The Second Tyne Tunnel

The Second Tyne Tunnel should have been between North and South Shields. Roman soldiers could wade across at the Black Middens. Even when its built there will be cues on the A19 back to The Roman Road. How only Arabs are allowed to work on the project is rediculous but there is a mosque in Laygate.

People who leave Jarrow tend to try to forget the people they once were there. Lists of Jarrow names seem to predate The World Wide Web.

The last time Arabs were let loose on a major tunnelling project they did so well everyman (staff/collegues etc) were mentioned in despatches.

The following past and present staff members from Arab offices worldwide are among those who made a significant contribution to the many projects within the Channel Tunnel Rail Link:-

The Second Tyne Tunnel will land grab areas of Jarrow. Drivers are mainly passing through.

Simonside

'A river man, or a man of the woods, or of any farm-life in These States, or of the coast, or the lakes, or Kanada.'

In the scheme of things cycle around inquisitive. Because once say realizing there may be a God at work somewhat like a shepherd. It's nice to guess if there is a Creator. Especially on a Sunday!

In the case of England, although its wrong to anthropomorphism The Creator, a lesser being might think, that in some English cities goodness and kindness were no longer at work only repletion and habituation.

There is an inescapable gold braid with the Mayflower leaving Boston harbour Lincolnshire, Walt Whitman, Ralph Emerson, Henry Ford and Sylvia Plath in Primrose Hill. There is a theory that Spirits speak through the mouth of Chosen People and the exactness of genius in William Shakespeare and Sylvia Plath point to this axiom being true. Sylvia Plath, almost reluctantly as a rational atheist began to think about the existence of God.

That Chicago was the nadir of earthly godliness in people, a slaughterhouse, and that pastoral vegetarian Michigan was the zenith of a world left by The Shepherd God for his Flock People to walk among.

A parallel emerges in England. Nottingham is the Naddirsville of England, a modern Coventry where no one speaks to strangers, oddly at the very geographical centre of the country through which drains it's main and voluminous river. The Trent drains Middle England.

William Booth founder of the Salvation Army was born in Sneinton, Nottingham an inner sururb and whirlpool of drowning humanity. A plaque heralds his name but the Queen Anne Georgian house is engulfed by 1960s blocks in an overgrown garden. The residents and staff are locked in dying safe from the dying streets unchanged in modernity.

Standing there knowing how the people of Nottingham live in suspended animation, fearing to speak out, habitually hanging on to their positions, a city where words are not spoken among the crowds, that all human afflictions are gathered below in the Beast Market and High Pavement the Mayflower is visualized leaving England that only leaving Europe and setting up in America would do.

It is almost plausible that a New World was laid on for the Pilgrim Fathers.

Almost like a mythical Rebirth enabled. As if Resurrection was a universal wish.

The Mayflower stopped off in Zealand and Plymouth and took 12 years to reach New England.

Walt Wittman's poetry are of godliness and salvation to be found by walking out of the city into landscape.

Nottingham like Rome built on steep hills like Valley Top away from the mills and factories on a small tributary of the river Trent. Raleigh Cycles and Wills Cigarettes factories once here on dark streets of heavy trees. The workers heritage is to shout above the machines though the machines have gone abroad to Taiwan and Vietnam, to shout along coal mines even though they are above ground now and to live in far out suburbs where many are driven mad by poverty.

The remote infamous suburbs of Daybrook, Arnold, Bullwell, Nuthall, New Basford, Bramcott and Stapleford are like so many Sargasso Seas. Like seas without shores.

The residents are alien looking as if they know a stranger is so. They dart up and scrutinise but never speak.

There is little homogeneity in the people. Each one seems to be odd and beauty resides in the children in wealthier suburbs and the off world colony of West Bridgford once guarded on the footbridge to floodplain The Meadows stopping unsavoury characters crossing in to the planned town.

Nottingham from the air is a mess, odd for a classic castle to cathedral fortress. The Lace Market district is inert and dead.

Camden Town London is the zenith to Nottingham's naddir. Classic Regency, Crimea or Edwardian houses. A vortex of international young people. Young people here manage to make their 500 character traits interesting. Creative, young and chattering, and the opposite to Nottingham in most respects.

There is no Geordie or Machem Slang in this article nor mention of Fatmansqueeze, Whitelees Jetty, Pier or Landing, Saint Bede, Seeker Dan, Don Owar, The Jarrow Lad, Geordie Fawshaw, Paul Rowan, Gerard Dixon, Peter Dawson, Peter Coyne, Peter Lagan or Vince Rea. There is no mention of Jarrow Slake or The Jarrow March either. References to The New Tyne Tunnel, The A19 or Primrose Dene are absent as are those to Farmer Dodds,Farmer Larsen and Stan Mallam.

Ravenscar

In Ravenscar Summer 2004 I completed a tour round the English coast by cycle. The only public building in the Yorkshire village of Ravenscar is a two story ticket office on the former railway line stopped from Whitby. On the train from Hull factory worker says that 5000 Portuguese lived in Hull and this was certainly true of Boston, Lincolnshire. She was worried that foreign cars were not insured so any victim could be lame and not compensated. No one had bothered that since carrots could not be levitated in to tins Western Europe's poorest workers could not seasonally help them on their way in to supermarkets.

That summer mainly young Polish workers had penetrated in to every corner of England from Folkestone to Malvern from Silsby to Rotherhithe. When Europe expanded a dollar earned in England was worth ten dollars in Poland. The United States of Europe will be formed in 2015 and there will be no restriction of workers geographically.

The Worksop sandwich factory employs 1200 Poles helping exports of English food. If you are not a Pole it is not easy to find work in this giant shed. The Polish girls reacting to ambient temperature get pregnant and soon Slavic looking girls in school uniforms are in evidence. These children reap the rewards of their parents toil.

Meanwhile the unfavoured English feel and are left behind.

Whitby

Beyond the North Sea the island of England was penetrable by German tribes and more recently by Rhine barges. The Angles, Saxons and Jutes were so familiar in this geographical area the sea is also known as The German Sea. Bicycles are often to be seen on these barges perhaps used to visit shopping centres often on rivers and canals.

England before the industrial revolution was a wealthy country almost entirely due to pastoral sheep farming which was more commonplace in Eastern England. In one Suffolk linear town each house is a castle with a moat. Nowadays prosperity depends on a myriad of sources often only in the minds of people like finance and tourism. In England foreigners and home visitors visit historical sites looking at how economic activity was manifest in the past.

Many English towns and cities held in aspic and in name are perpetuated often by government work structures and finance.

A collapse is imminent in some areas of English activity especially in local government regarded by many as being of little purpose. The Soviet Republic of England under New Labour if left to a Conservative/Tory regime may result, though currently unlikely, in towns and cities dying as Jarrow did in 1933.

The candidates for a economic collapse are in Lancashire, Derby, Nottinghamshire heartlands of BNP (British National Party) and New Labour. UKIP (United Kingdom Independence Party) support is nationwide and represents unfashionable train spotting nobodies who rarely have impact unless diluted on English politics.

However hundred year events have occurred in English politics recently.

Left to their own devises and stimulated by Isreali out of town American style shopping, or by Tory radical policy of the sort Baden Powell Boy Scouts letting the unemployed and poor rot and die, some towns and cities may be left as only names in memories of old people.

Heidelberg

Germany's Sharing Culture developed mainly in the seidlung time now becomes useful instead of shedding their workers they wait a few years till someone wants to buy a new Heidelberg or Structural Glazing. Amazingly 60% of English arbeitgeber are doing this further cornering abeitloser in a dead end of idleness.



England is the most densly populated country in Europe now denser than boring flat and sinking Holland. The Polders are amomg the least populated. Walking around The Wash, East Anglia it is possible to traverse farmland and not see a single soul. In 1947 laws meant that cities were ligatured with Londoners being dumped in marshes like Basildon and Pittsea. Chemicals were also shipped to Basildon by lorry and left in swamps. The Garden City drawings were nice and as they grew old the Communist Israeli Eccentrics moved into the better New Towns of Hampstead Garden Suburb and Letchworth. Space is used liberally and there is much land grab. Letchworth though having the first roundabout the biggest and most elaborate was in Swindon.

It was long suspected that planners were not educated in anything whatsoever were subsequently demonised and just drew roads where they fancied. The built environment was still in 2D.

No counting of who is currently in England is made by Whitehall Mandarins and no visionary housing plan has actually been enacted in 16 years. Strange because Government knowledge on housing is near perfect according to house building rules.

For Green Belt read Golf Course.

The middle class English are copying the do-good culture of Germany and pretending it was their invention zum beispeil recycling, schritt fahren, naturschutzgebeite und spilzler.

Hebburn v Jarrow

Decline of English cities is marked in the physical disappearance of factories, and fragmentation in inner cores. Some cities and towns have fought back like Sheffield by investing regional development grants to transform the inner city as with Sheffield tram, Hallam University and Sheffield railway station.


Newcastle's money went on Jesmond, the ruling middle class district linked with Newcastle United season tickets, stem cell research and Newcastle University buildings. The people are still poor in Tyne Dock, Percy Main and Scotswood. In cities like Manchester and Leeds having their own critical mass civic rebirth has occurred. The Bull Ring Birmingham is the only obvious landmark in in Birmingham but Birmingham will suffer due to the collapse of the motor industry. Wolverhampton exists mainly as a railway stop in to Wales and a racecourse. The Black country is latticed with a network of canals with tourism and building development potential. Liverpool though isolated is reborn through the building of a private city within dark colonial buildings.



Coventry is only changed by the Motor Museum (a collection of all English cars and cycles) whilst Litchfield, Daventry and Tamworth are unchanged. Royal Leamington Spa, Kennilworth and Warwick are historical towns to the south of Birmingham. Gloucester, Cheltenham, Worcestershire and Evesham linger in a time warp.



Sunderland, Middlesborough and Hull suffer isolation and the steel industry landscape is under threat on Teeside.

There is a pocket of resilience west of The Pennines from Leek, via Macclesfield to
Southport.

Stoke on trent, Corby in Northamptonshire, Burnley, Scunthorpe, Halifax. Loughborough and Bradford all appear as figments of an industrial past.

Some satelite towns like Swindon and Basingstoke are in decline.

England is a collection of sick urban spaces trawled by zombies looking for something to do.

There is no initiative to even build English bicycles. Cycles have need of no fuel, are environmentally harmless are not noisy and require only a flat thin surface to traverse. 100s of cycles could be made instead of 1 car. Henry Ford's car after all was only a motorized wagon.

Maplethorpe

Nottingham is further from the coast than any other English city. The people holiday in Skegness and often own or rent caravans on the east coast of England in places like Ingoldmells, Sandilands, Sutton on sea, Mablethorpe, Seathorpe and Cleethorpes.
The dullness of the area is part due to waves of Jutes invading from Denmark to the areas like the Isle of Axholme. Cultivating turf, a declining industry and pig farming centred on flat lands east of Doncaster.

No county and city contrast more than Nottingham and Nottinghamshire. The county lies mainly to the east of the city on the River Trent. Nottinghamshire is one of the best counties to cycle in to via country roads and The Grantham canal. Nottingham is a city existing only in the past. Nottingham is a city only in name and emblematic of England's industrial decline.

Slough the least tranquil town and Uxbridge fair much better.

Cheshunt, Herfordshire is the best town to work in Nottingham one of the worst which is described as on a 'life support machine since the 1980's once a city of diverse manufacturing, now has no industry apart from call centres and bar work'.

Malta Gibralta

English people would know straight away: The Northern Irish (Unionists) are the world's most bigoted hominids: They have ready answers ready, but don't give anything away due to the interrogations, like. Its Immigration and Unemployment that concern the Northern Irish. It was only a matter of time that Romanians would draw the attention of Ian Paisley's children.

Walking down a Unionist street garlanded with St. George flags among dry stone walls and the call of the countryside never far away feel the certainty of strangers being held in the cold light of day.

In his heyday Ian Paisley was magnificent. Ian Paisley was the world's greatest orator. Now he has taken the Queen's Penny.

In a Folkestone cycle shop a Romanian family enter en masse but the staff suspect them because like tinkers they rarely buy anything. These single Romanian families are conspicuous do not speak English in houses overlooking The English Channel.

In Kentish Town dozens of Romanians enter a cigarette shop and the shopkeeper from Malta fetches a rifle. A derelict school is given over to house 600 Romanians in the Kentish Town part of The London Borough of Camden with a murder rate of over 30 per annum. (tbc) In Austria some have long nails, dress in colourful garments (loin clothes) and wild as Scottish Wild Cats.

Even now middlestand Germans regard sigoiner as unacceptable because they remain outside the capture of a society which would through education drain any survival traits left in them. An endless gleichshaltung across the earth spreads like a nanotechnology virus gone wrong. Gleichshaltung: The same process started for The Jacobite with massacre at Glencoe at the hands of William III of Orange . Rebellion lingered North of The Border because of Scotland's unique geography with The Lowlands and Argyle, Wester Ross and The Highlands behind.

These Picts and Scots welcome strangers as long as they go home.

Romanians abroad remain an enigma. Some say they are not to be trusted. There are only a few in England perhaps due to the Channel Tunnel portal being festooned with barbed wire and the breadth of the English Channel.

Most Romanians would prefer to remain here. Oddly Romania was a popular holiday destination for English Baby Boomers particularly miners and other well paid industrial workers where there was a if tenuous slightly left of centre link.

The village structure and the climate are the important differences as Ukraine for example suffers the chill winds of Siberian winter whist being composed of 100,000s of villages about the same distance apart and until recently very isolated.

Insight and a sixth sense allows me to know what they are really like though.

Lichtefelde West

There are good foreigners and bad ones. Scottish POWs were surprised how kind their German captors were. Like the two headed eagle they looked upon the eastern foreigner in a very different way.

In the war game whoever gets Germany always looses but only after a long battle where the German forces were in front. Then England and Russia joined forces, eventually meeting at the Patentamt Hallisches Tor, Berlin.

Place names infamous in Germany have pastoral origins with a fascinating harmlessness. In Berlin 'things' happened in innocuous apartments, streets and parks which have faded and disappeared. Memories of these have faded. Think on the Stassi in Lichtenberg, Rosa Luxemberg in Tiergarten and Freidenau (peaceful meadow). In Lichtefelde, Holorith machines were built and traded by a new mercantile suited workforce, based in the same villa avenue as the training HQ for the secret police. Workers were 'consequent' in carrying out orders with chilling effects. At the women's labour camp in Mecklenberg Vorpommern, the leader promoted from a bookkeeper, the kind of girl ;from round here'.

Lichtefelde means field of light. These names are more Nordic and have some credence for a legitimate cry of spirit.

Even holy Schlactensee with it's sweet water was overshadowed by the villa of Reinhardt Heidrick. Now there is Butter Lindner and Commerzbank linked to the station by a tunnel when the bank was robbed in 1995. Now there are wild boars and a Liddle supermarche.

In garden colonies vagrants and migrant families were reported and after being rounded up and removed to trains in Yorkstrasse and Anhalter Bahnhof.

In modern Lichtefelde residents can be seen cycling on cobbled streets to the 'Bioladen' highlighting a strange English link between Fascism and Organic Food as experienced by the aristocratic 'adlerisch' Sussex landowners of the 1930s. Their decline may have sparked WW2.

This is all so strange from a völkischcommunity so sharing, so polite and so aware of their civic duties. They must have been driven by deeply meaningful scarcity in the means of life and raw survival.

There is profound contradiction in a country so much closer to the heat and cold of life and death.

Deutsche Demokratische Republik

If you tire of London or England fly over to Berlin and cycle round Brandenberg and Mecklenberg to Leipzig by train or visit Karl Linea's garden near Dessau. Remember this area is less compact than England and landscapes can be bleak with little obvious facilities. Then you may just chance upon a lonely treasure like Lausitz. The Lake District beyond Oranianberg is full of surprises and empty beautiful landscapes bejewelled with villages. From Leipzig follow the tram route to isolated lakes beyond the plattenbau seidlung

Access Brandenberg and Mecklenberg-Vorpomern from Berlin railway stations. The obvious journey is to Potsdam. There are other more obscure trips. North to outer suburbs beyond the S-Bahn Ring but within the Berliner Ring. Step out at colonies at the end of S-Bahn lines to seidlungen often modelled on English country houses which in turn themselves were modelled on German Landhouses. Some isolated Landhouses became derelict during the DDR era but are now revived.

It was common for former owners of these and other houses to reclaim them especially on the Berlin-Berlin as at Glindow(tbc) where the STASSI had occupied the better houses of disenfranchised former Germans.



Other destinations include direct south to protogenic Brandenberg towns with cobbled streets and not much else. Travel along allees across the region where there is sure to be a burgeoning tourist accommodation industry.

Travel to Frankfurt am Oder to access Stetin on the Baltic. By careful this is still Injun Country. Safety is not guarenteed so plan ahead. You can always return to the safety of Germany.

Clay Cross

The Society of Righteous and Harmonious Fists.

NSDAP inter war Germany was hijacked early on by Adolph Hitler incorporating NATIONAL and SOCIALIST. In England NATIONAL and SOCIALIST translates to PATRIOTIC and LOCAL. And the English are profoundly patriotic. Germans and the logical German language tend to bring about chilling effects. This is not so in England or with the ambiguous English language. The point was that c1900 politics centred around Vienna caused or enabled rather, war and hunger. Novo Centa appears to be a pivotal date in Asia too as with the Boxer Rebellion. The East is East and West is West as thou say. Hunger is deterministic with a threshold and cut off point leading to conflict. German National Socialism was the only way to feed the Germans. Hunger in human beings is profound and deterministic leading inexorably to conflict with rival cultures especially spatially and geographically. No such geographical inertia exists now with hominids able to change continents within 15 hours. The timescale involved Hitler Youth growing in to young men and fighting the Blitzkrieg.

The date of 1929 is equal to 2009 meaning a Great War will occur in 2019 whereby the settled peoples of the world will wipe out nomadic peoples. This is a fundamental conflict mode inherited from the Fertile Crescent. Refer to Lewis Mumford 'The City in History'. As in the 1930s the economy like a doomed submarine bounces along the seabed for a decade culminating in inevitable world depopulation through The Third World War. Only war can officially signal the end of The Second Great Depression. The four horses of the Apocalypse will stop galloping off in to oblivion, only when millions have perished. The war will start no later than 2019 equivalent to 1939.

In England still an island the death throes will arrive later, the English being unable to be too beastly to their own poor and immigrants. Perhaps.

The BNP British Nationalist Party has no industrial backing as Hitler had, its higher echelons and party members being disenfranchised technicians and engineers. These right wing parties in England are doomed to fail because democracy cannot feed and employ people only DICTATORSHIP can do this.

There is no mechanism to back the party. Industry cannot openly back a fascist or racist party. The BNP (not Bank Paribas) will have trouble attracting members or support from ethnic minorities even though these groups are important to the English economy. Repatriation is impossible. Population pressure is too great. Who ever is in England now should stay. Gainful employment for the local English in their own country must be found. As stated clearly here before: Cultures and Communities who know and trust each other must trade in blocks locally with each other, Europe with America but not with China (or India). The Chinese top echelon psyche is too simple and cruel. England will never prosper as a Chinese or Indian colony. Flights to England from India and China have grown exponentially in the recent decade with Asian enterprise ignoring European Law, Minimum Wages, Building Regulations and Safety. They expect their employees to be Indian and working as on the Bede Industrial Estate, Jarrow without rights and for less than 3 dollars an hour. It has long been clear the British Passport Office has been dominated by Foreigners particularly Indians. The flights are populated by cutting edge Chinese IT graduates and Asian Businessmen.

English people who have migrated to UKIP and BNP are near exclusively working class and are the opposite to the Conservatives up north as in Radcliffe who seem to be Boy Scouts. The Boy Scouts sneer at unemployment and poverty. It is clear left to the the mercy of the grown up Boy Scouts (still wearing shorts and a neckerchief) the working English tribe would perish by merely being ignored. A cold shoulder being shown and backs turned. Radcliffe was one of Richard III's team along with Tyrell and A.N. Other who spoke no evil, saw no evil, heard no evil.

If the British Conservatives got in to power in England no one knows what they would do. They have not said.

Hylton

Under the basic principles of the cosmos the world should be created, be used and then destroyed only to be created again. In Jarrow this would be the Register of Births, Deaths and Marriages on Bede Burn Road.

"We Unite To Assist Each Other". Durham Miners Banner
The colliery, a tangible focal point, a physical focus of unity often in an isolated village.

Everyman
Everyman, late-15th-century English morality play. It is the counterpart of the Dutch play Elckerlijk; which of these anonymous plays is the original has been the subject of controversy. When Everyman is summoned by Death, he can persuade none of his friends—Beauty, Kindred, Worldly Goods—to go with him, except Good Deeds.

Whitburn

For men born in the 1950s the landscape of North East England has changed so dramatically perhaps it will change again. The bowsers line penetrated via Kibblesworth and Sunnyside into The North Durham Hills. There is an active steam train beyond Kibbleworth. Even now there is some derelict land. Cycle here from Jarrow via Hebburn and return via Prudoe and Scotswood to North Shields. If arriving from Scandanavia try the Tyne Pedestrian Tunnel from Howden on the Wallsend north side. Coal could be extracted from under the north sea with technology not quite available yet. This would be a resurrection. Optically as in Boldon Colliery landscape change has biblical overtones. There is nothing quite like seeing young miners naked from the waist as far as the miners helmet and encrusted lamp leaving the Saturday shift in a blazing June in 1964. Even now and in the future in Nottinghamshire and elsewhere the coal working stock look very strong and extracting coal is a young man's game not for auld gadgees.
