I watch this going on around me (not to far from you) at a hell of a pace. Houses flying up everywhere by the thousand on brown belt, green belt farmland, school playing fields and even suburban Parkland, they don't give a fuck. Not long since, despite huge protest, they demolished our town centre, maybe 25 shops, 2 pubs, Social Club, and bingo hall. All replaced by one enormous Tesco extra. I can imagine the pleasure it brought the progressive councillors thinking, "like it or lump it this is what your getting"
You're right Newcastle has gone & it's fucking soul destroying the only chance it will ever have to turn around is if a killer flu breaks out & looking at the recent cases of halal shit holes that have been prosecuted for being a biological hazards a serious disease could break out at any given time. It's not just white flight, it's also the pandemic of violent crime in & around Newcastle the place is full of knuckle draggers & there are murders all the time I don't even like walking through the city centre these days because it is now an overcrowded shit hole, roads are shut off because of council gimmicks (NE1), there far to many students doing non subjects, aggressive junkies everywhere, shops closing down all the time because of rates etc. Most of the property is owned by rich bastards from London who live abroad another problem is the economy has favoured buy to let instead of buy to live in since the 1960's & it's this usury that no one talks about.
I only got 15 minutes into your livestream with the two coward, hipocrites ( living in SEA) and it was gone . They didn't seem to have the faculty ( or inclination ?) to admit their own cowardice or hipocracy.
Notice how the developers ironically name the streets on these estates 'Chestnut Drive' or 'Willow Close' etc celebrating those natural features that used to stand there but were bulldozed over to make them a profit.
They build on a field and call the road Farm view, and a decade later they build on the farm but don't have the honesty to rename the road "Council Estate View".
I think it's to make the old locals feel better and the incomers feel as though they are buying into country. This naming style has been commonplace since the 60s.
That's pretty unfair. People live in houses... You know, English people. We need somewhere to live. Autistically shrieking about the existence of houses is dumb.
@@herewardthewake5433 you do get somewhere to live: if you're English, cardboard boxes, if you're "refugees", council houses. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-T41lQjWotgI.html
Same in the South West. All the surrounding small towns around Swindon are getting these endless estates thrown up all around them. Its fucking hideous.
Aye i live in one of those villages or used to be a village more like a small town now with the usuall chain of shops this is the beginning of the flood of migrants into north tyneside which was barely touched until now
The immigrant Boris is going to get tough on immigration. Like a tiger ! They've been getting tough on immigration for decades . Me best mucker neighbour Mohad agrees with me , nice chap , a little misunderstood but altogether an alright kinda guy. The dinner parties we have. It's a gas.
Remember old coast road being through fields and open countryside, now filled with new housing developments. Very odd as population of north east has barely increased over last few decades
Same thing happening here in the USA. Endless new migration, which results in endless new building. In many locations now, you can drive in any direction for three hours and still be in suburban sprawl. They are paving over good farmland at a hideous pace.
Sgt Steel - yes, it has. It was ever thus, as far back as I go. It has accelerated, of course. Little boxes on the hillside and they’re all made up of ticky-tacky.
Sure. You're raised watching David Attenborough specials about how vulnerable the planet is, but watch out for the sneers if you object to the destruction. Careful what you notice!
Your description of the atomized lives of these people reminded of this: "They are born, put in a box; they go home to live in a box; they study by ticking boxes; they go to what is called "work" in a box, where they sit in their cubicle box; they drive to the grocery store in a box to buy food in a box; they talk about thinking "outside the box"; and when they die they are put in a box." - Nassim Taleb
All the fields where I live in Dublin are being developed and turned into housing estates too. It’s very sad to see, especially when you know that the population growth causing this urban sprawl is entirely the result of mass immigration.
So do I. What I really object to is how this land is being hoarded and its supply controlled to keep house prices high. Land in Dublin was the most expensive in the world and is still too expensive.
The Irish miracle will become the African/syrian/Romainian one too. And dont forget so many wont integrate ,it takes generations and by then they will have created a new Ireland one you wont recognise . Just like a tourist destination Irelands unique identity will be boiled down to selling Guinness and a few sad Irish pubs often owned by English in the past now owned by conglomerates. Its then you realise you have become a brand and whatever culture you once had has evaporated , you are the tourist attraction the old guy in the corner they want a photo with but everything that gave you your identity is gone and so will be the Ireland you knew.
@@folksurvival personally it's the only thing I want for them to do ( and work hard) .Of course I would prefer much lower levels of immigration to give that integration time to hold but I dont think that's the political master plan.
Big multinational companies are dictating to our government the numbers of people they want and need to fill their new warehouses and office blocks. They expand because they have the money to expand but then, there's no quality of life, because all the people they bring in are completely unlike us. They are not British by blood, which matters! Then they build more homes because there isn't enough for the wants of all these extra workers, but the quality of life just dies. They don't give a toss about the high suicide rate because people are now just a commodity, just like if they get rid of you in your old job, they can simply replace the used up people who made this country. These elite don't have to even live in the UK, it can just be used as a big plantation for building their empire and filling their pockets. Eventually they will just make it one big slab, and there will be no green space. We have to go after these companies and our government and tell them to reverse these big areas. People need green space around them. What about health and fitness? Maybe Not everyone wants to run around pavements from one street if cloned homes to the next. That's also another thing. These homes have no personality whatsoever. As we advance into the future you would expect a better quality of wellbeing, to see beautiful areas of refurbished towns where it's needed but this is soulless, and that's what people are experiencing now every day, a deep dark cavern of nothing, no children, no natural beauty around them. No where to socialize... All we need according to our masters to exist is, low wage jobs, GMO food, Netflix and porn.
MakeRealityGreatAgain Totally agree we are just becoming atomised consumers and our heritage has been slowly stolen from us in our Dystopian Shadow society
I'm a plumber in Reading . At the start of next year i'm taking part in putting 952 showers in 952 brand new apartments. EVERY single apartment is ONE bedroom. The showers are well posh , will have jets that squirt water up your butt, BUT don't even think of starting a family in one of these 'kennels' . Whole town is turning into having these expensive worker boxes everywhere.
The main reason I am a nationalist and against multiculturalism and immigration isn't because of flag waving, rule Britannia bollocks but because of my blood and soul connection to the land of this great island. Land = race = culture = heritage. The concreting of the English countryside makes me want to cry. F economic growth.
I live in north tyneside, just south of cramlington, all the fields are disappearing every year, the houses they erect are not cheap, no one local knows anyone who has moved into the new homes, very stange feeling. Literally nothing we can do, as a child i remember running through the fields (yes, of wheat) and playing with friends and now they're replaced with ugly looking houses that are clones of each other. You no longer hear the birds singing their songs as much, or see the foxes on the evening, cant walk the dogs without walking half a mile on concrete first, traffic has increased to the point in which at 4-5pm you'll be lucky if you can cross the road without waiting minimun 5 minutes, the lush greenery i remember is being replaced, no one in the area can afford these homes, so i'm guessing their rich southerners fleeing london or thereabouts, i have noticed a lot more southern accents. Shame, i didnt mind living in a village, you don't have everything the city has but you had peace and quite, and a lovely view.
a lot of those "rich southerners fleeing london" are not real londoners, they're from villages and towns around britain; and they're not rich either, they just overdo the received pronunciation to make it seem that way. also, they're the very ones who fought for diversity in london. i'm a londoner born and bred, and most of my family and friends have left here for the home counties, not up north; we real southerners have an attachment to this part of the island. the plastic types you've got coming to you will do what they tried to do to us: freeze you out in your own territory; be more "up north" than the real ones, and be more "londoner" than the real ones, all at the same time (lol); welcome the diversity and put the locals down for not wanting it. and when london happens up there, they'll move on to somewhere else like a load of locusts. good luck
"Us southern's"...as you phrase it, are the very least of your troubles mate!...we, the indigenous people's of these lands are facing a very real threat, the one that has been pushed throughout our history. Don't let "them" keep on dividing us for their Evil agenda!
@@guystark6600 "The tyrant loves the foreigner, and seeks to humble his own people" - Aristotle. I understand you, real shame what's happening, i don't so much mind 'white flight', is annoying to compete with more workers but if they're english then fair game and fair play, gets too much tho when you add preti patel's immigration points system, get more points if they move in the north, this will just make northerners more furious we genuinely wont be able to deal with immigration and white flight at the same time our cities arent that big, we prefer nature, always have and always will but even thats being taken away from us.
I have 2700 new houses being built on the edge of the village I live in , no extra schools , no extra doctors surgery and an mp who welcomes this but champions sustainable food sources as well
mine built 1800 on one side, doctors, school and tescos on the other. 1 tiny road in between. takes 20-30 mins to travel across 1/2 mile now. and have people queing outside the village pharmacy at 08.45 for the methadone.
Its absolutely sickening to see. My favourite place in Newcastle is the rising sun country park. Its excellent for bird watching, walking, and my personal favourite apple raiding with my bairns. The views have been completely ruined by the ugly new build houses. There is absolutely hundreds of acres of wasteland in Wallsend and the council decided to dig up a fucking farm along with a load of my favourite apple trees.
Same in Glasgow, it's easier to build on parks and greenbelt than deal with brownfields and the council seem to be willing to sell them too - probably in return for a few drinks/holidays/wad of cash. They literally paved over some of a park for a restaurant + car park. There's (nearly) a song about that.
There's no local pub, no church, no play areas for kids, be lucky to even get a corner shop in walking distance. All atomised, each house just a worker unit isolated from their neighbours. Such a sad state of affairs this country is in
Same things happening where i am in Essex. My quiet little town on the edges of the countryside. Is turning into a inner city nightmare. With higher crime & homeless people & we never saw or had homeless people before. People i grew up with are getting out. This is being done on purpose.
Of course it's being done on purpose. It's an ongoing genocide and they will not stop until they have wiped out the native European populations where ever they currently exist in the world.
unlockthepower i think you credit them with more intelligence than they deserve. This is a bunch of usefull idiots with nothing but greed in their eyes. Add to that they don’t give a fuck about anyone on the downside if their greed. They are under the impression this is gonna last forever & nothing will change & what with whats been going over the last 20-30yrs can you blame them? Who’s gonna stop ‘them’ you?
I would rather go back to growing my own vegetables in my back garden and darning my socks and jumpers like we did 50 years ago and forgo this supposed 'growth' and 'economy'.
I was only born in 1997, I wished I could have lived as you described, I wish I could have that life. I fear for my future, I hate how it is now. How will it be as I get older?
Forza Blankito The use of Churches is clearly them shoving their conquest in your face. Shameless. I wonder how they’d react in the reverse. Very peacefully, I’m sure 😈
Morgoth Northern Ireland is still like Newcastle 150 years ago small towns and villages were everyone knows everyone else. Maybe that why we are seeing more and more English Scottish and Republic of Ireland folk moving here .
You can't "white flight" the problem away. As an American, I've seen California's urban liberal disfunction spill over into neighboring states to eventually collapse them as well.
@@fakename965 Well i think alot of people are of the same thought right now, there is always Angola i spose, or stay put and start building an Anderson Shelter.
The BBC today , 'the greatest growth in house price rises in the next ten years will be in the north east ' . Guess how rich people from the south will get their next line of slaves ? Quite simply through economics , the wealthier southerners will buy up housing and rent it out to poorer northerners, fuelled by London rents and rises in house prices fuelled by millions of equally poor immigrants , however they dont remain poor forever and so those that came here with nothing end up owning by collective pooling of mortgages and family wealth whole swathes of poorer areas . You might applaud this but I see my children born in this country soon to be either beholden to the banks or to landlords who see them as merely a cash cow .I of course pre Tony Blair and his massive push for mass immigration have done reasonably well, my children however have become 40 year mortgage slaves at best , at worst foreigners have become their lords and we have not only become economically poorer but our communities have been destroyed our culture trashed and like desperate rats trying to escape the fuhrer's bunker we see all our corrupt dreams have become our nightmare reality as the enemy closes in.
"The BBC today , 'the greatest growth in house price rises in the next ten years will be in the north east ' ." That isn't going to happen. Prices will fall in the NE because immigrants don't want to live in these houses. There will be an oversupply of housing, if there isn't already in the NE
@@rareads I am afraid you are fighting the inevitable , and of course what better way to de northify this ethnic group that give it a thorough mixing , just like London.
Same deal in Cumbria. I took one of the council bugmen at a supermarket stand to task about it, telling him he's selling his heritage. He was nonplussed. See my avatar for his expression
The same thing happens in America. I'm from a small town, heavily in agriculture areas, but new block housing for immigrants from Mexico are put up yearly. Our fields are disappearing rapidly, there's too many people for the infrastructure, and our small towns are starting to grow into each other. It's sad, and honestly, it doesn't feel like home anymore.
I wonder if those houses will be flooded? Wonder why houses in England keep flooding, anyway let's just keep importing more people and building more houses.
Because EU legislation prevents us from dredging rivers. Apparently we need to keep them “wild” not clean and clear of obstructions. Felling what little forests we have left and building on flood plains and “reclaimed” marshland don’t help either.
Morgeth, I have lived in England all my life as have my family for generations, my father was from Newcastle. I also have multiple successful businesses and have done very well out of this system. The last 2 years I’ve had a lot of time on my hands so have actually taken interest in what is going on in the world and most of all this country. We are going to be totally screwed if the English people don’t get a grip quickly, this won’t affect me in the slightest, I have property over seas in several places. We the people have got to set our own parliament up, this will organically crush the old system, it’s the same mind set as a child creating his own game as the rest of the kids won’t let him join in, what happens..? The other kids end up joining his game...? People this is not hard, someone just has to take the lead 👏🏻💪
Hi Martin. A "new parliament" is an interesting idea... I have a simple solution to the problems we're facing, and it's a lot like that, but different... All the problems of the west boil down to one root cause: Govt unaccountability. They've engineered the system to allow the elites to make laws the people do not agree with. The people's right to refuse bad law, like they might return a bad pizza, is all that's missing. The mechanism to do this already exists in common-law. It just needs to be remembered. If you're interested, I'll elaborate. Basically: If the people could hold govt to account - in a real & practical sense - there would be no corruption.
@****** It's Grand Jury. A GJ has the right to: - investigate any allegation of wrongdoing, the same as police detectives have. & hence collect any & all evidence relating to an allegation. - indict (i.e. send to trial) the case, if the majority vote (50%) a trial is required. So GJ says: "A decision in law needs to be made about X" Petit Jury ( A court trial) has the right to then make the legal decision the GJ said was needed. But they have to all agree - with unanimity (100%) It's the unanimity which gives it the force of law... (Which is why voting is a fraud, btw) What this means is - with GJ - people can lawfully require a jury trial of either individual wrongdoing OR - it can also send statute-law back for judicial review. I.e. A GJ could review (eg) the "hate-speech" laws, or immigration policy, and legally require a judicial review of it. If the judges acted in bad faith, and did not review the evidence fairly, a GJ could then send them personally to trial for various common-law offences (eg contempt of court, misconduct, etc) Under CL, the jury judges by morality - the unwritten law. Thus they have the right to judge the morality of govt, or it's actions. So the GJ is not bound by written law, the jury judges on what is right / wrong. Not what is legal / illegal. Hope that made sense.
@****** My pleasure. Thx 4 taking an interest. Any citizen with a grievance can make a complaint. The GJ is just a "council of elders", and can be convened however people feel is best. (I'd call it "citizen's inquiry", not GJ, as a nice rebranding... :) ALL the business of the GJ must be published post judgement, as all CL courts must be courts of record - i.e. fully open. I'd like to see a website for it, with all the proceedings included, anyone able to join any GJ (the more the merrier). It'd be the most interesting website on the 'net.... I reckon. (You have to take an oath to join a GJ, and if you act in bad faith are liable for perjury etc, note.) So - as I said - I'd call it "citizen's inquiry" - because it's more descriptive. And the idea is to allow citizens to set up inquiries into any & all govt business...
@White Wolf Yes. GJ was abandoned in UK & replaced with the "Crown Prosecution Service" which has taken the power to indict. But we did used to have it, and it's still a lawful mechanism. Common-law can't be overruled by statute because it's our founding constitution. (But they do like to pretend it can be...) GJ is the natural mechanism for investigating any wrongdoing. There isn't really any other way to do it... Just like the only mechanism for gaining consent is via CL contract. There is no other way (that's actually lawful)...
Your mention of white flight struck an accord with me. I have lived and worked in North Tyneside for 62 years,25 of these years working for British Telecom, repairing and installing residential/business customers. My latter time there,I came across many different accents from areas as far as Hampshire,Kent and even the Home Counties moving to my county, an occurrence unheard of in the 1970,s to 1990,s. Before retiring, I worked for the local NHS general hospital, again coming across many unfamiliar tones, so out of curiosity, I asked some of the maintenance guys with Black Country/Midlands dialects why move up to a perceived poorer area with so-called lack of opportunities and bleak futures. All mentioned the same reason, to bring up their families in communities that follow the same culture,values and Language that they had been brought up on.
Too upsetting.... I can't bare to listen. We have to respect everyone else's culture and land..... apart from our own. Imagine going on holiday to China.... and you found Beijing full of Italians. How is that right?
Sadly, it is happening in japan too. And it will be decades more u TIL finally conservatives will ask themselves if money is worth it. The modern world is nasty.
I live in Texas, the neighborhood where I grew up bordered on an enormous pine forest. Behind the backyard fence, across a ditch, was a wood probably 300 yards deep. You couldn't see through it. And in my youth a highway was built behind it, cutting it down into a wedge of trees such that the highway cuts into the neighborhood. The houses that used to be at the end of the Street where my childhood home still stands were torn down decades ago. A few years back I moved out of the Houston area to a smaller town outside of it, and I rent a place among cow pastures out of sight of the highway into Houston. Well after I moved here the highway was expanded, from a couple of two lane roads with trees between them to a limited access toll road with overpasses at the intersection where the roads from our neighborhood connect to that highway. I will be moving again, in no more than a year and a half, and I'll be looking for a place further from the urban centers.
Best video yet in my opinion. I want to be closer to nature with a small community. At this rate neither of those things will be possible and it boils my blood to think that I don’t get to vote what happens to the land and my people. This needs to be overturned at any cost if we want the future to be any good.
MORGOTH: This is not just happening on Tyneside. You should see rural Somerset! As you correctly surmise, there is an element of 'white flight' to this phenomenon: or, more accurately, the indigenous ENGLISH are quitting their own major cities, because of what they have been turned into by our entire Political Class, and are fleeing to the more rural areas. This does not bode well for the future: in terms of assimilation. The problem is that - instead of defending OUR culture and values - our 'politically correct' Politicians, the BBC, and the Police, have 'prioritised' the WANTS of immigrants: especially of the Islamic variety! They FAILED the 'acid test' of the Rushdie Affair; and they have continued to kow-tow to this monstrous 'philosophy-of-cruelty' ever since. They have inflicted its demands for un-stunned slaughter on the meat served to British schoolchildren: just in case there is a single 'Muslim' child in the class (I would question whether a child can be a 'Muslim', or a 'Christian', or a Jehovah's Witness: and English Law used to agree with me).
I'm in outer London, south east and there is a lot of mid rised boxy flats going up. Many developments seem to be designed by the same company. I should look in to it really.
I was watching the news at work. For some reason they see it as part of their job to advertise the new Christmas advertisements of big super stores. I even heard my Gran say 'I can't wait to see the new John Lewis Christmas advert.' I hate it. It's so obviously gross and manipulative. What would we gain from a Morgoth review of Christmas with John Lewis? Why is everyone so brainwashed? Why are you still watching television?
MrCool Mug what? I haven't watched television for years, but saw Morgoth and some others float the idea on twitter. Morgoth has already shared some adverts with brief commentary. Do you not find what normies are being force fed interesting? I completely understand your disgust, of course.
Work, then consume products while watching propaganda and brain numbing TV, before you go to sleep to repeat the same routine the next day, and the next day, and...
@@megadesu69 The only reason I'm still breathing is because I believe there's hope and possibilities to turn this around. Never surrender, and never give in to despair.
In the US we call these "bedroom communities". It's upscale apartments and housing which ppl flee to after work. They often have a cookie cutter appearance no matter how much the developer attempts to give them character. Often it's a young, single person who drives their nice car to their nice house....which has nothing in it but a huge tv. In the US we call that condition being "house poor". It's tragic to see this happening to you.
They're going to build tunnels for the Badgers to travel from one housing estate to the one across the road. I live on the south coast, below the downs. When I got here in 2006 there were fields between this town and the next. All gone now. All the little villages expanded with new builds so that one blends into another. It's horrific.
This is sad, but this is happening in my neck of the woods too. I have lived in Western Australia for 26 years coming from Kent, 16 years ago we bought 11 acres of land in rural town of Mundijong (village really) where we built our dream house and started a family. Around 7 years after the local council (Serpentine & Jarrahdale) decided to turn ours and our neighbours properties into a light industrial estate including realignment of a railway and freight terminal through our land. There is no need for this except for the greed of the local councils. Happy to send any info if your interested. Cheers
People I know moan about heavy traffic all the time and all the housing estates going up around here in Cambridgeshire and yet say we need more immigration and I’m flabbergasted when they don’t register this means higher population =more homes cars on roads etc.. It’s infuriating😖
I can't bring myself to watch this.... and every time my travels take me to the edges of my city I despair at the disappearing bushland; replaced by a sea of glaring silver roofing on identical brick boxes all placed cheek by jowl with what I know is a tiny square of planted turf to cover the last remnant of the destroyed land.
I 've also noticed that almost all these new builds,all have tiny gardens and the houses are crammed as close to each other as possible with no breathing space. Even these new estates paths and roads seem to be narrower. Like you say Morgoth, they are terrible soulless places.
Exactly the same in Australia, it's awful and depressing. I live in a small coastal village, now hotly in demand by white flighters fleeing the nightmare of the cities. But they bring the city attitude with them and the sense of community is fast disappearing too.
The same thing happens down south in Norfolk where I live. Most of the new houses built on our beautiful greenbelt sites are for Londoners running from London, and yet they still bring their horrific London politics to our deeply conservative Norfolk communities. They are also eroding the regional identity of Norfolk massively, to the point that the regional dialect is becoming incredibly rare, and is only found deep in the rural areas.
Even though I have never been there when I think of England I always imagine beautiful green fields or forests with creeks throughout. I imagine old stone castles sitting atop a hill somewhere. I really hate to see that go.
My family traces the expansion of Liverpool into green spaces. Nan was born in city centre in what is now university accommodation, her kids born in council developments miles out, my generation born in suburbs built over once small independent towns now practically incorporated into Liverpool itself. Now constant new developments going up around my childhood home despite constant complaints at local council meetings etc. Won't be long until Liverpool and Manchester meet to create one megacity
Devon has a massive new build ‘Cranbrook’ that’s already known as “Crimebrook”. Car insurance costs double there because of the crime. The giant project was promoted as nice little houses for young families. Farmers got £1000,000 per acre from developers. One old guy got seventy million quid for his fields. Great for him. We now find it’s not local young couples moving in. Houses are being sold in bundles of hundreds at a time to big city councils from other parts of the country like Liverpool, Sheffield, Birmingham etc. Great for these councils, they can offload problem tenants and the worst families out of their sink estates into a faraway annexe. Not so great for Devon. Prime productive agricultural land lost forever, replaced with shitty grade housing, and it is shitty, a woman was telling me how her employer builds shockingly bad structures to ruthlessly maximise profits. Great for the company. In the same way that the Forestry Commission plant a fringe of lovely native broadleaf trees around their dense conifer plantations, from the main road past Crimebrook you see reassuringly nice houses in a variety of architectural styles, colours and materials. Behind this skin of decency is where the profits are really made, endless streets of banal featureless uniformity, a truly modern hellscape, an obscenity.
These spaces are my sanctuary... we were asked (where I live) and our opinions ignored anyway. Subsidance will be an issue ... the fields are veined with old pits.
Yikes... what happens if for any reason the food import stops, when all the local farms are replaced with concrete and houses? It should be common sense that having more people in one place than the corresponding amount of food that can be provided locally, is a terrible idea.
I'm sure this is part of the plan. Running out of food nearly did for us during the Napoleonic wars and WW1. For a nation to survive, it must be self-sufficient in food and energy supplies. Mass immigration and the loss of farmland is destroying the former and the Global Change hysteria is destroying the latter. A long-term objective of the globalists is complete control of the world's food and energy supply. Think Monsanto and the neo-cons' ' 7 countries in 5 years' revealed by Wesley Clark. Those who really understand climate change know about the Grand Solar Minimum and the shift in the magnetic poles. I heard that N.Africa could become a bread basket. Be a good wheeze to move the inhabitants to Europe so the agri-industries could move in. Why is the EU, the Chinese and the Russians suddenly interested in the Sahel region of Africa?
Personally my fam and I are looking to white flight. Looking at maps and seeing farm land everywhere isn't much better. Where are the forests gone? I know this is nothing new but fields aren't that cute really
Well...."dieversity" is our strength, so why not make more room!....Be damed with the carbon footprint....oh the irony!! 🎶🎶"Aaaaand if you tolerate this then your children will be next"🎶🎶
Exactly the same thing is happening in Cheshire, where I live. All the green spaces near the motorway turn-offs are being crammed with new-builds. The feeling I get is that it's more white-flight here than anything else. Manchester is absolutely stuffed and the people who can afford it are in full retreat!
It is inevitable that one day the occupants of all of these houses will realise that there is no land left for cultivation and consequently, no crops. It is then that they shall start to eat each other. Dark times are coming.
Listening to this I'm reminded of the planet in Star Wars that was just one giant, endless city. And wondering what kind of hellish lives the people of that planet led.
Where beasts drew in number, and every plant your father knew, paved flat for malls and suburbs, fields bare and few. Where birds once sung and breeze once gently blew, the sound of rushing metal, rubber, and glass, and behind it ghastly fumes. Where Irish families worked, lived, loved, and played, welcome instead the endless brown strangers who murder, fight, and rape.
I’m in LA. Very crowded and massive building g of high rise apartments everywhere. Atomized , yes. So many people so close all the time , one retreats into themself to maintain sanity.
This poem, written by Phillip Larkin in the early 60s, says it all - and yet how much worse has it become since! How much worse will we let it become before standing up and saying ' enough!' I think the time is fast approaching. Brexit is only the beginning. - No more net immigration! GOING, GOING, I thought it would last my time- The sense that, beyond the town, There would always be fields and farms, Where the village louts could climb Such trees as were not cut down; I knew there’d be false alarms In the papers about old streets And split level shopping, but some Have always been left so far; And when the old part retreats As the bleak high-risers come We can always escape in the car. Things are tougher than we are, just As earth will always respond However we mess it about; Chuck filth in the sea, if you must: The tides will be clean beyond. -But what do I feel now? Doubt? Or age, simply? The crowd Is young in the M1 cafe; Their kids are screaming for more- More houses, more parking allowed, More caravan sites, more pay. On the Business Page, a score Of spectacled grins approve Some takeover bid that entails Five per cent profit (and ten Per cent more in the estuaries): move Your works to the unspoilt dales (Grey area grants)! And when You try to get near the sea In summer . . . It seems, just now, To be happening so very fast; Despite all the land left free For the first time I feel somehow That it isn’t going to last, That before I snuff it, the whole Boiling will be bricked in Except for the tourist parts- First slum of Europe: a role It won’t be hard to win, With a cast of crooks and tarts. And that will be England gone, The shadows, the meadows, the lanes, The guildhalls, the carved choirs. There’ll be books; it will linger on In galleries; but all that remains For us will be concrete and tyres. Most things are never meant. This won’t be, most likely; but greeds And garbage are too thick-strewn To be swept up now, or invent Excuses that make them all needs. I just think it will happen, soon.
So the world will end in 11 years if we don't reduce our expensive carbon footprint! So import more people to the expensive west. The cost of one family moving to the west could support 12 families in their own countries.
I grew up out of the city and there was a giant field that separated where I lived and the urban metropolitan sprawl. In my mind, once I passed the field, I was home. There was a distinction between there and here, home and not home. I took comfort driving past the field and knowing I was entering the familiar. I went by there recently and noticed the huge field was undergoing residential development. Soon, there will be no distinction. No here and there. Just one big extension of the city. My comfy feeling of passing a threshold and being home will forever be lost. The quantitative overcoming the qualitative.
I used to love the fact that I lived only minutes from the countryside. But in the past 8 years there have been new build estates popping up all over the outskirts of my suburb literally 1000’s of homes. Not only disturbing the sense of peace but also they are priced at 400-600 grand. They are not aimed at first time buyers.
"The old world will burn in the fires of industry, the forests will fall. A new order will rise. We will drive the machine of war with the sord and the spear and the iron fist of the 'orc' Rohan my lord, is ready to fall
Many believe the 'New order' Tolkien was referring to was fascism. The Orc were the Nazis. Although that's why Tolkien hated allegory. He understood all wars and conflicts have parallels and who the Orc or the Elves are depends on perspective.
NOW is the Time! Well the first thing you know when you see an orc is that it's a fkn orc. Plus woman and children didn't have to fear the German Army. Is some cases they were welcomed as saviors.
Aye it stands about as much chance of returning to green field as the pubs returning...gone for good. They just built 400 houses near my dads, all on green belt land i used to play on as a kid, exactly as you say between two villages, now there's only a road separating them, and the best bit is the road to this new estate has two single lane hairpin bends they haven't widened, so most of the houses have two or more cars, thats at least 800 new cars using that road, its no surprise there's always remains of car indicator and headlights in the road... They were forced to build some of them as "Affordable Housing" though....which was nice, as the local Pakistani's snapped all them up straight away and now rent them out....
