    Doing research on the workhouses. Thank you. Well done.

    My great-grandmother was a young servant who got pregnant out of wedlock, and my grandmother was born in Gloucester Workhouse at the dawn of the Edwardian era. She was later sent to Canada as a Barnardo home child, never knowing her mother had surrendered her unwillingly. This really isn't far off at all.

      A lot of very heartless people today All it takes is a dip in the economy job loss or illness and we could all be in that position There are very few that don’t want to work. This is the crap that the government is feeling the middy class
      You never know when you could be on that position Thrre but for the grace of God Michelle

      @@Michelle-qd9gm Sounds like an extreme right wing trope you are repeating.

    We could see workhouses again with the way that politicians support the banks and corporations and how the western right wing govts have been chipping away at the social safety net, freezing minimum wage and supporting free trade. Once again greed has power and money is more important than people! Requests for the inadequate social services of today are often being refused. Wages don;t cover the cost of living today. There is more contempt towards each other in society and apathy at best.

      Republicans are all about creating incentives, like utter terror as you look over a giant chasm and the urge to run away. A horrific social system, these greedy fools are going to wreck society.
