Ive been exiled from Geordieland for 55 years and its still my home. Love you Newcastle, love all you Geordies 💕

[@paulallan1000]

You're not missing nowt. City completely wrecked now a student city. People totally different even the Geordie accent is hardly heard anymore. This generation have totally abandoned their roots and haven't got a clue how great this city once was.

Home 2 our heartless Council destroyed communities by bulldozing often good housing that may have needed some repair that was very feasible. These homes were ALWAYS labelled slums so that whole districts could be flattened including little family run shops.This vandalism destroyed close knit communities .Of course they got away with it

[@home2624]

@@johndean4765 Its shocking how a handful of people in a council can devastate whole communities with their own short sighted stupidity. Who keeps electing these morons.

Absolutely brilliant ! Brought back tons of happy memories of when Tyneside was alive. T. Dan Smith ripped the heart of the City out. Try and listen to ' Dan the Plan ' by the late genius Alan Hull.

Hi Jenny

[@johndean4765]

Destroying so many of the terraced streets shops and pubs was an evil thing to do as it split up close knit communities.. and they then replaced those streets with ugly 1960s buildings that are soul destroying. Same thing happened to London.

[@Senna-xi1gr]

Brilliant 👍🇬🇧

[@TheWacoKid1963]

Bobby Thompson was a Mackem, born in bloody Washington, ya kna, that place where the durty Wear runs through

[@davidrobinson2776]

I was born in the Princess Mary Hospital on City Road in the centre of Newcastle in 1969 and I've never left. The city has changed but not as much as the people. And no, it's not immigration. It's the amount of snobs and kids who have no respect. I still live in a council house but the once lovely area is now like Bogota. As a young lad, nobody cared if you were skint, if your garden was a bit untidy or whether you were in work or had a car etc. Now it's like our neighbours are strangers, the youngsters never play outside, the teenagers all smoke weed and the elderly are scared. The people my age seem like privileged snobs with there only source of entertainment being fake tan, teeth from Turkey and Facebook gossip.

Is there no archive footage of ships being launched in Wallsend? All you ever see is some titled posh layabout who's never done a day's work smashing a bottle against the hull.

Yes he missed the point it was the shipyards and the miners, and their night out was a night at the greyhound track with more people than at a football

John Fenny the successive governments decided to betray the people of the UK and really want to see the destruction of the British way of life and this is happening in every city town in Britain. Even in the 1980s we never felt like a foreigner in our own country.Its all been planned to destroy British way of life and culture force rents and house prices sky high and create division the divide and rule is part of the evil plan.

[@seansmith445]

Newcastle was one of the last cities to be "diversified". Now it's rapidly going the same way as London Birmingham Leicester and Bradford. Sad and depressing.

The Bridges of the Tyne. Or any place cannot compare to that bridge constructed by Jesus 3 nails 2 beams and Hid efficacious blood! He bears the sin of the whole of fallen humanity! And His grace is still available, to save you from the fate worse than death! Hell is never satisfied nor the eyes seeing Have a propa ganda at what His once for all sacrifice means Rescued from a world increasingly like the Days of Noah, the Days of Lot! So we share how amazingly patient God is. Your freewill is sacred. Choose abundant life and be reconciled to God. You know it makes more sense than gaining the whole world and losing your soul to Satan's control! Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth
