@@outlawJosieFox The UK economy was killed by refusing to let the mines and other old dead industries die. Throughout the 1970's and into the 80's until Thatcher the UK put itself behind the rest of Europe and wasted billions in subsidies to skyrocket the national debt. The Dutch closed the coalmines in the early 1970's, that region was normalising by the end of the 2010's. Thanks to Labour, the UK did so only in the mid '80s. Guess what? Same recovery period applies there. Who championed that economic suicide? Labour did. Even dropped steel beams on people to murder them if they disagreed with Labour.
Jaywick, Clacton, Tilbury, Grays are a few of the areas that have been neglected. Northerners often like to think they are hard done by but the south doesn't fare much different.
This is Essex, perhaps the most loyal, devout far right wing, Conservative supporting county in England. God knows why. It’s grim, it’s rough, it’s depressed, it’s without hope. Yet they’ll still be out voting Tory at the next election. Kent is just as grim

It's weird isn't it ? lol... You would think that they would try to run an actual store.. and then get those goods at an ultra cheap price point. Or to open an office cross the border and to make use of the cheaper import/export price point.. lol.. But instead, they do things this way ? I don't get it.... lol... Even though I can get from Amazon, I still visit my local Tesco.. and my local wet market as well.. and the local butchers.. etc etc.. And I also buy from different places as well... so everybody gets my money. The locals here are very good people... They are. And once you paid off your business, and the overheads, you still keep steady the prices, so that you are basically creating a wage economy. And if you do have extra or excess.. and it goes through another business cycle. Then bank that money. It just goes into a building society, or a cooperative. How else, can you function without an actual economy to function with ???... Create a local cooperative bank !...

Most who live in these places can't sell their house if they are lucky enough to own it, the rest who rent can't afford to go elsewhere, the UK has been turned into a third world country, the government says that's a lie, but anyone can see it with their own eyes, when you go through one of the many places like this take a good look at the types of shops that are in the area and how they all seem to be competing and always empty, barbers , takeaways, dodgy vape shops etc etc, the picture is a clear one, but the MSM and government are doing all they can to hide it.
@ellismeah8110 That's what you get after 14 years of cutting services to the bone. Austerity that wonderful plan from the Tories, that achieved precisely what we are now witnessing. That and the largest transfer of wealth in history from the people of this country gives us the perfect storm.
@@boota1979 ..and then we have the alternative: Labour. Who spend silly amounts of money on the NHS but don't do anything to improve it. They pay for stupid non jobs and will import more immigrants who will either take up social housing/benefits or take up social housing, get a low paid job and get benefits whilst preventing a native from working. Thus making the unemployment, benefits, housing, healthcare, education and infrastructure issues even worse. All in the hope that all these new additions to the populous and the ones on benefits vote for them. So. Vote Tory and get austerity or vote Labour to get the third world. Great choice.
@@brianrobinson7984 Your first paragraph is precisely what is and has been happening for the last 14 years. The Tories have had 14 years to reverse what ever Labour policies they do not want and they have chosen not to do so and to make immigration in particular much worse year on year and literally wreck the NHS. From 1997-2010 the Labour Government added £51 billion a year on average to the national debt while the Conservatives have on average added £108 billion a year to the national debt from 2010-22 - more than double. Now the national debt stands at 96% of GDP, when Labour left office in May 2010 it was 74.6% considerably lower. In fact in May 2010, when Labour left office our national debt to GDP ratio was the lowest of any major developed economy. Austerity achieved precisely nothing whatsoever for you and I, this particular Tory government to their eternal shame have been at war with the British public and it must stop!
A lot of people live in different areas across the UK. The difference can be big... but I had no idea it was this big of an actual difference ? So... and everybody is busy fighting their corners, so.. Unless, you have a steady group of people, doing their bits for their community and local community, then it isn't as easy.. Actually. So.... What this small area, would indeed benefit from, is actual Windfarms.. and then get that connected to the grid, and help US, as a country to reduce the energy bills... If anything. At the very very least. And then we will get talking, actually. So.. And therefore, this would mean a maintenance team as well.. and therefore, literally would be a community energy area... My area is kind of lost now. We lost our small towns and merged together to be a devolved region, cos we too, went bankrupt... (and now, we do have pockets of depressed areas, but maybe not as bad, but we became bigger.. I remember when I was a child, it was different)... But since becoming bigger.. people are now creating small local businesses, to go back and to regenerate those old and derelict housings. So that is on going.. Some are indeed in bad shape as well. I didn't even know.. Even if we revitalise all housing, it still takes time. The issue is that, not everybody is willing to move away ?
If you take out London from the uk they are fd but there’s some big cities like Manchester,Liverpool ect. You can see it on uk police dramas it’s always have the “abandoned” feeling even London has it.
@@valuetraveler2026 You're misdirecting your anger at the councils. Councils can only use council tax and business rates to raise revenue. That is a fundamentally limited funding model and not how a government should be run. They could be funded properly by the central government, but the Tories don't do that on ideological grounds.
@@krob2327 The conservatives fundamentally are about small state and low public expenditure. While this sounds nice on paper, as we have seen over the last 14 years (and Thatcher's and Major's premierships) low public expenditure only causes anaemic economic growth and increasing poverty for the majority. Labour are the polar opposite of that so we're obviously off to a far better start.
It is only a small community. This is terrible !!!!! ..... Really terrible !!!.... OMG.. why does it have around 1.3 billion in debts? What has it been spent on !??!!..... Why don't they have a community bus ? And then schedule the buses to take the local communities to the nearby healthcares and such likes. And then have a green energy... windmill to generate SOME free electricities, at the very least !!!... And then have a community pub... which also act as a shop. And then some local brewings. And then use it for Sunday schools. Or even actually.... children's play areas.. As well as for hire for weddings and whatever.... I don't get it. Blimey.. for a small community like this. An actual... 12k... come on... You can have the local job centre, to have an actual job CV bank.. and headhunt and then to swap people for jobs etc !!! And to ask people to keep a savings account for rainy days !!!!... Oh come on... It is only 12k people... And then you can raise people's educational skills through time, and through fund raisings as well... and use those as a grant from your local borough.. and to take back control of your own educational budget !....

I’m from Scotland and, whilst we have our share of places like this, none are close to the scale of what I see happening in England.

These once proud places deserve a good and prosperous future 😢
UK national income (GDP) was £2.5 trillion last year. Obesity costs the country £50-70 billion alone. Tax avoidance costs about £50 billion. Smoking, £15-20 billion (when taking into account lost working hours). So let’s have some action on these issues from the next government.

The working platform has moved and the peoples skills have been made invalid. The idea that you can just shut down factories and it has no effect is just stupid. Still we can have things made cheap in China and sell the souls of those in places like Tilbury because we will make huge profits and the turn over in shoddy Chinese goods will be huge. Meanwhile the support of those left behind falls inevitably to the government and councils and yet show them the results of probably 50 years of lack of vision and they will shrug and say oh we built a lot of industrial units so there are jobs but show me an industrial estate and I can show you places that just store junk manufactured outside the country that are distribution centres with no more than 6 staff. We don't have an idea of what people need and worse we don't care. Not everyone thinks working in an office shuffling paper is a valid way to spend 8 hours a day and nor do they think that travelling 4 hours a day to do it at an extortionate price on the trains is valid either. A rethink is required.
I think the point about the Pubs is less about alcohol consumption and more about socialization, and how without any social outlets people in the community are further unable to thrive. How are people connecting to each other and finding happiness or sense of community among each other?

"and even if its home to a huge amazon distribution center"... THATs the real problem. The HUGE corporations that kill small stores and selfemployed traders, the accumulation of wealth, fortunes that isnt returned, re-spend back in the society. We HAVE to rethink the way we structure income. Income for ALL that is. Weve reached a point(THE point, we knew it would come eh?) where capitalism is killing itself. Making money have become so eficient that its a deadend for anyone who cant compete with eg amazon. Eff amazon, eff big corporations. We need some sort of civic salary. We need to make sure the top 1 % is actually paying their share and then some. Theyre in effect the worldwide moneysink, the black hole that absorb anything of value, never to spit it out again.. How much would you spend if you made a million?? Id spend most of it. How much do you think Amazon spend when Bezo have earned 1million?? Were lucky if we see 100£ returned into society.. We have to set a limit to the size of a given business. Dunno where it should be as a general observation, but I know it specificly when we look at individual brands/cases
You have to be pretty special in the head to argue that doubling prices for people and forcing them to spend half a day shopping by going back to expensive tiny cornerstores, is somehow a good thing. It's not 1920 any longer granddad, there's no wife who's banned from work by the church who has all day to visit 19 different stores and buy 1 thing at each. People these days have to work, and work hard, to both pay taxes so you can freeload and somehow still survive ourselves. Your 30K home that you got at age 22 now costs 650K and can only be afforded at age 35 providing you both work 40 hours a week.
Inflation is a cruel mistress. I bought a house in 20000 and invested 30k in the SP500. 24 years later the house is up 5X. My cash is up 7X but my wages are up 1.5X. This is the stuff they don't teach in school. Wages never keep pace with inflation. Assets outperform inflation. Hence the wealth gap. Schools should be teaching Kids to turn their wages into assets every month. If you want to close the wealth gap. Wages should be index linked like pensions. It's all very simple and nothing to do with socialism vs capitalism. Governments will never stop borrowing money so we will always have inflation.
@@lawLess-fs1qx Its not about socialism. Its about capitalism commiting suicide. The current system have failed - It was predicted long ago, it just came earlier than expected, at least for some areas. And the more areas we cant leave to self-control/self-adjusting via market-mechanics, the more do we need a new system.. Teaching people to turn money into assets would only accelerate the last part of the total destruction of capitalism. Theres a physical limit to how much the world can consume, theres a limit to how many stores there can be, theres a limit to how many houses you can buy. There SHOULD be a limit. If I buy 200 houses, then you wont be able to buy one.. and 198 other people wont either.. So we reach that limit so much faster when theres stores like Amazon or large chain-restaurants. They prevent regular people from gettng a foothold, or at least they make it so much harder that we no longer can talk about a free market with self-regulatory mechaincs like supply and demand, we cant talk about fair competition. The more large chains there is, the worse were off - at least with the current system. Indexed salary.. Hmm.. How do we decide the value if theres only one electrician left, and 100 people wants new powersockets in their home?? - How do we decide it if theres 1000 electricians, but only one who need new power-outlets?? Indexed salary would potentially lock us to the stoneage(or what the future would see as stoneage) - I think it would be better to look into systems like Georgism(yes, its a thing.. look it up) or the scandinavian Social Democracy model(as it was intended in the 50-70s).. One thing I know - Bigger is not always better

The Daily Mail's theory is that there are people with money, they just misuse it in the UK. Ie: they get tattoos, smokes etc and that they need to make better choices and tighten their belts.
How do you “produce” jobs? Work comes from industry and business and once those are gone the work is gone. Tilbury was once a flourishing port but I suppose the dynamics of maritime industry now require far fewer people. Education and good parenting are the keys to prosperity nowadays, but with the rise of single motherhood and rubbish woke schooling families have imploded, and parents don’t seem much interested in anything other than beer and football anyway, and now of course drugs. Good luck.
They can turn it into a windfarm first.. and foremost.. and secure themselves first. So... and then next thing is to create a bank. And then the housing, to secure or to pay that off asap... And then create a Building Society etc. And then we will start talking... They should have reshuffled and shoved some empire or city building candidates that has the knowhows, in there.. The problem today is that, a lot of people did things, and they kept doing things, but many didn't past on the knowledge, or the network... to relift them up ? So... It explains why the 12k people have lost in the voting. I must admit that it is also hard too for myself.. Cos once you get onto the job ladder, you cannot see the wood for the trees at all.. when it comes to politics. Unless, you actively live your life around the needs of the politics and the community, otherwise, it is a lot harder to see through everything ?

And once you paid off your business, and the overheads, you still keep steady the prices, so that you are basically creating a wage economy. And if you do have extra or excess.. and it goes through another business cycle. Then bank that money. It just goes into a building society, or a cooperative. How else, can you function without an actual economy to function with ???... Create a local cooperative bank !...

@ellismeah8110 That's what you get after 14 years of cutting services to the bone. Austerity that wonderful plan from the Tories, that achieved precisely what we are now witnessing. That and the largest transfer of wealth in history from the people of this country gives us the perfect storm.
@@boota1979 ..and then we have the alternative: Labour. Who spend silly amounts of money on the NHS but don't do anything to improve it. They pay for stupid non jobs and will import more immigrants who will either take up social housing/benefits or take up social housing, get a low paid job and get benefits whilst preventing a native from working. Thus making the unemployment, benefits, housing, healthcare, education and infrastructure issues even worse.
All in the hope that all these new additions to the populous and the ones on benefits vote for them.
So. Vote Tory and get austerity or vote Labour to get the third world. Great choice.
@@brianrobinson7984 Your first paragraph is precisely what is and has been happening for the last 14 years. The Tories have had 14 years to reverse what ever Labour policies they do not want and they have chosen not to do so and to make immigration in particular much worse year on year and literally wreck the NHS.
From 1997-2010 the Labour Government added £51 billion a year on average to the national debt while the Conservatives have on average added £108 billion a year to the national debt from 2010-22 - more than double.
Now the national debt stands at 96% of GDP, when Labour left office in May 2010 it was 74.6% considerably lower.
In fact in May 2010, when Labour left office our national debt to GDP ratio was the lowest of any major developed economy. Austerity achieved precisely nothing whatsoever for you and I, this particular Tory government to their eternal shame have been at war with the British public and it must stop!

This looks like a 3rd world country. Is UK really this poor?
A lot of people live in different areas across the UK. The difference can be big... but I had no idea it was this big of an actual difference ? So... and everybody is busy fighting their corners, so.. Unless, you have a steady group of people, doing their bits for their community and local community, then it isn't as easy.. Actually. So.... What this small area, would indeed benefit from, is actual Windfarms.. and then get that connected to the grid, and help US, as a country to reduce the energy bills... If anything. At the very very least. And then we will get talking, actually. So.. And therefore, this would mean a maintenance team as well.. and therefore, literally would be a community energy area...
My area is kind of lost now. We lost our small towns and merged together to be a devolved region, cos we too, went bankrupt... (and now, we do have pockets of depressed areas, but maybe not as bad, but we became bigger.. I remember when I was a child, it was different)... But since becoming bigger.. people are now creating small local businesses, to go back and to regenerate those old and derelict housings. So that is on going.. Some are indeed in bad shape as well. I didn't even know.. Even if we revitalise all housing, it still takes time. The issue is that, not everybody is willing to move away ?

@@krob2327 The conservatives fundamentally are about small state and low public expenditure.
While this sounds nice on paper, as we have seen over the last 14 years (and Thatcher's and Major's premierships) low public expenditure only causes anaemic economic growth and increasing poverty for the majority.

And then have a green energy... windmill to generate SOME free electricities, at the very least !!!... And then have a community pub... which also act as a shop. And then some local brewings. And then use it for Sunday schools. Or even actually.... children's play areas.. As well as for hire for weddings and whatever.... I don't get it.

The working platform has moved and the peoples skills have been made invalid. The idea that you can just shut down factories and it has no effect is just stupid. Still we can have things made cheap in China and sell the souls of those in places like Tilbury because we will make huge profits and the turn over in shoddy Chinese goods will be huge. Meanwhile the support of those left behind falls inevitably to the government and councils and yet show them the results of probably 50 years of lack of vision and they will shrug and say oh we built a lot of industrial units so there are jobs but show me an industrial estate and I can show you places that just store junk manufactured outside the country that are distribution centres with no more than 6 staff. We don't have an idea of what people need and worse we don't care. Not everyone thinks working in an office shuffling paper is a valid way to spend 8 hours a day and nor do they think that travelling 4 hours a day to do it at an extortionate price on the trains is valid either. A rethink is required.
Why would they need pubs if they can not even afford a bus ride?

Inflation is a cruel mistress. I bought a house in 20000 and invested 30k in the SP500. 24 years later the house is up 5X. My cash is up 7X but my wages are up 1.5X. This is the stuff they don't teach in school. Wages never keep pace with inflation. Assets outperform inflation. Hence the wealth gap. Schools should be teaching Kids to turn their wages into assets every month. If you want to close the wealth gap. Wages should be index linked like pensions. It's all very simple and nothing to do with socialism vs capitalism. Governments will never stop borrowing money so we will always have inflation.
@@lawLess-fs1qx Its not about socialism. Its about capitalism commiting suicide.
The current system have failed - It was predicted long ago, it just came earlier than expected, at least for some areas. And the more areas we cant leave to self-control/self-adjusting via market-mechanics, the more do we need a new system..
Teaching people to turn money into assets would only accelerate the last part of the total destruction of capitalism.
Theres a physical limit to how much the world can consume, theres a limit to how many stores there can be, theres a limit to how many houses you can buy.
There SHOULD be a limit.
If I buy 200 houses, then you wont be able to buy one.. and 198 other people wont either..
So we reach that limit so much faster when theres stores like Amazon or large chain-restaurants.
They prevent regular people from gettng a foothold, or at least they make it so much harder that we no longer can talk about a free market with self-regulatory mechaincs like supply and demand, we cant talk about fair competition.
The more large chains there is, the worse were off - at least with the current system.

How do you “produce” jobs? Work comes from industry and business and once those are gone the work is gone. Tilbury was once a flourishing port but I suppose the dynamics of maritime industry now require far fewer people.

The problem today is that, a lot of people did things, and they kept doing things, but many didn't past on the knowledge, or the network... to relift them up ? So...
