      Unfortunately the working class is regressing into the misery of the past! The gaps between rich and poor are widening the savage capitalism system is out of control and the working class is being thrown into poverty and destitution like before. Sadly some of this is happening with the help of the same struggling poor people who believe in the lies they are told and elected these crooks who only want to full their own pockets.

      That’s what I meant! Britain controlled 25% of the world wealth, the elite lived a obscene luxury lifestyle, it’s enough watching the magnificent country houses the huge estates mostly built with money acquired throughout the empire but most of the population was living in abject poverty that’s indeed very sad, unfair and upsetting. It was so bad that after having observed the misery in which people were living in east London Karl Marx came up with the idea to write “The Capital” and the “Communist Manifesto”, something never written before! So was appalling conditions things of course have changed a bit but its still there, the elites still running the show still own most of the country like it was in feudal times only now they have to desguiasse it a bit more (not that much because some of us are aware of what they do 😉).

    The Mrs. says: Consider that a women was pregnant not to soon after the birth of her last child. Her children were a big burden for her and their was no money for anything. Notice most of those poor things were barefoot, and what about the brutal winters England.? So, most of these unwanted waifs ended up in a work house and many never saw their parents ever again. many were mal nourished and became sick and just wasted away and died, it was a shameful part of that society, and nobody likes to talk about it even today. Some of the little girls were prostituted at a very early age and contracted V.D. and died and if they were old enough became pregnant and died because their little bodies could not give birth and so the baby and the little mother died too. Some lived but they would take the little sick baby away and the little girl never ever saw her baby and those babies were drowned in a bucket of cold water and thrown away. My Grandmother was born in England in 1889, her Mother told her those stories and she told me those stories, I was 14 years old and I was sick after hearing those horrible stories. The work house people who ran those vile places also raped and beat those poor girls all the time some ran away and actually lived to tell of their nightmare life there and many died.

      Thanks for the great historical input but I will tell you something even worse as late as 1920s or 1940s in some eastern EU COUNTRIES. A man told me a story that brought me to tears also; a German woman who was born poor but became very rich [because she became opera singer] she also told me the same story. A Lithuanian man [who is half Russian and Half Lithuanian] told me that when he was a kid in those days there was a strange brutal culture in eastern EU this also included Germany as late as 1940s etc. He said all the babies used to be tied up in jars and left on floors while the mother went to work. Many babies died in the jars and on the floors when the mother came home because in those days the people were just too stupid, or the state was too damn stupid to realize the babies simply needed a nursing school. The Lithuanian man who is half Russian and half Lithuanian said, ‘he was left in a jar’- like the rest of the babies-and most of his sibling died this way ‘and that was the common culture.’ Then, a German woman [extraordinarily rich] who became my friend in the early 1990s, she told me the same thing. That- she left her son not in the jar but on the floor and when she came home: ‘the boy was somewhere asleep and injured and cried etc.’ That is the reason I put up this video. I also published a book on amazon to write about the state and how important it is that: the state or gov should look after the poorest people. But most people do not like reading now a days so instead just put a video. The link for the book is in the description you can read some ten pages free etc. There was enough money in each land that such brutality was not needed but wrong people were in the authority, so they failed their people that is the whole purpose of the book- actually. “That: when wrong people go to the authority, they bring unlimited suffering even though when you think about it that suffering was not supposed to be there because the people in the authority did not had the brain power.” By the time-the right people came to power: millions suffered and parishes. In, Afghanistan; the population was small, and the land was big but such a thing of what you told me and what the other guys told me was not allowed because they had a Religious, Tribel system, so the mother stayed with the kids and if they were very hungry the mosque feed them for three days in a row. It is now; because of war things went bad in most countries like Afghanistan. However, they had other problems they killed each other too quickly and the stories that I heard from people from that time who are now all dead are just as bad unfortunately. For someone like me we look for the cause of why it happened, so I WRITE BOOKS. I wrote in my book that in countries like the UK no one is supposed to be without a house or a flat as long as the population in the UK does not go above 90 millions. By the time the people get what people like me are saying it will be another generation it wont be this one. SO there were people in the old days who were talking about such things that it can tackled but most people thought they were crazy so their suffering continued. I once told a Nigerian man that when people grows up in certian culture they do not believe in anything but what they have seen and I pointed toward a particular people in the UK who has the highest crime rate and most of them do no seek progress at all because that is the way they were brought up-those kind of people in the UK are a good picture of the past world wide.

      proud she isnt lonely or being controlled and saw the archaic like system of division as rubbish and a cause of suffering for many. funny enough she acts like a modern strong women where back in the day women must be house wuves to husbands or get beaten up, that was the opposite if my grandpa doesnt behave she will whip up a shotgun & threaten him to sleep outside and find a way to break traditional things and see what is rational & in utility for the community.. that hardwork passed the combination of my grandma's fierce freedom and embracing the different and my grandpa's sense of justice and critics one of their children became key reformers to making our backwards community grow to have roads, proper schools and malls to shopping centres, we lived near a radio station at the sea and when they put the first house years later we had multiple neighbors i would counted it as a village (sadly one son who wanted to do more reform got murdered for doing the right thing like exposing to building). she never regrets on her life to sacrifice a life of luxury to the life she wants and when great grandma was at her death bed she regrets and did love my grandmother and asked for forgiveness and finding out that the old post spanish status quo of noble families isnt the norm no more and are out of money and decided to give the farms to us, never worked by the poor (think share croppers that are exploited) but cultivated it ourselves. funny enough one time my great grandmother during the days of Marcos the dictator, she was rubbing shoulders with the wife & other rich socialites and when the people's power came and the marcoses are forced to go into exile and ousted from power (plus getting their wealth too stolen from the whole country amount of wealth!) my great grandmother ousted the plan to steal the wealth from the marcoses when she asked her other son (half brother) who was a pilot evacuating one of the stores goods (gold, paintings, maybe the yamashita treasure too) wanted to land and deliver the plane to our farm hidden and chances are in an alternate universe my family name is gonna get hunted down by a government yet still refused, crazy history.. it started out when i wanted to update and write down the names of our family tree.

    Old Pictures. In viewing old pictures from the
    1800's, even 1700's lithographs, they have a peculiar way of
    jogging my memory of similar places and
    similar times. Times and places I once knew personally.
    A very long time ago.
    Many old pictures are what they are referred to as
    a daguerreotype. A photograph on metal like tin or lead.
    Nice old pictures bring back old memories this
    life's distractions have set aside. We have lived before.
    What we are now is an aggregate of all our previous lives
    contributing to our present being. Those who are referred to
    as "old souls" know what I am writing about. Precocious young
    children are drawing on their timeless energy and experience.
    They haven't yet been taught to ignore their "fantasies".
    Not everything in our past is taken away from us with
    each renewal of life. In those earlier lives we had passions
    even more genuine than those of today. Some of them had a way
    of ushering in the possessor of those passions into a new life
    whereby those passions were abated by the veil, and for good
    reason. People are becoming more inhuman and unhuman.
    Some people cycle upward, and some downward. We each have
    to draw on our aggregate wisdom to show us the correct way.
    Each gift of time we are blessed with is a time of growth.
    We must fight to retain it. Otherwise we will become completely
    disenfranchised from cumulative time, and feel completely displaced.
    This is why many people feel depressed and worthless. They have slipped
    off the pathway. Something has happened to temporarily
    cut off the source and memory of their past joys.
    When they find they can re-enter their aggregate memory,
    they will find complete healing and deliverance from this
    present life's ills.
    Old photos, and daguerreotypes were
    invented by man with the help of the Divine Father in Heaven
    for the express purpose of re-opening the doorway of remembrance
    and healing that has been cruelly shut by evil forces
    that seek to inhibit and destroy our progression.
    When you begin to remember, cherish those memories. They
    help carry you successfully through time.

Children dressed in rags and bare footed was the norm, with a good percentage dying before their teenage years. Men who were lucky to survive past their 40's usually dying of industrial disease or infections that are easily cured today. Those you see well dressed in these photos are business or middle class people and above. These nitty gritty photos bring realism to what it was really like back then.

      Good catch - that is indeed a young Samuel Clemens. Little known -in his day EVERYTHING was printed on presses with hand set type. Every single metal letter had to be taken out of a rack of thousands and placed backward into a frame by hand before running the paper through the press. Slow and awkward process. Twain was a rich man from his book sales and was convinced to invest in a mechanical typesetting contraption that looked like something from a Tim Burton movie. For years it only needed a bit more time and a lot more money to be made to work. But, of course, it never did and he ended up having to tour the world and lecture in his old age because he was broke.

      I suggest you just google something like black people in British history or something like that.

      @@zaftra Google simply does not have the amount of information that is out there. And, as you know, it is heavily censored. I have hundreds of old books, the only bs in which are decidedly from outside England. Also the number of bs both you and I saw would have been a tiny fraction of the bs that were there during this time. My guess is 1 in 10000. And these were photographed? You are either heavily deluded or brainwashed. Look at the evidence and not a modern film with a b Ann Bolyn. There were more mobile phones and computers in England then. Total fantasy.

    I look at these photos and the feeling i get is that of seeing our world's birth. Because this era was the birth of the world we now know. The Victorian era, also known as La Belle Epoque for francophone countries is basically the start of the world we have today
