History should b a compulsory subject. Thankfully, Victoria's husband Albert was far sighted n did a lot to help ease the populace's hardship.

And as in France, the Autocratic families had no idea of the poor. Famous "let them eat cake" was because Marie Antoinette wld not have any idea of what it meant to not have any food. Misinterpreted these days as to what she meant

i have never heard that saying but boy does it ring true

Our town still has a mission with a very cold and punitive attitude towards its clients. The food is actually rotten. People throw it back up regularly. Zero compassion. People have to line up 30 minutes before the meal and maintain silence the entire time. Men and women are separated, and not allowed to speak to each other. Men are the food servers, so during the women's dinner, women are not allowed to speak up and say ,'No thanks" to the blue edged bread, soupy mashed potatoes or the horrid glop they throw on top of it all. The potatoes are also gritty. The 'soup' is just dishwater. You used to have to sit in silence listening to a preacher yell about fire and brimstone , shaming poverty and any fornication or bad habits or for not having a job that supports you. It didn't matter how elderly, mentally ill or disabled you were. All this for an hour 2x a day, for some rotten food.

@@mossycryptid Which part in particular?

@@belltowersubductions5104 The part where British are blamed for a natural disaster. The part where so many Irish move to the UK that 20% of our population is Irish. The part where Irish say Brits out while demanding all the perks of being in the Union. The part where you realise that most the infrastructure of Ireland and the agricultural landscape is a result of being apart of the Union. The part where you realise that Irish kids born today are a minority in Ireland and their birthright is given away to neo planters from the third world who do not bring technological advancements. But instead bring a all consuming hate for white people. That will be used while raping killing and bleeding Ireland dry. Genetically and culturally Ireland will lose more in the next 100 years than it ever did under British Rule.

@@paleface4404 Where to even start... I'll try to explain the bullet point version. If you find it interesting, feel free to look up more online or in a history book. The Irish potato famine was more than just a natural disaster. It was mainly a result of social problems. Under British rule, Irish Catholics weren't allowed to enter many professions and weren't allowed to buy their own land. Most people were forced to rent tiny plots of land from British Protestant landlords that weren't even present in Ireland. A farmer could grow triple the amount of potatoes as grain on the same plot of land. Because of this, Irish peasants relied on potatoes just to feed themselves and their family for a year. The famine might not have been so bad if relief efforts by the British Government had been serious. As it was, things only worsened the nightmare. What did England do to help? Nothing at first. England believed that the free market would end the famine. Wanna know why the free market failed to end the crisis? It's because the Irish had no money to purchase foreign grain! Why did they have no money? It's because the British made it impossible for them to work for money or own their own land! Any money they had went to paying rent. So... Why are you so angry at the Irish again? Do you have no compassion or understanding? I feel sorry for you. You must really want to have someone on whom you can take out your pent up anger.

It was disgusting what the English did to the Irish people. So they had no choice but to rebel.

in the USA, they live in tents in homeless encampments and are still treated like criminals.

My grandparents were a mile from the railroad and were flagged as a house they could be fed. Grandma always made them fried eggs, fried potatoes and fresh milk being farmers. My mom and aunt were afraid of them so they would hide until they left. My grandfather kept a diary about each one. Their stories were heart breaking sometimes.

@@karensiegel6669 My mother and aunts were reminded not to walk through the woods. Yet times were generally pretty safe. My mother would get a nickel and take the inter urban for a tour of Pittsburgh. The black conductor never took her nickel because she always gave him a big smile. My aunts always wondered how their little sister always had something tucked away. Then they caught her plunking a button down in the collection plate. She was in trouble because the button had cost her mother 7¢ not 5¢.

It felt to me like he was angry at her, almost like he felt she was responsible merely by association of her job. I did feel for her & I felt that it should have been edited. He also took the information as a personal attack on himself & was projecting onto her. Brian Cox has some serious baggage that he needs to sort out as his reaction was either over dramatic, or misplaced.

@@JoannaLamont333 Personally, I read it more as him being angry that she wasn't as upset as he was about how these people were treated. She seems like a nervous laugher, and he seemed to find that quite unsettling. I certainly find it interesting how personally he took it, especially compared to Barbara who almost seemed not to want to have anything to do with the workhouse museum, and it was her mother. We also don't see them before or after, or how much knowledge about this beforehand he had, and how that might have affected his reaction. It's interesting that you bring up editing, because it certainly could have been edited to be more dramatic.

@@bethanymcmullen7429 I also found Bab’s reaction interesting too. I also thought that both Brian & Babs only wanted to be associated with wealth & were really upset that they were from poor stock. 🤣

@@JoannaLamont333 Speaking as a Canadian whose family only in the last generation moved out of solid blue collar work, I don't know if I can speak as much on the perception of class in Britain. For me, Barbara seemed much more upset to have come, so closely, from poor people, compared to the righteous fury that Brian seemed to have. But this is the first I've seen of either of them and could also be cultural differences. Fern, on the other hand, seemed utterly enthused to learn anything and everything about her past, even when it was sad.

@@bethanymcmullen7429 I thought Fern was genuinely interested & wanted to learn as much as she could & seemed to really empathise with what her ancestors had endured & others. But I do agree that Babs didn’t seem in the least bit interested that her mum was actually in that exact place. I think if it were me, I’d want to feel that I was in the same place as my mother once was & walking on the same ground. Nevertheless, I found it really informative & interesting. I’ve researched my family tree & I don’t have any ancestors who were in the workhouse as I thoroughly checked, but I did have several who were in Asylums. I wonder if it runs in the family? 🤣

So much easier to lay blame on the poor, that way they can look at themselves in the mirror and in public and not have to bear the burden of blame where it belongs. So they can be seen as the benevolent benefactors when they need a tax deduction or a PR boost because that truly is the only reason many of the rich or elite will go slumming themselves among the poor.

@Max Powers What a load of Bollocks! "Wealthy pay taxes that support "all" government programs that feed the poor?" Where are you getting this information from? The poor pay taxes too and that makes them even worse off. Wealthy should be paying higher taxes. I don't see any rich wealthy people putting their hand in their pockets to help build more homeless centers or help with food kitchens and food banks. They would rather walk on the other side of the road than on the same side as someone sleeping in the street. They cuss at the homeless cause they smell. They have no time of day for the homeless. We the "poor" and "working class" are contributing far more than anyone else. We do help each other where and when we can. I work 24/7, but still find time to help out at a homeless food kitchen or food bank. I give each and every homeless person I serve food to a hug before I serve them. Would never see any of the wealthy do that.

rs

@Max Powers you mean like how the wealthy classes of the victorian age created jobs for the poor? The fact that you can talk like that with zero sense of irony in those words is shocking

I know more hard working poor people who work 50 hours a week that still cannot afford food. I use to have that mindset that one was lazy but then I went into the world and I can say my views change quickly. I have never looked down on anyone who asks for help because it should be shameful for any developed country to have people homeless and starving. I have been there working 60 even up to 80 hours a week to just be broke. I am ashamed that where I live thinks making sure children having food is a shameful thing or stable housing. I even asked someone "so because you think the parents are lazy you feel it's okay to punish children because being poor and having a baby is criminal to you?" He simply stated the kid will see this a a chance to grow and be stronger in the end because it will drive him to do better. The ignorance of people is heartbreaking.

Shame is a powerful motivator for the choices people make. You can't escape psychological anguish like that, and to say something so judgemental comes from a position of privilege. My mum felt deep shame whenever we had to use anything 2nd hand because of how she grew up. She always wanted to be seen as no lesser than anyone else around her, was so fearful of people seeing her children as "less than". She only allowed 2nd hand if there was literally no other choice. She often went without herself to make sure we had what we needed. It's not a simple matter of logic.

@@ScarlettKitsune Loving your children enough to set aside your own damn pride to always do what is best for them has nothing to do with privilege.

@@winterinbloom I didn't say it was logical, I said it comes from a place of deep psychological trauma.

@@ScarlettKitsune I didn't say it had anything to do with logic. I just said it didn't have anything to do with privilege, because it doesn't. And claiming privilege in this case to pretend mistakes weren't made by a parent who refused to do the right thing by their child is shitty. While I may not personally have experience with this issue from the point of view of a parent, I have experience from the point of view of a child with a mother with deep psychological issues who had to deal with a judging community. My mother did not let her issues get in the way of doing what was best for me. If she had to overcome a mountain of fear in order to choke down huge, steaming piles of shame and judgment to make sure I was properly taken care of, she did it because that is what good mothers do. On the other hand, if my mother's fear of shame and judgment only affected herself, she would use her pride as a shield and avoid judgment and shame at all costs. Even if she suffered ten times worse as a result.

For some reason, I highly doubt it...

Yes now people are just thrown in the street to fend for themselves.

...Well poverty is still bad today. But at least there IS help in both the USA and the UK. You can get the dole, free healthcare (in the UK), there is the Salvation Army and other charities handing out food, lodgings, emotional support. You cannot compare the poverty of today against the poverty of this video

The titles of the series are in the video titles after the clickbait part. This is "Secrets From the Workhouse" from 2013. This channel releases episodes about 1 week apart as if they were on television, but they do have several series going on at a time. This series only has 2 episodes so I expect the next one to be out next Wednesday.

Very well said! As someone who has had everything stolen (repeatedly) and therefore ended up in poverty - barely a day goes by where I don't suffer abuse from people who treat me with contempt and total lack of respect, think nothing of abusing me, and accuse me of being too stupid and too lazy to make something of my life! I used to constantly explain my story to show that I am neither from a rundown background nor suffer from stupidity or laziness, but I never got believed. Now I feel compelled to pretend to indeed be stupid, lazy and dirty - to keep people happy and to prevent stupid questions and accusations. I cannot put in words how painful a way of life this is - constantly getting treated as if I were retarded and having to pretend to be just that because the truth wouldn't get believed anyway. With this, every day my identity gets stolen and I am forced to live a lie! And this is 21st century Britain!

If you don't want to give your money to a rich person then don't - don't buy what they sell. They're not holding a gun to your head and making you give them their money. And who made you the arbiter of how to spend other people's money anyway? Poverty may not always be a choice, but often it is. When poor people smoke, drink, and watch TV, that's a choice they're making: they value those things more than being slightly less poor.

@@bpj1805 you think poverty is a choice? You try to walk in a poor person’s shoes before judging them. When born into a family that lives at or below the poverty level, they are fighting from day one in their life. And the older they get, the rules of state/government keeps them locked in poverty. If they try to rise out of poverty, they’re beaten down by the same help sought. As for them getting a job, well only menial jobs offered are fast food, janitorial, not much skill or pay. And today the pandemic has hit so many people, even those who thought they were far above the poverty line. So think about it, being poor isn’t a choice. I know it, for I was born into a poor family forced to accept help a long time ago. Ever since then, poverty has been a constant fear.

@@bpj1805 For the majority of people it isn't a choice! When companies continue not paying a living wage to many of their workers, how are they to step out of that poverty? Higher education is but a dream with mostly the elite able to continue on to the higher educations needed to secure a job or career that pay more than the absolute minimum allowed or they can get away with. Yes, you do have some that do game the system or don't care that they are on the dole and prefer it that way. But there are a great many more that want to work, and work for more than poverty wages!

U need to go to russia with your propaganda

It's the difference between someone who fears they might fall down compared to someone who believes they never will. The former sees the need for protections for those at the bottom while the latter wants to kill off all those they view as leeches.

The welfare system and the lack of education because our schools have allowed the federal governor to infiltrate every aspect of our lives. While parents are absent in the homes trying to make ends meet they indoctrinated the last 2 generations

The US has welfare, free housing, disability payments, medical, food allowances, etc. To compare the US system with an actual workhouse of the 19th century diminishes the appalling conditions these people went through.

@@AC-el7lx ...I DO agree that, in comparison, it is better today. BUT...it is just soo much worse than people are aware. And no one seems to want to know. It’s not quite so much the conditions that are appalling now, but the exploitation.

@@AC-el7lx I was not, in any way, wanting to diminish what these people have been through. Just wanting to raise awareness that it's STILL VERY bad in the U.S. and most people are completely unaware of this. Your reply demonstrates my meaning. All any of us know is what we are told by our government or those that work for it and profit from these issues. Please know, i mean no offense to anyone....I just know first hand what it's like to be trapped in this system that claims to WANT to help.

It’s nothing like in those days. Not even close.

Nothing has changed!!!!! Have you visited a nursing home January 2022??? APPALLING!!!! so what is the point of reading history? We must change so history is not repeated!!! God help us

Well I’d say his outrage is justified all things considered.

@@CreatorCade Maybe so, but a little self-control would have been appropriate.

yep i was thinking the same thing she was looking scared

God can you imagine if we all allowed ourselves to behave like Brian- not very nice for those around him! Be thoughtful.

@@ldavid2528 Be "thoughtful"???? That's basically asking a person who has had a horrific truth revealed to him to "control yourself". If such outrage such as Brian's were more prevalent, perhaps the atrocities that provoke it wouldn't have as much freedom to exist in the first place. After all, such things don't happen now...sigh...

How many homeless vets do we have in the U.S. now?

Yes, quite true I can see how that made Brian so angry.

@@ImNotaRussianBot especially in Florida or California where it’s hot as hell. Or further north...where it’s cold as a witch’s tit

I agree. I have met and spoken to such forgotten poor souls in Detroit. Disgraceful lack of compassion

Child labor laws and compulsory education are actually fairly recent. Here in the Carolinas most labor and education law was not enforced until the 1970s. Many of my neighbors here were put into the textile mills at 12 or 13, married at 14 or 15.

Many nations still put their children to work at age 12 or even younger...very sad.

Dad's gf needed council housing for her disabled son. Every house had bugs and mould.. but if you complain,they just don't give you the house. Really hope it's better in other places 🙏🙏🙏

Actually the UK is totally an amazing beautiful place to live currently by far better than the US

jewel chilaka. Your opinion. How often does the sun shines there??

I thought the same, when you think of the Elite then living in luxury, ROYALTY makes me so angry they have always been paid off the backs of us taxpayers, none of them have lived through poverty, and still PEOPLE now down to them NOT ME I have no time for them.

They have the right to do so.

@@vaderladyl they may have the right....but that doesn't make it ethical.

@@monicafiore20 Well duh!

Exactly what I was thinking.... If the producers of this show wanted to tell the story of normal working class people from the past, they probably should have used normal working class people from today.... not overly dramatic rich actors

...'exact same way people nowadays do' - RUBBISH.

Which king would that be? Elvis?

It’s not any different now! I don’t see any of the Royal Family queuing at the food banks

@@JoannaLamont333 Your reply is so silly that it's difficult to know where to start with a reply.

@@resnonverba137 In what way?

@@resnonverba137 I am guessing you don’t know hardship? Arcana Octonus stated ……’While the King eats goose livers & peacocks the common folk starve’ Goose livers & peacocks were incredibly expensive & a luxury which only the Kings could afford. Our equivalent now is much the same. The Queen has luxury foods which are also expensive & …….’the common folk starve’ There’s people now who are also starving & cannot afford food, so there’s no change then is there, hence the reference to food banks! Do you understand now!
