In the midst of the UK's deepening social emergency, John Harris and John Domokos go in search of hope, touring England and Wales to meet the new breed of community activists dealing with mounting hunger, poverty, and loneliness, but who are also trying to push towards a better future.
All the groups covered in this video are part of Locality, one of two charities the Guardian is partnering with for its charity appeal.
Locality and Citzens Advice are at the heart of the voluntary response to rising poverty and hardship in some of the UK’s most deprived neighbourhoods. Their vital work delivers immediate crisis support and hope for the future.

@truxton1000 Год назад

In the end British people has to realize that the ambitions far far outweigh the income of the nation, the sooner British people realize that a huge cut in public spending is needed the better. Same problems all over the western world. Public sector budgets are higher than tax income year after year, decade after decade, this insane overspending will sooner or later need to stop, that's when the REAL problems start. And no, higher taxes will not work as higher income salaries is seeing a tax rate of 75% already, when you include VAT, council tax, inheritance tax, road tax, CGT etc to income tax, so nothing more to gain unless people are literally taxed to death.

John Harris basically stands for: "We need radical solutions to help normal people, just as long as that has nothing to do with Jeremy Corbyn or the left, or anyone with a solution that veers slightly away from the status quo." Yeah, let's just support a charity and keep everything exactly as it is. Perfect. Perfectly hopeless journalism.

Please help me with understanding how this is a win? £100,000 a year for 25 years is £2.5 Million for a wind turbine that costs £5 Million. I am an avid follower of Anywhere But Westminster due to its refreshingly open-minded, honest and curious form of journalism but am I missing something? Thank you

@markfarmer3948 Год назад

I was thinking the same thing....an investment loss of 2.5 million makes no sense

@trildi Год назад

They said this will be the amount that will get back to the community, i.e. the remaining profit after repayments to investors, etc.

@Samgurney88 Год назад

Presumably he means profit?

@animatedarchitecture Год назад

£100,000 is the profit that they get, it's only a percentage of the overall gains. I can only assume that the rest of the money goes into paying off the initial cost and cover maintenance.

@markfarmer3948 Год назад

@@trildi unless I am missing something but the journalist was clear when he said it would produce "£100,000 a year for 25 years" he said nothing about after paying off investors, but I presume that is what have to take into consideration as he wasn't explicit in his reporting.

I don't have much time for the Guardian normally after the seeing their platforming of culture war propagandists and vilification of Corbyn but this series and John Harris's journalism are excellent. I'm not feeling a shred of optimism personally but I'll keep watching and hoping.
