I speak to Neil who’s been living on the streets of Manchester for 6 months, after suffering depression. From a £50k a year job, married with 2 kids, to having nothing at all.
Also I’m shocked, by the zombie like scenes, from the all too common sights of people high on spice. #manchester

    Another brilliant informative gem my man. Neil is truly a life lesson. Erudite, concise, articulate, educated, skilled and yet still finds himself on the street!! It’s also deeply moving to think he has children. Judging from this video he displays no obvious signs of alcohol/drug abuse and I wish him as I do all people in this predicament all the best. I think there’s hope for Neil. Remember everybody has a story to share. That’s why I love this channel, you listen and you meet these people on an “honest level”. Never judge a book by its cover either folks. It’s a cliched quote but “this could happen to anyone”. A simple acknowledgement costs nothing and yet it’s perhaps a sad indictment of human nature, in that we can’t even afford these poor souls an acknowledgment. Part of the problem is how “hardened our own souls have become”. Tent cities are unfortunately growing by the day and has become an accepted part of modern day living. The roof over your head is a blessing so remember to count it in your prayers. I fear channels like this one are on the cusp of something catastrophic and failing in our society. One can only hope things get better but the signs are ominous. Keep up the amazing work!! 🙏❤️.x

    Terrible situation particularly for the young woman in the wheel chair - how does this happen in 21st century UK???Why don't the Government/Local Councils/Authorities show compassion for these people???

    Its sad to see people need to remember, a lot of these people are products of a failed system. The drug use is often due to homelessness and not the other way around. This is unacceptable and awareness needs to be raised.

    Spice was horrendous in 2009, I can only imagine it's gotten much worse since then.
