A video to calm the nerves of your fellow travellers as you queue for ages at the inevitable security check.

The fact that she got away with unarguable massive fraud has to show even the naive who voted Remain exactly how the Euro-elite system actually works. 5000 of them in France alone, and they heavily intermarry to keep the gravy train on the rails for generations to come. The membership queue includes most of our MPs, and particularly the Blairite Labour ones. The Brexit vote was a disaster to these people, but Blair is plotting behind the scenes to undermine it.

The residents group is still going strong. We have just had our 4th xmas party for the kids on Saturday and as usual they thoroughly enjoyed it. Because of the major renovations going on over the last couple of years ,hindered by the original builders going bust we've had to put a few things on hold. We've had financial help and support from, Bernicia, EBPC,Police and Crime commissioners Fund and Northumberland Police. We raise money mainly via a weekly bonus ball draw. We are looking to raise funds by other means from next year. A trip is being planned to South Lakes Zoo Park in late Spring / Early summer 2017. Hopefully we can do something for the older residents and get them away in the summer as well. Our bank account is in a healthy state as well. Maybe we should take up the offer of help to create a website (above GGG) if it is still available . We've managed with a facebook page up till now
