Aye one of the few people I know on teesside, she did lose her job .She lost a decently paid job over that I believe
What do you mean? Some people have loved on "these estates" for 70 years maybe more, I don't live in the area and only did for 5 years of my life, but them estates have some of the best people on this earth.(including my 100 year old nan)How anyone puts up with living on these estates and amongst these utter .,,, I can only assume it’s a bit of excitement for a shallow, mundane and a morally and fiscally poverty existence.
Is there anything about how government cut backs and reducing staff has affected effective policing?It’s about the frontline officers and the absolute weapons they have to deal with on a day to day basis. Whatever the management get up to you have to take your hat off to these guys
If people with "Mental Health Issues" are "feral animals", you are very ignorant and insulting to millions of people.Get off your high horse. Living amongst feral animals is not something I’d happily do and I feel genuinely sorry for good honest people having to share good quality oxygen with them. The characters on this show must all have mental health issues. How else could you live like that.
She did indeed...and rightly so.She lost a decently paid job over that I believe
what was it she did?She did indeed...and rightly so.
2nd and 3rd generation born with very little chance in life. As bad as these people may seem nobody chooses to live like this. To me this is the long lasting consequence of thatcherism you cut all hope and opportunities in life and then people will behave like this.Get off your high horse.

Exactly, these people do not choose to be/live like this, they are a symptom of a broken system.2nd and 3rd generation born with very little chance in life.

You could raise their benefits and the majority would behave just the same.It’s easier for them to live like this than have to make the effort that most others have to make to hold down jobs,pay mortgages etc.Exactly, these people do not choose to be/live like this, they are a symptom of a broken system.
What I think needs to happen is first of all raise benefits to give the unemployable (and I don't think we should kid ourselves that there aren't lots of unemployable people out there) a respectable standard of living whilst at the same time investing money into education so that the young people living there now have a chance to break the cycle.
Problem is it would take 20 years or so to show results and so will not happen under the current system of 5 year cycles and under the current far right dominated press that we are living with.
Of course there are some, but they are a very small minority.You could raise their benefits and the majority would behave just the same.It’s easier for them to live like this than have to make the effort that most others have to make to hold down jobs,pay mortgages etc.
I have relatives who have never worked a day since they left school 20 yrs ago,they have no intention of ever working and when ever they are offered employment they either become pregnant or their new excuse is they have anxiety.
My response may be harsh but when you witness first hand such attitudes it’s hard not to be cynical.
That does not lead to the behaviour of some of these people40 + years of austerity,
closing drop in centres,
sure start,
youth clubs,
community centres,
sports facilities,
neglecting social housing,
increased homelessness,
reduced access to further and higher education,
removing financial support for those in further and higher education,
leaving those with moderate to severe mental illnesses to fend for themselves with little or no support,
offenders being released with no support in the community or pathways to jobs or further education,
reduction in services provided by the probation services,
social workers focused mainly on the elderly and child protection with little room for adult support, child support services cut,
especially CAMHS,
over three million children in poverty,
a massive reduction in real incomes and quality of life for millions,
reduction of in-patient beds,
deliberate dismantling of the NHS,
pricing people out of basic health care such as dentistry and opticial services by introducing prices,
prescriptions charging denying those in most need, unable to afford proper health care,
a shortage of community mid-wives and community support workers,
thousands of unfilled vacancies for community carers for the elderly and disabled - many created by restrictions on movement and employment by BREXIT.
.........leads to what we see today.
Like the lovely lads in Stewart park again, doing 30mph going between dog walkers, kids, prams, maps, etc. with zero care. They would be ar5eh0l3s whateverThat does not lead to the behaviour of some of these people
Raising benefits wouldn't solve anything IMO. If anything it'd probably stop those who do work that are only just surviving stopping work to be better off for not working. As sad as it is, some people embrace getting something for nothing.Exactly, these people do not choose to be/live like this, they are a symptom of a broken system.
