Alright guys I need a little bit of help please

I have recently had to strip the hallway wallpaper because it was a metallic shiny type, and no matter how many times we painted over it the pattern would still show through

So I totally stripped it. However while stripping it, some of the plaster/brickwork came away with it. So now the wall isn't smooth, it's patchy in certain place. My wife suggested to get some normal emulision white paint and that will solve the problem.

Which from the following pics you see that I have done.....

But as you can see the wall is smooth at all. You see the granny of the brickwork/plasterwork through the white paint...

I don't know what I should use to get a smooth flat surface..

i.e some sort of filler? a basecoast?? (which I have heard are rubbish)

if you want to paint over this and its a large area, you will need to get it skimmed to get the smooth finish for painting.

Alternatively you can try to get a thick lining paper and see if it hides the small bumps.
