Dundee native, Brian Cox, revisits the town where he grew up to examine the wealth divide. He likens Dundee now, to the Dundee he knew as a child living in poverty, and visits Lochee's community larder, where the cost of living crisis has left many families struggling to afford basic necessities.

I was a year behind Brian at primary school in Dundee. My parents were never actually destitute but Friday lunch, before the week’s wages came home, was always porridge. It was the only thing left in the cupboard at the end of the week. My father stressed education as an imperative. Although poverty has never left Scotland they are one of the most educated countries in Europe. Trades or professions are vital. Social structures from birth are also vital for if its people. Early learning education, daycare, universal healthcare, social housing are just some of the infrastructure that needs to be established to get children on the right path for success and financial stability. It will be real progress when food banks are an anachronism.

I'm living in Dundee right now xD It's a lot cheaper than other parts of the UK. But everyone wants to move and there is definitely extreme poverty here. Every time I go outside someone is begging me for money.

Thank you. We are the same age with the same experience and I fear for my grand children. The wealth gap is increasing. Our government is doing very little. The climate is changing. 20 or 30 years ago I felt optimistic, now....

Great video. The Westminster government is failing in its duty of care. Britain's fundamental problem is the class society. The rich get richer. The ordinary people get poorer (and thicker) and lash out at the wrong enemy. These are the same people who voted to imprison themselves and their families on an island FOREVER 🏝️🇬🇧.

Scotland is the responsibility of the Scottish government and the Scottish Parliament, you can't blame Westminster for the state of Scotland. SNP have been in power for 17 years and have all the things that matter to ending this devolved to them.

@andrewrobinson2565 4 месяца назад

@@sandersson2813 There are not enough devolved powers from Westminster to Edinburgh for the Scottish government to be blamed for this situation. The WHOLE UK is still centrally controlled from London as far as FUNDING is concerned. What does funding make? SERVICES 😀👍. Nice try though 🤣. I vote Renaissance (Macron) 🇨🇵🇪🇺.

@@andrewrobinson2565 Yes there absolutely are. Education and health is devolved to Scotland, council tax is collected and spent on the region and Scotland charges 42% tax so what does it do with this extra money? Why is it Nat's will absolutely not take responsibility for anything?

@andrewrobinson2565 4 месяца назад

@@sandersson2813 Not sure if you live in Scotland, but the Scottish government LEVIES ZERO TAXES on residents of Scotland and a Conservative government in London (particularly this bunch of villains) has NOT been generous with an SNP government, nor would it have been with a Scottish Labour government. In terms of services, it would be better if ALL the UK devolved governments were Labour, but EVEN THEN, Westminster Labour is London-centric. Even the new Labour mayors will have to push for funds.

@@andrewrobinson2565 Ha ha ha. I used to live in Scotland. Scotland SETS its own tax rates. How could you not realise this? Furthermore it receives MORE per person than every other region of the UK and STILL has some of the worst poverty in Western Europe. You CANNOT lay the blame for this at Westminster when it is the Scottish Government who is responsible for distributing and spending this money effectively.

@RugbyWannabe Год назад

You guys do realise right that his wealth won’t make a dent into the poverty in Dundee or the UK? On top of that he lives in New York now, probably due to work reasons and doesn’t even pay tax here anymore, actors and famous figures “virtue signalling” isn’t the issue. Big companies like Google, Amazon and Apple not paying their taxes and a British Government that are more focused on keeping the rich rich by giving government contracts to their families or friends is the problem.

@@RugbyWannabe There is nothing wrong with setting an example. He could donate a sum of money to the shop where he was working. If all the very rich people started to give away, it wouldn't be so normal anymore for the rich to get richer.

Lived in Dundee - left a 7 years old.. See the place now and again but I live overseas... Most recently the decay of the city is very obvious.. Of course it will never get better.. Places like Lochee and doomed to be 💩 holes forever.. The city has a lovely location but it never recover or get better... Some places are doomed to fail.. Like Chicago..
