The North East of England was heavily settled by Irish people in the last century. Unfortunately, those areas are also huge bases of recruitment for the British Armed Forces so that link to Ireland has been fairly decimated in people's minds in the last few decades.

Geordies are lovely people, my sister in law comes from the Toon.
Genuinely shocked by those comments, a reflection of a minority sadly

Very much a reflection of the minority. Have been living and working in Newcastle for years and there's a big Irish community here which is very much welcomed by the locals.

Newcastle>Sunderland>Middlesbrough areas can all be quite dicey in terms of reception towards Irish people. That raging bigot ex-referee Jeff Winter comes from Middlesbrough for instance. Interestingly enough, most of the planters in Ireland came from that area of England along with the lowlands of Scotland.

The English have always looked down on the Irish. it's not visual and not something you wouldn't see everyday. The English have a colonial mindset, whereby they subconsciously look down on everybody else.
If you were to rattle their cage a bit, you'll see it.
