Personally I think my problems are either my fault or nobodies, except in very rare circumstances. Like the caller in this video, so many people's go-to mantre when they have a problem is to find someone else, maybe richer than them, maybe poorer, maybe from overseas, or not, blame it all on them, and get really angry about it. If we as a society put our energies into actual constructive problem solving rather than ranting and foaming at the mouth about everyone else, we'd all be in a better place.

A lot of problems/issues were caused by two blokes in a cheap, chain - owned/operated, pub ..." ... In our case, such pubs is usually Wetherspoons. For some reason they open their doors quite early (me thinks 9 - 9.30am ...). I used to meet up with a friend over their so-so breakfast, but having a pint of ale with it (I prefer wheat beers, as over-hopped ones are just too bitter), was the draw, especially at 11.30am ... But what was crazy is, by the time we would meet up, regardless of which Wetherspoons pub we would go to, we would see the same thing; groups of senior men, sitting huddled together, with at least four-five empties each, by their elbow, and clearly supping on their fifth/sixth ... I'll never know how long they would be there, especially as we would only stay until 2pm, if as late as that ... maybe their livers had gotten used to a steady consumption of alcohol, instead of binging over, say, three - four hours. Even so ... either their wives wanted them out for under their feet ... or, more tragically, it became a social clubs for widowers. But there was something a bit ... tragic ... seeing those men in their 70's and 80's, drinking from whenever the doors open, to whatever the time they leave ... likely easily after 8 pints ...

Got council housing 3 years ago just before covid struck. When you sign the rent agreement you are handed a booklet of furniture you can request in exchange for a slight increase in rent. For example my actual rent is about 65 a week. When I went for the viewing, it was empty with bare plaster walls and floorboards. So I opted to get Carpet and vinyl flooring, curtains, a bed, a 2 seat sofa, small dinner table and 2 chairs and essential white goods. In exchange I actually pay about 90 a week. I wouldn't be shocked if this was what was actually happening when people see them receiving this "Free furniture".

To everyone who's concerned about James interrupting her/ not letting her speak/ coming back to the 'free cars' over and over: Yes, he did keep going back to that point. Because it untrue and inflammatory. If he just glossed over it and let her carry on, there'd be plenty of people listening who would cherry pick that point and go and tell it to all their mates down the pub etc, just like her friend who works on the council. Also, anytime she was speaking, she was just repeating the same point over and over, which James called out each time as being untrue or simply just a bad argument. If he didn't call out the false arguments and just entertained the conversation as if her points were valid, and he just 'respectfully disagreed', it'd just be 10 minutes of listening to anti- immigrant propaganda, and all the people who believe that kind of tripe would eat it up regardless of what the counter- arguments were.

@@davidspear9790 Well, the alternative is that if they can afford expensive cars then they clearly don't need assistance for housing and stuff like that. I don't know, maybe it's just me and how I grew up. However, that just seems rather obvious to me. That said, I don't live there so I don't know how anecdotal her examples are. Maybe this isn't what is going on at all. I'm just saying that if you are getting assistance from the government for food or shelter then you shouldn't be buying luxury items. A car isn't necessarily a luxury item... but a fancy one definitely is.

Worked in social housing where emergency/temporary housing was provided for those coming from war torn areas. The families were coming with nothing. Items were provided but they were the most basic(budget toaster/fridge/beds/settees etc. And the items were to the house and not tenant. So on leaving the items were left behind to be reclaimed by the local authority. As for cars!!! Where do people think councils get a budget to provide cars with!! Especially with the cuts to budgets!..

Well...that's easy to explain. You got people from different countries, sometimes better educated but (as they have to start from somewhere) usually live in poor / cheap areas. While their British neighbors do nothing at all to get their life's better, people that arrived are working hard to move out from this dump. Some succeed, others don't. One way or another don't blame others for working harder to fulfill their dreams and aiming bigger than future prospects of becoming 'man with the van'
