In 2026, Jarrow reflects what is going wrong with many parts of the North East.
All across Northern England, there is increasing demographic change, population shift, economic and industrial decline, and major cultural and political changes.
For some on the political Left, the existence of areas of a concentrated indigenous White British population is unacceptable and is counter to their ideological commitment to ‘diversity’ and their drive to make all Britain ‘truly multicultural’.
With that in mind, consider this recent news story from South Tyneside:
“An Albanian illegal immigrant was found hiding in the loft at a large-scale cannabis farm after being sold a dream about life in the UK has been jailed. Police arrested Ramadan Alamo at a property in Jarrow, which is a ward in south Tyneside, where he was growing 158 cannabis plants across 4 separate rooms in February.
Newcastle Crown Court heard the illegal crops could have produced up to £39.000 worth of cannabis. Laminate 28 admitted producing cannabis, and claimed he worked as a gardener at the farm.”
Jarrow was famous for the Jarrow march to London back in the 1930s when around 200 protesters marched all the way to London to hand a petition demanding work after the closure of Palmer’s shipyards. Known as the Jarrow Crusade, the march to London by unemployed shipyard workers became an iconic image of White British working-class resistance to mass unemployment and the impact of the ‘Great Depression’ and was a symbol of ‘The Hungry Thirties’.
More recently, during the times when the B.N.P contested council elections, it was fertile ground for nationalists with the nationalist vote in the Primrose ward being over 30 per cent. Sadly, those days are gone, and the area has now become unchallenged by any nationalist party.
According to British Movement activists in the North East, the area of South Tyneside, including towns like Jarrow, is seeing increasing numbers of immigrants especially ‘asylum-seekers’, being settled in those districts.
Consider these factual statistics taken from Wikipedia, which reflect census figures from 2011 and 2021; no doubt those statistics are rapidly changing.
Jarrow compared in the 2011 and 2021 census
Ethnic origin Jarrow, South Tyneside
2011 | 2021
White British
97.1% | 95.0%
Asian
1.1% | 2.2%
Black
0.2% | 0.3%
The fact that only 2.9% of Jarrow’s population is non-White British makes Jarrow the least ethnically diverse major urban subdivision in Tyneside and less ethnically diverse than its surrounding borough, South Tyneside.
Jarrow contains areas such as Fellgate and Hedworth, which border onto Greenbelt in the south of the town, which have very high White British populations. In South Tyneside, 5.0% of the population are non-White British, which is almost double the figure for Jarrow, also the borough has twice the percentage of Asian people compared to this riverside town.
The obvious question is, ‘How much longer will the cultural Marxist politicians allow the above population demographics to last?” Jarrow is an obvious target for population manipulation through the Labour government’s ‘Operation Scatter’.
All part of the Great Replacement
