The Homeless Neighbours of the Seaside Rich & Famous 🇬🇧

The bloke you interviewed living on the beach seems a really sound and switched on geezer. I wish him all the best.

Thanks Wendall for making me me feel grateful. The divide between the haves and have nots is off the scale. A society is best judged by how it treats its most vulnerable. We are failing on all counts.

I could just watch a whole 1 hour segment with you and Leyton. Cool dude. Takes accountability and has a right mindset i wish him all the blessings.

Leyton is proof of one wrong decision what could happen. What a humble fella who just rolls his socks up and gets on with it.

Mad seeing someone walk through where you live and interview someone you have known for over a decade.

A great example of the contrast between the 'haves' and the 'have-nots' in broken Britain. The gent living on the beach is very articulate and personable so I hope he gets himself back into work and housing.

Bournemouth is a place I know well as my late son lived there for 5 years and for some of that time he worked for a homeless charity and witnessed everything that Wendall has touched upon. What I have come to believe is that there is a lot of money to be made out of the drug and alcohol dependent and the homeless. We Are Humans seems to have the right ethos, but many of the charities become businesses who need to fund highly paid managers, which in turn means that they need to maintain a cohort of destitute people to keep afloat! I wish there was an answer, but it is worth noting that accommodation doesn't appear to be in short supply when the government need or want it.

I live in Boscombe and love it, my flat looks over the painting of the owl! Yes there are problems but I grew up in Redditch (another West Midlands guy!) and have lived in London and Devon and Boscombe is much better. You're right about the sense of community, a lot of locals are working hard to improve the area.

The majority of homeless in Bournemouth aren’t from Bournemouth, a lot of homeless come here for the summer and then more and more have stayed as the years have gone by, also Bournemouth had a ridiculous amount of rehab houses, where courts from all over the country sent there addicts to Bournemouth, it was so bad there were over thirty rehab/ bail hostels, eventually people had enough and some were closed, those that stayed became homeless and many still remain.

The fella from “ WE ARE HUMANS”, what an amazing person and society. God bless him.

The guy that you interviewed is a true survivor loads of wisdom

Shocking & Bravo for educating the ignorant public 👏

Thank you wendall for highlighting what we are humans organisation is doing for people who are less fortunate than ourselves without prejudice or questions ♥

Leighton seems to have it together more than i do! I hope if i find myself in that position i can hold myself together half aswell.

I lived in Bournemouth for 4 years about 10 years ago. There was always an issue with alcoholics. They used to congregate around ASDA causing all sorts of issues. I worked in a bar and often walked through there alone late at night and had to deal with them aggressively begging. After watching this it does seem like it’s got a lot worse. I never saw people camping underneath the pier.

Andy is a top bloke and so was Chris Curtis before he passed away RIP Chris we are humans are the best I live in boscombe I have been here over 30yrs now I was homeless for 3yrs but doing ok now I watch you quite big wedall keep it up mate

I grew up between Poole and Bournemouth in Parkstone in a pretty well off area. It’s been a tad depressing looking at the state of Bournemouth now although there has always been homelessness and drug abuse it’s easy to see past it unless you’re actively looking out for it. Boscome has always been rough, it’s not really changed by the look of it. I moved to Australia in my mid twenties and went back to visit Bournemouth a few years ago before COVID, even before the pandemic started there was heaps of closed down businesses.

I really love this video, you always give an honest review, thanks for the link to donate. The beach reminds me of Ventura, California, we have a huge homeless population too, my feeling is they all have a story to tell, and some remind me how quickly they go from losing their job to losing everything within months. Thanks for giving people a voice

I live in Bournemouth trying to find somewhere cheap and private to live is harder than life itself.

Andy from We Are Humans. Never heard anyone talk complete and utter sense, superb video. Have been borderline to being homeless in my life and been very lucky to have friends and family to make a change, well aware of others that dont have that option.
