I love the class/ethnic solidarity. The lady at the end really puts things into perspective. Growing up on a British housing estate myself, I remember a lot of this. A friend of mine at the time, whose mother was Afro-Caribbean, noticed a palpable shift in treatment around the late 1970s. As we all did actually. I am half-Irish and on occasion that could cause problems for us due to the conflict in Northern Ireland at the time.

The Scouse accent seems to be a lot stronger nowadays compared to even 4 decades ago, which is not that long ago when you think about it. I've heard how the Beatles, Tony Booth, Cilla Black, Tom O'Connor and the other famous Liverpool people from the 1960's and the 1970's, but when you listen to a group of younger people speaking together it's probably hard for someone who is not used to the accent to understand them. Some modern day Liverpool people have such strong accents that they almost sound like they are Liverpool people trying to impersonate themselves.

Back then these flats were well built but like the woman said 7 people in it was overcrowded, why didn't the council decide as people vacated a property, they could and should have knocked two flats into one, so plenty of space and rooms for the whole family to live in without providing a house for them, to many of these buildings were torn down and replaced by inadequate houses, and so it goes on. A place in Huyton where I lived the flats were crap (1981-85), but the council to them over (2005) and made them open plan flats, they look beautiful now , if we plan things correctly it works, but back then it was throw them up and sod them. As for the troubles, the same lady was right, the kids back then had no jobs, no where to play, and no future hence the trouble.

Exact same pronunciation as Dublin and also they have the same musical sing song up and down accent, ,musical intonation. Up to a half a million Irish landed there after the famine, it's no wonder the Liverppol accent changed in the 19th Century. that man at 14.00 sounds a lot more like a Dubliner than someone from St Helens or Wigan.

@23:21 all these lad are in their late 60's - respect to vince, trevs, spikey (rip), mason, wons !

8:52: It's amazing that as long ago as 1972 there were _fourth_ generation Blacks in Liverpool. This is at a time when most English people outside cities would've barely seen any immigrants, let alone known any. I know someone born after that who didn't see a Black person until she was 8 (in the 1980s). Liverpool has the oldest established Black community in the UK and the oldest Chinese community in Europe. South Shields in Newcastle has had a long-standing Arab (Yemeni) community and Cardiff a lot of Africans, especially Somalis. In Limehouse in east London there used to be local newspapers complaining of Chinese opium dens and drunken brawls between Scandinavian seamen as long back as 1922. Port towns really are demographically and culturally distinct from the rest of the country. Liverpool might have been the least English (given that the Whites there are largely of Irish and Welsh stock) for the longest time. And historically the most left-wing.

I cant imagine people growing up now would understand what it was like to never see a black person for the first maybe decade of your life.

You'll find that those port cities had black people in the 19th century due to the sailors from Africa & the Caribbean setting down with a English lady.

It's amazing to see how in some respects things have changed significantly since those days (back then there were very few cars, appalling dilapidated homes, such poverty and mass unemployment, and generally much more relaxed attitudes to different races today compared to then), yet some things have barely changed (Police do nothing, no Bobbies on the beat, politicians and councils have let the people down). Quite fascinating actually. Lots more cars there now, but most of them are on bricks now..................................... :)

I watch this and see how the 2 sides say the same things about each other. Maybe with the current protests in 2020 more people can try harder to see things from the other's point of view. I'd would be interested to see if the people interviewed think things have changed for the better or if they feel it just as bad.
