Scenes from East Newcastle and Wallsend.

Take It, It’s Yours

These are the ‘winners’ in post-industrial Newcastle. Their apartments line the river, now that it’s been cleaned up and luxury estates are built on the outskirts of the city. A consumer lifestyle has emerged amongst the better off, which they often work hard for. Are they happy? Surveys show that in the last 50 years, as we’ve got richer as a society, overall happiness has actually declined.

An adapted Louis MacNeice poem with a musical backing inspired by Jah Wobble with a Ken Masters rap in the middle. I hope you get the message, dealing with the most important issue of our age.
