  • hehe,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,­,,, check my vid

  • Flock of Chavs at 1:08

  • The estate or estates in these photos look like the locations used in Misfits.

  • Mile End is a fucking shithole, sink estates and a massive homosexual population.

  • If you are Jarvis Cocker fan check out his wacky thought provoking off the wall 2hr show every Sunday on BBC Radio 6

  • Mmmm, my fave pics? either the car reversed up the swing or the bridge at 0.56 with the word "Nonce" sprayed on it

  • Did Mile End improve under the "right to buy" schemes? I haven't been to the UK in 20 years, and I remember the "council estates" in Hendon, the kids there were always angry and wild.

  • Brilliant video for Pulps Best song!

  • The most accurate portrayal of Tower Hamlets yet :) (I'm allowed to say that living in E2)

  • @bazhousecat Bollocks, I saw a white person in the video.

  • Don't be so hard on the UK's council flats, housing estates, or whatever they call them. The USA has equally disgusting public housing, and it's disgusting for the same reason as the British counterpart.

  • @MondoBeno Canada too...Toronto in particular since I live in the outskirts.. i think the province downloaded costs or whatever the logistics were, to the city and it cant afford to upkeep the places in addition to being public housing. The houses around town are boarded up with millions in backlog repairs awaiting that will probably never happen. the buildings, some of them, are horrible too. The city is the biggest slum landlord. Ironic. a political hot potato indeed

  • stupid video... class song, when music was good and relateable.

  • just like the rezo in rhyl north wales

  • great song

  • Oh my ! what a lovely neighborhood, I'd love to move in anytime (unless I stop smoking that damn crack!)

  • Had a good mate that lived in those buildings refurbished his flat and sold it for a fortune...now runs the Kenton pub in Hackney....He would say that is the real London and as any part of London it has pretty and dodgy part but got to admit Mile end is pretty ugly

  • sounds like "fun"

  • damn i thought that our kitchen was dirty, but after seeing those pictures i change my mind

  • Trainspotting was on the other night on Film4, it was good to hear this.

  • Lady in pink is hot!

  • ha, I didn't know mile end was a real place. Just a great song. I didn't take it that literal! 16 years and I just learned something new. "mile end" is really the name of a town? too funny.

  • @sophiefrost Its in London

  • I lived in Bethgreen..it s just the waiting room of mile end :)

  • is this not the original vid then lmao? good job if not :o)

  • Comment removed

  • my grandad wwas from plumstead not par away n the stories ive heard not much changes!

  • @stricklyshane haha I used to go to Plumstead quite frequently cause a friend lived there - it's fucking dodgy....

  • I'm from Mile End, and i can't disagree!

  • Fave Pulp song... thanks to Trainspotting...

  • OMG! So glad I saw this video! I am going to London soon - I know to stay well clear of the area of Mile End!

  • Oh my god the building I live in is on that video! (2.06)

    Shaaaame...

  • E3

  • This tune made me move to London. =) :D

  • @ComradePotato what? isn't that kinda counterintuitive?

  • think i can pay the rent in that place...btw what the woman in pink have done you!?! you must hate her...

  • think i can pay the rent in that place...

  • No, but if you want me to be ha ha ha , sorry but that was my reaction when i saw this

  • @MrsMillwall i am not from mile end, but i hate you

  • Bollocks,  am from Mile End hate this

  • @MrsMillwall are you the woman in pink?

  • @MrsMillwall the truth hurts...

  • @kerrstat Lol, well said.

  • @MrsMillwall Mile End means something difrent in this song....

  • @MrsMillwall Youre not that frying pan are you?

  • @MrsMillwall

    From QI:

    "Welcome to Tower Hamlets- let's make it..."

    "Out alive?"

    "No, let's make it happen."

  • Interesting to see photos of the Eric and Carnbrook estates ... actually, these days, for 'car' in the lyrics substitute 'person'. Balfron Tower is quite right, it's almost all Bengalis and Somalis around the East End right now. An improvement, to tell you the truth, on the often alcoholic leftovers from the 'white flight' to Essex.

  • Trainspotting

  • The tory invention of the 'non working class' is being implemented today by cameron just as it was in the eighties by thatcher. Key workers like Firemen, Nurses, public transport workers, even Police, SACKED! Soldiers injured in battle, SACKED! Why are hard working heroes who hold society together, being punished for affluent bankers mistakes? Why are bankers still being awarded bonuses? Its because the working class dont seem to have the guts or the brains to do anything other than moan. Rise!

  • @KevLancaster1 fuckin righ

  • @KevLancaster1 we should rob the banks and give the money to the poor. use computer hacking to steal £100 million back.

  • @KevLancaster1 dude get a life and an education.. england has always been better off under the tories. labour leave soo much mess and national deficite its inreal, as for your comment about `non working class` was an invention of the conservatives??? how old are you? you russian?.... course they were sacked!!! they weren`t doing their job...they would rather join the `union` and get everything for nothing rather than work!!!

  • this should have been on the Different Class album

  • @ruderkonge1976

    It kind of was....

  • мечта идиота.... Хочу в Ингланд...

  • I saw this movie for the first time; the directing and editing are pure bang on ( like the sound of a train moving along when he tests the shite ).

    A week ago I had dreamt I was a Canadian soldier , and I was walking around a dirty old town somewhere that had some kid that had an adults face looking like Karzai's / was handing out hash / Plunking chunks into peoples hands / but as you walked around for a bit it turned into a powder. ? The movie makes its point, stay the hell away from heroin.

  • this song is an oldie but a goodie. Mile End has changed a bit since its genesis.

  • the cunts that designed these areas have a lot to answer for . pretty sure they never lived in 20 story flat probably live out in a mansion in the countryside throwing tea party's.

  • I have some pride but I think my shame outweighs it....oh dear...maybe i'll hop out of Bethnal Green at some point....

  • kim an aggy job

  • thats cool :)

  • and this is'nt the theme song to "How Clean is your house" because???

  • Hillarious.

  • The perly king of the isle of dogs,,, he feels up childen in the bogs LMAOF

  • Its a good song, But jarvis is a bit of a knob for making it.

    trendy, artfarty types like him movin into the east end pushing out all the real east enders, And then saying it looks lie hell and smells like piss, when his parents are problly minted. !

  • @joepresland He's from a really poor part of Sheffield.

  • Great video, it compliments the song! Thumbs up!!

  • kl vid

    fab job!

  • What a tune...what a film..!

    Jarv = lyrical Einstein

  • Congratulation for the choice of the pictures !!

  • attack google now

  • This girl I used to sit next to in art class would tell me that everytime she heard Jarvis sing, she'd get jelly in her knickerbockers. I asked, whaddya get when you hear me sing? She laughed and quipped, it rhymes with loo, and has a nasty aroma. I told her, you must mean love bumps, and stong heart beats. She told me to piss off, but leave the Pulp CD. Teenage angst that was, pure n simple.

  • fuck off bbc ass hole piss off wanker.oh rmeebr the yankie.

  • @delpha3110-no offence but you cant talk becuase you cant even write

  • 90s were Grunge, but i like Pulp soooooo much!

  • eats london and londoers are scum

    nocnes filth cowrads sucm liars rpaist scum teroroist child killing scum filth cunts lairs nonce loving scum .

  • @delpha3110 your a clever boy aint ya????

  • What the fuck are you trying to say? 'Thsu' isn't a fucking word man! I'm sorry if you're dyslexic or something, like I'm not mocking you or trying to get into one of those pointless gay youtube arguments, it's just that even though I know you're speaking English, I have no idea what you're saying!

  • mi sex are full of it

  • quite aside from all the pointless arguing on this page

    this is a great song

  • nonce

  • home of the olipick 2012 games east side london town

    enough said

  • Olipick?

  • It's Burd'e'tt Road, not Burd'i'tt Road. I live at the East India Dock Road end and it's fine really. Only found this song on my i-pod tonight and had to check out if there was a video, sadly no proper ones. Good song though, classic Pulp:mocking but somehow uplifting...

  • good song....alrite video..to be honest that dont look that bad round there in actual fact....i want a cooker like that

  • you got it wrong mate, the people in the pics shouldn't be white ;P

  • sorry - i dont understand what you mean?

  • about 70% of the people there are from south central asia

  • i don't get your point?

  • nvm...

  • @BalfronTower he's saying your compilation isn't representative of mile end, whether that's true or not iono..

  • Comment removed

  • The photo of the individual urinating is from Ottawa, Canada. The person urinated on a WWI memorial. Caused a lot of anger.

  • you know him do ya?

  • mmm he's quite tasty - he could piss on my memorial any day ;)

  • @BalfronTower

  • song??

  • Mile End, by Pulp.

  • really great! this is one of my favorite songs. LUV the photos, they are great with the song. Very funny!

  • I thought Pulp were from sheffeild?

  • How come there aren't any Asians in the video? Mile End is packed with them.

  • hahahahaa

  • Ladywood in Birmingham is worse! I used to work in the CFT Mile End road Portsmouth.

  • I spent 2months in a Mile End squat last year (Shelmerdine Close), and was a great experience...

  • Nice video - 5 stars for that!

  • @anarquista66 I wouldn't give five stars to the neighborhood though....

  • sad...really, really sad:))
