UK: Benefits Streets: The neighbourhoods where majority of adults are on welfare
The Telegraph ^ | 11th October 2026 | Charles Hymas

Posted on 10/11/2026 5:18:31 AM PDT by Cronos

More than half of adults in thousands of neighbourhoods across England and Wales are on out-of-work benefits, a report has found

The common denominator in these counties is Deindustrialization, structural economic decline, and a post-pandemic surge in health and incapacity-related benefits (such as Personal Independence Payments or PIP) that keep working-age adults permanently out of work.

Thank you very much and God bless you.

there are two kinds of high benefits areas

  1. According to the Centre for Social Justice (CSJ), the areas with the highest proportions of neighborhoods where the majority are on welfare are post-industrial or seaside towns.

    These areas are among the least ethnically diverse in the country and have exceptionally low immigration rates. For instance, regions like the North East average over 90% White British. Towns like Blackpool and Hartlepool are overwhelmingly White British (ranging from 88% to 95%+ White British) with very small foreign-born populations compared to the UK average.

  2. Severe inner-city deprivation, high living and housing costs (driving up Housing Benefit bills), larger family sizes, and systemic ethnic wealth gaps. Government statistics show that Bangladeshi, Pakistani, and Black African/Caribbean households experience the highest rates of income poverty and reliance on social housing in the UK

Makes a lot of sense to idiots to bring in a lot of unskilled lazy Muslim immigrants for their welfare programs. They don’t have jobs for their own citizens so they bring in this terror.

Their leaders are intentionally destroying their nation

Sort for posting multiple times. My Internet is working a little slow this morning.

Personal Independence Payments is one of the more Orwellian government euphemisms I’ve run across lately.

Some SNAP cards have the same label on them: “Independence.”

Communities with their needs taken care of and nothing to do but build their foreign enclave, radicalize each other, and engage the host society politically and with activism and law.

The UK (UKistan) has been on the same path as the Dumacrats did under Biden: import the lazy, unskilled indigents and get 'em gorging at the public trough.

In the UK's case, it is worse, so far. They also targeted the importation of the Moslem hordes that vote as a block, even though many are not eligible, and also demand Sharia Law.

Worse still, the Koran (spit) tells them they can rape 'infidel' girls.

It’s a term Pelosi should have come up with. She, saying collecting unemployment insurance was good - and actually profitable - for the nation while allowing people enrich their lives by fulfilling their life goals.

Yes, that’s what it looks like 🙁

Wonder why the power elite there and all over Western Europe are doing it - they must all have been dropped on their heads. I have no other explanation (shaking my head).

the Moslem hordes that vote as a block

That's a bit of a myth. Although Labour historically attracted more Moslims than other parties, there was always a substantial Conservative vote, especially from socially conservative older Muslims. In recent elections, the Labour share of the Muslim vote has steadily been falling, down to 60% in 2024. The 23 Muslim Members of Parliament represent all 3 main parties.

Forced to pay for their own destruction. In a just world the leaders responsible for this would be hanged.
