The story of Stoke is the same as every place like it in England. And the places surrfering the most under the increasing weight of immigration whilst already struggling with unemployment and all the socioeconomic issues that come with it. Its truly a disgrace. We need to take this country back for real. 🏴
I moved away from Stoke just over a year ago after living there all my life. It broke my heart to see the deterioration over time. It began when all the industries shut down- the pottery factories, the mines and the steelworks. No one had any money to spend. The death knell came when there was an influx of immigration. Low property prices attracted slum landlords to house the new arrivals. Plus social housing for the homeless druggies all meant a huge change in the demographics. The population are all low income and don't spend money around the town so shops and pubs close down. So sad but for a city centre it is desolate and disgraceful.
@@hmq9052I've known Stoke to be a sh*thole my entire life. Perhaps if Brexit had been implemented properly, there wouldn't be so many foreigners there.
@@christophergibson3846 Stoke is 83 percent white, and 9-10 percent Asian and Asian British. Leaving the EU actually means we're importing more non EU citizens than before. So I guess it depends what sort of foreigners you'd like. We definitely need some. To pay our pensions in later life and work in our factories. We also need doctors and nurses. Waiters. Bar staff. Fruit pickers. Abbetoir workers. Road sweepers. The list goes on.
**Stoke-on-Trent decline is NOT because of migrants.** The loss of traditional industries like pottery, coal and Shelton Bar steelworks, led to widespread unemployment and reduced incomes. The impact of 40 thousand job losses had a ripple effect, reducing spending and weakening the local economy. High levels of unemployment and hardship have contributed to social challenges which includes *OUTMIGRATION* of younger, skilled workers and the aging population. Online shopping and out of town retail centres massively reduced the traditional shopping in Hanley and MANY other towns in the UK. Many shops closed due to the decline in shoppers which has led to vacant shops and less appealing town centres. Stoke-on-Trent has struggled to to attract new investment to replace lost industries which means less jobs and a lack of modernisation, contributing towards the perception of "Stoke Died Suddenly". We are all accountable for the downturn in high street businesses.
Having lived in Stoke for the past 12 years, I am so looking forward to moving away in the next few months. As you rightly pointed out Hanley is an absolute shock, open drug taking wherever you look, decay and hardship are everywhere. I didn't like the place when I came here, my wife is a Stokey and she is also ashamed of the place. Many people here are very warm hearted and helpful but the town centres have been left to rack and ruin. Unfortunately, this is one of many towns across the UK which have been forgotten.
Back in the early 2000's, when I was in college, here in Spain the UK was considered by far the coolest country in Europe. A place where business were thriving and all sorts of cutting-edge cultural acts happened all the time. Going to live there, for at least some months, was almost a mandatory experience for any young person I don't know if the situation now is so dire as videos like this shows but undoubtedly nowadays among the spanish young people the UK has lost a lot of appeal to live in, even London. I hope the UK will be back on tracks soon
Stoke has always been a hole: one of Britain’s least attractive cities. Wasn’t much different forty years ago though the streets weren’t quite as deserted.
I live here and i can tell you it’s a shit hole. Full on empty shops, homeless people, drug addicts, run down properties, immigrants, the list is endless.Depressing place to live.
On the other hand, you can buy a house for bugger all fairly close. You don't actually have to go to the city centre. As our host says, there is some glorious countryside about.
'this town is coming like a ghost town' ..... so bleak & sad & heartbreaking to see the once great industrial backbone of Britain that was 'The Potteries' in this state.... i lived & worked there for a few years, not a native Stokie but have great affection for the place & always will.... ❤
its the by design bioweapon that the worlds population of poor tele watching zombies were convinced would save them if only they stayed inddors and took the jab? Died suddenly
I left Stoke over 40 years ago and headed down under to Australia, the best decision I ever made. From what I hear from people who have gone back for a visit the whole of the UK appears to be a disaster that will never recover.
What you're doing for your country, going around filming and documenting is pretty remarkable as Britain (and other countries) needs to be cherished and respected. There are sadly a lot of places in Britain which don't really feel or look British (or even European/Western) so much so people don't feel safe in said areas. Furthermore, whether the British like Farage or not, he's their best chance at salvaging Britain because Labor/Tory are practically the same thing (one worse than the other). Nearly every Western country is going through this... The migrant problem.
@@GoingGlobull Thanks to your last video i learned about the place where winston churchill was born and raised, if it wasn't for your videos i dont know how long it would've took me to read about that fact, perhaps i never would've learned it, so please do keep up your videos!
Philip i wouldn't waste your time paying attention to electoral politics. Reform & Farage are essentially Tory lite. If an exceptional man who really cared about his country came forward the system would find a justification to ban him or his party from running or they would simply infiltrate the party. No one is budging the permanent state/bureaucracy.
If you think every western countries goes trough this. Your delusional I live in the Netherlands. We don’t have close shops and drug addicts everywhere. It’s the racist countries who struggle right now. Look a bit like karma.
@@windsorSJthats exactly my point. I used to order in their official website but after brexit they only ship in UK. As a Spaniard I cant order more from the factory
If people stopped spending money on foreign holidays used the high street it would soon change for the better. So many people I speak too say they live in poverty but can afford to jet off on holiday 3-4 times a year
And stop shopping online. A lot of people who say they are living in poverty still have big TVs, drink alcohol and smoke, get their nails done, and buy takeaway.

Yes Reform wants to drastically reduce income tax and NI. The way they want to do it is by a 'radical overhaul' of the NHS. In normal English, Reform want to completely privatise it. They also want to leave the UN convention of Human Rights. Fair enough, if you do not give a shit about 10's of millions of people around the world. I can't argue about that but employment rights are linked to human rights and as much as Reform say they are for the 'working person' I don't trust them considering they're funded by Richard Tice who has serious links to offshore tax havens.
@@GoingGlobull seriously ..come down again and I can show you around stoke..you were in Hanley, there are 6 towns in Stoke, all in some form of decline, but there are some great parts too
Cheers, but it’ll have to be one for the future. I’m going to do one more video in England as I can’t leave it on this. I’ll be focusing on the positives and summarising my time back home before I head abroad
Damn shame. I grew up close to Stoke, went there many times in the 90's, it was a lively and bustling place, I've got some fond memories. Nowadays I very occasionally get there for a gig at the Sugarmill and it's just shocking how the place has deteriorated.
I'm from Belgium and i recognize allot of things in smaller local cities. Online shopping has created many empty buildings. It happens everywhere. If there is any new business it's likely to be some kind of food place. The drug & homeless problems we mostly see only in big cities like Brussel, Antwerp though.
It's on the Govt website. 78% Moslem women claim benefits. Over 50% moslem men are claiming. And the so called illegal moslems arriving everyday, put in hotels, given phones, bicycles, days out. In house Dr & dentist etc etc etc are costing us 15 million per day. @@Mark.H3721

There are a few nice pieces of traditional architecture. The boarded up ones could be fixed up nicely, but for that to work we would, of course, after demolish all the modern monstrosities. But common sense is not commonly accessible it seems.

I met a few people from Stoke and all wonderful people. With so many people WFH, why for so many firms still in London and the South East. Stoke is only 2 hours by train from London. They move to places like Stoke.
Not only Stoke, literally every town and city in the county. Systematically ground down over decades, by every council/government that's existed.

Stoke is labour strong hold. Enough said. Don't if people are waking up yet but round they still believe labour (socialism) is for the working class. Haha!
@@Mark.H3721 you believe that? haha, and yes communism is for the workers, diversity and inclusion is our strength, net zero is about the environment, positive discrimination is a good thing, black lives matter is about fighting racism and islam is a religion of peace. You believe all that do you? The left is very good with manipulating words. Socialism is about equality in poverty thats Why stoke will never improved.
Stoke elects 3 MPs.. all were Conservative in the 2019-24 Parliament. It's hardly a stronghold for Labour.. Manchester and Liverpool are because even in bad elections for Labour they sweep the board. But not in Stoke.
It's the same all over the country don't blame labour, the tories have trashed the UK with unnecessary austerity. Dodgy Dave and Osborne should be in prison for killing thousands with unnecessary austerity.
A lot of the villages surrounding Stoke on Trent and Newcastle under Lyme have loads and loads of British flags flying, it just seems to be the town centres that are absolute shit holes.
Towns and cities grew with industrialisation. Cottage industries were wiped out by factories. Farms needed less manual labourers thanks to machinery. People moved out of smaller towns, villages and hamlets and in to industrial areas, often creating slums, to live by the new work. But deindustrialisation happened and all these towns with a population density originally attracted by work suddenly have no jobs. So what do we do next as a country? Employment opportunities in more modern times became massively too focused on London, creating the dreaded ‘commute to work’ as we can’t all live near our employer, with much of the country left behind. People ether need to move to wherever (???) the new centres of employment are and let these towns die, or somehow establish new jobs (easier said than done) in these post industrial towns. I presume that’s what government empty waffle about ‘levelling up’ means
Bro I've a friend which she moved from London to Stoke due the rent price , she told that she used to rent a studio flat in London for the same money she rents a two bedroom apartment in Stoke. I don't know if that's the difference ABT rent. Cheers from Toronto mate

It isn't that bad mate I'm sick of this selective footage to make it look worse then it is. I live in stoke and I'll tell you now it's nowhere near as bad as these RUclipsrs make it out to be majority of the time
Stoke is a huge place, Hanley is the worst of it and all that's shown here. I moved from Stockport last year, and honestly I prefer Stoke lol. The close proximity of places like the Potteries, Trentham and rural towns on the outskirts are all appealing.
@@christophergibson3846 exactly! But he won’t answer to comments like this. Cause he wants to change his RUclips account to a right wing media type unfortunately.

Critically think: as to why there is more defibrillators than bank branches 🤔 Orwell’s dystopian 1984 and Huxley’s Brave New World is actually upon us.
The so called City centre is awful, but there are nicer parts of Stoke on Trent. Trentham Gardens pulls in people from all over the Country. The City centre has been affected by out of town shopping centres. Just like most other cities in this Country. Some of the areas in and around Stoke are really nice. The area of Trentham and the Westlands are as nice, if not nicer than most other parts of the Country. Stoke on Trent is more than a City centre.
Can't just blame this on the decline of industry. The pottery industry crashed along time ago and Hanley was a much better place in the 90s and 10 years ago...
Is this channel a bit slow? We all know the uk has lost many industries to history. We've gained many more. Idk what the point of your content is as you go round pointing out the obvious...
Clubbing used to be good back in day, now everywhere closed unfortunately there only gossip ,pink which are gay bars. Club electric ok but still only 60 people in there. This why I go manchester instead of stoke on night out or blackpool. Stoke has had its days completely.
Every time I go out in car round here see ambulances flying about with lights flashing ,if I go out 4 times will see them every time day in day out ,no exaggeration
Just a waste of money, when has anyone seen one beeing used? This is where the NHS money is being spent, companies who produced these things are robbing the NHS and taxpayers money
@@GoingGlobull the British have had a problem with immigrants from the day I was born, why is there never a problem with immigrants who play in the premier League? Immigrants and immigration has never been the problem, just another con like Brexit was a con. No investment in every sector of British society is the problem. 50 per cent of the UK land is owned by the King and the descendants of the Norman invasion. It's always been immigrants, then it was the EU now it's immigrants again, but it's never the British government is it?
@GoingGlobull nobody has voted against immigration. The Tories have repeatedly broken all immigration records. Anyone voting Tory in the past 2 elections has endorsed this. Facts matter
What the politicians promise ie what people vote for and what is delivered are not the same. People voted for and persistently poll for wanting less immigration. Multiculturalism in this country has been anti-democratic and imposed on the native people. As for British people being against immigration, this is not a uniquely British perspective. Can you give one example where a mass movement of peoples into a natives people land has been welcomed with open arms, wished for or happened without resistance? People who try to suggest the British (mostly the English) are uniquely xenophobic or racist clearly have no understanding of the world. In group preference is repeated across the planet for almost all of recorded history. In the coming years as immigration patterns change you’ll see exactly the same conversations the ‘racist’ English have being had by Africans, Caribbeans, Asians and in the Middle East. In fact those conversations are already happening. People want to maintain their own culture and way of life. Why should the English or the British be any different?
Maya because in the past the took all the money from Africa dimond money from gold now they come to who colonised there countries you want them gone give back the money and thingy and they wouldn't need to come here.im jamaican Christian you brought us here why didn't you leave my family in jamaica because I never wanted or asked to be stolen from my ancestors then brought here
400 years the English was in jamaica and the Caribbean and I'm only the 4 generation I think you should not complain for 300 more years until cwere equal. U forced staying in our country but your government invited us

You believe all that do you? The left is very good with manipulating words. Socialism is about equality in poverty thats Why stoke will never improved.
Stoke elects 3 MPs.. all were Conservative in the 2019-24 Parliament. It's hardly a stronghold for Labour.. Manchester and Liverpool are because even in bad elections for Labour they sweep the board. But not in Stoke.
It's the same all over the country don't blame labour, the tories have trashed the UK with unnecessary austerity. Dodgy Dave and Osborne should be in prison for killing thousands with unnecessary austerity.
@@Mark.H3721 Socialism and welfarism destroyed this country. They turned a once proud and self reliant people into what you see today.
A lot of the villages surrounding Stoke on Trent and Newcastle under Lyme have loads and loads of British flags flying, it just seems to be the town centres that are absolute shit holes.
You know what they say stoke on Trent - bent.
A great set for The Walking Dead. In fact the locals can be left in as they look perfect.
Stoke did this to itself
Towns and cities grew with industrialisation. Cottage industries were wiped out by factories. Farms needed less manual labourers thanks to machinery. People moved out of smaller towns, villages and hamlets and in to industrial areas, often creating slums, to live by the new work. But deindustrialisation happened and all these towns with a population density originally attracted by work suddenly have no jobs. So what do we do next as a country? Employment opportunities in more modern times became massively too focused on London, creating the dreaded ‘commute to work’ as we can’t all live near our employer, with much of the country left behind. People ether need to move to wherever (???) the new centres of employment are and let these towns die, or somehow establish new jobs (easier said than done) in these post industrial towns. I presume that’s what government empty waffle about ‘levelling up’ means
It's a Labour council!
You voted for it.
Dont pretend there is an alternative. Empty head! 🙄
Bro I've a friend which she moved from London to Stoke due the rent price , she told that she used to rent a studio flat in London for the same money she rents a two bedroom apartment in Stoke. I don't know if that's the difference ABT rent. Cheers from Toronto mate
Should be able to rent a 3 bedroom house for the price of a studio flat in London.
Lovely to see the English flag at the beginning and someone showing the UK fed up of block is going all around the world about time. Someone blocked about the UK big respect to you hands up.
Stoke on trent might not be a affluent area but we're good honest normal working class people who would give the shirt off our backs to help someone.
NOT suddenly!!!
Maybe it had a stroke
fully 'safe & effected'
It's strange how the pigeons fly upside down in Hanley, cos theirs nowt worth shitting on!!!!!!
I don't and nobody else knows, but it's getting scary. Storm clouds are gathering.
It's so sad.
I went to Stoke last week fk me what a sht hole…. No need to go back ever😂
It isn't that bad mate I'm sick of this selective footage to make it look worse then it is. I live in stoke and I'll tell you now it's nowhere near as bad as these RUclipsrs make it out to be majority of the time
Exactly this guy is getting a bit delusional. How he seen the worst in the world. And still find a way to complain.
@Its_Daniel113 Same with Wendall and Backpacker Ben, and all of the other youtubers.
14 years of austerity
You mean 14 years of not spending tax-payers money sensibly 😊👍🏻
It's been longer than 14yrs Liebour played there Part also.
Stoke is a huge place, Hanley is the worst of it and all that's shown here. I moved from Stockport last year, and honestly I prefer Stoke lol. The close proximity of places like the Potteries, Trentham and rural towns on the outskirts are all appealing.
@@christophergibson3846 exactly! But he won’t answer to comments like this. Cause he wants to change his RUclips account to a right wing media type unfortunately.
Blessings from France ❤️
Really enjoy your videos. Would love to see you travel around asia. It would be nice to see it from a different perspective to most vloggers who do it. Take it easy mate
Thank you. I’ll be heading to back Asia at some point. I’ve got a hankering to get back to Africa for now though
Country side is about to disappear with starmers Labour in power
Critically think: as to why there is more defibrillators than bank branches 🤔 Orwell’s dystopian 1984 and Huxley’s Brave New World is actually upon us.
I kid you not, i drove through stoke on trent a few weeks ago, as quickly as i could. Seriously where are the English people gone.
dude it was like that 20+ years ago..... there used to be a good club called the jack of hearts. I visited stoke one weekend once....
They spent all the Tax Money on Defibrillators instead of fixing up the Town.
Looks depressing there. Cheers from Oz.
Been waiting for a stoke video 🤣
I couldn’t wait to get out of there 😂
stoke or stroke?
@@stephenchappell7512 ahahahah tf
If you went to the actual town of Stoke, you would have been ridiculed for having parents that aren't cloaely related. @GoingGlobull
Do all of the defibrillators have something to do with a certain vax everyone was taking?🤔
not me
I tried to warn my father
he didn't listen
now he's motionless and speechless
following a clot
I would say so
@@stephenchappell7512They✡️ want to destroy the white race
Look to your local council
Hey champ why didn't you come for the GenZ protest (maandamano) in Kenya. It was revolutionary nothing like the one you experienced earlier.
Looks like Sunderland
The so called City centre is awful, but there are nicer parts of Stoke on Trent. Trentham Gardens pulls in people from all over the Country. The City centre has been affected by out of town shopping centres. Just like most other cities in this Country. Some of the areas in and around Stoke are really nice. The area of Trentham and the Westlands are as nice, if not nicer than most other parts of the Country. Stoke on Trent is more than a City centre.
Stoke died over 20 years ago.
Can't just blame this on the decline of industry. The pottery industry crashed along time ago and Hanley was a much better place in the 90s and 10 years ago...
😮
Is this channel a bit slow? We all know the uk has lost many industries to history. We've gained many more. Idk what the point of your content is as you go round pointing out the obvious...
Clubbing used to be good back in day, now everywhere closed unfortunately there only gossip ,pink which are gay bars. Club electric ok but still only 60 people in there. This why I go manchester instead of stoke on night out or blackpool. Stoke has had its days completely.
We need change. The contry his broke
Bet the death rate per year is high there.
Every time I go out in car round here see ambulances flying about with lights flashing ,if I go out 4 times will see them every time day in day out ,no exaggeration
Vote reform to fix your community
Ah, looks like a C19 jab rescue station
Stoke is a great place to visit but you never showed it, 4 minutes of empty buildings you can get that anywhere. This fool clearly a hatemonger.
Pop in to Loughborough 😆👍
Just a waste of money, when has anyone seen one beeing used? This is where the NHS money is being spent, companies who produced these things are robbing the NHS and taxpayers money
i live in Bucknall s o t Hanley wont,s flattening shit hole build a loads of houses on it.
That was a very short video
Vote Reform UK!
No, stoke voted and got Brexit, so now put up and shut up.
Interesting take. People vote consistently against immigration too, do you think they should get that and the people who don’t agree should shut up?
@@GoingGlobull the British have had a problem with immigrants from the day I was born, why is there never a problem with immigrants who play in the premier League? Immigrants and immigration has never been the problem, just another con like Brexit was a con. No investment in every sector of British society is the problem. 50 per cent of the UK land is owned by the King and the descendants of the Norman invasion. It's always been immigrants, then it was the EU now it's immigrants again, but it's never the British government is it?
@GoingGlobull nobody has voted against immigration. The Tories have repeatedly broken all immigration records. Anyone voting Tory in the past 2 elections has endorsed this. Facts matter
What the politicians promise ie what people vote for and what is delivered are not the same. People voted for and persistently poll for wanting less immigration. Multiculturalism in this country has been anti-democratic and imposed on the native people.
As for British people being against immigration, this is not a uniquely British perspective. Can you give one example where a mass movement of peoples into a natives people land has been welcomed with open arms, wished for or happened without resistance?
People who try to suggest the British (mostly the English) are uniquely xenophobic or racist clearly have no understanding of the world. In group preference is repeated across the planet for almost all of recorded history. In the coming years as immigration patterns change you’ll see exactly the same conversations the ‘racist’ English have being had by Africans, Caribbeans, Asians and in the Middle East. In fact those conversations are already happening.
People want to maintain their own culture and way of life. Why should the English or the British be any different?
Stoke on foil it's it's name
Jump start my heart
Maya because in the past the took all the money from Africa dimond money from gold now they come to who colonised there countries you want them gone give back the money and thingy and they wouldn't need to come here.im jamaican Christian you brought us here why didn't you leave my family in jamaica because I never wanted or asked to be stolen from my ancestors then brought here
There not much people on the road like London it's looks so boring 😊
Spot the white man....there he issss
400 years the English was in jamaica and the Caribbean and I'm only the 4 generation I think you should not complain for 300 more years until cwere equal. U forced staying in our country but your government invited us
You were sold off by your fellow Africans
I guess that's why you're in no rush to return
