But many of the jobs in the heavy industries near there went...especially up the Dearne and Don valleys...whose mines fed Sheffield with coal...strange how so many folk worked with their hands then ...but now they tend to sit at home or behind a desk somewhere...the Testosterone levels have plummeted...apart from those who now pump iron all day...the others oft do drugs in most places. Itriguing to see the fight and flight responses in men...What I really miss is the sense of purpose, camarderie, care, sharing...communal showers, banter...you worked with people you knew in most situations...they had your back...then came Thathcher, Neoliberalism, and global corporates...and with these...money was king, people were fodder...and back door colonialism and legalised crooks stole the wealth of the common people...now their towns are oft just shells pf what they were...no jobs, no nothing...hope has died in many places...since the 70s and 80s...it hit the Americal Midwest hard...and the places of heavy industry in S Yorks, S Wales, Scotland, and a few other places dotted here and there...all so the super rich could become even richer... and others could capitalise on these crooked ways to ensure their own security...f___ the rest. The impoverished places always seem to fight back though through neighbourhood schemes...and neighbourly love...I guess Christ and the Beatles were right after all...all you need is love!
