Oldham: Child Poverty, Prostitution And Racial Tensions

In this episode I visit parts of oldham to explore the statistics that parts of Oldham are the highest in the north west for child poverty. During my visit I found it quite unusual the number of people who wouldn't appear on camera or talk with me, I later spoke with a number of people who told me there are issues in regards to cultural tensions in this area.

You can now follow me on all my social media platforms including TikTok and Instagram, links in bio

Thanks all

This was just a day walking around guys. I aim to film documentaries on current UK issues as close to TV standard as possible. It's really difficult but I manage to do it.

I'm currently filming a documentary on 'the cost of living' I've been to several homes in which families just simply can't survive even with jobs.

Please if you enjoy, subscribe to the channel. It takes weeks to organise, find the people, film and edit. And I do it with the intention of making good viewing for you guys and to share awareness for the causes.

I hope you're all well. ❤📽

So sad to see the absolute poverty in the North West of England!! Played rugby league here in Ireland with so many great lads from the North-West of England. Hard as nails! Would absolutely split you in two but be the first to help you up and buy you a pint!Our neighbour next door was a Manc and he was such a lovely bloke! Nothing was ever too much trouble. I wish the people in the North-West all the best ❤❤🙏🙏

i'm in Chadderton, i think one thing i would say about this video is you seemed to stick to the middle bit, i'm in the south chadderton area, have been all my life, literally on the border of Manchester, cross the road at the back of my house and you're in Manchester. and ive got no desire to live anywhere else, at least not in Oldham. ive got everything i need round where i am. And i think if you went mainly to the west of chadderton you would find quite a lot of property worth a few quid. and North Chaddertons got elk mill shopping area, the football club (Fingers crossed for next weekend!) the hospital, that as a disabled person ive made a lot of use of, and prefer to other local hospitals ive visited. i think the thing about good and bad people, can't that be said for everywhere? and you get good and bad whatever the colour of your skin is, like where i live if anyone causes trouble its the 'native' hoodies and baseball caps at it. im literally 5 minutes walk from a hotel housing immigrants, i dont think ive ever seen them, nevermind had any trouble. good is good, bad is bad. As for quoting the Sun, really wouldnt do that if you want facts.

I felt this one was very flat as no one would talk on camera. Some of the stuff I found out on this trip inspired me to go back and film my newest documentary on the red light district.

I live a mile from the Oldham border, some parts of Chadderton are quite well off,

I wouldn't mind a chat regarding cannabis. I'm ASD, ADHD primarily hyper and smoked cannabis for 24 years. Penalised for years and now it's like oh yeah it helps people like me!!! Also I'm from Oldham and I found it quite hostile.

[ldervan]

The part of Chadderton you was in is just about over the border from Westwood. Chadderton has some very affluent parts.

[starur]

Oh yeah I like your attitude towards not judging. So refreshing. I'm sick of watching racist videos.

[johorrocks]

This is the second video I have watched of yours and like what you are about.
Chadderton seemed like it had no community feel to it, the Wonderlust bakery looked great, just the surrounding area let it down.
There is a lot of poverty in the North west, some people would be offended by that but it is true. I am from the North west and don't think they realise this. Lifestyle choices doesn't make them bad but better education and influences would help.
As for legalising cannabis that's a bone of contention, for medicinal purposes no issue with me, otherwise for me it's probably a no, the consequences of habitual use are not good for people. the sad element gets to me, we're all human and want a nice life and to be happy with what life throws at us, the harsh reality paints a sad picture that we don't all live in harmony.
Keep up the good work, I am working through your videos.

You could have chatted to me, mate. I'm from Oldham.
I would have thought other areas had more poverty, not chaddy, so I learned something new.

[AaliyahFictional]

Chadderton has a high asian community, there are areas segregated to asian, whites. Some areas are mixed. There are slight tensions between white people and asian but its not all the time just here and there.

Your in a place called Clarke well and the tall building is not the police station it’s the civic centre.

NO THAT IS BARKER STREET ESTATE AND A FULL ASIAN AREA

Its good seeing people do this in oldham maybe it will give those with enough power to at least budge whilst more people are becoming aware. I wish auditors would dig deeper though. They seem to be all over the police but what about the councils? They share a good amount of blame for people being in these positions.

[Riyadulslam]

Live here. You guys need to be careful as they can do something to you.

I was born in Oldham in 1967. We left in 1978. Was brought up in sholver. Went bk to visit my place of birth 2 years ago. I couldn't believe how much it had changed. For the worst I'm sorry to say.

[NorthernStarseedTarot]

I think it's the area you're in. The closer you get to manchester, the more standoffish the people in my opinion.
If you'd have gone to the other side of town, Greenaces, Lees, Littlemoor, and Waterhead, it's a lot more friendly.

[JamieCurranthemagnificent-zh]

Ive lived in Coldhurst and Chadderton along with Werneth and many other places around the Oldham area, there's good and bad people from all races and in all communities, usually the one's that cause the trouble are the younger generations!😂, anyway ive just subscribed, takecare mate!🙂✌️

[magpiethiefsilva]

Definitely not for young people who’s brains are not developed, my daughter has schizophrenia because of cannabis at 15

You bring your own bag to Asda so why not your own shopping trolley?
