This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

This reminds me of a very short but very good documentary
The Barbican: A Middle Class Council Estate
I was watching this and thinking, almost. How did a country start building like this, for the people and then stop. Then it is all apparent, the Witch got in power.
It appears the growth of these "for the benefit of people" views were replaced with the old ages of the greatest and silent generation, and replaced with the "me, me, me. My money" of the boomer generation.
I can't help but thinking how things could have been different if we continued on from the old timers. I know ww2 destroyed an economy that was lucky to survive it, that's in itself is also an interesting thing to think how the world would have been without it.
Not British and haven't watched the video you linked, so I'm guessing... Thatcher?
Yea. He didn't actually mention her just said the conservatives got in power and sold the country.
