Why was it unthinkable? There was always going to be a push-back against the fools and the exploiters of fools! Britain's friends in the USA are not the virtue signallers in the USA - we've got plenty of morons like that over here already. Has the current state of your own adopted country not taught you anything? Even the Guardianistas at the BBC are now recoiling at what has been perpetrated on the Swedish people by "social engineers" of the ilk of Tony Blair. Here's a picture of what friends look like: They are not on the take from us; not intent on social engineering, want to rebuild old alliances, and share the same values and liberty of thought with us. What is more, they don't want to takeover any one else's country; act as apologists for people who do, or signal what very superior beings they are. They just want to get on and do what rational humans have always done: make the lives of their families and friends better, then that of their region and county better, then on and beyond. They have traditional allegiances, because that is what has always worked best for EVERYBODY. They are the builders and not the destroyers! The world has had enough of people like your friend, and it's time for a return to sanity. All the pejoratives they target at people who refuse to be brow beaten by them and adopt their narrow mindset no longer have resonance. The reality is that THEY are the ones full of hate, and it's a hate against the very things which created them and their fellow countrymen. When they can sort out their own prejudices they may have some latitude to lecture others. The wet behind the ears kids on the streets have an excuse for their foolishness and naivety, but the so called "educated" who don't provide them with broader and more mature insights into life have a lot to answer for. Thankfully most of those kids will grow up, but many of their educators never did. Is this foolish friend of yours an "educator"?

Monica Lewinsky siad she could not vote for Hillary as the last Clinton who was in office left a bad taste in her mouth

Is Nigel packing his bag for his new job yet?

Can't see anything on their web site CL - Malcolm must be able to get a hold of the knitting pattern! Their email address that they ask people to contact them on is :- bedlingtoncommunitycentre@hotmail.co.uk

I could be wrong CL but I think this is second year - inspired initially by the 2014 centenary poppy display at the Tower of London. This is a link to the community centre artcile on Bedlington's own Weeping Window - http://www.bedlingtoncommunitycentre.co.uk/poppy-display.html

Why don't they put the proposed "welcome to Bedlington" artwork there instead of beside Demesne Avenue.

... because it's a drinking fountain, perhaps?

The 125,000 copies printed represents proof of a conspiracy? Apparently an idiotic screw up, but additional confirmation of irredeemable establishment group-think nevertheless. The people who hate "uncertainty", but fail to recognise that uncertainty is the very essence of the real world.

Not at the moment. There is a block beside the car parks behind the Bluebell pub, but they are closed due to disrepair. Supposedly they are going to be renovated. There is also a block in Attlee park car park, but they again are closed possibly to be renovated. We can only cross our fingers, as well as our legs!

Italy could be the next country to take revenge on careerer politicos (of which the EU is the utter embodiment). The referendum on 4th December is about obscure constitutional changes, but it is being regarded as a vote on the EUphile Prime Minister and imposed EU placeman Mario Renzi. He's desperately back-pedalling on his Brussels affiliations in order to appear to be his own man, but few people are buying this. His principal achievement so far is to get the right wing Northern League and the left-of-center Five Star movement (which supports and votes with Ukip in the EU parliament) to unite against him! Five Star still seem to cling to a belief that the EU could be reformed, but they do want out of the Eurozone double quick, and if they get control will get the support of Italy's right wing parties to scrap the Euro. This would be a huge blow for Juncker and Merkel, and a major step towards the EU exit door. The resulting recovery of the Italian economy would set an example for Spain, Portugal, Greece, etc. to follow, and start an irreversible stampede. Without them all keeping the Euro undervalued Germany will be tipped into recession, and the AfD there is sure to add to its recent gains. This, and several other factors, means that the outlook for the EU is bleak in the extreme, and before too long there may not be any EU for crazy religious types like Tim Farron to cling to!

Yes, but the real question must be has Peter the postman been tampering with the postal vote?

Re: Trotter Memorial. Putting it in the middle of the roundabout will make it inaccessible to those interested in seeing it in detail and reading the inscription.
