Braunstone 'Street Life' 1986 a taste of things to come?

The Braunstone estate of Leicester in the 1980's was officially one of the most poorest and neglected areas in England.
It was a predominantly English area with a small amount of settlers and as you can see the documentary maker made sure he captured footage of some of the few settlers for reasons unknown? With continued interview footage of a Scotsman too who was paid to work for the estate
(Helping himself to help others)
It begs the question why the Film maker didn't seek a continued English victim's view? After all it is an estate in the heart of England.

Braunstone had a unique community spirit with some of it still surviving although damaged due to many obstacles over the years.
This eye opening glimpse of poverty in the heart of England's past may actually be a taste of things to come for England again as we continuously ride the merry-go-round of Liebour/Conservative/Fib-Dems British rule over England which now has us in more debt than back in the 80's.
Some of the sound bites we come across in this documentary are the very same ones that are frustratingly spouted today -
"Eat or heat?" & "There are too many people in this country,"

Braunstone and England's entire English community needs to awaken from being anesthetised by consistent Labour, Conservative and now coalition Lib-Dem and Conservative British Governments ruling over us, who will only enslave us via big business for the sake of their wealthy pockets and when their boom goes bust they will only continue to take it out of as if their careless actions are our fault and so we need to get off of this LIEbour/CONservative/FIB-Dem meri-go-round of abuse and use our English people power to bring on a much needed change for the better for our English community and landscape England.

Braunstone awaken! England awaken!!

@rodtemplar, You are no doubt talking of your youth in Braunstone in the 60's. Yes as youths we made the best of what we had. In retrospect as an adult now, would you want more than just tea & biscuits for your children? does it not occur to you that maybe 'putting up & shutting up' builds an easy controlled community, a community destined to be doormats? Whilst we 'put up and shut up' we are left behind as other communities shout from the rooftops their wishes, needs & concerns & are helped.

@coltsuperocean10,

on reading my post below concerning settler communities in Leicester connected to unemployment and illiteracy etc do you have the same abusive view of these settler communities now in the same situation, or do you only reserve such abuse and negative comments for the English community in the same situation? which is discrimination of course and here you are throwing around the racist accusation??? this is typical double standard anti-Englishness which we can pull apart easy.

Leicester has the 4th highest rate of unemployment in Britain. The English becoming a minority. It has high rates of illiteracy, is one of the worst 5 municipalities in England for education. A survey "Muslims in Leicester" says that Muslims in the city are prone to underachievement & unemployment and says the Spinney Hills Muslim area, has the lowest rate of full-time employment, highest rate of unemployment/economic inactivity/"no qualifications" for work and highest level of social housing.

@Ashtree1976,

The 'Family Rescue Centre' was a state funded 'placebo'.

It was part of the system that caused the poverty; do you think the system would set something up to oppose its own system? It was set up to give the impression that you were being assisted by the state when it was just giving you the bare essentials which is all the state wanted you to have whilst they had comfort and at times it couldn't provide the basics i.e. Did the parents look thankful with it in this film? No.

@Ashtree1976,

Yeah thank heavens they didn't take you away from your family due to the poverty that their system caused? Werent we lucky to not know where the next meal was coming from? to have parents with depression? to have lived in deep poverty where our families paid for rich Brit greedy Government's colossal miss handling of the economy? Not forgetting those who had their kids taken from them despite the Family Rescue Centre due to bad parenting of not being able to afford Gas&Electric?

Sounds to me like you are doing a lot of whining. I grew up on Hand avenue in the 1960's and we had shit all to call our own. We were lucky to have tea and biscuits for dinner! None of us ever whined. Ask the Cooling family, or the Tamms, or Nethercotts, or Trevors. We are the REAL brauny boyz!

1) Not a fat person/fat couples/mothers in sight (unlike Leicester today)

2) Everyone filmed appeared reasonably presented and clean (unlike Leicester today)

3) The film depicts images when we still felt English (unlike Leicester today)

I could go on...

Most the taxes/ benefits now go to THE OTHER SIDE OF THE CITY / Ethnic side of town (which is vast - white british are now the minority in Leicester, fact).

You sponging bastards have never done a days work, and never will!! You are too lazy and too reliant on hand outs!! People from places like Braunstone make me sick!! Lazy bastard idle racist chav retarded thick as pig shit gypsy bastard cunts!!

[Ashtree1976]

Bloody hell!...I was born around there, thank heavens for the "family rescue centre", who knows what would happened to "me-mam", if they hadn't been around.
