PLYMOUTH: Pigeon Lady, Too Many Vape Shops and Urban Decay

In our 206th video, we visit Plymouth and come face to face with its wildlife. It has its own crackie population, far too many vape shops and turkish barbers and more dystopian feeling architecture…

hello guys welcome back to the channel We are still in Plymouth and already you can see wow bit of a concrete jungle where I’ve just turned up and uh in the distance we’ve already got our first little homeless shelter right there But nobody’s home So I wonder if we can find the occupant and have a chat with them So already got our first vape shop but we’ve yet to find our first Turkish barbers It’s only about time right well I think this is the main shopping center in Plymouth but uh most of the buildings seem to uh well not most of them but quite a lot of them have been abandoned and are empty This normal for Plymouth like with the rest of this country Not to be discreet here but um already we have found our first Uber Eats Uh usual suspect Where’s the bike going there you go So by this rather nice fountain and a random ambulance we haven’t yet found our first Turkish barber shop but we have found an American candy shop So that’s one vape shop one American candy shop The high streets are becoming interesting Oh wait And I seen a German donab Ooh Barkcley I wonder if that’s been attacked by the proamass orcs Looks of it Barclays haven’t been attacked by the Pro Hamas hordes but they do have a security man in there which is becoming more and more standard throughout the country for Barclay’s banks because most of them do get attacked by the pro Hamas hordes It’s either red paint or hammer hammer time on the glass But um he has seen me but he’s not saying anything which is is good Bit of building work going on in the city center Whatever this is Hey mate What’s this going to be what’s this going to be um just be honest It’s going to be exactly well not exactly like what we did just down um like old time street I’m not local Yeah I I go around the UK just filming um different cities All right What’s there is it going to be a car park or No not a car park We’ll have a like a play area for kids Oh okay Water fountain running all the way from the top to this area Oh nice Make it look a bit prettier Yeah Yeah A lot more trees rather than this uh this this gray stone Yeah Yes Yes Now you understand Sounds like a good project my friend Yes It’s going to be all right Uh just some people didn’t like it when it started because we have to bring down some trees but those trees weren’t actually planted in a very good soil Oh okay So they weren’t destroyed They were replanted That’s good So we’re planting more trees than we cut before Okay Yeah So when’s it going to be complete then uh they are looking at a year plus standard We’re going all the way Yeah The two sites Yeah Yep Okay Well thanks very much for your time my friend No worries buddy Bye You too Bye now So there you go Some positive stuff for Plymouth And if any locals can tell you tell me your thoughts on that it’d be great to know Still no barbers but uh two more vape shops right next to each other Why do you need it why do you need two and then spin around and more empty buildings But uh they’re spending money on that So here we go guys Our fourth vapor shop Next to we finally found one and two Two barbers I wonder what they’re up to This building over here has got some artwork on it And I’m being discreet because they caught me filming They’ll probably chase after me with a machete This is what we like to see in a tiny corner of Plymouth There’s still some British pride with the flags Brilliant The fish bar Wait what’s it what’s it called cormal Street Fish Bar Look at that Flying the flags of pride going to lie but I don’t really get this place It’s like it’s like a like a movie set or a TV show set Everything’s just a bit I don’t know It doesn’t feel like it’s real It’s weird Hello Martin And again next to uh one another quite dystopian building here in Plymouth we’ve got uh some more Uber Eats drivers delivery riders which is surprising though because I don’t think there are any hotels in Plymouth The nearest one’s extra Whoa You guys like city rangers or something Yeah Oh cool What is your actual job title then cuz I’ve seen you in one other city cuz just so you know I I go around the UK just filming different cities Oh can I just to see what’s different right that’s Plymouth Against Retail Crime We assist with the businesses for antisocial behavior low level stuff in the city center Okay Um what’s the threshold would you say for that before the police get involved so obviously we’re we’re radioed up Uh that gets us into the the city CCTV network Oh cool And they have police comms from there So it’s it’s a triage thing If the shops are having problems or something they radio us in If we can deal with it we will Right And then if we can we’ll escalate that Okay So are you kind of like street security then are you SIA or are you some sort of PCSO or So we’re So you come from from SI stock So we’ve all worked in security beforehand but we’re SEASS accredited So that means we go through a vetting process with the police some additional training It gives us limited police powers Oh like what like uh requiring name and address for a relative for a relevant offense like that It’s very very simple low-end stuff Yeah By just you know in good areas of further offense if they don’t provide their name the details relate to like a theft or something like that and that just makes a little bit of a offense tag on them Okay So is that similar to PCSO type powers then um they’re different Yeah I mean sort of similar obviously we’re not PCSOs We we are security for the sex So you are civilians with a bit more a little bit more power So it depends on what section as well that they might abuse that you can Oh okay But but basically we we run around and we try to keep a peace with everybody Try and make sure everybody has a pleasant shopping experience and businesses can trade with as little disruption as possible It’s big city so you know stuff happens But it is Yeah It’s my first time here So where would you recommend going that’s really good to see and also where you probably have the most issues Cuz both are good for the views Yeah Obviously this is the city center Yeah that’s where you’re going to you find most of our most of our griiness Um obviously the nicest bits of the sea are all the the seafront and the barb And how far is that to walk so if you go up to the the sundial the kind of water feature up there Turn right and go straight up That’ll take you up to Switzer tower the lighthouse Kind of like that’s one of our kind of like landmarks Yeah Left along the seafront down goes into the barbin That’s all our historic cobbled area with the with all of the kind of like uh old town sort of feel steps where the boats left for America and that sort of stuff Oh yeah of course There’s that history there Amazing Okay Well thank you so much your time I do appreciate it Thank you Yeah You too Hope nothing bad happens There you go I got an interesting conversation with um the city rangers I’ve not managed to have a conversation with the ones in Bournemouth before Uh so it was good that they stopped and explained the situation amazed that they have a bit more powers than say PCSOs and they can actually get details from people which is interesting But we’ve got looking like we got a bit of a flla here Well not fella It’s 110 which is quite interesting We do have a shop over there outside Poundland Uh I might have found the interesting part of Plymouth City Center here Someone living here does someone live in here just a random tent Oh got friends They’re tame Oh they’re very cuddly You want to join oh wow Hello Would you like me or you going to pet me they do like friendly text me Yeah Here I go Oh hello You’re going to land on me Look at that The one that lets me kiss him Oh wow Close Do you come here often then like every day yeah Wow Every day I’m not working anyway Yeah So you made friends yeah I feel I just like looking out for them you know cuz a lot of people don’t Yeah Yeah Yeah they get bad repat pigeons They call rat flying rats you know But like they’re beautiful colors Look at them Yeah I wish people knew the history You know they helped recover like 200 people of the Lost Battalion during the World War II Really yeah The pigeon that was delivering the message He got his foot shut down his eye shut down and he still delivered the message and helped recover 200 lost battalion people I mean it’s incredible Wow But then you know communications improved We had different forms of communication and just pigeons weren’t useful anymore And it’s a shame It’s kind of like with horses isn’t it since the cars and vehicles were you still get that kind of love because of the you know the nature of it Yeah And the uh the attractiveness of owning horses Exactly Yeah You can’t really stick a saddle on a pigeon can you yeah Absolutely Although I’ve I’ve found out that the pigeon racing is huge mostly up north I think Okay Um but yeah I found that quite interesting the pigeon racing Yeah that is What what got you into pigeon zone and the history of it i think there’s just something about being having the affection and attention of something that you’re not close to technically There’s this kind of Yeah I find it therapeutic Just kind of sit there with them and just let them crawl on top of me and do whatever they want It’s just nice you know nice distraction from everything else Fair enough That’s probably why I like Tim Burton because he finds a beauty in what’s normally considered ugly Yeah Yeah you know pretty much Yeah just exactly like that Different perspectives right oh sorry Like I’m working toward a key and up there I see the crows as well Okay Oh they remember you Oh yeah They remember like very food and I’m walking towards them They just cry It’s her again She’s here Well thank you for your time I appreciate it And thanks for looking after them Really yeah Take care Oh sorry Oh dear Dear Oh there you go guys Wow had some really interesting conversations now with park rangers and uh and pigeon lady and I think we found Plymouth’s cracky population So ambulance is driving through I’m going to uh take a video of the area and I got to be discreet here but you probably would have seen them uh just here like Okay Barrier Plymouth Interesting Everywhere has a cracky gardens right okay guys So the deeper we go yeah more we meet interesting characters I don’t know what this guy is doing in silver Very interesting Again we’ll see if we can make it look like we’re filming the pigeons but they are very interesting There’s also a strong smell of Amsterdam but they seem harmless for now I don’t know what she’s doing there Interesting I’ll leave them be Seem relatively harmless if entertaining Considering the rest of uh Plymouth doesn’t seem very high-end it’s a shock to see a store like Plan here which is all about wasting your money to make you feel like you have some I don’t know social credit Whatever that monstrosity is or was has seen much better days Look at the state of that Oh I hope that wasn’t residential No city center is complete without a main hoe How fitting Next to the giant statue next to the theater royal in Plymouth and the dramatic political LGTV 4K We have something that’s even more dramatic guys Even here Free it from Hamas guys Free it from Hamas If you’re white and British and you’re being assaulted who you going to call not the police because they won’t do [ __ ] I actually have no idea what that is but uh it’s a large purple warrior Purpleheaded warrior Oh Oh Oh Get out of the way It’s a shot Can you see it can you see it looks like it’s got a hell of a nose on it You don’t want that around at the parties Take it all up Ah it’s ruining in my shot Come on Hey there you go There you go Oh it’s it’s becoming more common guys Private private shop Private property Oh adult Oh but still private It’s illegal guys I don’t know what any of this is But I just saw a load of crazy art I saw some spiraling stairs and I thought do you know what let’s go explore in this random place and see where we end up because this is where that ugly building is So wonder if there’s anything interesting up here I can see Look at this It’s not allowed Can’t really see what’s going on in there Nothing to show you that’s any that’s in of interest Oh this looks like a Plymouth City Council building Different committees and stuff audit and governance taxi licensing scrutiny [Music] management Poor Bill trying to kill Bill There you go Council House [Music] Don’t know guys but I’m not interested enough to ask Oh there you go Crown and County Court Every turn I take I’ll find something interesting Here we go guys We do have some more street drinkers who seem like they’re enjoying themselves middle of the day Oh he’s double parked So this is interesting See what they’re like in person But uh a lot of these buildings tend to follow a similar sort of yellowish stone and uh it’s not always the most attractive I can’t hear the but they seem interesting So let’s follow them British Red Cross here in Plymouth Another interesting charity which my whistleblower said that was involved in the people smuggling helped them get from Africa to Europe I’ve not seen any evidence of that but uh if anyone does have any let me know I’d love to do a further video on that Now I know you come here mainly for the drama on this channel but we do love a bit of history and educational content So here you go If you do come to Plymouth do the Mayflower Trail This is Pristen House and uh you can pause it and read here but it is the oldest surviving merchant house in Plymouth having stood since 14 98 I was going to say early TUDA but you may have a better scale on the phone So if you can’t see it there here you go And the giveaway for the early TUDA for me was the softening of the stone here You see it on a few other similar era buildings That’s right next to Magistrate’s door Interesting So next to the not allowed I did just say in the previous scene we’ve got the magistrate’s court But you know if you had a bit of Dutch courage or in this case Irish courage before you come in for your trial hearing there’s the Irish bar Perfectly placed And next to the 15th century building we just saw and the not allowed ticket or the illegal ticket we have uh an exemplary example of how society has fallen that we cannot trust the dregs in society anymore not to smash history to pieces So they’ve had to install this meshing Yay Royal Britannia and all that We do have our first police car guys at Plymouth It’s not in action but there you go You’ve seen a bit of police And we’re back at the beginning everyone of our journey We’ve met some interesting people here in Plymouth seen some interesting buildings and uh confirmed that Plymouth like many other cities in the UK has a new template Turkish barbers fake stores American candy stores urban concrete jungle maybe a couple of trees thrown up here and there crackheads homeless and also some sort of strange variation of PCSO and copper the rangers which again kind of glorified security with a little bit of extra power But they were sound enough so won’t be mean to them There you go There’s Plymouth If you are local let me know what you thought of my little tour No doubt you’re going to hate me I always get it But if you did like the video as usual do leave a like subscribe to the channel and we’ll see you on the next one Bye for now

  1. You're lucky to have a Barclays. Our Barclays closed last year, it's a nightmare for banking where I live. We do have vape shops, barbers and massage parlours however 😢😢😢 x

  2. ''i dnt think there are any hotels in plymouth, the nearest ones Exeter'' – while looking at the other side of the bloody premier inn building block
    forget the barbican, and all the hotels + b&b's lol

  3. so you didnt count the 7 barbers from the building that says" toot for fe'et " (meaning speed I guess,) from there to the the eagle pub and inclusive of Frankfurtgate ?? mmmmm. so if you didn't see them, then we can't then ,lol. Thanks for trying but you avoided the real scenes of cultural embrace plymouth is now experiencing with all it's enrichment . lol. you should of watched dje media plymouth riots , I bet you would of spotted the rioting businessman in his day time job lmao. that lil pasty eating red vested kid is always to late to attend anything, I see him stuffing his chops more than doing his job

  4. When i was young mutley plain had 3 friut and veg shops , 2 butchers , book shops and other small indipendant businesses, now its turkish barbers and takeaways , looks a right state now,

    Thank you tesco , sainsburys, morrisons and a shite government who love turkish money 😢😢

    The barbers are empty yet more open up , how blatant,

  5. 1st time I seen a tent in the City Centre…maybe that's the way to go…we usually get em around the Hoe…the tent was next to the Bird Lady. Almost every miner kept pigeons which they raced regularly…my grandad's overlooked the late Cortonwood pit where he worked as a Ripper on the face. My father would sometimes take him in his motorbike and sidecar…so he could give them a training run from 10 miles away, or so. He had one very fast pigeon…that would return early in the race, and would have won…but it stopped off on a nearby pylon to admire the view…from where it could see his home…my grandad's allotment. He'd sit there for ages as all the other pigeons came home. Needless to say…my gran was not happy, not one bit.

  6. What the PCC has done to the city centre is a travesty. Millions spent, well over budget, on a grey concrete block. Thank god I left and moved into the rurals.

  7. As a native born Englishman of 78 years standing I'm left with the unfortunate conclusion that the average Brit' is apathetic, indolent and stupid and it's no wonder our once proud nation is collapsing round our ears. Maybe Reform UK can stop the rot? I sincerely hope so.

  8. I'm born and bred Plymothian and haven't been into the city centre for 18 months. It's depressing. It was a beautiful green thriving city and the urban planners have ripped out the heart of the city and replaced with a concrete nightmare. No character, no identity and no class! I shop out of town now at Derriford, Transit Way or Saltash. It's very sad.

  9. That monstrosity used to be the civic centre where plymouth city council was based. they got rid of it cos of concrete cancer, yet they sold it to urban splash for £1, and it is destined to be apartments!

  10. Pigeons can carry a variety of diseases that can be transmitted to humans, including respiratory infections like psittacosis and histoplasmosis, as well as bacterial infections like salmonellosis and E. coli.

    Probably not a good idea to kiss them. 🤢

  11. Plymouth used to be and still could be a wonderful waterside city. Something has gone drastically wrong. Unfortunately PCC on both sides of the political divide are utterly useless. For starters they are hell bent on concreting over land for housing coupled with ill thought out infrastructure projects and zero thought for future infrastructure and local people in the respective wards. They dont even have the money to repair potholes, clear pavements of weeds or collect the bins weekly. And now they want to launch a land and power grab in the South Hams. Never. That will end badly. The solution is simple. Restore the Parish wards within the local communities, dispersing the power of the council. This will give a strong voice to local communities thus stopping the council implementing agendas and decisions against their will.

  12. She was mistaken. It was ww1 where the pigeon saved a batallion and was shot down in the process. It survived and was given a medal. The high rise was a council building

  13. Thanks for coming to Plymouth. It's a great city to visit, it used to have some great buildings before Jerry destroyed it in WW2. Some great history and buildings are still around. The demographics have changed drastically unfortunately due to open borders. As you'll see most cycle around delivering food, and ride like lunatics. I bet none of them have a CPT certificate! If you came on a Saturday you would have seen the death cult supporters in the town, opposite the American sweet shop. Waving their death cult flags along with alphabet flags, and promoting their socialist dribble, because socialism and the rest of the liberal twaddle go hand in hand with death cults. Unfortunately Plymouth is another Bristol with its far left woke garbage.
    I hope you got to see some of the good parts of Plymouth, like the Barbican with some of the very old buildings. One which was built in 1601. Incidentally did you take a look at some videos on YouTube of Plymouth before the war and its rebuild. I don't want to be completely negative about Plymouth as there are some positives about it….

  14. It's not hard to make a city of this size look shoddy when you leave out all the good parts. Plymouth was named best city to live in work in UK in 2023/2024

  15. The existing trees were perfectly fine, but P.C.C allowed them to be cut down because they didn't fit in with more ridiculous plans they call development for the City. Looked perfectly fine years ago. Open areas, like this construction, are only really created for BIG BROTHER and the excessive cameras which are now installed to keep an eye on criminal activity and anti-social behaviour. Sign of the times people.

  16. Some of the narrative this guy spouts is incorrect and a lot of the comments way over the top and laughable. If you don't like Plymouth maybe move to a different city which you will like ? 🤔
