Too many stupid people is the problem.

Exactly i have venezulan housemates they are on low income but keep our area clean

That is absolutely correct

That's not always the case, in areas of high unemployment because of closures and jobs going abroad people with skills move away chasing jobs leaving the unskilled behind with no prospects and living off the benefits system. The local council suffers because it doesn't have the budget to maintain the infrastructure, some people become despondent and turn to alcohol and drugs. It's just a horrible downward spiral and without some major investment in the town to attract employers nothing will change

One has to ask 'where is the money going that we pay in taxes and council tax?' It's certainly not going to where it should be...

It doesn't matter what country you move to there is trouble

Britain has been in terminal decline particularly since the 2008 credit crunch......But more serious is the lawlessness emerging from broken homes and absent parents. We also now have a Woke justice system, terrible schools teaching evil things, no discipline or accountability which is leading to a disfunctional society engaged in violent crime. That's why we are witnessing a complete breakdown of communities across the country...Made my exit 8 years ago thank God .

get a job, and stop complaining about the government not giving you "more"

​@@adrianmainz2716 Attitudes like this just ignore the problem. The problem isn't "laziness", it's a sustianed and continuous failure on both a national and local level by the government to give back. And it is giving back. The government takes taxes, supresses liberties, and imposes control on everyone. Doing all that, it has a duty to give back. A government that just oppresses and never gives back is less a government and more a caste system of the controlled and controlling. And that's ignoring the fact that poverty today is rarely the result of laziness, but a result of inhereted poorness, lack of economic opportunity, and larger systemic issues relating to a shrinking middle class and widening wealth gap. A fundamentally uneven economic system that prioritises the wealth of a few rather than the wellbeing and liberty of the many, is inevitably going to leave people in these conditions. The issue isn't laziness.

@@theonewhocomments367 any proof ? and if you are so sure that the problem is not lazyness, why don't you help those people ? You lie to them that they have "lack of opportunity" yet every single month hundreds of people try to cross the channel in order to get the chance to enjoy England's "lack of opportunity".

@@adrianmainz2716 Their lack of opportunity is born of the fact that many of these families can't afford to enter their children into higher quality education, and because within these communities there is very little to do for young people to do, both socially and academically, something that I can personally vouch for having grown up in the area. This lack of everyday opportunity leads to lots of antisocial behaviour, including drug culture, gang culture, and similar such activities. These then in turn hurt these young people once they grow older, as some will end up with convictions before they're even adults, and others will lack the necessary academic qualities to go onto further education or access high paying jobs, and no, you can't just handwave this away as being "their fualt", these are children in environments with limited options, not rich millionaires with all the freedom in the world. This in turn further feeds into the cycle of poverty. We can see now that in some places, action against this is being taken. In the nearby town of Kingsbridge, a skate park to act as a social place for young people is underway, and local groups are working to provide young people with more opportunities, giving them things to do with their time, rather than get wrapped up into drugs and crime. As for immigrants, of course an area with limited social and academic opportunities is enticing, when you're escaping a literal warzone. If we were so bad that we were unattractive even to war refugees, then I'd think we'd have some serious questions to be asking. Using the fact that people come to the UK to escape war as a way of handwaving the many issues that are present within the country, just helps to let the problems fester and worsen. They're escaping war, of course Paignton is attractive, doesn't mean that there aren't fundamental issues to do a lack of opportunity.

american here, but i have to agree you're absolutely right. i'm all about lifting the impoverished and downtrodden into a better life, gainful employment, education, etc. anybody can go from rags to riches if they simply apply themselves with a bit of assistance but when a man's spirit is broken and he has degenerated morally, not even a forklift can raise him out of a life of squalor and crime. here in america, no one homeless on the streets has to be, but if you try to give them work and opportunity, they refuse, because what they really want to do is stay in their tent and smoke meth.

you would have the right to have fear of the law if the law served you well...in what way do people in the uk feel the law is generally on their side?

Because kids know they can do what ever they want and law can't do anything.

It still is very beautiful Patricia. Most towns still pristine and lovely.

Me too, similar age by the way. It was great when they opened Coral Island in 1977, what a nice time it was back then, no mobile phone zombies, independent shops, better mannered people, way less traffic, and the lights along the Rock Walk, it's still nice there but does not have nearly as much charm as it did when I was a kid visiting.

I used to live close to Paignton until about 4 years ago, even in the short time since I moved away I have seen various videos around the Devon area in general and sadly it's all slowly decaying away from what it once was.

14 years of conservative profiteering and neglect will do that to a country. Of course holiday seaside towns are suffering when the only group of people who can afford to take a holiday all go to the French Riviera or skiiing in Switzerland.

I am not so tall but the young people like it if you communicate. If you start chatting they are invariably friendly actually. They hang about on the street because they want to socialise.

@@sarahstrong7174 These were intimidating people, I know there are many young people that are just out and being social, You can usually tell the difference. they dont walk towards people in a bunch and watch everyone step out into the road. The youngsters are worse, but all ages do it some walk 3 abreast and expect everyone to get out of their way, because whatever they are talking about or doing is more important than anything anyone else's

Those very large crowds of kids who force everyone off the sidewalks are from the language schools. There are 3 or 4 in Torquay and the students can be very rowdy in a pack but pleasant on their own.

Being nine foot tall the larger crowd of more worrying kids I encountered scattered faster

Good observation, they are the Fox News equivalent

I suspect the police can no longer keep up with social media and general online boosted county lines that target the smaller towns

Police know about dealers and probably know the families too. They aren't there to make sure we are safe anymore. They are there to make sure we are oppressed and following orders!

Too right. It’s noticeable everywhere, the lack of police. Long gone is the bobby on the beat…sigh

When everyone knows there are drug dealers on the street. The police also knows. Probably they don't care at all. Years ago i had a drug dealer living in my street. (not in the UK) Addicts broke in to my car multiple times. Shouting screaming at night and other crazy things going on. The police did nothing about it. My guess is that they know probably every address and place where drugs are sold. When they know where, they can monitor is in some way. Keep an eye on it.

It suits the so called ‘police’ to ignore trouble and lawlessness. They are lazy.

I saw a guy stabbed a few weeks back outside a Londis and I'm visually impaired! If I can see this happening............ This is what happens when your local economy is built entirely around a 4 month silly season which clogs up roads and discourages investment from large employers who's businesses simply can't function in a gridlocked tourist destination! Until tourists stop blighting our towns there will be no careers for locals. No future for the local kids who all know damn well they will almost certainly never be able to compete with outsiders buying a seaside home for retirement. There are no careers and never will be in seaside tourist towns and no prospect of ever owning their own home. Who wouldn't drink and do drugs!

Yep, wish they would stop in Devon, we're overwhelmed in the summer.😊

It's true that Devon is very nice and significantly closer than Cornwall to the rest of the country. We go to both, but would always pick Devon in the summer as Cornwall gets chaotic!

Most of London have moved there

I live in NC for 35 years and Asheville did not have the homeless problem till the politicians let drug users and dealers get away with anything and handed out benefits. So now Asheville attracts addicts who are often homeless. Asheville politicians created the homeless problem.

I live in California, 80 miles south of San Francisco. I visited Paignton seven years ago. What pisses me off is the Trumpanzees from Southern States trashing my native state of California for homelessness, while they have homelessness too. I'd like to go up to everyone who did so on You Tube and tell them to shove it and take their hypocrisy to Russia where they belong!

Torbay CCLOWNSHILLS just cut down all the historic Seafront Trees! As did Plymouth a few years back. Most likely to hid the damaging effects of 5G Towers roll outs! DESPICABLE the LOT of the TREASONOUS ONES that they are!

From my experience what the tourist towns need most are tourists. you know, working families on their holidays with some money saved to do nice things on their vacation. Take the money out of the pockets of the tourists, and tourist towns die. It's not rocket science. Have you tried telling tourists not to spend all their money on new iphones and smashed avocado on toast, or is that just what people like you tell the homeless and unemployed?

Good point about the police. Unfortunately, but too much of a venerable fact to ignore, some people need to see the presence of police to know not to give into their worst instincts. Police make it clear that the community has standards and expectations.

​@@dawggonevidz9140 sounds like someone is mad that he pointed out lack of policing leads to scum moving into an area. You know you don't have a point when you have to put words in the other guys mouth to walk away thinking you made a good argument lol. Your response addressed the one point you actually had anything to say about and glossed over the rest, leftist detected

Went to paington 5 years ago and it was bad then.

Nice

I’d love to urban explore that before they tore it down, bet that looked beautiful in there…before the wee runts probably smashed it to bits 😒

Much of the American story is based around the people and places of Devon, as I'm sure you're aware.

Imagine if your an American Indian how you feel?

I'm local and Paignton is really not that bad at all, it's really just a perspective, generally really nice place to live in this area and there are so many beautiful spots around this area, stunning coastline beautiful wild areas and lovely villages around to visit and the moors pretty much on your doorstep, a quick hop on the train you can be in Plymouth or the other way to Exeter, again a great location!

@@nellymanson 👍❤

@@GezzaGee Yes. Truly. With care -- W

Why???

@@a44489 Why what ?

I lived and worked there in the 80’s was a beautiful place with good friends and good memories... such a shame I’m gonna stay away n remember the good times we had ...

Make Albion Great Again

True. We have similar issues on the other side of the pond.

I can just see Colonel Hall indignantly holding his drink in the bar at Fawlty Towers, exclaiming, "No, surely not Torqay!" (or for that matter, John Cleese handling the interview at 4:00: "Excuse me, Queequeg...what can you tell us about Paignton?"

Torquay is supposed to be very tony, I thought. There's that seaside hotel made famous by Agatha Christie and all that. I visited Paignton seven years ago this March, stayed there in an OK motel near the shore. I got in a day trip to Dartmouth, by taxi and ferry, as the steam train wasn't running yet. Paignton certainly was a bit run down. Dartmouth was up market.

He didn't complain about money... he complained about kids drinking and being violent... and you don't know the homeless girls story. Russian sayings mean diddly squat.

It's not a Russian saying I've heard it all over the far east & from a Turkish friend. I think it's one of those phrases that every place has a version of. I think the sound of Safi's instrument is lovely; we shouldn't pre-judge how she got to where she is without knowing the details, but I hope she gets help, I saw enough there to see someone who can be a happy & productive citizen with the right guidance. The rotting fish saying is true though. We've had 14 years of austerity & it's been an unmitigated calamity. When you starve councils of funds the effect isn't noticed for a long time & then it's noticed all at once. We're now at the stage where the cumulative impact can no longer he hidden or denied.

Thank you for the kind comment, glad you enjoy the channel

Face to face or the monetary after Claire's?

You think Labour would be any better? People need to stop thinking in Tory/Labour models and think who is in the pay of the World Economic Forum. Both parties I would say are corrupted by the WEF, in fact all major political parties are that are offered to us - that's why they are offered to us.

I couldn't agree with you more. I live in the bay and its really bad. By no means do I support these modern Conservatives, they act more like labour politicians than Conservatives. We have migrant hotels all over the place, very poor people with no aspirations, a lack of things for kids to do and everything just seems rundown and outdated.

Liebour is no better. Don’t be fooled.

@@Happyheretic2308 13 years!

Seems pretty rude to have a camera in her face.

National debt has doubled, what austerity caused that then?!

Thatcherism in 2023

Without austerity EVERYTHING would be more expensive because the government would have needed to inflate the money supply even faster to pay for its massive deficits.

@@villhelm OR, Tax the wealthy

Stop the rise in our population ...

It's like the Broken Window Effect.

Bloody pizza shops everywhere.

@@briancohenthepfjmassive.4769 That's fine if you like the 'cheese analogue' they use.

@@briancohenthepfjmassive.4769 agreed. Essentially, a boozy piss head pizza shop will bring lower taxes and revenue into a community that a high end up market retailer- for example

Lots of the shut down shops has to do with this stupid Corona Restrictions…

She’s naturally gifted at it.

Agree with all your comments ❤

I think he hinted at it by saying they are 'run of the mill' stores

Our town doesn’t have as many chain stores as that - they’re just empty.

Theres literally tons to do. For example, learn IT skills with a view of getting a well paid job in the city

There wasnt stuff to do in the 50s but the kids didnt end up on the rampage then....

Absolute BS excuse. There is more to do than ever before.

Nonsense absolute nonsense . Scum kids from scum families will always do scum things .

I think the goverment have closed down alot of youth clubs across the country.

Nobody knows what happened to that young girl in her life to get her where she is and what she might be trying to block out, so never judge anyone! I knew a guy who had a great job top management and was on great money and had a great career, and I worked with him for about 5 yrs till I moved area/job. I saw him about 15 yrs later as I was in an old local shopping centre I used to go with friends for food/shopping and he was on an old battered BMX bike, had a tag on his ankle and I knew it was him straight away and I stopped to say hello, he remembered me, but he was an absolute tramp, I didnt judge him, had a polite chat and we went on our way, but to see that guy who had a great life to turn into, he was clearly on the brown or cra.ck was so shocking on how someone's life can go totally down the toilet, I still think about the chap now and hope hes gone back the other way and got sorted out. But it was quite sad seeing that young girl and the situation she was in. Ive got daughters and tbh I just wanted to give that young girl a big hug, some food and water, and somewhere nice for her to stay that night, so sad but I hope she gets better.

I agree that everyone is friendly, I've found that, in Devon as a whole. The whole county has very low wages and proportionately expensive housing. South West Water, covering the area is also one of the most expensive in the UK. I work in Paignton a few days per week and also in the surrounding areas and haven't seen that problem side at all. I wonder if, after those newspaper articles and media coverage, that the police and council have felt any pressure to address the issue(s) properly?

Take note of the headlines in those papers, all using the same language. Lazy, sensational "journalism" which looks coordinated. The town is suffering from a low economy but let's pretend it's the "yobs" that are the issue. Even using the word "yob" is a throw back to the 80s under Tory rule.@@Angelaah.

I did drainage surveys on both the Paignton and Foxhall Co-Ops too. In fact, I think there's a third Co-Op on the outskirts towards Torbay. They told us it was tricky in Foxhall but, being from East Leeds I couldn't really see it. Had to sit in that car park at Foxhall Co-Op for a few hours as they had a manhole in the shop they wouldn't let us open while the shop was open. Turned out it was the beer cellar for the pub that must've been in that building in the past. Thinking back, we did get a few looks in the car park and there were boy racers smoking skunk in their cars but, that's nothing novel today is it.

The UK is twinned with Jurassic Park It's like the parrot in the Monty Python sketch. It's dead; it's rolled down the curtain and joined the choir invisible. And all successive governments have done is bang in a few more nails to keep it on its perch. This is an ex-country.

@@helmethead72 You know there is actually Jurrasic Park display on Paignton Pier.

@@helmethead72 Jurassic Park ? Some elaboration there would be good, you think if we 'ripped all the fences down' life would be good?

@@chatteyjyou missed the point 👉🏼 We’re going the same way as the dinosaurs, which, if you didn’t know, are extinct! ‘Jurassic Park’ does not literally refer to the film 🤦🏻‍♂️ or any event that happened in it 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️
