Born in Sunderland. Brought up in Horden and spent my school holidays at my Uncles in a fairly remote cottage in Teesdale. Loved it. Worked at hotels in and around Durham which is my favourite city. Moved to Work in Carlisle and then to Grimsby and 40 yrs later still remain in the area. The north east is still home and I still visit when I can.
Poor leadership in the NE has let us down, the NW seems currently to be far better represented, from a distance anyway, that's how it looks to me. Always voted Labour but did vote for the Gang of Four when they broke away, as I always trusted Shirley Williams. Crashed in flames, but not her fault imo., and a center party did work later under New Labour until Blair got carried away by the American Hawks.
your right mate, it was Blair that put the last nail in the coffin for me and labour never voted for them again and never will, not when you have the likes of black women stealing a living, just because they are black ABBOT,and her idiot son the bully who was publicly educated, Fiona Onasanya has become the second-ever female MP to be jailed The disgraced former Labour MP, who now stands as the independent member for Peterborough, was sentenced to three months for perverting the course of justice. She will continue to receive her salary of more than £77,000 while in prison. Then Dawn Butler what a piece of ****, blames the police for racial profiling her then when they want to release the body cam footage to prove they were correct she get a judge to put in a injunction to stop them, then the house of lords voting themselves a pay rise bunch of twats.
