Time for North East regional unity.
@ 21/04/2013 – 07:21:17
We need to realise that London is the enemy of the North East, we have to have greater regional unity. If we don't fight our own corner no one from down south will ever do it for us. They simply don't care. http://www.journallive.co.uk/north-east-news/todays-news/2013/04/12/lord-adonis-we-can-t-rely-on-whitehall-region-must-work-together-61634-33158839/

Bloody arrogant tory twits.
@ 18/08/2012 – 14:41:13
Young Tory twits.
Get these clowns on the line at Nissan, on an Oil rig, nursing a ward full of seriously ill patients, put them in front of a class room full of unruly kids. at the checkout at a busy supermarket, of even on the other end of a phone at a soul destroying call centre.
They would be in a heap on the floor in a day.
Bloody arrogant tory twits.
And isn't it funny how foreign investors and managers make a big success of things in the UK ?
Perhaps its time that the British managers got off the golf course put down the G & T 's and did some graft. -

It hads been announced that the Lindisfarne Gospels will return to region when are put on display at Durham Cathedral in 2013.
It is a shame that the announcement wasn't to say they were to be returned to their natural home permanently.Lindisfarne Gospels at Durham.

The North East - more Scandanavian than English !
@ 27/05/2012 – 13:24:03
A study of surnames in our region prove that most of us have stronger links with our Scandanvian heritage than we do with the rest of England.
Underneath it all quite a lot of us are nothing more than Vikings.
Norse code for North Eastern names.
This is nothing new as a sculpture was created when the Newcastle Civic Centre was built called the Five Swans which represented the regions' links with five Scandanavian countries.
Denmark, Sweden, Finland, Norway and Iceland
