In the second episode of four in this series, we are at Joanne’s house, where we see her doing her best to look out for the kids on her estate, but even she’s struggling to keep them out of trouble.

We meet Jack, who spent his youth in and out of prison, but thinks he's found a way out. And it’s Derby Day in Manchester, when fans of United and City clash and the police try to maintain order

  • Just a reminder that that guy is out on Derby Day looking for a fight, its also his daughters birthday. Just a taster of his priorities. But blame immigrants for everything.

    I grew up in a council house when I arrived in this country at the age of 14. Couldn’t even speak English. Ended up becoming an accountant. Now I am 32. I thank my parents for caring and for putting effort into all of us. Yes we lived in council house but none of us got involved in trouble. We respect our parents and knew the sacrifices they made. Don’t blame others for your lack of discipline and parenting
  • ‘Too much for the NHS’ proceeds to go and start a fight....helpful then 😂

    ‘They get given a house’ as he stands in the house given to him

    Fully grown men runnin round with street signs fighting over who supports a gayer football team, wow
  • Love how he says it's a "rough and horrible" place when he's a 30 year old guy beating people up. Congratulations you played yourself.
  • @JohnTubeChannel
    The football thing is mad. Imagine wanting to hurt someone because they support a different team to you 😂
  • I grew up on a council estate. My parents taught me wrong from right, respect etc. No cash is no excuse.
  • That little kid going to nick sparklers looks like something out of Chernobyl
  • @BarriosGroupie
    7:25 😂 hilarious with him complaining about lazy immigrants claiming the same benefits he's on
  • Wait... did man complain about his house being too small, then drive off in a ST? Please....
  • People are coming over here without speaking the language , a place to stay or knowing anyone and they're still able to make it. It is called hard work.

    I lived in Manchester for the first 42 years of my life and it’s full of vile people. I assumed everyone was the same until I moved out and found good people in good communities.

    The first 10 seconds is all you need to watch.

    This is so depressing. Manchester 2018. I left the country and Manchester for good in 2008 and never looked back. In the 70s and early 80s. there was still a lot of dignity to be found among the working classes but this generation, tells you a lot about the dire future of the country and its underclass.
