We back in business Got some new merch man I wanted to keep it simple this time man just got I got t-shirts classic t-shirts black and white with the new logo You know Sam and then we got the premium heavy tees You get me these are premium. I'm this this is a classic tee. I'm talking thin You know Sam, but you know how many times you're gonna wear this that one you see me This is a thin joint you put them on under a shirt the classic tee is your heavy t-shirt You know I'm saying all of them are embroidered. This is not a a Iron on this is embroidery. I'm talking stitched on and then you got the little hoodies, you know, you know UK weather crazy Anyway, don't forget. We do also have the Patreon just love loaded only fools and horses up there. Yeah, get me We also got the discord as well What they asking me for this is the two most dangerous towns in West Yorkshire explored though with crime stats Not stats Y'all got stats on the crime. That's tough It's always that every time I watch like one of these police shows is based in Yorkshire Your side got something on that I must not know about man. Y'all y'all wild over there in the York I call that the York. Let's get into it Took her to the York Explored for this video. We're heading up north to investigate two of the worst and most dangerous towns in West Yorkshire Sounds like my type of place The first on our list is Castleford castle, which is a town within the city of Wakefield when Wakefield, okay Okay, let's jump straight into the facts here Castleford has a go back. Go back. Go back. You're going too fast. Okay population 45,000 straight into the crime rate 174 or per 1,000 people actually Castleford has a crazy high crime rate of a hundred and seventy four crimes per 1,000 people Most of which happened in and around the town centre. It's crazy That's more than double the average crime rate across the UK, which is around 75 crimes per 1,000 Dang, it's looking like the west side of Chicago. We've got the whole corner boarded up So if you want to get mugged, assaulted or be a victim of any sort of crime Castleford is where it's very likely to happen But why would you want that right? See that's his outlook on it, right? My outlook is if you want to improve a city If you want to insert some Economic opportunities, this is where you insert it Just look at some of these recent headlines as well There are endless reports of robberies involving deadly weapons Various assaults. I'm not even gonna lie Most of these places take you to these neighborhoods and call them dangerous and call them this and that This is looking like it might live up to it though Packs of masks, jobs, running riots. It just goes on and on. I Actually visited the town centre early one Sunday, which was a deliberate ploy on my part Yeah, this is looking like it might live up to something But it worked out well because most of the troublemakers and people with dependency issues were probably hung over in the sleep It was actually eerie how quiet it was in the town. I expected more shops to be open But I guess it's more trouble than this look like light south side of Chicago for a lot of businesses There are loads of closed-down businesses buildings falling apart Junk all over the floor, and it's generally a pretty depressing place You can see here that the bank has had its windows put in I'm not sure if someone thought they were actually gonna pull off a smash and grab and get some money Exactly what they thought this is the first time I've seen a pound land with bulletproof metal sheet instead of windows Pound land. I heard a pound town, but I heard a pound land. That's tough And here are some more closed-down businesses around the center Dang No lie. I've never seen this many closed-down shops in the UK or in one area Walking just outside the center the housing estates are pretty run down as you can see And there are loads of alleyways running down the back of the houses Which I'm sure was where a lot of the crime goes down at night and during the day probably Apparently Castleford Bridge is quite the tourist attraction. So I took a look It was closed when I visited as you can see here and it looks like they're renovating it It's probably unstable. Oh, yeah, you brave. I can't swim. So I would have seen them fences and clothes lines I would have you got it. That's you cuz if it's all what I'm gonna do On the live myself, which is why I walked over it to find out what it's all about You can swim. I do enjoy the sound of running water And I have to say that this is one of the nicest moments I enjoyed while visiting Castleford. It is nice this right here The other town in West Yorkshire with a super high crime rate and severe poverty is Ponty Fract Ponty Fract This sound like it 30,000 146 per thousand Ponty Fract has a lower crime rate in Castleford, but it's still double the national average of 146 reported crimes for 1000 population The first thing you notice when entering Ponty Fract's town centre is the bunch of high-rise flats overshadowing the shops And these are the roots of many of the social problems within the area. I Couldn't find out how many people live in these tower blocks, but it's easily gonna run into the hundreds if not thousands And we know from a so sure and just a basic housing standpoint That it just doesn't work when you cram hundreds of people into these buildings Especially when a high number of those people are on benefits and close to the poverty line I've not seen such a dense concentration of tower blocks so close to a town centre before and they just seem to run on and on and on Here's the exit that leads from the tower blocks directly into the town centre That's crazy how y'all still got like tower blocks. Y'all call them tower blocks. We call them projects. They still like standing like this like You know, they tore a lot of them down in Chicago, but the UK y'all got a lot of these joints still We still got them in Chicago, but like They're not so In your face like it is in the UK. I feel like it's more in the UK Like vertical top like vertical projects like this Like there's some projects that are not vertical in the city, but but like vertical ones like tall like this is crazy As I tore the town, it doesn't get much better as you can see there are loads of closed-down shops boarded up buildings, etc All the things that are common side these days in small towns Some of the recent headlines that paint a picture of just how troubled Ponty Fract is. I knew my life. It's depressing me watching this I mean no holding include various robberies with dangerous weapons people making small holes in walls and climbing through to steal stuff professional pickpockets lifting stuff from pensioners murders more stabbings Morty million pound cannabis operations getting busted People wielding medieval weapons There's another shop window smashed in lovely And there's the courthouse. I bet that gets really busy. That's the courthouse during the week Anyway, thanks for watching. I'll leave you some of the best shots of Ponty Fract Thank you.
