Broken Brighton: Seaside City With Shocking Homeless Crisis 🇬🇧 

👏🏼

Only people with mental retardation go to therapy

You always see more male homeless than females... I wonder why ?

I'll say this for them: I used them for about two months. In two of those sessions I got very, very useful and actionable advice that I use to this day. But after a while I didn't really have much to talk about, so I stopped paying for it. I don't regret it at all because the advice I got, the mental and coping strategies, seem so obvious looking back on it, but having a professional walk me through it made a lot of difference.

Maybe because women are forced to do "favours" for cheap or no rent.. maybe because women are far less violent..

I true saint 🙏

lovely guy, but I was shocked about the 2 liters of vodka a day but, how does that not kill?

@@Ned88Mantolerance, it would kill most people.

He’s a true superstar

Totally agree

​@@WendallExploresoff the fence won't distribute tents to the homeless..... Why

Because that doesn't help them. These people need support, if they can afford 2 litres of vodka a day then can afford a tent​@@Nick-fg4dq

Good work my friend well done 🙏

​@@WendallExploresthanks buddy, one day at a time. Keep up the good work. People need to see this stuff

Well done you

Well done 👏

Fantastic to your 7months keep going.

4 years clean from heroin and cocaine

❤❤❤You and Paul are Angels!!! I appreciate so much what you doing!! I also wanna help homeless People I know what is like I was homeless to...

How have things gotten this bad on the streets of Britain 🇬🇧. I feel so sorry for those homeless folks 😢. Pity they have had bad situations in life and dealt a bad hand. I really hope things get better for them soon. 🙏 Thank goodness for that kind man who is helping many people. Wish there was more people like him and the country would be a better, safer place. I’m not good in a financial situation, however i will be donating to this charity. Keep up the good work all, proud of you 👏.

So the "support" in Brighton is clearly a magnet for those who choose to be homeless, they also get the benefit of living by the seaside for free.

You are ignoring the fact there are serious issues that can happen to a person that can seriously affect there mental health thos issues end up leading to somone being homless there is nothing at all wrong with somone who is homless choosing the best supporting place to get help

​@@Storm.Z.4utake your fetid ignorance somewhere else braverman

I agree with you that the balance is definitely off but a lot of the people on the streets are there because of the addiction to drugs. Rich people work for their money while others spend it on drugs and are unable to work and support themselves as a result because of their addiction. I don’t think we can blame the rich people but more the failure of the government to tackle the vast drug problem in the whole of UK. Not necessarily even a drug problem, but mental health issues which often lead to drug abuse.

Jamie's net worth is reportedly over £240million norman cook net worth UK £300million

It's not the poverty, it's the inequality that we live with everyday that will drive us insane

​@@ArualCrispthe ultra rich people don't work for their money. They get it via capital gains from family wealth.

Wel said

You always see more male homeless than females... I wonder why ?

Fair point@@djzrobzombie2813

Wow, extremely insightful words! 👏 I 💯 agree with you 😢

​@@djzrobzombie2813​ government are more likey to house homeless women an even more likey if drug . The same reason you don't see kids homeless is the same as women they are more vulnerable .. drug addiction is now seen as a victim they are " addicted" it's not there fault 😅 government doesn't want Todo a thing cause solving homelessness an drugs is no profits

Thank you for helping out 🙏

Amen

If you are one paycheck away from homelessness you are not organizing your life correctly. If you are earning a paycheck you should be saving enough to build up a 6-month emergency fund. Any financial expert will tell you this.

I am lucky not to be in this situation. However, many are that is what I am saying. Some jobs out there are really low salaries look at jobs on indeed 20k pa

How can you save a three month emergency fund. If your being paid 2000 a month, rent is 1000, bills are 200, council tax 150, food 500. You only have 150 quid left. That would take you 6 years to save a six month emergency fund. What do you do if an emergency comes up in them six years

I am purely quoting what the charity Shelter says this is not my words

Thank you for the kind words, glad to hear your situation is better now

​@@WendallExploresthanks. I really enjoy watching the conversations that you have with people, especially jappa from Torquay he was a real gem

@@MrPiranBlyth Jappa superstar 🙌

🙏

Well they can, we have open borders and they are free to leave the UK, perhaps France, or Germany, but then the benefits system is not as generous there.

@@Storm.Z.4uyou think the homeless get thousands in benefits every month ?

I'm pretty sure if they were on benefits they wouldn't be on the streets to be honest there like pigeons on the street, cast out by society as there no longer needed.

​@@Storm.Z.4u You couldn't be more wrong - UK has the lowest welfare benefits in Northern Europe, bar none. Stop getting your facts from comics 😂

weird, I'm a Brightonian also, but to me, it's the same as it was 20 years ago. There was a massive homeless problem then and there is now. nothing has changed.

Your right they "cleaned the streets" for the 2012 games so the visitors would not see the real problems...

Happens in a lot of coastal places. Not the land of milk and honey councils think it is😑

They shipped me off to Birmingham from Brighton in 2014! 😂

YES YES Can relate. I was attacked by convicted criminals, one of whom was mentioned in the national news as mugging the elderly in shared council accommodation and my life put in danger by the authorities! I have evidence against the council as well as council meeting minutes published about this. I have been physically tortured by the local mafia i.e Council and Police and slandered for exposing the TRUTH!

@@meestermeesterhastings.3159 JUST THE SAME WAY THEY DID FOR THE ROYAL WEDDING WHICH COST A FEW BOB OF TAXPAYER'S MONEY!

Glad they help you turn things around mate 🙏

Agreed , and actually it s about of a sell out by oli doing this when he knows these people can’t do it for money !!! I love his videos but I’m a little bit gutted as I got the feeling it’s a bit of a sell out this better help !!! I know it’s about getting paid but yeah it defo should be free

There have also been a lot of issues with better help specifically. Lack of professionalism from the therapists and them not handling more serious issues appropriately.

Plenty of free accessible charities in Brighton. Getting in a prescription & some hostels. Brighton is a bit like a beacon for homeless. Most are from out of the town.

Better help is a scam

Surprised, really? All you need to do is walk up by the station or the Pavilion Gardens to see there's a big problem in Brighton. And it's nothing new, it's been like it for years

​@@no_soy_rubioI'm surprised as Wendall normally covers northern places 😊 but not to the homeless population I know what it's like currently

@@tomebers8683 gotcha mate ✌

When I was street homeless in Brighton BHT kept sending me back to Brighton and Hove council, who kept sending me back to BHT... so I never found either of them any use...

@@gthbtn Yes, I can relate! BHT is a scam like the rest of them. I have been through the ENTIRE 'system.'

Superstar

When he meets that homeless guy in the graveyard you can tell he's not just faking it, he genuinely loves the guy and wants to help him out.

You got a spare room? You're free to house one of these males, or give them money.....

@@boobootheballbreaker2092 was gonna reply until I realised you’re a troll 😂 good luck with that 👍

the search for a free lunch continues.....

Thank you 🙏

You won't save someone from taking their life unless you help them with their circumstances, sorry not being funny but I have been up Beachy Head many times and been abused in the psych unit run by psychopaths. Many people want believe their own good deeds make a difference and many of them do not listen and invalidate. Society has this narcissistic notion that if we sweep people's problems under the carpet and tell them to leave it in the past until it happens again and again...those lives you think you saved may have and may STILL end in suicide! I don't mean this as a personal attack, I just know because I have been there many times over and am still getting this narcissistic treatment and I am still homeless. I have been tortured physically and emotionally by the corrupt authorities for the past 7 years. The people paid to help me helped push me and other patients to suicide! Some did suicide.

Not normally substance abuse is by far the biggest. Before 2009 when the U.S. government gave the Méxican cartels a monopoly on meth production, tent cities were virtually unknown in the U.S.. It was only after 2009, when meth(amphetamine) flooded the whole U.S. cities that tent encampments became a regular fixture. I think it is widely accepted that meth (not really found in Europe, it does exist but very small) is responsible for the tent cities. You hear Fentanyl! Fentanyl! Fentanyl! It´s not the real problem in the U.S. meth is. Saying that since the arrival of Spice, homelessness in the UK has exploded. There is a saying in politics "nothing happens by accident" who really was responsible for introducing spice in UK drug culutre?

@@Westhamsterdam Yeah you are probably right that meth probably has caused a lot of these tent cities to shoot up in the US. And in the U.K. I’m not sure about the connection between spice and homelessness. A lot of homeless people appear to use Spice, but I don’t know if that is an effect of been homeless or whether it’s a cause. Much like with alcohol they probably use it to zombie out in a stupor. But I doubt Spice would lead to mass homelessness like meth since Spice has effects almost identical to regular marijuana except it’s less safe. Here in U.K. I would think that the extortionate cost of housing and wage swallowing monthly rents are a big cause, since social housing is hard to come by here now in most places. The demand for it is too high and they haven’t replaced all the social housing that’s been sold off. And even unemployed people often don’t get all their private rent covered since it’s so expensive in England that it leaves a shortfall. Then there is also bedroom tax in addition to this. So this seems to be a big reason here. Drugs don’t seem like a huge problem here like in US

Paul is an inspiration mate 🙏

What is a phoney beggar please?

It’s gone up a lot in the last ten years

Always had huge problems...alcahol..drugs...it's a depressing town..I won't visit again.

It has done for many years, it's just that it's getting worse

It’s renowned for it.

Coastal towns have become a dumping ground for homeless and poor people with complex issues by the tory government. As London becomes more and more gentrified and a money laundering centre for crooked Russians etc who buy up swathes of property the more people that get priced out or moved on. It's social and ethnic cleansing of the working classes and the poor and vulnerable. With that it creates huge issues for where these people are decanted without choice. The council services, housing and support structures outside of London simply cannot cope with what's been forced upon them by central government.

Hopefully you can come over and stay thanks 👍 your a great person Never be stuck were 40min from Dublin and I tell you what a different i love Dublin the people a so nice just up the road amazing diffrence i suffer from anxiety and it's extremely high the only way to help calm my heart and brain is get to Dublin so friendly god bless😅

Not immigrants fault that people choose drugs and booze. Whobwould you rather live with, a clean immigrant or a conniving, violent addict? Feel free to offer up your couch to one of them.

Why would immigration cause people to choose drugs and alcohol? It’s down to individuals whether they use them or not (rightly or wrongly I. It here to judge) and beside at some point this country (and other) have always had people coming here, maybe I will blame William Conqueror for my issues as he was an immigrant to this country 😉🙄

@@Gez-CThe money and resources are going into supporting and funding Immigrants, in clean warm hotels, free food, phones, access to healthcare, education and whatever else they need. The social, mental and physical needs of homeless people is deliberately being neglected, but yes it is a choice to drink, take drugs etc. The issues are a lot deeper though, jobs being lost to technology, high cost of rent, low wages that don’t cover basic cost of living, that’s just a few

@@princebuster93 thanks for your response mirroring my own response to the previous two .i would also add that drink and drugs destroy lives of the families connected to these mentally ill addicts . This country used to have mental asylums for these kind of people until some do-gooder decided under the banner ‘ care in the community ‘ to close these asylums as it was stigmatising people and now we have them living in front of of our eyes . This country never had a homelessness problem until recently . I could go on and on but I hope you get my point. The Cabal of crooks sat in parliament are at fault!

@@gingerali to be honest, you cannot solve a spiritual problem with man made solutions, we can see the proof by examining exactly what you are saying. The Government have become a social engineering machine, that has manipulated society to such a degree that to many people look to the Government to change and solve the decline in people’s social, economic and mental wellbeing. The Government was not set up to be the people’s caregiver or God, but a communist Government will always seek to be the people’s God, = to control them. Come from a poor family, spent a good few years just surviving, but always worked, once I started seeking God and became born again, spiritually, my life changed for the better. I would never ask or expect anything from the Government, in fact I keep as far away from them as possible. God is allowing this to happen to the world right now because we are in the last days. I pray many Brit’s seek God as things get worse, it does break my heart though, how our Government are so Anti British, corrupt, cowardly, spineless and Godless 😢😞🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🙏❤️

Caroline Lucas has been truly terrible for Brighton & Hove.

The environmental movement has been well and truly hijacked

This is both tragic and unsurprising. Choices like this are happening all over the world as the availability of housing disappears and the homeless numbers grow.

That sucks she ignored your efforts. Good on you though for trying to do something constructive about the issue 👍

I agree, absolutely disgusting what’s happening. There’s no empathy or support with Tory rule . Yeah it’s a lifestyle choice,FFS🙈💩

"I truly feel the government is just allowing this to happen". If truth be known the government (elites) are behind the drugs trade. Drugs (none recreational) are there to destroy them but at the same time if you feed them & look after them on the streets (just like Kessington/Skid Row) you create a type of prison where they can´t escape this is how the elites manage it they keep them to certain areas away from rich.

The government don't give a toss

labour run council before that green party who had worse recycling rate in country what a disgrace

Minimum rent I saw was £1500 per month

Only a third of your income on rent, that's not bad.

@@Storm.Z.4u 12 yrs ago. Now will be 1,500 for flat. 1000 even for house room share Plus bills plus food leaves not much after council tax water rates

@@Storm.Z.4u actually brighton had agreed to all pay more on council tax to provide housing. Think was storage containers But judge pickles came down and stopped it. Tories for you.

According to new figures published by the UK's Office for National Statistics, Middlesbrough, Blackpool and St. Helens are England's teenage pregnancy capitals

@@MiaSummer-cm6cy Can you read? I said IN RECENT YEARS, not today.

​@@StevieSpiers-ru3mfHow can you be that rude when talking out your arse. Lived in Brighton for over 15 years. Declared drug death capital in the UK over ten years ago, it's not now and that's not considered recent. Stating it's the teenage pregnancy capital of Britain is also not true, but it has been high.

Kemptown lovely architecture

No chance of Paul getting a Nobel peace prize he's doing good work for the people more likely to get one if you are selling weapons to another country to destroy people

Rent there is insane

London holiday homes

Because now landlords rent by the night. They can charge more than the weekly rent in one night. So that reduces the number of flats houses available. This is a trend all over the country. Air bnb get rich off of your property. Then walk past the homeless who have no affordable and very few properties available to rent.

🙏

Legend

It is super expensive there now

I wouldn't like to go to Brighton again, I went there and it was absolutely filled with degenerates.

How is life in Kuwait

Exactly. There is help available for people but the first condition of receiving that help is they stay off the junk. It is a simple choice that they want to take drugs. Giving them money doesn't help them and it never will.

I have a phone I bought that day I'm watching the video on it now

@@keyoreed6574 Well, kudos to you. There is hope for you after all but instead of lying in shop doorways watching youtube, I suggest you use your new found to get yourself into some shelter/program to put yourself back on your feet. We all get into bad situations in life, only you can dig yourself back out of it. You can do it. Hang on in the mate.

​@@keyoreed6574Does the phone still work?
