Thank you so much for your support! I'm glad you enjoyed the video.
There are so many changes and pieces of improvements so I can't decide. Thank you for your video.
How interesting
Old money is so interesting because it suggests aristocratic values, which stand in marked contrast to bourgeois values that define the modern world, from aesthetics to morality. Thank you for the interesting video! I liked the whole thing and especially the narrator’s RP accent! My question is whether Old Money Lovers can emphasize old money culture (beliefs and practices) in the modern world, in addition to the various possessions and investments. Thanks again!

@@colinpace1987 I don’t know why I watched this video, it was sponsored, I wasn’t actively looking for this type of content. I watched it regardless and enjoyed. I read your comment but I can’t figure out if this channel or yourself are romanticising aristocracy/old money?

@@fieldmarshaljoe I find your comment amusing because I’m a progressive liberal and critical thinker. Call it a historical interest why I’d like to know about Old Money values and culture. Take classicism, for example, as an aristocratic value lost in bourgeois modernity. I laud classicism, not for its aristocratic association, but for its expansive worldview. What else did we do away with needlessly?
Thank you. They are obscenely rich however the Portman's trusts do appear to help communities where they have property. The improvements they have made are far superior to the ghastly garish mess of revolting decorated exteriors of nasty shops and takeaways everywhere. It's devasting to see much of London is shabby, vulgar and clutterd with undesirable shop fronts, litter, thunderous traffic and horribly attired people. The elegance of London is only found in the more exclusive areas and even these have fallen victim to unrefined shops. Xxxx ❤❤❤

Don't like how they buy beautiful old british buildings and turn them into ugly americ*n looking new builds, great video though
