Watch the moment Patrick Christys was left “disgusted” after a Durham pensioner revealed she was being forcefully moved out of her home – after living in the area for more than two decades.
The 80-year-old retired nurse told GB News her town “had always been a problem area”, describing the area as a “bit of a dumping ground”.
She fumed: “I wasn’t on social housing or anything like that. You know, I had a career in nursing. So why should I live like this?”
Telling Patrick she felt let down by Britain, she added: “Well, it’s a north-south divide, isn’t it?”
She went on to open up to Patrick, telling him how she has to move after her house was compulsorily purchased.
“I’m waiting for them to find me somewhere. So far, it hasn’t been forthcoming. They’ve offered me a couple of places, but I’ve turned them down because to me, they weren’t suitable,” she explained.
“I think that’s disgusting,” Patrick responded, absolutely aghast by the revelation.
She continued: “They don’t care. The council don’t care. They don’t care. They haven’t got the money to do any repairs or make the place look nice.
“But they’ve got money to buy a private box at Sunderland football ground.”
