      LOL - Never studied the real history of London's working class slums, workhouses, Rowntree Reports, smog, cholera, TB, polio etc. Of course the real 'enforced enrichment' was the looting of the coloniesand keeping them as captive market plantations etc. which made Britain the richest country in the world under Victoria. Along with looting India's wealth [estimated at US$45 Trillion from 1757-1938 which financed the Industrial Revolution and much else in Britain - search Jason Hickel India] they also took India's foodgrains for British Food Security and Profit. As retold in Late Victorian Holocausts, in 1877 as record amounts of India's grains were stole, reducing prices for Westerners, Disraeli's regime set up camps in South India for those famine victims still able to work [rest left to die] which gave less starvation rations than Buchenwald for hard labour killing 94% of inmates! In 1900 1/4 of Britain's wheat was brought in from India. In 1901 The Lancet estimated that at least 19 million died of starvation in Western India due to British policies. In 1936 Orwell wrote in Road to Wigan Pier that 100 million Indians must be forced to the edge of starvation so that the British can live in comfort.

      Interestingly, in 1909 there occured the "Tottenham outrage,
      2 Serbians had attempted to assassinate the then French president,and failing,fled to Scotland where they remained hidden for 1 year.
      Their names were Lapidus and Helfeld.
      They returned to Tottenham and attempted to rob a paint factory in Tottenham of its wages money being taken to the bank as normal by a young boy and a protector
      .several persons were shot.
      In those days the public could constitutionally carry arms for self defence, but the police then only carried wooden truncheons.The public joined forces with the police and a long chase commenced with several police casualties.
      Eventually on capture Helfeld shot himself and Iapidus was shot and killed by a member of the public.
      The only permitted police weapon arrived by bicycle with a police Sargeant carrying a Cutlass sword.

Anteros was the god of "requited" love or "Love Returned." Eros, his brother is NOT atop the fountain. Eros was the god of "Carnal Love." Eros was also known as Cupid. Get your facts straight.
