In `1924 my Grandfather was arrested for picking an apple from a tree. He was 14. He was sentenced to weekends at the Dakeyne Boys Home and it was there that he was tricked into going to Canada as a home child. Because he picked an apple from a tree when he was hungry.

Considering the political climate in the US now, I find it interesting how so many of the attitudes we'd find to be pretty out of date in the Victorians have been resurrected. Continuing to be hard on crime despite it not working, obsession with punishment, worry that the poor will take advantage if the workhouse isn't totally miserable...
@sonia94ist2 жыл бұрын
the punitive system in the US, from what I'm hearing, is the modern-day legalized slave labor. Cheap work, to make the rich richer, in the name of teaching the inmates a trade and showing them hard work or something. Not everyone can be salvaged, but those who can just end up institutionalized. And that's how capitalism in the US stays alive, exploitation, glorified slavery masked as correctional work or horribly low incomes and if you factor in the privatization of the most basic of goods, which is health care when it's offered, good or bad but it's free, that holds you captive to any system that provides it. Whether that's a prison, or it's a job that sucks the living out of you and pays pennies. My country's system isn't much better, but at least I can stay out of crime and survive, and I can say f off to an oppressive boss and won't worry about how I'll get by. Family, culture, public health care, and a decent well-fare state have my back.

This show should have been called “How the Victorians were awful to each other”, especially the aristocracy. Yeah, they invented a lot, but it was all out of greed and it was all built on the backs and lives of those considered “below” them. The Victorian era was fascinating to me, but it truly was horrible in a lot of ways. I’ve always wondered about Queen Victoria, you always hear about the era, her lover for Albert, but they never talk about if she was a good Queen, I mean, that last bit where she had the laws changed because she was mad the guy who tried to kill her got off wasn’t thinking about “the people”, that was almost a temper tantrum move on her part. The Victorian era has always seemed very much to be an era of selfish acts based on greed or class, I love learning about it, but wouldn’t want to live somewhere that was run the way it was in that era.

Something I will never understand is the polarity in views on England and later the UK. Either people think that they are the greatest thing ever in history or the absolute worst. The truth is certainly a mix of the two rather than some happy compromise between the two or either extreme. So why is it that almost everything seems to be propaganda from one of the extremes? Sure, a show like Time Team did explore both the great and the abhorrent from Great Britain as a whole with the occasional foray into places like Ireland, mainland Europe and even Maryland. Yet for all of the documentaries from the UK and on the UK (as well as earlier iterations like England or Wessex), whichever position is favored, the other side tends to be used only to highlight their own position. The exceptions that prove the rule if you will. I should say that I do understand why someone would want to promote or denigrate things and why they would do such things in the first place, what I do not understand is why we allow it all to continue to exist.... is it simply because nobody cares? Is it because people do not want nuance and complexity in whatever topics? Are people too stupid or brainwashed? I can ask a hundred more questions here, those I just asked are far more rhetorical than actual questions. History is a complex topic and despite what some people think, is constantly evolving due to how the facts of it are interpreted, not just the discovery of new facts, while a fact is a fact, how one sees those facts within the context they exist is what changes. It seems to me that this is lost upon far too many people. Yes this was something of a ramble and more about how history is viewed in general by the general population than this or any one specific tv or tv style documentary. I guess the truth really is simple is as simple does.

Just as one example, take the videos of Dracinifel on naval matters. Question: If something is so light as to be ignored or forgotten in moments, what is the point in the first place? Surely if it is a topic worth remembering, as the history of the UK most certainly is, it is worth doing justice to that topic.

Now do the real history of Ireland and the famine. Even your own own citizens, doctors, and newspapers called out the government and monarchy on what the English did to Ireland. Just this year, 2021, Ireland's population has recovered to what it was before 1847. Convenient how they always blame the failure of the potato crop. That is what they expected Ireland to live on. Corn, wheat and other food crops were shipped out to England all through the famine. Under English lords who ran the tenant farmer system once English law forced fathers to split their farms between their sons when the died, making the farm smaller and smaller until no one could raise enough food to survive, let alone have livestock. Then they took it when the farmers went into debt to feed their family and couldn't pay it back because they couldn't sell their crops, they were needed to eat. Much worse than transport, you could have been Irish and starved to death or took your chances on a coffin ship. Mythird great grandfather left in 1847, his wife died of ships fever on the way over. He had one son with him, less than 1 year old. My other Irish grandfather left in 1830, to land he was promised in Nova Scotia if he would leave Ireland. It was uninhabitable.

Meanwhile, actual law enforcement does make you go to the hospital hand have a rape kit performed to collect evidence if you claim to have been raped. They take your claim seriously unless they obtain evidence contrary to what you are telling them. "Rape Culture" isn't real, and the numbers of actual rapes in the US is much much lower than you think it is. There are far, FAR too many women who claim to have been assaulted when they haven't, and most of these women never report this supposed rape to the police. Why? Because it didn't happen. If you were actually raped, you would go straight to the police because you would want to see the man punished. As women, we know not to wash, but to go straight to the hospital for a rape kit if we are assaulted for them to collect a rape kit for evidence. And yes....they can tell during that exam if it was rape or consensual sex...which is why all these fake as heck claims never go to the police. They would be found to be lying fairly quickly just with the exam. Im not saying rape doesn't occur, because it does....just that it doesn't occur as often as we are made to believe.

When you HAVE to build more jails/ prisons, your legal system is not working. Instead, execute those that are due and make room. Simple. 👍

I simply cannot under- stand why British law did not realize, understand, or accept, that these attitudes and practices toward offenders simply do not work. Then again, there are indeed those who will be or cannot be reformed. There are offender's who absolutely should never be released back into the community. Capital punishment requires too much room for comment. And what about the ever growing room and space problem. And just why is it that some countries have such a problem with criminality. The assumption that you are guilty came with merely an arrest and even mere accusation. Law weighed heavily on the side of the prosecu- tion. Proving guilt then was essentially already made. Assumption of innocence at least, requires an objective preponderance of evidence, - this appears much more judicial.

What is with this crime wave of stealing handkerchiefs all about? It seems a tiny bit of an inflated truth.

A Victorian "gentleman's" handkerchief was not any old snot rag, but a large square of silk. An expensive commodity.

Saying one can't imagine those punishment cells in modern times should go to Iran, Iraq, Saudi Arabia and a few other countries with medieval justice systems. Those kind of punishments still exist in these times along with human trafficking etc. etc.

If doctors and midwives had encouraged wives to use condoms for 3 years after every pregnancy, they would have cut the birth rate. There really was no choice but to export the excess population since the economy couldn't sustain the population. Mid-class people struggled to live, and apprenticeships were expensive. A fairer distribution of farmland would have helped thousands, but in the end, there just weren't decent jobs for many. Unless ordinary people postponed marriage until age 30 or 35 and lived very frugally, they couldn't possibly rise above poverty. My ancestors were tradesmen and middle class people who moved to the U.S. I hate to thing how they would have lived if they had stayed. Some joined the Mormons and found a good life in the West.

I've watched every episode of this Victorian Britian series on here....and I have to say, they are very obvious about their disdain for American ingenuity during this time period. At times they even go so far to gloss over the original American inventor, and then go on about a British inventor that took that invention and produced their own British version of it. As if it were an entirely British invention. The lightbulb being one example. Truth matters. Especially when teaching about historical facts. If you want to do a series about the historical contributions of Britian in the Victorian era...then just focus on the factual British Contributions. Don't take credit for what other countries developed and then pass it off as if Britian was somehow the pentacle of technological and engineering advances during this time. It's disgraceful and extremely obvious to those of us who take our human history very seriously, and value the truth.

They built prisons and they turned a large portion of the world into giant plantations to suck out all their wealth, and thus laid the groundwork for the totalitarian post-colonial ultracapitalist hell world we live in today. God Save the Queen! Rule Britannia! Britannia rule the waves! Britons will never never never be accountable for all the slaves!
