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 also an interesting to thing to think what could have been.

Not British and haven’t watched the video you linked, so I’m guessing… Thatcher?
