Cost of living' crisis?!
It's actually a 'cost of government' crisis
Torys ruling for nearly 2 decades
Whatelse do you expect
so y do they work dead end jobs
?
The dead end jobs are way more important to our society than the made up white collar jobs are lol. And I say that as someone at the white collar level.
1-We are not all intelligent people. We dont have a clue how to start and run a business and without making on your own, your at the mercy of employers.
2- Alot of people dont want to work atall and are forced into the deadend job.
3- lack of training opportunities. Home commitments, travel costs and many other reasons stopping people being able to train into a job that pays
I know.
Why don't they all just become bankers?
Problem solved.
Since. They. Closed. The. Mines. A polar bear moved in my bathrooom😊
Vey weird accent
can brtish people from other parts of UK understand it?
More so than you
Thank you
