The CHEAPEST Town In Britain | "Damp, Grime And DEAD Flies Everywhere!"

This country is a disgrace, I’m shocked that this level of corruption.

And yet we paying thousands a day to house illegal immigrants who complain about the food and accommodation. It's way past time to help people here.

Why don't people spend any time caring for where they live anymore? I know they are poor,  but a few people spending a bit of time. Picking up rubbish, weeding and sweeping, painting, basic house keeping would make the whole area so much better. I do a bit where I live. Just spend an hour every two weeks or so keeping a bit of a public footpath near my house free of weeds and rubbish. I wish more people would do just a little bit to care for the town they live in. There's flats around where i live and it seems like not even one person in them can be bothered to go out occasionally and pick up some rubbish or pull up some weeds. It doesn't take long or much effort to make a big difference to help yourself and your neighbours

What a disgrace the country has become. :eyes-purple-crying:

Stand up British people

This is 3rd world..unbelievable poverty...really shameful

And illegal immigrants , mainly economic immigrants are being treated better than former British soldiers or British cotizens. It is disgusting!

I'm an atheist who's received such kindness from the Church. I see our Christian countrymen being persecuted and I'm prepared to stand shoulder to shoulder with them. Well done, Church on the street.

If one clean ones toilet then shows you the type of tenant.. Having said that the damp and other problems should be taken seriously in the homes they rent. For the Army Veteran, where are the Military Charities???? The RBL hold millions in the bank for goodness sake spend it for those in need. Take a long look at yourself in the mirror. I grew up in a Council house, our garden was always tidy, like out neighbours and my mum scrubbed our front door step. We had pride and never was rubbish left anywhere. This is a big difference than today!!! Pride.

Should never have sold off Council Houses.

Having lived in Burnley from1975 to 1985 and going to Towneley High School I can say the decline was clear back then. When I returned to Burnley in 1987 it was no better, I left Burnley in 1990 and when I return today it is terrible. Nelson, Brierfield, Accrignton, Blackburn and Darwen are suffering just like the rest of the UK from decades of governments giving industry and jobs away to foreign businesses in far away places. No jobs, no hope. Britain is broken, not just Burnley!

I live near Burnley and what they aren't telling you is how the locals (not all of them but a lot of them) are out drinking at 10am Monday morning. Littering and vandalising etc. They also do it to themselves unfortunately

Left UK in 84 at 13 yrs old parents moved us to NZ 54 now went back in 93 to see grand parents, all passed now will never go back.

How do you think the native English people feel, when they can’t even find somewhere to live these days! 😎🥰🌍 sorry to say that, but I am 73 and have received a Section 21. I have nowhere to go yet…. Been looking for 3 months to no avail. The Council is 4-6 months wait, and their properties have no floor coverings or white goods. The private sector is astronomical so forget it. You need 5 weeks rent for a deposit and a guarantor, and an income of 30 times the weekly rent. The weekly rents are £280 minimum for a 1 bed. Bedsits are advertised as 1 bed also. I live in Brighton. Someone get me a dinghy! 😎🥰🌍

You can be poor and still have a clean house. Many people have mental health problems and many never learned how to take care of themselves.

Council in burnley wasted loads of levelling up money on replacement to a roundabout in the town centre which has caused chaos for months and nobody in the town wanted it. Loads of shops closed as a result. No wonder the town is in a mess. Why wasn't it spent on housing improvements?

how sad and immigrants get nice hotel rooms?

A couple in our fifties from the Midlands. We both came up in council properties. Our families too. It was normal, for working (actually working but low wage) class people and not a stigma at all in my entire big town. You wouldn't have been able to tell the difference between council and privately owned in our area. In fact, many passed, seamlessly, into the private market through "right to buy" over the years. We all had, spotless, nicely decorated/furnished homes which we'd done up ourselves with our own wages. Not much drinking (Party, wedding, Christmas, etc and occasional nice evening out) and no drugs (yes, really). In 50 years, I only ever knew two scruffy households and they weren't anywhere near as bad as in this video. The change came when it went from being classed as "council housing" to being classed as "social housing". That's the moment the authorities began to put the addicts, criminally minded, baby factories and work shy into the council houses. Now look where we are. We still live in a council property in the same area as it's a very low wage area. It is a high rise. Our flat is the nicest one out of hundreds, according to council officials and repair personel who have visited. Don’t give me all this and that, about, "why should I pay to decorate somebody elses property", when renting council/social property. It's because the "I" has got to live in it. We have less money per week than the average boozer/druggie throws away on their addictions. Then again, we work and are not afraid of cleaning products, DIY, paying our bills nor being sober. Our area is no more well off than Burnley. Our industrial past is considerably blacker (that’s a clue) than that of Burnley. Our area was that bad it caused the death on many a resident. Past descriptions described it as hell itself, in the not too distant past.

In the words of the great John Cooper Clarke, "I don't ever want to go to Burnley".

Another culturally enriched place...
