Dickens workhouses started with good intentions

[Tommy Tainant]

Definitely off today.

HIs father , John : John Dickens was forced by his creditors into the Marshalsea debtors' prison in Southwark, London in 1824. His wife and youngest children joined him there, as was the practice at the time. Charles, then 12 years old, boarded with Elizabeth Roylance, a family friend, at 112 College Place, Camden Town

It was not unwilling at all and you misstate the intentions AND the connection with Capitalism.

Everything you say is shown false , in detail, with references , by the master historian of that era

A shitty country.

That wasnt the worst of it.

That wasnt the worst of it.

I find it odd that 19th century society is held up by many as a time of righteousness and family values, when in reality no other point in history saw as much pedophilia and poverty-driven prostitution.
