I grew up in areas like this. There are many hard working people doing menial jobs. There are also lost causes, some are lazy, some have had very basic levels of education.

Historically the Labour party represented this type of English person. Now they're a party, rightly or wrongly, that give off an impression of being liberal, wealthy people who are more concerned about social justice causes rather than focusing on the average man or woman on the street. As I say, this is the perception they give off.

Farage is also a wealthy man who has never been working class. But he knows how to talk to people who feel as though Labour and Conservative politicians don't care about them.

The people in these comments who seem to take great pleasure in calling these people idiots are only contributing to the hopelessness felt by many working class British folk.

It's easier to fool someone than to convince them they've been fooled

Getting so bored of people blaming a party that has been in power for barely ONE year for damage done over FOURTEEN

"It actually feels like Farage is listening and he's not reading off a script"  😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

A lot of ppl need to realise nobody is coming to save them. Nobody cares about them. They can only save themselves and improve their own situation themselves.

Bro really wanted you to see his 2pac tat, thug life

But why Farage? He couldn't give a f

American here, very interesting clip and my two cents is - please don’t choose your version of Trump. He made the same promises Farage is making and now look at our nation. It’s a mess, hurting all those he promised to help, and hurting our Republic. I can see echoes of 2024 in the clip and take it from us, going down that road leads to nothing good.

I like how C4 News Team had to ‘invite’ police to the area.

"Only time you should look down on a person is when you're helping them up" nice line

Nigel Farage is not the solution to their problems. Nigel Farage is the problem. He was privately educated from a very wealthy family. Nigel Farage has never had to live in a deprived area like this.

I live in a similar area to this and I'd rather cut my hand off than vote for Farage, the guy who campaigned for Brexit for decades which worked out so well, the guy who praised Boris Johnson's "oven ready deal" and the guy praised Liz Truss' disastrous mini-budget. Why anyone would think he's the answer is beyond me. With his track record he shouldn't be allowed anywhere near number 10.

What is not being talked about is salaries in the UK are tragic. Instead of the grandoise schemes such as HS2- hubs and communities outside of London should have £100s millions investment in new industries and jobs. I live in London myself and the jobs offer salaries from 5 years ago. Unacceptable.

The UK faces deep-rooted economic challenges, including stagnant productivity, weak wage growth, and growing inequality. Years of underinvestment in the real economy — in infrastructure, skills, and innovation — have been compounded by an overreliance on housing and financial assets, pushing property prices up but doing little to boost long-term growth.

A fast-aging population, skill shortages, and post-Brexit trade frictions further strain the system, while public services remain under pressure. Without a decisive shift toward productive investment and strategic reform, the UK risks continued economic stagnation and widening social divides.

Understand that nobody is coming to save you except the person in the mirror.

Only forgotten by the likes of Channel 4 News. Some of us live there.

This is similar to where I grew up. You have to help yourselves, and take pride in yourself because nobody else really cares.

“We just saw a drug deal”
“Ok … well we weren’t here for that”
……….

Can you imagine struggling to buy bread and believing a london city banker is going to have your interests best at heart. Insanity

Half of the party are ex Tories... Amazing that people in dire financial straits think this lot will help!
