What a fantastic advert for Burnley, violent locals that love to lie and police that have little clue of the law. Hope you take civil action against them.

Pig: "You're not famous mate" Several random members of the public: "Hey - you're Charlie Veitch - you're famous!"

Charles - I'm reminded of the words of your fellow Salfordian (John Cooper Clark): "I don't ever want to go to Burnley. What they do there does not concern me ....". I left Burnley in 1965. Probably one of the more sensible decisions I've taken in my life.

I had the same thing happen with Lancashire police. A driver used his car as a weapon and repeatedly, knowingly and willfully rammed me off my bike. I was nearly crushed underneath by the 3rd or 4th time. He got out and punched me round the head so many times he smashed my bike helmet to pieces. He then dragged me up a side street by my hair in front of many witnesses. He used the remains of my helmet and the straps, twisting to garrotte me and tried to end my life. As I marked his face when struggling to free myself and get air, Lancashire police logged it as a "fight" and bullied me by stating that if I pressed charges, that they would press charges against me also.

As a Burnley resident I am ashamed to say Im a resident , Burnley town centre is becoming more and a no go area everyday but the police here have a lot to learn both in tolerance and in dealing with the general public and victims of crime , please escalate this incident to the chief inspector of Burnley :- Insp 2500 Marie Jackson and let us know the outcome

Can I just say.... an assault is in no way, shape, nor form " a bit of a fight".And the cops by-way-of their sheer egos continued their ' detaining you ' nonsense long after several people had pointed-out to them that you were attacked. For this they should be highly embarrassed. The pricks!

Those police should be arrested for impersonating thugs. Hope theres an update on the legal outcomes and hopefully lawsuit

"Where are you going?" "To your mother's house"😂😂 absolute classic

Such a shame you visited Burnley on the very day they were hosting the regional finals of 'Crackhead Of The Year'

Absolutely disgusting behavior from Burnley police

I'm a famous UKpostsr and friendly with the police, too often sailing too close to the wind, insulting the disadvantaged, sooner or later doesn't end well, karma they say

Used to live in Burnley your lucky you still have a camera 😮

How many Police does it take to arrest one man.....this is why they dont show up when your car gets nicked.

Those cops are just plain rogue and seem to know and protect the local de-gens. This is small town mentality personified... Appalling. Get the legal claim in for unlawful detainment and several breaches of PACE.

There's a mini bus driver somewhere that's waiting and wondering where his 'care in the community' passengers are !!!

One thing that I have found since 2020, is that not only have we had so many massive changes in the space of 3 years alone, in our entire world and here in the U.K. since our world has been turned upside down in so many respects, but also time seems to go by much faster, even in comparison to when I first moved to Manchester and to the U.K. 21 years ago

That ginger spice boy thought he was absolutely solid. Disgusting attitude. Earning the hate.

Based upon this interaction alone it's not surprising that folks have a genuine disregard for current police tactics. The college of policing needs to be completely reorganised as it appears to be unfit for purpose

They’ve put magistrates court and police station together! That gets my anti-corruption juices flowing…. Made me chuckle so hard lol

that copper needs shaking!! what a buffoon! keep smiling Charlie

Interesting. Policeman was impartial but "did not think. You were famous". People kept recognising you throughout but he did not think you were famous. Great investigation skills and situational awareness there on display.

It is abundantly evident that policing in the UK is about working against the victim of crime.

Somewhere I've never been and I think I'll make sure it stays that way.

"Where are you going?" "I'm going to your mother's house." I've never heard this line before. 😂

25.07. You cant detain people to determine if an offence has taken place. There is no such power. You can arrest (with reasonable suspicion of an offence AND a neccesity for the arrest) and then perhaps de-arrest at a later point, but there is no power to simply detain someone while they figure things out.

"you're not famous" Then everyone starts recognising you and asking for selfies. Nah you're not famous.🤣

Omg that’s some poor policing right there. Take them to the cleaners

Worked in Burnley at a supermarket on security for 3 years, very rough place I was attacked doing my job several times, called it a day when I was hit with a bottle stopping a smack rat stealing

I was initially enjoying the geography and history lesson about Burnley, but now I've sampled the people - never going there.

Welcome to Burnley 😄 I managed a town centre shop here for five years some time ago and watching this video brought back some bad memories. It's just not a friendly town! Many of the natives are unfriendly, rude, monosyllabic and just plain ignorant. Don't really know why this is but it definitely has that 'League of Gentlemen' vibe going on. Bloody depressing place!

Imagine walking in to Burnley town centre on a nice sunny day. Walking around filming everyone and having a laugh at people. They saved by putting in the van.

The copper saying…i don’t think your famous lol , i beg to differ 😂

Fritz is right about Lancs police, they can be terrible at their job sometimes. Both my uncles were coppers and they're saddened at the way many coppers handle themselves nowadays. I loved grumpy copper saying "I don't think you're famous, pal" then getting recognised by someone.

It's Absolutely Disgusting, The Police protect the guilty but arrest the innocent, we all stand behind you Charles Veitch

It's the drunk s and bums that bring these places down because no one wants to go shopping there

This approach by the Burnley Police is enough to put anyone off going there.

At least 5 coppers there, meanwhile in neighbouring towns the child abuse continues unchallenged, sickening. He was winding them up a bit to be fair.

Pathetic police !! Can't even work out a minor offence committed by a by stander & then blame the victim for incitement ! What a joke !! The best thing to do about Burnley is give it a wide berth ! It is not worth anything !

Who the fuck decided to tell him to go to stoops estate 🤣🤣🤣🤣like telling him yo go to Croydon in London is that 😭🤣

You had the full Burnley experience -- I see!! 😂😂.

The state of this country now, unbelievable. Crazy you had to be detained in the first place! Keep smiling Charlie!

The true side of Policing in the UK. Guilty until proven innocent!

Well I walked through Burnley for over 30 years n never had a problem. You turn up for 5 minutes and what a drama 😂

you said it Burnley is for Local people only , only they can touch the shiny things

“ I’m a famous UKpostsr “ 😂😂 cringe moment of the year !

I'm so so sorry for our coppers they are disgusting

Being detained in Burnley is the equivalent of being detained in Broadmoor.

The cream of British society.

That is shocking. They're not even trying to hide how corrupt they are. Please file a complaint!!

Detaining the victim of a crime that's nearly as bad as the guy that was arrested for hurting someone's feelings on twatter

Am I being detained ? No Am I free to go ? No Is there a crime in progress ? No Have you had 2 written complaints from members of public identifying me as a perpetrator if a crime ? No Is there a victim I can negotiate a settlement with to allow you to go about your business ? No Do you give a $h1t ? No

Ahh Charlie, your gob was always going to catch up with you 😂😂

Again, the question HAS to be asked: do the police get kick-backs from the drug dealers who supply the crack-heads?

8029 is arrogant. 4565 doesn't know how to do his job properly, doesn't know the laws, doesn't like being filmed, and doesn't like being educated.

25:25 "I don't think you're famous pal" Okay that was very unnecessary of the officer to say that..

I used to love going out getting textures for my 3d work with my fuji camera, around North West, but I noticed people's reactions ( some) were like I was walking round with a submachine gun, and I was mostly taking pics of objects, people must feel threatened by cameras it seems.

Charlie, after watching all your videos over many years now this, something needs to be done to rid our streets of these crackheads to enable the rest of us to lead our lives in peace. The scumbag who attacked you said "this is our town." Who the feck does he think he is?!?! This has boiled my blood. 🤬🤬

OMG the disrespect and distance from the police.

Deliverence in Burnley. Northern plod. Absolutely scary.

Welcome to Burnley! This town was part of an area where Juliet Bravo was filmed in the early 1980s. The shopping Centre was used for filming on one episode. The episode involved police catching shop lifters.

After all, the Programme “Shameless” was written by Paul Abbot and his experience growing up in Burnley 😂

Well that was horrible. I'm sorry this happened to you Charlie; abused by the citizens of Burnley, and then the police were just as thuggish - You're not going anywhere mate! What kind of interaction is that.

"Had my poo" 😂😂😂 TMI chuck hahahahaha great video pal

Just shows you the police in the UK are a complete waste of time and money never call the police for anything.

“I don’t think you’re famous” well officer Dufus, considering the definition of the word ‘famous’ is “known about by many people.” I think Charlie fits perfectly into that category, especially so given how many people recognised Charlie whilst he was detained. Either way, it appears you’re about to get a nice little pay out, provided you take it further, as you definitely should, that officer very clearly knew you and did everything he could to make your experience as bad as it could.

I think the point about the guy following you into M&S after the negative interaction outside should have been hammered harder

"Worst Encounter I've Ever Had" Chaz, you've clearly not met my Wife 🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭

Probably the local snitch police informer. Don't mess with the local scum or the police scum will stick up for them, "You not famous" 😁😁

Copper got his people skills from the Fred West school of charm..

"Dont think your famous pal" Wow what an attitude on that policeman.

You go winding people up and then wonder when they bite back lmao

Aye it certainly is a local town for local people. That's one of the reasons why Blackburnians call them inbreds.

Charlie is getting the fell of what coppers really are when they don't know you 😂

Charlie. I love your channel but your face at the end says it all. Venturing outside of Manchester and your usual spots, separate from the cops you know personally, has landed you in the same position as auditors all over the country as you now see the true face of the UK Police in 2022. All the best brother 🤘

Thank you for the upload! Actually an attorney is not likened to a Solicitor but to a Barrister & a Lawyer are as we have over aka Solicitors! Peace & Love!!!

40 years ago, I worked in the store where the guy was who claimed to have been hit on the head with scaffolding. It's changed quite a lot. Good times but I don't recall Burnley looking so nice. I went out at night about 20 times in Burnley. There was always somebody fighting.

They can NOT detain you . Take them to court . Get a pay out !

Quit a shocking video - one where people can watch the events unfolding and make up their own mind. Good work Charles Veitch 👍.

they thought you were an auditor thats why the pigs were so hostile towards you lol

Just subbed to you great content and footage 👍🏻

The Capability of being recognised by 255k people would correctly be defined as FAMOUS . Tall Tales Told only to him . CHARLES VEITCH Thanks for being arguably FAMOUS !

This is really bad from those police officers. That guy was clearly the aggressor from that footage with him asking where you're from, sticking his middle finger up at the camera, just clearly wanted a fight from the minute he saw you. Would definitely look at getting a solicitor to view that footage and the M & S CCTV.

Don’t see a problem here. Clearly accusations were being thrown from both sides. Police detained you both while they worked out what actually happened. That said, trouble seems to find this guy wherever he goes.

Disgusting police behaviour, they don't even know the laws they are trying to uphold.

This situation could have been easily handled with a little humour, instead you were faced with the super cop egos playing up to the ladies, absolute face palm, they wanna go all terminator smash yer brake light in for a minor disturbance, looks like "you aint welcome 'round here son, you aint famous 'round ere... right boyo!"

I visited Burnley this morning and had Breakfast with my wife at the Weatherspoons, Boot Inn. I stood at the counter and heard another customer complaining that it was taking extremely long to get served. He made his feelings known to the person who eventually served him in a constructive and polite way and this resulted in the bar tender asking him to leave. He said I’m not leaving I haven’t done anything and he walked over to a table and sat down. The bar tender, who I presume was the duty manager followed him to the table and repeated her request that he leave. Again he refused and he sat down quietly on his own without causing any disturbance to anyone else including the Weatherspoons staff. Within 10 minutes, two male Police Officers arrived and went to speak to the man. He explained that he understood they wanted him to leave but said he was going to remain seated in a peaceful manner. The two Officers then forcefully grabbed his arms, handcuffed him and put him in the back of a van. I was absolutely stunned! I went outside to explain that the gentleman had not committed any crime and it did not warrant him being handcuffed and arrested. The officer might as well as told me to f**k off. He wasn’t interested in a witness statement from me. They were clearly going to throw the book at the poor guy no matter what. Lancashire Constabulary are a disgrace.

can't blame the police because they deal with so many dickheads on a daily basis but to be honest Charlie you bring a lot of it on your self fella...

291k subscribers is famous. I’ve never heard of that cop. 👮🏻‍♂️ 💩

Hi all, 'independant witness' here. If anyone wants the truth, here it is. Prior to this event I had never heard of Charles, or ever seen the other man involved before. Despite your assumption I was telling 'porkies', I can honestly say I'm not a liar, told nothing but the truth when questioned, and I will do that here too. Let's see how long you keep this up before deleting it. I'm a photographer and was sat taking pictures of the old industrial chimneys. Unfortunately that junction has become increasingly troublesome with addicts lately. You arrived just as some argument had finished between them and two officers arrived on scene to investigate it. At this point you arrived and was getting in peoples faces with your camera seemingly wanting a reaction or attention. Most ignored you but some lads unrelated to the previous incident questioned why you was filming them. I didn't hear them because they weren't shouting, just talking. You then erupted shouting 'WELL GUESS WHAT LADS, I'M GOING TO F'IN DO IT ANYWAY'. A minute later one of the lads offered a handshake to settle the matter, and you shouted that you didn't want to shake their f'in hand. As you walked off, he asked where you was going in a way that didn't even sound aggressive, that's when you shouted you was going to his mum's house. He followed you into M&S and you was both wrapped up trying to hit each other. When the police asked me who started the fight, I told them I didn't see who struck first, the truth, and that I believed the local lad probably did after what you said to him. I believe you got a ticket anyway. I don't know how you are in other circumstances, but your whole attitude in person was one of smugness, self importance and ego that wanted an inflammatory reaction from people, and got one. Maybe it's an act and all just to create content that pays, I dunno man, I just don't see what's so hard about treating people as equals and just being nice to folk. It's extremely hypocritical for you to tell the policeman questioning you that he should be politer to you (he was polite), straight after you couldn't be polite to locals when they asked why you was filming them. You're the one in a position of power with the camera and a following, so why not take the lead of being the better person and reducing a situation instead of amplifying it? Unless of course that was your intent. In normal situations I'm happy to be a silent witness, but you tried to paint yourself a helpless victim to the police, and now your video is edited to the same effect. You may be making money from this situation you caused, but at least the local lad has kept his integrity by defending an insult to his mother. I doubt you'll ever return to Burnley, but if you do, maybe try showing some of its better qualities instead of seeking out its worst. I know this was an essay, but in the interest of fairness I had to be thorough as I don't intend to post further. Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.

"I don't think you're famous mate" well, he's going to feel a bit of a tool ain't he.

Video came to an abrupt end . Plus no footage from the other camera. All a bit suspicious

I went to Burnley Burger King, when a copper pulled in the drive thru behind me, unbeknown to me my insurance had been cancelled due to a £4 discrepancy. 8 police cars turned up for me. 8. Ultimately fruitless for them, they phoned my insurer and it was sorted immediately.

I have watched this in full. Sorry to say, but your own behaviour escalated the situation. Your comments beforehand where you were insulting them and calling them 'a dick' didn't help. Calling someone 'beardy boy with a bald head' wasn't the cleverest move and telling a bloke who was clearly angry with you that you were 'going to his mother's house' was just plain stupid. The police were reasonable and treated your fairly, despite your attempts to provoke them. Just because you are a 'famous' youtuber, does not give you the right to act in a provocative way to get click bait footage and then cry the victim when people react to it. Perhaps in future you might visit places with a few less pre-conceived ideas and treat the places and their inhabitants with a little more respect. Even before the incident that you caused, you had made numerous disparaging comments about the place, which is neither entertainment nor respectful behaviour towards the people of that town.

Well Charles I’m from Burnley have lived here since I was born, you should of listened to the lady called Shelia and walked to townley, a beautiful place and would of met some nice local hard working people, the town is a shithole,but the outskirts of Burnley is lovely, was enjoying the history lessons of Burnley to be honest 😂 please come again

Police doing what they do best,protecting criminals😡

Now yer know why our police are stupid, someone attacks you and you get arrested how backward is that !!!

Love seeing this video from you Charlie and especially your knowledge of our town and it’s history

You just had a very small taste of what Carol and me have been use to for three years arrested many many times . Wife detained and remanded in custody . Do you remember us Charlie?

This is the price Englands paid for losing all them soldiers over years of stupid wars, replacing them with the civilians from the countries they died in

The last time I went to Burnley someone had been murdered I think it was a football event but that’s the vibe of the town
