Why do people allways say that.? They are in Stoke. Nobody want to live in Stoke. At one point they were giving the houses away for a pound Nobody wanted them. Those houses are only useful as bricks to build somewhere else. Even if you renovated them they don't have parking. You would have to nock 2 together and use the downstairs of one for parking They are just useless buildings in useless places.

I was born and bred Stoke-on-Trent but luckily for me, just after I turned 30 in 2018, I met my now fiancé and moved to a nice small town, Sandbach, and I’ve not been back since. Stoke was on the decline when I moved but this video, and another one of yours I’ve just watched of you going round Hanley, just shows what a downward spiral Stoke is in. It’s changed so much, fly tipping everywhere, boarded up buildings, buildings that have been knocked down with nothing in its place, homeless addicts living in tents. The state of the place now is shocking and in some ways, heartbreaking to see. I grew up on a council estate, Bentilee, and while I always knew that Stoke wasn’t the biggest or most modern city around, I definitely knew it wasn’t the worst. Once upon a time it was a good city to live and work in, even Hanley wasn’t that bad. But now it’s unrecognisable. What a shame and the government and local council should be ashamed of themselves for letting a good City go to the dogs like this. Happy that I was lucky to get away. Feel sorry for the people still there. Hopefully in the years to come the city can rebuild and turn its fortunes around because the people don’t deserve to live like that.
Hi mate! Hope you are well?! Thanks for coming down to Stoke & showing what has happened to once a great place to live & work! I was the one that asked you to come & show what has happened!! Thanks Phil 🤜❤️

Meanwhile, in that area, there will be people returning to 4 Star hotels after a day out prowling (Or Deliverooing). Their tea will be ready. After that, up to their rooms, heating on full, windows open, for an evening spent browsing the internet. EVERYTHING PAID FOR. No worrying about bills. Never mind, our Tax increases and the pensioners will pay for them.
Billy great work mate , bringing the real stories. I have a regular delivery route around stoke. Am from Merseyside they are lovely people we are similar with our personalities except obviously there funny accents 😂. But they need money spent from government on local areas just like every city . It's a disgrace wheres our tax going? Everyone is skint, I know everyone has a choice with drugs but homelessness shouldn't happen in uk but government dont care . Heartbreaking ❤
No point spending money on Stoke.. the roads around connecting aren't fit for purpose. To get from one end of the city to the other after work is around an hour. You can drive to north Manchester in that time or Birmingham from Junction 15
Billie, just found your channel. what a really open and honest view of life in the darker spots of our country. Thanks for showing it all as is really is, in many towns up and down. Keep up the the content, raising awareness of the issues that many people face when dropping out of the system as such. You are making a very positive impact and giving a voice to those that many would rather pretend do not exist. Thank you in my own small way sir
They did get money, it went on new council offices and pretty sculptures on roundabouts. I mean, why should they try and actually help the people when they can look after number 1. Stoke council are probably the most corrupt council in the country and have been for a number of years. Actual scum
They got some nice paving stones. My local council is doing the town centre new paving stones. Of all the things they think of spending money on. 🙄 Town centre is a dive. But now a pavement for the homeless or beggars to sit on.
If they don't WASTE the money they don't get the budget for next year unreal mon. That stupid fecking metal tree on the edge of forest Park going into hanley over £100.000. sound
Monkey dust seemed to become a thing after meow meow lost its place. That's how I remember but probably wrong bearing in mind I'm 15 years clean. Keep up the great work Billy.
Billy you will find these places in every town, always tucked up away from others.cos inside these people are ashamed to be in that position. I know as that was me once .. heart breaking no body wants to help Billy NOBODY
There's absolutely thousands of Tom's and Michelle's in every town and city in Britain, and getting more and more everyday, let down by our own government, 💯💯👌.

@@yetidodger6650Folk still believe in 'voting'? That is the definition of insanity through mind control. There is no left nor right in WEFminster. Only up and down.
Is that yak yak land ? . At the bottom of hanley ? . Hanley has turned into a shit hole and the council just put art on the walls to make the place pretty ! . Stoke on trent city council have a lot to answer for .
Liked and subbed.. its so refreshing to see a video thst respects people's privacy and didn't show their face. You were so kind to them and on a down to earth level.. that's so raw this video and so sad our country is becoming like this.
Vast wealth in this country, and yet human beings live in these conditions. A society that allows this to happen doesn't deserve to be called a society.
all the wealth is kept down the south east, and the ponces point the blame of poverty at brexit as if we've forgotten house prices doubled after 2008 or something
And kier Starmer had to go stay in that 18 million pound pent house away from his lovely neighbourhood so his son was safe and could study in peace. Is he for real considering how a lot of people have to live. So infuriating.
Love the videos Billy... Im Stoke born and bred, Hanley used to be ok 15/20 years ago, especially nightlife, but as you saw in your previous video around the old Chicago Rock, all the bars are boarded up. Absolutely run down now. Also, take care out there, I know you can handle yourself, but you never know whats hiding inside the tents etc.. All the best and keep up the good work 👍🏻👍🏻
I live in a village about ten miles but a whole world away, it makes me sick as I'm surrounded by people with 7 bed houses and more money than they know what to do with (not me) and this is what's happening within 15 minutes drive away, we have lost all humanity to leave people like this, I promise I will go over with a bag of shopping and try and help them, shame on Stoke City Council
OMG I ABSOLUTELY FEEL FOR THESE PEOPLE ON THE STREETS TOM AND MICHELLE SEEM A DECENT COUPLE WHY DO THESE CAMPS GET BURNT DOWN THESE PEOPLE HAVE NOTHING THERE ONLY ESCAPE IS DRUGS I NEVER LOOK DOWN AT THESE PEOPLE BECAUSE I WAS NEARLY THERE MYSELF THEY NEED HELP OFF THE GOVERNMENT ASAP 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢 BECKY 🇬🇧 XX
We saw 5 minutes of them. Not enough to get a good judge of character. A lot of these people are kicked out of shelters for violence, drug use, theft, assaults against women. If you're in a tent generally you've exhausted all other options. Unfortunately this often stems from years of generational abuse leading to people that are near impossible to fix.
campsite with toilets / showers is a tenner a night. in true government style the dole could buy a field and set up their own business profiting from their own benefits payments to these people, provide mail boxes, an address, have a farm shop, charge extra for an allotment with an offer of buying produce. fresh air, walking. vs a shop doorway or horrible & expensive hostel
There is no one to protect and asure your ideas. Great ideas, but te oriblem is that there too many who nolonger give a fuck about themselves or others. Invest in good boots and skill up to protect them being taken from you 😉👍
Really scares and upsets me this, its my future, im a 45 year old loser with mental health problems and live with my mum as her carer, shes not well and going to die soon and when she does im not going to cope alone with no income and im already considering ending it now. I respect These homeless people because they seem to have a strength i just cant find. Thanks for what you do Billy👍
I was in a similar situation to you, for gods sake make sure your on the rent book before your mum passes away I had to leave a house I'd lived in for 50 years
It is a big challenge, but it is also important tat you have frinds to give you moral support and a aemblence of community you can all share. Sorry to hear of your mums situation. That only makes it more complex and perhaps more urgent that you hook up with stronger people. Weaker people will use you, but they too need help too. Get your community together before the system cons you out of the position you are in. You cant sink your life boat at expense of jumping in to save others. God bless you.
Monkey Dust aka MDPHP is the worst and I mean the worst drug anyone could be addicted to. The short duration of the extreme high coupled with the extreme psychosis that comes after makes it the perfect storm. I'm familiar with the drug and know enough about it to stay tf away.

Yes, because the Tories didn't fail at all in the last 15 years! You can't blame a govt that has been in power for 3 months for all the ills of a nation. It's preposterous.
Thanks Billy, an excellent post as always. Every time I watch one of your videos it touches all my emotions. Keep up the good work and stay safe out there.
@@DeptofCultivation not really 20 years ago even 15 years ago Hanley used to be a busy place with loads of shoppers but once the dust came and all the imported homeless from Manchester and Liverpool it fucked the city centre up all most over night as nobody wants to shop there anymore due to all the dust heads walking round the place
Respect Bill for showing the real nitty-gritty side of Great Britain while everyone else turns a blind eye. This is real life for alot of brits and sadly addicts who are now at the bottom of society. I see this becoming more and more frequent. A safe and stable place to live is something we all take for granted. Its hard out here everyday just trying to get by. Dont get me started on these invaders but the government need a hard look at whats really going on out here. Infact Bill, you should send this video to the local MP of that area. " look at the streets, look at the people, they need help!" Do it in every town you visit.. everyone's should expose how the government is failing its own people. 1 small act of kindness can make a massive difference. Alot of eyes are opening to this shit mate.
I've always been against the possibility of legalising drugs. The sad fact is we've lost our fight against the drugs war. Some of the people we are seeing in this video and others like it have fallen a few rungs down the ladder from what is acceptable in society. Living in squalor with no hope and using a new generation of drugs with unknown consequences is grim. Our cities and towns are in need of a massive reform.
I disagree. Drugs should be legalised. In every country that has legalised drugs you see less crimes related to drug use, you see a huge reduction in long term addiction, you see less organised crime syndicates making money from vulnerable people. You see less violent crimes as often violent crimes are related to drugs and gangs selling drugs. I could mention many positive outcomes in countries where drugs are legal. One of the biggest positives is you don’t see any where near as many people on the streets off their head on these newer drugs like spice.
Anyone that wants to legalise drugs has obviously never had addicts as neighbours... The 24/7 disregard for neighbours wouldn't end because they could buy them legally.It would be an even bigger hell because there would be no recourse.
@@peachmelba1637 Why would there be no recourse? And you wouldn't just pop down the corner shop for some heroin, you'd have to go to a safe centre with medical staff on hand and take it there. Get involved in crime? Straight to the nick. Same as they've started to do in some US cities/states. Unfortunately we are always 10 - 15 years behind the States so we both know what's coming and how bad things will get before the politicians bother to do ANYTHING except pay tributes to the latest famous person who's passed :(
@@kimchi_b Yeah, if we want to see the future of England, we just have to look at America. Controlled environment and specialist staff are key. Our present situation is untenable.
It's already been proven that if you educate kids early, 7 year olds, against drugs, it reduces the number of users when they get older. A 15 minute teaching slot against drug use, once a week would cost next to nothing. But MPs kids don't go to inner city schools.
Absolutely shocking, sorry folks from stoke but you guys have it a lot worse compared to other parts of the country.Definitely in the top 5 places of the UK that the government has neglected,I'm just sat here completely shocked by all of what I'm seeing here.
funny you mentioned that but i found out that council tax goes into a government account and not the local council. they then pick and choose who to give the money to
@@SuperEartherall the problems in our towns and cities are caused by central government who believe that making money gambling on the stock market is more important than providing jobs and homes for the people.
we really don't some proper shitholes far worse than stoke ,its very easy to portray a one-sided narrative of a place but stoke still has some very nice areas ,our highstreets are no worse than many other northern towns which have been neglected by countless governments
Thatcherism. Asset stripped the country, privatised everything that’s not nailed down and run your manufacturing into the ground. Doing it all wrapped in the Union Jack.
Your Empire that used to supply all the wealth declined now you have to rely upon yourself rather than the resources of your dominions.also you give way too much money to your inbreed hereditary royalty, whose family fights caused WW1 that nearly bankrupted you
Born and bred in Stoke but moved away a few years ago.Its always had a few problems but consider Stokies some of the friendliest and most down to earth people you can meet,sad to see how downhill its gone .
Good reporting on a very sad situation in the uk unbelievable and shocking😮is there no help from authorities?, They're so quick to help all the migrants this government yet not our own uk people born bred🙄☹️
The amount of "so called Brits" how about standing up on your own feet and NOT expecting anyone to look after you, How about all the forgotten British values of had work, respect and doing your best. This country is messed up because people EXPECT govt to look after you when you DO NOTHING.....its outrageous behaviour. Modern day brits are so ungrateful and do not realise how many prividliges they have , yet many play the VICTIM Card. Its an embarrassment!
Love watching your channel billy, you show the raw and real side to life. It’s heartbreaking to see some of the people on here in their situations and how bad things can get for people. It keeps me out of trouble and makes me continue to make positive decisions that will hopefully not lead me to a negative lifestyle. I appreciate your vids.
@@Mike-ek6op what a dumb comment. There are lots of various benefits including housing benefits to “ help our own “ And guess who fiddle benefits more than anyone ? White British people.
Thank you Billy, The disparity in the UK is sickening. I just cannot believe how such young life's are wasted theses days. The government seem more interested in lining there own pockets than helping people. Shame on the the politicians of all colours.
A place is only as good as the people living in it. If they have no respect for where they live then this is what happens. Cleanliness cost nothing. They are given benefits and housing without having to work for it. This leads to them not appreciating what they have. I hope you are good Billy. Keep up the good work. I hope that couple in that tent get help
yeah, this makes me mad, and somehow they all have cars, every jobless house with its car outside. get channelled through the benefits system, get schooling, nhs dentists. house and enough money to live on and all without a word of english and having contributed nothing, while those that have worked and contributed all their working lives can't afford or get access to f***all. i want a refund !
Agreed to an extent mate. But what about nornal working people in the area? Not everyone from their is on the stuff. Councils do not put money where they should neither. Yeah the addicts only themselves blame. But theres more to the story than what you are saying
Maybe the council should employ working-class folk to sweep the streets/spray the weeds rather than wasting the money on middle-class Labour w-anchor designer types and their hugely expensive so-called ‘public realms’, such as at 14:40, which always fall into disrepair because councils live beyond their means?
Thanks for the vid as usual Billy, absolutely shocking state of affairs though mate, I thought it was bad 20 odd years ago when I was homeless, but this is just something else mate, take care on them streets though lad, I know you can handle yaself, but some of these ppl would stab you up for ya camera and ya valuables, stay safe 👌💯💯🙏.
It’s horribly sad because the support and help people get isn’t all done at the same time. There is no package of care for these people when they do try to reintegrate so even though there is help on one side it fails on the other. For some just being given a council house is not enough, there has to be a huge amount of additional support to go with it, but because all the mental health services are underfunded they cannot cope. It’s a sad state of affairs and I can only assume it will get worse. Amazing work you do mate, keep showing this stuff so people see it.
Meanwhile over the water from Lpool the Village Hotel , which is at least a 4 star is home to many people who aren’t British . It’s an absolute disgrace but that is Britain in 2024.😥. I am not far right I’m just right . Go and see for yourself if you doubt what I say.
I grew up not far from Stoke in the next county, and expect its much the same across the country. Rich exploiting the poor and disposing of them when got their riches from their labour. I took the step to nature and glad I did, not all glitters is gold or the latest car, phone, etc.
What’s is happening to this country?.the state of this country =this is real England ,real content !.the government needs to sort it out..but fuelling tax payers money to fight a war is more important to them..we all know It’s a fraction of that cost if they put it into England =housing,drug rehabilitation etc etc etc..to much to say..
The government are right to put money into fighting Putin.,As for money. We’d have more than enough money for the government to be spending money on the things this country needs like affordable housing and fixing the NH S if they taxed the richest more. Simple as that
people should bare in mind he is recording the shit parts of stoke, it gets better the further out of the town centre you get as it does in most cities, it's just most cities have a good city centre with a decent night life where stoke no longer has, it used to be great around 15 to 20 years ago
Lots of nice areas around ,the city centre and Cobridge -Shelton etc have always had problems for a long time -but even with the good areas in stoke it doesn’t excuse the state of our city centre ! The council and MPs should be ashamed !!!
Jane ashworth 😒 goes on radio stoke saying things are being done....like what????? She already admitted they wasted money building that car park now our tax gone up and we have brown bin charges to pay for something we didn't want or need!!!!

Billy great work mate , bringing the real stories. I have a regular delivery route around stoke. Am from Merseyside they are lovely people we are similar with our personalities except obviously there funny accents 😂. But they need money spent from government on local areas just like every city . It's a disgrace wheres our tax going? Everyone is skint, I know everyone has a choice with drugs but homelessness shouldn't happen in uk but government dont care . Heartbreaking ❤
Taxes go to migrant hotels and Ukraine, sickening it is.
people need to sort things out themselves, not relying on councils, government etc
No point spending money on Stoke.. the roads around connecting aren't fit for purpose. To get from one end of the city to the other after work is around an hour. You can drive to north Manchester in that time or Birmingham from Junction 15

Billie, just found your channel. what a really open and honest view of life in the darker spots of our country. Thanks for showing it all as is really is, in many towns up and down. Keep up the the content, raising awareness of the issues that many people face when dropping out of the system as such. You are making a very positive impact and giving a voice to those that many would rather pretend do not exist. Thank you in my own small way sir
The forgotten city. I see that levelling up money from the government went straight into someone else’s pocket..
Seems like they levelled down instead of up …shameful .
Stoke got money from the Gov? Ate you kidding me? What happened?
They did get money, it went on new council offices and pretty sculptures on roundabouts. I mean, why should they try and actually help the people when they can look after number 1. Stoke council are probably the most corrupt council in the country and have been for a number of years. Actual scum
They got some nice paving stones. My local council is doing the town centre new paving stones. Of all the things they think of spending money on. 🙄 Town centre is a dive. But now a pavement for the homeless or beggars to sit on.
If they don't WASTE the money they don't get the budget for next year unreal mon. That stupid fecking metal tree on the edge of forest Park going into hanley over £100.000. sound

We saw 5 minutes of them. Not enough to get a good judge of character. A lot of these people are kicked out of shelters for violence, drug use, theft, assaults against women. If you're in a tent generally you've exhausted all other options. Unfortunately this often stems from years of generational abuse leading to people that are near impossible to fix.
campsite with toilets / showers is a tenner a night. in true government style the dole could buy a field and set up their own business profiting from their own benefits payments to these people, provide mail boxes, an address, have a farm shop, charge extra for an allotment with an offer of buying produce. fresh air, walking. vs a shop doorway or horrible & expensive hostel

It is a big challenge, but it is also important tat you have frinds to give you moral support and a aemblence of community you can all share.
Sorry to hear of your mums situation. That only makes it more complex and perhaps more urgent that you hook up with stronger people. Weaker people will use you, but they too need help too.

Monkey Dust aka MDPHP is the worst and I mean the worst drug anyone could be addicted to. The short duration of the extreme high coupled with the extreme psychosis that comes after makes it the perfect storm. I'm familiar with the drug and know enough about it to stay tf away.

Hi bill Ive lived stoke all my life but it started going downhill when the monkey dust was introduced in the city,
Went down hill before that 😢
@@DeptofCultivation not really 20 years ago even 15 years ago Hanley used to be a busy place with loads of shoppers but once the dust came and all the imported homeless from Manchester and Liverpool it fucked the city centre up all most over night as nobody wants to shop there anymore due to all the dust heads walking round the place
Getting about a lot recently Billy.stay safe out there. Keep it up keeping us informed 🤝
Respect Bill for showing the real nitty-gritty side of Great Britain while everyone else turns a blind eye. This is real life for alot of brits and sadly addicts who are now at the bottom of society. I see this becoming more and more frequent. A safe and stable place to live is something we all take for granted. Its hard out here everyday just trying to get by. Dont get me started on these invaders but the government need a hard look at whats really going on out here. Infact Bill, you should send this video to the local MP of that area. " look at the streets, look at the people, they need help!" Do it in every town you visit.. everyone's should expose how the government is failing its own people. 1 small act of kindness can make a massive difference. Alot of eyes are opening to this shit mate.
it's no longer Stoke On Trent, it's Stoke On Dust
I've always been against the possibility of legalising drugs. The sad fact is we've lost our fight against the drugs war. Some of the people we are seeing in this video and others like it have fallen a few rungs down the ladder from what is acceptable in society. Living in squalor with no hope and using a new generation of drugs with unknown consequences is grim. Our cities and towns are in need of a massive reform.
I disagree. Drugs should be legalised. In every country that has legalised drugs you see less crimes related to drug use, you see a huge reduction in long term addiction, you see less organised crime syndicates making money from vulnerable people. You see less violent crimes as often violent crimes are related to drugs and gangs selling drugs. I could mention many positive outcomes in countries where drugs are legal. One of the biggest positives is you don’t see any where near as many people on the streets off their head on these newer drugs like spice.
Anyone that wants to legalise drugs has obviously never had addicts as neighbours... The 24/7 disregard for neighbours wouldn't end because they could buy them legally.It would be an even bigger hell because there would be no recourse.
@peachmelba1637 I agree. I honestly don't know the answer, but what we are seeing in our towns and cities is beyond belief.
@@peachmelba1637 Why would there be no recourse? And you wouldn't just pop down the corner shop for some heroin, you'd have to go to a safe centre with medical staff on hand and take it there. Get involved in crime? Straight to the nick. Same as they've started to do in some US cities/states. Unfortunately we are always 10 - 15 years behind the States so we both know what's coming and how bad things will get before the politicians bother to do ANYTHING except pay tributes to the latest famous person who's passed :(
@@kimchi_b Yeah, if we want to see the future of England, we just have to look at America. Controlled environment and specialist staff are key. Our present situation is untenable.
It's already been proven that if you educate kids early, 7 year olds, against drugs, it reduces the number of users when they get older. A 15 minute teaching slot against drug use, once a week would cost next to nothing. But MPs kids don't go to inner city schools.
Absolutely shocking, sorry folks from stoke but you guys have it a lot worse compared to other parts of the country.Definitely in the top 5 places of the UK that the government has neglected,I'm just sat here completely shocked by all of what I'm seeing here.

Broken country,I live in council estate and is getting bad , local council don't do anything to improve it❤
It’s horribly sad because the support and help people get isn’t all done at the same time. There is no package of care for these people when they do try to reintegrate so even though there is help on one side it fails on the other. For some just being given a council house is not enough, there has to be a huge amount of additional support to go with it, but because all the mental health services are underfunded they cannot cope.
It’s a sad state of affairs and I can only assume it will get worse.
