Self-confessed liar Edward Heath - the man who subverted our constitution and illegally signed away our ancient democratic rights - is now posthumously involved in child abuse allegations. A retired senior police officer raised concerns about cover-ups in 2014, and in response to a very recent appeal from the delayed investigation (maybe to get the GE out of the way) two males have come forward. I really don't care if these are true or not because this man's crimes are already there for anyone who wants to see, and they involve the ultimate crime of high treason, which until 1998 still demanded the death penalty. The last person to be executed for high treason was convicted on an absurd technicality worthy of Kafkaesque novel, yet Heath escaped his blatant treasonous acts thanks to the complicity of the united interests of our establishment - closing ranks as they always do! LibLabCon didn't want to rock the boat on their own European ambitions, so any move to undo Heath's criminal connivance was ridiculed or otherwise thwarted. For anyone reading this who wasn't around (or politically aware) in those deferential times here's a quick explanation of Heath's treason: http://www.vernoncoleman.com/euillegally.html The guy on the right's crimes were minor compared with the man on the left. But the man on the left got away free and clear with his - thanks to the British Establishment! It's hardly remembered now but Heath committed his very own "Watergate act" by bribing a senior Labour party official for inside information on the party. But, of course, British Justice chose to turn a blind eye to that too!

The most famous person born in Bedlington has to be Daniel Gooch. He was Isambard Kingdom Brunel's chief engineer. Not only was he the Chairman of the Great Western Railway for over 30 years but was also involved in the laying of the first transatlantic telegraph cable and was a key figure in the industrialization of Britain. A couple of weeks ago I was at Swindon and had a meal at Wetherspoons and was surprised to find that the name of the pub is The Sir Daniel Arms with photos and information on the wall of the restaurant and a short history that mentions Bedlington as his birthplace (see attached photos). Swindon also has the Sir Daniel Gooch Theatre and a Sir Daniel Gooch Road. This made me realize how little has been made in Bedlington of the fact that he was born here. We all know the plaque on the wall of The Grapes, placed there, according to one of Evan Martin's books by The Bedlington Society in 1936. The other famous individual from Bedlington is Michael Longridge and he is remembered by Longridge House on the Front Street. There is Longridge Way, Stephenson Way and Gooch Avenue at Barrington industrial estate but Bedlington should at least have a main street named after Daniel Gooch.
