Dude, i swear to god. People in this country are becoming so ridiculous. St Pauls has it's issues, so do many areas of large cities all over the world. You can find shit in anything if you look hard enough, but I've always loved St Pauls, especially for carnival. The reason you were likely getting shit was for recording everything.
Here's some research for your video and the graffiti at the end of the BLACK WOMEN! "Carmen Beckford MBE -Carnival Queen.Activist for race relations. 1928 to 2016. Carmen is known as the carnival queen as she helped set up the now world famous St Paul's carnival in Bristol" SKETCHY??? ID CALL IT A "SHIT HOLE" 🤣 not that many ppl about because there sleeping off there SUPER T HANG-OVERS
There was bar there in the late 90's called 'Cosies' I think, where you could openly smoke weed, you could roll a joint up at the bar and spark it up and no problems, apparently the police were aware and were letting it happen to see what the outcome was… not sure if that's true, but I drunk and smoked there a few times, it was a good place!
awesome video glad someone has those balls to show how mess we live on this days how people are blind its trash on the streets noone careas as noses deep inside mobile phones than to see whats around. awesome video lots of love fella.
Looks ruff as fuck a tell thee.. Not joking, you know if the council were to cover over it that would be just a nice blank canvas for Banksy to get busy under the cover of darkness
You’ve literally traced the steps I do with my child every morning, St Paul’s is as sketchy as the next place, if you want trouble you can find it, but 90% of people are just happy to get along and chill, if you come there for the first time from a small welsh town and you become the minority, it might just feel sketchy. As a black man who grew up in a predominantly white area I know the feeling. But I also know once those barriers are broken down, You start to realise we are all in the same boat and just wanna get along.
To be honest mate this is absolute bullshit. I myself, a White person from wales moved to St.Pauls in 2016 Right at the end of it still being a somewhat rough place to live, there street gangs very visible with dealers on everystreet corner, but saying this, I used to walk home by myself every night and experienced few problems. although I did see some violent crimes and drug dealings…It seemed very much, if you weren't invloved with the gangs and kept to your self, you'd be fine. During the 80's 90's and 2000's it was one of the roughest places in the UK…..but since the early 2010s, the St. Pauls community has been probably the biggest victim of gentrification in Bristol. Being fairly central, the property has decent value and has largely been bought up by the white middle class with the residents and local culture reflecting this new demographic. Although some remnants of what it used to be like still remain your more likely to see……white hippies in the park practicing puy and hoolahooping and middle class families taking their pooches for a stroll than you are to see shotters on the street corner slinging crack. I could literally talk about this all day as someone who has first hand seen the shift in culture in St.Pauls but to be honest, most of the people who still talk about being rough are the young student population that have moved there and seem exited by the clout of 'Living in the Hood'. But this modern day it really isnt a particularly rough area, and isnt even the roughest area in Bristol, it Just gets abit more clout cause of the history and because it has a large black population.
This is the dumbest video I have seen in a long time. The North East of England has the highest murder rate in the UK. You walked around a mostly lovely neighbourhood (I live nearby) and showed us some graffiti, talking about how rough it is but with absolutely nothing to show for it. Clap clap, do you want a gold star? Hartcliffe and Knowle West are genuinely rough areas of Bristol, why didn't you go there? Although please don't, we don't need any more poverty p*rn vloggers with no idea what they're on about giving our city a bad rep when it's undeserved. 'Bring at least two people with you' is a ridiculous statement, St. Paul's is safe to walk through any time of night. Go back to Wales and take your judgemental uploads with you.
These people just revel in their own degeneracy. You can live far better than this nowadays in most of SE Asia. Liberal values and mass Jamaican immigration have been catastrophic for Britain.
Bro, you're far too old to be making up bullshit for YouTube(unless you've had years of heavy drug abuse and buy your face you definitely could've done) especially for this little amount of views don't know where you got the murder capital of the UK statistics from gentrification has hit hard and it hasn't been a high crime area for a good 10 to 15 years. My guess is you couldn't afford the train to London or your tag wouldn't let you go that far from Cardiff For the record I don't live in Saint Pauls. If you'd wanted to go to a high crime area of Bristol could've gone to the White ghetto, Hartcliffe, where there has literally been free teenagers stabbed recently
whatever the reason this is truly one of the most embarrassing vlog videos I've seen on YouTube and that's including the cringeworthy Thailand YouTubers.
Looks pretty harmless to me, interesting looking area, though maybe at night it gets ‘lively’ but it’s not dilapidated and covered in litter and fly tipping, street art reminds me of Ouseburn in Newcastle

If you was to go to St Pauls 20 years ago, you would say its quite pleasant now 🙂
St Pauls has been dodgy for decades. It's hardly news. Used to be a lot worse in fact.

Dope graffiti
This dude is clueless about St Paul’s and Bristol. Bristol is by far the best city in the U.K. .
@5.43 used to be a brothel/pub called The Horses Ear😂
Looks pretty harmless to me, interesting looking area, though maybe at night it gets ‘lively’ but it’s not dilapidated and covered in litter and fly tipping, street art reminds me of Ouseburn in Newcastle
Why the weird hype at the end? You only spoke to a couple of middle class students😂
