This is a must watch. At its peak, no city in Britain had a stronger claim to being the workshop of the empire than Glasgow. The Second City. On Clydeside and across the city, three names every household knew. Singer whose Clydebank works was once the largest sewing machine factory on earth. John Brown's whose yard launched the Lusitania, the Queen Mary, the QE2. North British Locomotive the largest steam engine builder in Europe. Today, Glasgow has the lowest life expectancy of any city in the United Kingdom. Almost a third of its residents live in the most deprived ten per cent of Scotland. The population has collapsed by nearly half a million people since nineteen fifty. So how does a city like this collapse? To really understand what went wrong, you need to understand three things. Seven Prime Ministers. One document written in nineteen forty-six. And a publisher who, eighty years before that, tries to fix the city and pays the heavy price for it. youtube.com/watch?v=5qzUBk…
