Framed #736 (I did watch it. I watched some detective thing on Amazon Prime which seemed quite good but I'm not sure if I'll continue watching it. I find everything interesting so I try to limit myself. There is such an abundance of stuff out there. I watched a BBC documentary from 1979 called Living Legends about Burke and Hare. It was a good documentary about corpse snatchers who ran out of fresh corpses to snatch and for financial reasons, in 1828, decided to make fresh corpses. Like Daft Jamie*. The financial incentive was that Burke and Hare would be paid by Robert Knox, who was a pretty good anatomist at Edinburgh University, who was simultaneously not asking too many questions about where the bodies came from and exploiting two violent men, latterly Irish 'navvies'**, whose relative poverty made the sums of money involved attractive. It was a half an hour long documentary and also very interesting to see Edinburgh in 1979. Not quite as dramatic a difference as Southwark in London in the late eighties through to the late 1990s, which is like the aliens have landed, but Edinburgh seemed quite a lot grubbier. Usual Saturday.)

** Navigators - primarily Irish immigrants - who dug from point A to point B before mechanical diggers, contributing greatly to the Industrial Revolution in the Great Britain. Currently about 10% of the UK population has one Irish grandparent. In 1960 it was something like 25%. I have an Irish great grandparent on my mother's side but they were somewhat moneyed judging by the 1900s Swiss skiing tickets in their photo book and historically inconvenient judging by the British uniform. I suspect they ended up here for other reasons. Anyway, I suppose the point I'm making, is most British people are at least a bit of Irish because of shagging somewhere in the past. Not that it's any solace or justification for things like the great famine or other major historical injustices; I suppose it's an argument for the awareness of those things and wariness of attributing blame to the literal descendants of those who emigrated (apart from mine, who were also proper Irish, but probably inconvenient Irish - I haven't looked into it a great deal).
