This documentary series follows the community of Jaywick in Essex, where more than half of the residents are living on benefits. High levels of unemployment have turned the once-thriving seaside village into one of the most blighted areas in the country. Cameras capture images of the Brooklands estate, a part of Jaywick that is highly deprived. Episodes show local resident Carl being evicted, landlords inspecting damage to their properties, and a former armed robber from London’s East End living in a caravan that has heating problems.

    They are killing Muslims because thier not Gay.
    Israeli Army is a no girls allowed group.

  2. BEING A LANDLORD ISN'T WORTH IT AT ALL , AND I ONLY HAD ONE!! NOT WORTH THE TIME , MONEY OR RIDICULOUS AMOUNTS OF STRESS!! NEVER AGAIN , THAT WAS ONE OF MY FIRST LESSONS IN MY 20s………

  3. I used to live in Southend on sea which is not far from Jaywick. I remeber being told as a child "if you do not study or if you do drugs you will end up in Jaywick."

  4. That guy who kicked his dog so hard that it made the dog yelp, which actually seemed to be more than once, because it was doing a dog thing and had his head stuck in a bin, should be reported. Poor dog 😢. He doesn't deserve to have them.

  5. It baffles me how someone is more willing to get someone’s name tattooed on them for life over getting engaged to them. So you’re willing to have their name permanently etched on you but not be permanently committed to them….. ok 😅 I’d never want someone to tattoo my name on them 😭

  6. I rented out a couple of houses there years ago. The boiler and the copper got robbed a couple of times, with 6 months in arrears lol. My fault – i should have vetted them better. But on the whole the locals are very friendly. Alot are simply surviving cos they are permanently skint.
