@gravityskeptic8697 : It goes to show that regeneration isn't always a good thing...We're always on the run... Or it feels that way. Like nomads.

@stuartbritton7408 : I think you do have a point... about children being too attached to a video screen.. Cos it changes their behaviours as well... quite a bit... And people do talk less, and feel quite defensive all of the time. I do find myself to be similar also too. Bob's advert still stands true today..... "It's good to talk." ...

@baronvonlimbourgh1716 : So now it's a New York ? It is so weird... to see this... cos it goes to show how close-knit people were in the past... and not just a nameless face. Those buildings were really quite large factories, weren't they ? This was the genuine commonwealth global Britain of yester-years wasn't it ? ...

@madMARTYNmarsh1981 : Before people thinking that this is a good thing... Don't. Cos... once they release that bit of money... What really happens then is a... indirect inflation scenario... Cos... Our houses didn't go bust cos money is tied now internationally... So it does not go bust. At the same time... Once you leave a place.. and take that money... You cannot help that region ever again. Meaning... you could stay and change your property into a small business. With low or no rental costs.. or.. whatever. But once you leave it.. It might not be the same ever again. And is the only game then.. is a mere... "mass production".. or "businesses with N size" only ??... It makes no sense. To me, if such a property is sold.. You are looking at a trajectory... It will go down... I mean, an area will get further depressed. This is why now, there is a lot of SEOs marketing info... to "mark"... people.. and see what they decide, and then the estate agents swoops in... and go for the kill.... And then even things like Air BnB... is on the offer.. and people can desire to make a killing. Many people don't realise that, with the tech sector... they literally destroyed communities as well... they interfered with life.

@patrickdoyle9304 : You guys messed up.. by doing what everybody had done elsewhere before.. and said "no"... but you guys didn't stop it. And now... Well... This is now the BBC... you can let posts upon posts to retell this story.. and go viral on Youtube.. That's the lifestyle now. Rewrite and retell history... to make money.. Money based on the past mistakes... Cos people don't believe it is true. As they have been living in that technology filtered bubble. There is a lot of people like that. I think this video.. is also borderline on that era... of "life before the internet took off".... and now, for myself... I am aware that.. I am living in a "era that is full of social media analytics".... my life online is tracked here, or there, and everywhere... But why? For what? What purpose does it serve? Amazon started to sell my data back to myself..."You wrote this in 1995..."... I almost flipped !....

Have you ever been to Florence ? I recently saw a documentary on YT... about how the old London used to be. Am surprised that it was so... Cos the bridge in Florence was exactly like that. Such a warm feeling when I saw that.. I don't know why... What and how would people really react.. if one London, we brought that back into modernity ? Would people really go back in time.. and move back to London ?.... That entire bridge had both houses and people working there. Small shops.... but literal businesses. I dunno why, but I also love those old architectures.

People used to live there? 1951 ??? Oh my God.... So then it means that... this is the good old....property developer that literally takes the government's money and run ???.... Watching this in 2022.... I never knew that London had an actual industrious side.... And this really shows me those actual industrious part.... Now I can see where my father would've worked.... shipping goods... and docked... into London... from HK.... gosh.... It's funny, my mother would always make an effort to make us go down to London to see her friends.. I guess some of her friends stayed behind... and then we moved up North as a family... to be closer to her siblings.

@sonnyirish3678 : Then we play hard bottie... Cos Indians have already taken many tech jobs everywhere in the globe.. and at first.. I also don't understand why we have those used mobile phones and tech phones as well.. I get it now. They are for click farms. I want us to go into strongly into the waste sector. i want every single used mobile phone to reach the UK to be destroyed. Also.. UK still and does import a lot of Indian spices too... cos India is playing hard ball.. I think Microsoft... has bought a lot of lands in India as well... and they broke their cooperatives... and now they have supply chain issues and such like. Well... Many Indians wanted the great life... in the USA... so... and America is reacting backwards as well. We should also increase our waste to raw material processing as well.. once again.. and kick start some mini-manufacturing... And also get rid of the old clothing sectors... If we play this.. then India has no say... We don't even charge them patents for speaking English to begin with ! So what are they on about ! At the same time... the fake and bad "Life in the UK" tests are done by really bad and scammy Indian setups. I don't like it... Cos they cheat a lot of these migrants.. and they pay gazillion amount of pounds... and they keep failing them. I think 400 or whatever for each tests? And then not even... to get a visa .. yet either... But people still gun for this. People live in poverty is because of this. Even if the person is decent.. they end up being nasty in the end cos they've been cheated.

@lg_believe333 : And then... there is no living... and there is no integration... and then people will move away... Or that, there would be events... and things like that to integrate.. but then there would be no commerce. Maybe global commerce.. global brands... but you're just another consuming class now. Rather than to be a working class. But there do you find the money to consume with? Like it isn't a global... universal credit that allows you to earn... Shouldn't that have existed, if this was the case? Of course not... cos then that would be too progressive really. So people do not stay really.... They go. They leave.
