I have hesitated posting a comment because I recognise I am from a different generation. I was brought up living on a council estate in Manchester in the 60’s. My parents worked for little money. My school was in Moss side. We were always with family sisters, grandparents, cousins not really mixing outside of this strong family. All my cousins and myself managed to pass the 11 plus. I wasn’t aware of drugs at that time. The council houses were an enormous help for poor families who had rented rooms in larger houses previously mainly owned by the Salford Jewish community who owned a lot of property. It breaks my heart to see what has happened in Manchester and Liverpool where there seems to have been a breakdown of families/extended families. Yes the youth of today may have nothing but they have so much more than the youth of the post war era. There was no benefits to talk of the either. So very sad.

Thank you to teachers then and now who go the extra mile to help those with no help at home.

Thanks again for another great video Billy. I grew up on The Ford Estate in the 70s & 80s as the youngest of 8 children ( 10 of us in a 4 bedroom house but we though it was posh cos we had a downstairs toilet 😂) We lived in 48 Fairleaf Way opposite the one oclock gun pub where we had a birds eye view of the fights every Saturday night from our mum & dads bedroom window. The place was a real community back then & families really looked out for each other ( and each others kids ) I think the decline began when the heroin flooded onto the estate. People who we went to school with, who came from great familes got lured in by it all. There was not much to do around that time & you saw people you grew up with withering away through drugs. It was tragic to see the sporty lads from school who were brilliant footballers & always winning trophies turn into zombies before your eyes. The pretty girls who got sucked in soon lost their looks, dignity & in some cases their lives. The place was awash with addicts & it was indiscriminate, regardless of background. Some great families lost great kids to it & if I were to look back at an old school photo I’m pretty sure there’d be quite a lot of people from those times who are sadly no longer with us. We were fortunate as a family that we never got involved in any of it & I believe that this was a combination of having very strict Irish parents ( our dad would have killed us! ) & mates who lived in other places. There but for the grace of god go any of us though, it so easily could have been us too! I have some great memories of the place but some sad ones also. They did an article in the 80s about it called chasing the dragon ( If my memory serves me ) theres a picture of a load of teenage lads sitting on the grass right in front of our house. I knew them all but I reckon half of them are gone now 😢

It's way past the blaming phase, this is down to a deeper generational problem, the way these kids act today, is just part of who they are, they don't know any better. And it's sad, that the government or the adults don't seem to put any stock into the kid's welfare, the government only decides to step in when things go wrong, reactive policing through a reactive policy. Kids should never be excluded and left to their own devices, and this has been happening in cities for at least two generations.

From the age of 12-18. 1978-1984 I used to box, first at the Birkenhead A.B.C. Then the West Wirral A.B.C. The reason I mention this is, due to an absolute diamond of a fella who went by the name of Herbie Harrison who was from the Ford Estate. But back in the day Herbie ran the Venture A.B.C. down Brassey Street down the North End. Tony, his son was a helluva boxer before he got badly injured, in a really horrible way. Me and Tony both boxed in a club behind the sacred bull pub in fazakerley on a Long Lane. A.B.C. show. Tony had a barnstormer of a fight with Tony Brown from Litherland A.B.C. who later fought Rocky Kelly in a British title eliminator at welterweight. Herbie Harrison. What a lovely man. He was a beacon of light. The Ford Estate should be proud of one of their own.🙏🥊❤️

Something to think about is that mist areas do have stuff for kids to do in the community centres and kids clubs an that but mostly the kids that go to them are decent law abiding kids, but having worked with kids who are involved in drug and alcohol misuse and sales of them and involved in all sorts of other criminality. It is hard to get these kids to spend the evening in youth projects cus they want to smoke weed an have a bevvy which obvs is not allowed in the projects. Were i worked became successful in engaging with these kids on the streets due to possibly the staff all had difficult childhoods themselves so nearly knew how to engage with the kids and get them involved in positive activities. The mad thing is, is the project i worked for could have possibly stopped the girl being shot dead and the lads by her about 3 or 4 of them also being injured by also getting shot. Anyway tge reason we might have made a difference in that situation is that the lad Connor Chapman who shot the girl dead an injured the other's. I cant remember us engaging with him when he was about 12 but i di remember his name and it was on are database list of the local kids that wanted to engage with our project and go fishing and camping and the rest if what we offered. So there is a small possibility that we might have been able to improve his life at an early age and possibly could have played an important part of his life for him not to have made them mad choices which has banged him up for 40 odd years and destroyed a few other families as well as his own. Or he might have bin destined to be a mad baddy an we made no impact with him. The project which i would say was very successful with engaging the kids on the edge and kids involved in criminality. A few high ranked Tories like dogface McVeigh and slap head Duncan Smith came to the area and are project looking to try and gather voters. They promised us and the kids that the project would stay open and receive funding but it was lies and the project had to close due to lack of funding and some other issues. There was around 400 kids who was engaged or was to young trying to engage and the government let it close and there was around 100 or more of these kids we engaged with who needed important help or was receiving help from us but they closed it down and left the kids with not much or not any help and support which was criminal in my opinion.

Alright, Billy, I used to live on the Ford Estate, from 1973 - 1990, at my mum and dad's (the family house.) However, mum and dad lived there till 2015. Dad was the last one standing 🙏 By the way, it's now called The Beechwood, has been since the 90s. I was brought up on the old Ford Estate which was known in 80s as smack City. I don't think i need to tell you why. Now, it just seems to be full of crime and the infamous Hoodies on bikes. Mad place, only one way in, one way off the place. Anyway, i hope you had a good day 😂

In the late 70s early 80s The Ford Estate was known as the Giro, everyone was on the dole. If was rife with crime, high rise flats, a no go area. The council changed the name some years ago to The Beachwood but nothing has changed, only the name. Birkenhead North was even worse back in the day, even the pub there was called The Blood tub.
