Chicago via Aberdeen and Roman Road, Jarrow

Nathan Freudenthal Leopold, Jr. and Richard Albert Loeb were two Wealthy Jews who murdered Bobbo Franks, a 14 year old boy in Chicago in 1924, to commit The Perfect Crime and demonstrate The Uebermensch Principle. Alfred Hitchcock's film Rope where real or cinematic homo eroticism is displayed overtly between the the two leading characters is overt.

Chicago, Homosexuality, Judaism, Nazism and Murder are linked albeit very tenuously with England and Unemployment when James Stewart as Rupert Cadell says 'murder could conquer unemployment and poverty'. (tbc)

Baden Powell's Scouting for Boys the innuendo laden title of the Boy Scouts Manual the Edwardian style of prose of the publication glibly refers to Killing the Unemployed. Robert Stephenson Smyth Baden-Powell Baden says they might be a 'Model community, for they respect their Queen, and kill their unemployed'



In Jarrow c1975 there were no known enclaves of homosexuality only vague rumour links to 'liberal' and 'politician'.

Obviously, all sexual persuasions under the law are almost nearly now equal.

In Aberdeen in c1980 Grampian TV Continuity Announcer from Leeds's catch phrase was 'Ginger Peachy', the main unusual phrase in the film Rope not voiced by John Dall the main character whose fascinating portrayal of an upper class gay man easy to admire and empathise with, but by the young female debutant Joan Chandler playing Janet Walker.

The point is, its as well to remember the polar social origins of English politics even though it may be boring to Vote Labour in Jarrow, and people may not appear what they seem, it would be foolhardy to Vote for the Tories or BNP in Jarrow.

Wandsworth to Jarrow via Manchester

As seen from Bede Trading Estate, Brockley Whins, is a low hilly rise on the horizon and means hill cliff of badgers.

Streets in the western half of Brockley Whins estate have Scottish place names and those in the eastern half have Australian ones. Which avenue runs down the middle?

Brockley Whinns station is believed to be haunted by a stable boy supposedly murdered there in the early 17th century.

Nearby Boldon Colliery became 'The Pyrotechnic World Centre' when a whole street wqas set in flames by its own (youth) residents. One was heard saying, 'Am daft me, a divvint kna nowt'.

In 1984 a student living in Boldon Colliery, was found to have built up a Bomb Factory.

Arndale Centres are in Manchester, Wandsworth and Jarrow, jaded symbols of 1960's prosperity. Now Morrison's dominates Jarrow's Arndale Centre. Whilst Jarrow has disapeared as just another fragmented town, untold volumes of Jarrow History remain in the memories of Our Ancestors who lived in Jarrow when it was called 'The Town That Died'.

Many of the Older Generation in Jarrow love Morrison's because it's a One Stop Shop and they can meet their friends in Morrison's Cafe in Jarrow. The Fishmongers, Butchers and Bakers Street within Morrison's is so realistic many shoppers think they are back in 1933.

'Jarrow is Tops' for: Reactionary Irish Catholics, Car Parks, Shopping, Big Skys, A Beautiful Deadly Quiet, Wonderful Council Estates (built circa 1953), South Tynside Council (Best in UK), Probably the Best People in the World, The Best Accent (South Shields, Tyne Dock and Jarrow), Teenage Unemployment, Teenage Pregnancy, Teenage Alcoholism, saying 'A Divint Na', Haunted Brockly Whins Metro, Awful Metro Station Design and Extended Familes On The Dole.

Remedies for the above are:-
1. Direct Labour
2. Build A Workhouse
3. Drive On Container Ships Full of Food
4. De-Ghettoise Poor Areas
5. Promote blackberry picking, fishing and allotment cultivation on derelict parks and open spaces
6. Build A Bicycle Factory employing Young Engineers and Local Young Lads.
7. Create a Lido
8. Public Works
9. Build a Workhouse for Directed Old Labour
10. Promote cycling and organic nutrition, build a high speed train to London

It’s a Numbers Game though, (too many Post-Industrial Poor) and Central Government wants to stop The Regions shinning outside London.

York Avenue

Jarrow, until York Avenue was built celebrating the lauch of HMS York in 1936, ended at Bede Burn Road. After dereliction in the 1980's Valley View Park is as idylic nearly as it was when tennis was played over from the Bede Gallery, across Butcher's Bridge Road. The old lake is still shown on land use maps. The burn rises in the foothills towards White Mare Pool. Valley View was most sublime in 1964 and 1974.

Water, energy and food. Food, clothes and shelter. Workhouse, Soup Kitchen and Bicycle Factory. The constant of Sea Level around The UK over 6000 years. Existing and surviving within a very very small diurnal and anual temperature range. This thought sparked in my mind the first day of spring 1995 running down Frankfurter Allee, East Berlin eastwards.

On a more earthly note the British Government Chief Scientist has realised We Are Doomed and England will have to Grow Its Own Food like in World War Two.

Collective Allotments are the best where selfishness is purged and already in Bovey Tracey, Devon a English Heritage/National Trust derelict garden is being revived.

This time because of Ruth in The Archers being from Northumberland Geordies can work in the Posh Gardens too. What a rural idyl this Dartmoor Garden. It will have derelict walls with pointless romantic gates and stuccoed capped walls with ivy.

The main tasks are rescue the orchard with a cythe. Pick and store the apples and blackberries.

The thorn bushes grow in the absence of cultivation, encroaching on the small enclosure within a year. The barbs are surprisingly pernicious, lets say, for such a mild country. Their design is to rip in both directions and one needs a machete. A helicopter would be handy, what with all these people and you could land on a lawn in the Mendips.

The bindweeds grow so fast you can see them crossing the allotments like Trifids.
