The Poorest Town In Britain: "We Live On Nothing And We're Just Surviving"

It’s a weekday morning on Grimsby’s East Marsh estate - where residents are beginning their day in the poorest part of the nation. Of course, that’s not to say everyone here is living on the poverty line - but the data is striking.
The average annual income for an entire household here sits at just £22,000 a year. That’s over £10,000 less than the UK national average - and almost a staggering £86,000 below London’s affluent Clapham area - which has the highest in the country at just above £108,000.
For hundreds of years this port town in North East Lincolnshire on the River Humber estuary punched well above its weight.
It’s fishing industry became known around the world - and at one point the town became the largest and busiest fishing port on earth. But after the industry started falling - poverty came next.
And with the fish gone - the town changed with Job losses, low wages and a lack of infrastructure.
Today average annual household incomes in the town’s East Marsh are the lowest of anywhere in England and Wales - making it the poorest part of the country.
This is Real Britannia.

    I was born and raised in Grimsby and I left the area 20 years ago. I pop back to visit family and after a couple of days, I've well and truly had enough. Each time I go back to Grimsby/Cleethorpes, all I see is further deterioration of the area. I last popped over to Grimsby over the Christmas period (2023) and I was absolutely horrified to see the state of Victoria Street, The Riverhead, Grimsby/Cleethorpe Road and the seafront. etc. The place is an absolute dump to say the least. As for the so called regeneration project at the Riverhead, what an absolute eyesore that is. I really can't see that particular project even being finished. I feel so sorry for anyone that has to live in Grimsby/Cleethorpes. There's nothing there for anyone. What gets me is that the MP's still harp on about the fishing industry. The glory days are over and they wont ever be returning. They should have been encouraging further investment along side of fishing for when the area fell on hard times. Grimsby/Cleethorpes is so back ward. It's like people are living in a time warp. It saddens me to see the state of the place as I reflect back on how nice it used to be living in the area as a teenager.

Of all the areas she lived in she said Grimsby was the worst.

    Condensation mould is caused by not knowing that all homes need to be ventilated. One cant cook, bath, dry clothes indoors all winter without opening the windows. Windows on non bedrooms should be opened before bed for 5 minutes.. And bedroom windows opened for five minutes in the morning. On mild sunny winter days, windows should be opened wide for a good airing. .

    Children = child benefits = money. She wouldn't get £2000 a month without children. Then when she has the children, she can complain about not being given enough to look after them to play the victim card. It's the Utopia of the Soviet Union. No one has to work, but everyone gets fed. Weirdly, the Soviet Union collapsed while working towards this Utopia, so I'm not sure what went wrong. Maybe, just this crazy theory I came up with, maybe, not working and getting everyone fed requires more than a belief in this left-wing ideology.

    Idk if anyone will get to see this but anyone struggling with black mould and condensation in the home, please put some money aside to invest in a dehumidifier! It makes such a big difference and is less expensive to run than having the heating on to beat the condensation. There are expensive ones but you can get low wattage ones for much cheaper and the lower wattage you get the cheaper it is to run, 157w is 5p an hour(Dec2023). In my experience, the money you save on the heating means it does pay for itself. It’ll dry your washing, remove the humidity so as not to add to the mould & is much cheaper than using tumble dryer.

  • @KrysRevamps

    It depends on what is causing the issue in the first place. It all comes down to habits in the household. If the mould is caused by drying clothes then a heat pump dryer is 5 times more efficient than a dehumidifier. If the issue is coming from poorly ventilated bathrooms/kitchens then simply installing an extractor fan and draft stoppers is the solution. There is no point in running dehumidifier if the source of the humidity is resolved. Dehumidifiers are actually the worst possible thing you can do if you don't know where the moisture is coming from, as it will hide the cause even more so. A neighbour ignored his shoddy leaking roof until it fell on him from rot... all because he thought the "dehumidify fixed his mouldy ceiling problem" so everything is good.

    It can depend on which city you go to. We used to have the Dutch...(which we have always had)... and they grow vegetables for us here in Sheffield.. and most restaurants used to use their veggies.. we have an airport that flies veg and fruits into the North... so the wholesalers sell to us.. and then local restaurants would go there and pick their best.. and cook etc. That had been a long way to get things going. It is when.. well... lots of overdevelopments now. People think that it was clever to build new high rises... that drove and collapsed the entire supply chains. So everything is now closed. Lots of internal loans.. bankrupt the entire town... and decimated it. Cos the council assumes that is the way to go? So over development happened.. and in a single fell swoop... that whole idea of "European project".. went under... and we collapsed.... People ran. After that. We consolidated our energy suppliers... and that went to Germany.... Even some odd houses.. still don't have good heating. But many houses went through an actual retrofitting piece.... So people kept going and going etc... Refitting each house etc etc etc... So.... And it boosted higher prices.. and those went under as well.. so this is why, we now have this big North and South divide.... as well.. and some bankrupcies are happening... A lot of people homeless... etc etc.. And running restaurants are no longer amenable... Some people should NOT have sold their houses... at all.. or anything. Cos they shouldn't have retrofitted to this high extent... Anyway... from a 1k house, turned into an expensive 160k. And the food is not even... it is not reasonable... so nobody buys it. At one point, people were trying to push for mortgages for the sake of mortgages... it is pointless. (A lot of councils are actually bankrupt.. and we basically serve the euro..... so yeh.. please don't complain an insult us though... cos even the colonial countries.. are now cramming into the UK too....) If we abolished the euro.. I won't cry. Sorry, but I won't... I still remember when Europe had their own individual currencies...

The thing is, IF you want more people to come to an area, YOU MUST SPEND MONEY TO IMPROVE the housing & streets in the area FIRST (IF NOT equally to the town centre), because, WHAT IS THE POINT of having a nice 'Flashy town centre' /hopping area with 'Artistic' bendy lamp posts and a 'Cutesy fountain with lights, IF the housing and streets around that flashy town centre is delapidated, mouldy, crumbling and basically...

    They know poor people just spend it on drugs and booze. If they let normal people, the 30 million have 2000 a month inflation would go insane. Unfortunately they need to control that 30 million by making it look like we need all your money to support these people. It's bs really just about controlling the average man just you wait in 10 years time when there's another 7 million people chasing what you want to buy each month.

    @nkycardcollector Its a long one this one lol, just wanted to give plenty of info, 2k a month in this town will get you a 3 - 4 bedroomed house to rent with a front and back garden, pay for all your utility's that's including internet and council tax, a good 3 - 4 weeks worth of food, and you'll have some extra for yourself too, this is with kids and extras living with you. I live here and have done for the last 31 years, and ngl but I have seen that woman around the town many times, it is just money management and lack of sense/education, she gets 2k a month, thats without her partner working too (Meaning they both don't work and are being given that from the government) Online shopping IS NOT cheaper than going around town shopping either. We have poor and posh areas around the town just like anywhere else, its just a much lower cost of living. Thing is with these videos they only film in the worst areas and exaggerate alot, most of the poorer folks that don't work do get help like income support & jobseekers allowance. I would say you do need to take into consideration with all this as well that we do have many differences to you guys over there in the USA too, like the comment says before mine, we have free education, free healthcare alongside this our taxes are taken care of by our place of work (unless your self employed) Our cars are cheaper to buy and run, gas is cheaper too, our rent is far cheaper, the price of things in shops will be that price when you pay for it, so if it says its £1 its £1 the vat is already added onto it. British Money has more value to it compared to the US dollar, this makes a difference too. (For example $6.7k converted into British pounds is £5,3k) Everyone here by law is to be paid a living wage when working also so theres no tipping system in shops/cafes ect. (There kinda is but its only in certain places, you don't and are not pressured into giving tips, you only do so if you really want to, it would be illegal to make people have to gain tips to earn a wage here, you get monthly wages and you keep your tips as extra) Its pretty much we are very similar to you guys in places, but we have a lot of differences in lifestyles, laws and culture too.

    You have a completely different way of living over there. We dont pay for education or healthcare. 2k a month should be just enough for her to live, she shouldnt be "struggling" as she put it. She doesnt work and the money is tax free benefits. Doesnt pay for childcare. She likely doesnt pay rent either, meaning all she needs is to feed and clothe the kids and herself. Then theres the fact that the area is significantly cheaper than most parts of the UK. This is just a lack of budgetting.

It is not the responsibility of the State to support people who make poor choices. From the time, I could walk, I was taught good manners, and the principles of frugality. Such skills have served me well my entire life, and still continue to do so. I live like a queen on Social Securitiy.

    We are a 6 figure income couple and had very little saved and not much cash lying around the preverbal". '...don't have $500 for an emergency" that was us. The big thing was debt all kinds of it, cars mortgage (although our home isn't a high price one), student loans for our kids, and of course credit cards. One day we just got sick of being broke and went total scorched earth and became frugal overnight. Paid it all off, it took almost 5 years but now we have no debt and this year our savings rate is 50% on basically the same income that had us perpetually broke. So for us it is mainly staying out of debt and watching our spending, at first it was a real effort to save in our HISA and 401Ks but now it's actually fun watching our money grow. No car or vacation or neighborhood is worth being broke or financially unstable.

It is not an issues that state benefit are high, THEY ARE NOT. Its that wages are so low that people end up with state benefit (working tax credit) to top up their wage. WHY?! Why are companies being allowed to pay people such low wages???

    Exactly, I'm a student, living alone, working and studying full-time. After paying my bills, I'm left with just £250 per month. I survive on chicken nuggets and ready-made salads. No holidays, no drinks, no going out at all. And these people are getting £2000 tax-free, they don't work, they don't pay rent and yet have the audacity to complain that they are poor? Put these people to work, a bunch of lazy benefit leeches

    Don't need too live in a decaying dying town myself, every town in this situation is the same story, regardless of their previous industry, we had it all taken when we joined the EU. My hometown is the home of float glass, and Beecham's, pilkingtons is now owned by a Japanese firm though thankfully they've kept some production here, Beecham's left when GSK bought it, they moved it down south. The only thing we have left is our rugby league club, who thankfully are still able to shine. Other than that we have nothing. And yet despite this we're still expected to have hotels taken up by "refugees", our council is still relocating people here... despite the fact they say don't have enough money to collect the bins.

    The joy in that elderly woman's eyes with the fish and chips box shows that what that business owner is doing is helping these people so much more than just providing a dinner. The condescending social worker who can't believe someone is shouting is more like what they are used to as far as help. Chippy's is giving people a treat that is nourishing and that they can afford. That helps them spiritually and socially not just economically. They are treated with dignity, not like a charity case. The owner knows what he is doing. He can pay his bills and keep his community going for his part.

    Agree. It comes down to if you want to work or live off the state. You have to work hard for a job and then work hard to keep the job. I came out of the military and promised a job. Got home the company I was going to work for told me that there was no job for they were laying off. I looked around and found work. At first, it was not much but gave me a leg up to find a better job. I eventually ended up being a structures technician and am now retired. My wife worked as well. Never looked back. Still being offered jobs even though retired.

    Benefits are taxed. Not by much but they are and go towards NI which goes towards state pension. State pension may not be given in the end though as benefit claimants may not have enough NI points/credits, or they will get the lowest amount. Many will cry when it get to retirement age. Especially, if they’ve not saved towards a personal pension pot.

There is more than enough money in our country to make sure everyone has a decent standard of living but the Tories don’t want to give it to those who most need it, they’d rather keep it to themselves and their already rich mates. Punch up, not down because it’s those at the top who are to blame.

    Refugees are not in "Fine" hotels. They are sharing rooms in run down hotels with no services. The hotels are owned by Tory cronies who by design are the recipients of tax payers mone because of their Tory connections. The very tories who refuse to process these people in a timely manner or process them overseas like we used to. The very tories that caused Brexit and abandoned the Dublin agreement that allowed us to send them back. The fact that people are living in poverty without proper housing, medical or dental services, etc, in the UK is also by Tory design. It is they that decide we should have a very poor class of people, foodbanks and rough sleeping on the streets.
