My Grandma was in the work house with her mother and father and 9 siblings. She said they were treated well! They had regular food, schooling, and clean clothing. They stay for 5 years. They hated leaving. But had to as my Great grandparents found work. So for them it was a positive experience.
she probably forgot to mention that they worked up to 16 hours a day, 6 fays a week for less than half of the unemployment benefit that people in the UK get today.
@@IvarDaigon Do you think if it was that bad she would forget to mention? Are you stupid? So we’re only allowed to believe people if it’s fits the historical narrative that is being pushed right?
This is exactly the kind of comment I’ve been looking for… because all I hear is how workhouses we’re terrible. I’m sure some were but I also am very skeptical on the portrayal of them.
In work house times girls and boys were separated and they were watched by guards. Rules: 1: if they dropped an item they would’ve been beaten up 2: if you pretend to be sick you be punished 3: if they were punished they would had to sit down next to wires and the wires would burn there legs
The problem is movies and shows romanticizes the victorian era so thats why many people would want to go back until they actually realize all the horrors of the time.
Born from these inhuman conditions, you can see how and why Joseph Engels and Karl Marx developed their (corrupt) system. Throughout the ages, humanity has always been cruel.
Well, I know they were terrible places with people dehumanized, both inmates and staff, but what struck me were how clean they were: the physical settings and the people. The floors were swept and mopped, the tables washed, the walls with fresh white wash. The religious homilies would have driven me mad, but not unexpected for the time. Using Oliver as well as at least one photo, and possibly more, more than once, was unnecessary filler. I wonder what the Oliver actor looks like today. Once Jack London, being in London, wanted to experience how the poor people fared. He dressed roughly and mingled with the unemployed for 24 hours. He had meant to spend more time, but couldn't stand it. He slept in a doss house, where one paid a pittance for a place to sleep. He was attacked by insects he had observed crawling on the walls and a rat ran over him. He describes the people on the streets. He wrote an essay called People of the Abyss that is worth reading for an articulate first hand account. One of the pictures here almost looked like a Magdalene home, except there were no nuns.
Essas fotografias antigas de crianças e mulheres trabalhando em fábricas,na verdade são uma breve explicação do porquê aconteceu a Revolução Industrial e no que acarretou às pessoas da época...pelo excesso de trabalho,mais de dezesseis horas de trabalho,precárias condições e nenhum direito trabalhista culminou na luta das pessoas por direitos e respeito ao trabalhador,e as leis que temos hoje sobre trabalho veio da luta dessas classes de trabalhadores do passado! Muito interessante,pois Joseph Merrick fez parte dos Freak Shows da época,o "homem elefante",que sofreu a vida toda com sua aparência,tendo recebido apoio de um médico Frederick Treves no final da vida. Morreu dormindo,pois por causa do peso da cabeça só dormia sentado e isso causou um deslocamento acidental do pescoço,pois não suportou o peso da cabeça durante o sono. Joseph Merrick tornou-se uma espécie de celebridade na alta sociedade vitoriana. Alexandra da Dinamarca - mais tarde Princesa de Gales por se ter casado com Alberto Eduardo, príncipe herdeiro do Reino Unido, e, por fim, rainha consorte - interessou-se por Joseph, levando outros membros da classe alta a compartilhar desse interesse. Joseph acabou por se tornar amigo da rainha Vitória. Treves,o médico que lhe ajudou, comentou, tempos depois, que Joseph, apesar de bem tratado no Hospital de Londres, sempre desejou ir para um hospital de cegos, onde poderia encontrar uma mulher a quem a sua aparência não repugnasse. Nos seus últimos anos de vida, encontrou algum conforto em escrever e visitar outras zonas do país.
Its sadder than the homeless we have today because back then people had no options. Birth control was unheard of and morally wrong. Its still morally wrong today.
You think birth control is morally wrong? Wow, you’re a bad person. Ironic, huh? You sound immoral that you would force a woman to go through painful labor and destroy her body because she doesn’t want a kid. Grow up.
So we have moved on from those terrible day's (thankfully) but 100 years plus we still have people going hungry not too the same extent nether less hung, sleeping on the streets. Every Government even in the last 50 years should hold it's head in shame. I can not change society and some times find it difficult too tell the difference between the malingers and the genuine. But lets try just try to open our eyes to others.
Good morning we are talking about a necessary institution of the time +_ 200 years and those in extreme poverty had no option. Many workhouses were paid for and supported by the Church and benifactirs ansolutely horrible places.But thankfully times have moved on some-whatThe point I was making is thatmny people around the world are still starving and live without shelter or makeshift. Fortuantly in most civilised Country's this is not the case. BUT you, me ,us could all pay give a little more ?Unfortuantly it will never go away ? Governments do not have magic wandsly people@@kibbykibby
I wish I had a pissing time machine. Was this during or before we ruled the waves taking slaves sugar cotton and gold which led to the Empire kings and lavish Queens knights Earls and peasants
What a fake! You're claiming to show historical workhouse photos from, I think you said 1870 to 1900, and then you stick in a still from a commercial motion picture of the late 20th century? Exactly why would you do that? I doubt you did much work locating and replicating from original sources anyway, so why shortcut with a demonstrably fake picture? I've seen all these pictures in other posts on UA-cam.
So humbling. Bless their souls.
Harrowing images, so many faces, so many stories unheard.

It is terible
Being alive was certainly not fun in those days!!! Who would want to live in those times?

indeed socialist communes turned out to be just as bad with masses toiling away in very basic conditions for long hours and little pay..
marx ideology is not feasible, and it is an unattainable utopia. It simply will not work.
Incredibly horrific and sad
They'd have you back there tomorrow if they thought they could get away with it.
The tory's would bring it back if they thought they could get away with it!

0:51 Literally no one:
* That one guy in the nursing home *
Nice try, who decided to put the picture of Mark Lester playing Oliver Twist in the film with the same name into the mix please?
Era segnato in basso la provenienza di quella foto
Name of song
OMG I could not stop crying
I almost cried
Music?

0:05 "British history in a workhouse was a place where poor people did not survive what could go live and work" - WHAT?!?!
I fucking lold so hard.
👍

The government opened the workhouse and you still want the government to save you?

SAD THING I HAVE EVER SEEN IN THE U.K. OR WORLD! HOW MANY PEOPLE TODAY WOULD HAVE TO LIVE IN THESE PLACES, I WONDER . BECAUSE OF POVERTY?
probably at least a million over the centuries
Muitos são descendentes dessas pessoas hoje.
may gran was there
