Good news, and he certainly didn't miss the photo op.  Hey, did you know that there's an election coming!

 

 

But, let's put this into context: London gets a ludicrous 24 times as much infrastructure spending per head as the North East does, and that's despite the much larger distances to cover here!  Fair dos would have seen this done decades ago. Not to mention a light railway shuttle to the Market Place along the old colliery railway route, as part of an East Coast railway revival project.

GGG - I'm not quite clear if you're saying the tootoo train IS coming to Bedders.

Who is next for Bedlington Brown or Major?

But what about the tootoo?

You don't get fair dos from LibLabCon!  Money stays where the liberal elites stay.  Or... in the case of HS2, it's a build-out from where they stay to the provinces, with the North East at the never-ever end of the queue for crumbs.

So there won't be a tootoo to the Toon?

So there won't be a tootoo to the Toon?

 

Only if we fail to vote Ukip.

 

Seriously though, the 24:1 per-head spend differential between London and the NE should be the very first thing we should be demanding redress for.  Like Malc I believe that the reason we don't get the jobs is because we don't have the infrastructure, and we don't have the infrastructure because we've always keeled over and mindlessly supported establishment parties.  As long as we sell our votes on the cheap we'll forever be put in the cheap seats.

 

The Scots are now out to milk the UK for every British pound, so it's high time we demanded a fair proportion of the England infrastructure spend as the price of our votes.

So Nige is bringing the tootoo to Bedders.  Vote kippers, vote kippers, vote kippers.
