  1. Being dominated by two parties  has left us with a malfunctioning democracy and widespread public disillusionment.in politics and politicians, I think we are crying out for a new political party in the UK, not one made up of luvies or tree hungers  but one of people who live in the real world and who would put the UK and its people first. 

    I suppose I will have to keep on dreaming .

  2. I often watch films on the British Film Institute  (BFI) site, some you pay for but many are free,

    I noticed today that a map has been added to the site and you can select an area and view films from that area for free. (at the moment)

     

    Well worth a look, here is a link to a couple I enjoyed, many more to chose from

  3. And what about this poster from   Operation Black Vote, showing an elderly Asian woman and a tattooed white thug facing each other on a see-saw.

    The poster  by Saatchi and Saatchi  is to be shown on billboards in London and Manchester in the run-up to the poll.

    Can you imagine the outcry if it showed an elderly white woman and a threatening black or Asian man

    TTIP!

    Yes its like people in power were controlling the media and what stories they are allowed to run, in order to keep citizens uninformed,:D

    I wonder what the Biased Broadcasting Company had to agree  to in order to stop Dave reforming them -_- 

    If the stay campaign win this referendum may well be the last one allowed  EVER

     

    Greens Want To Ban Referendums On European Questions, As Direct Democracy Threatens the EU

  5. I had never heard of Ann Coulter but I was glued to this interview with her on radio 4 the other day, she was more than a match for one of the   BBC best interviewers .

     She  was one of the first people to back Trump's campaign and she  is passionate about the Country she lives in. its a  shame the UK has no one like to  her.

      The interview is not long but is well worth a listen to.

    The thing which is conspicuous by its absence is the much vaunted Sovereignty Bill. Another of Duplicitous Dave's shoot-from-the-hip promises ditched at the first hurdle. 

    Dave's driver-less car only makes U turns and seems to often get stuck in reverse gear.:(

  7. Ed Balls and Vince Cable? Osborne must be desperate!

    Their ideas and  policies have been  rejected by the majority of the population.

    Yet, there they stand failed politicians backing the  gravy train for failed politicians

    .

     

    And guess who has been showing adverts for the out campaign on its overseas website

    Ads ran  in error of course ^_^

    there is a suggestion by TonyG that the Rediffusion shop may have became NVR owned by the son of Jimmy Millne. Rediffusion would appear to have internal shutters.

    N.V.R   was further along on the site of the Co-operative funeral directors, NVR and the Home bakers shop were pulled down and the funeral directors is a new build.

     I know others think it was the old hall.

    Bedlington Old Hall, or tower, was built in the C16 or C17 and stood three storeys high. It was demolished in 1959 and the site occupied by council offices.

    http://www.gatehouse-gazetteer.info/English%20sites/2390.html

     

     

    And Possibly Maggies Bishops Palace    

    From Northumberland,gov.uk

     

     From at least the 12th

    century, there was a

    substantial hall at Bedlington for the Bishop and

    his retinue. There was also a court building as

    assizes were held in the town. The settlement

    developed around the predecessor of Front

    Street with the church and Bishop’s hall adjacent

    and long, narrow properties running back at

    right angles from the street line.

  10. The brexit movie has had little if any TV publicity, but   every time anyone from the remain camp has anything to say Sky, ITV, C4 ,and the Biased Broadcasting Corporation all give it headlines news 

    Every day brings in a new troll from the panic and desperation Pro-EU campaign.

    I wonder what they'll dream up for us  tomorrow for our daily dose of 'Project Fear' .

    No wonder so many politicians  are wanting to stay in, a nice little well paid job in Brussels unelected and unsackable must be  very tempting

    Id rather be poorer and live in a Britain that I used to know, than live in this liberal multicultural left wing hell hole that we have become......

     To apply to build within an area designated as both a Local Wildlife Site and a Local Nature Reserve, particularly 'executive' housing which is out of the reach of the vast majority of Bedlington residents, is insulting and offensive to our community.

     

    So would you be  happier  If the plans were for cheap starter homes?

    Its sad that when people work hard and are successful in life and make a good living  that some folk think its offensive and insulting,

    Good luck to those who work hard and do well, they certainly do not  insult or offend me  so why bash them.

    I think there has been a bit of confusion on the Martins Bank website. If you look at the page for Bedlington STATION Martins Bank then that too says 'Takeaway' at the bottom.

     

    http://www.martinsbank.co.uk/11-50-00%20Bedlington%20Station.htm

    Your right webtrekker

    Also when it was Barclays it was not on palace road it was somewhere between Matty Robinsons and Keenleysides  I think now pulled down

    I think the bank in your photo on palace road is possibly now somthing like hot mlillions or the likes ( I think they are the single storey buildings between the Clayton and the old domino 

  13. Queue is not a word Americans normally use, stand in line is more often used. Has Mr Obamas UK speech been written by Downing street flunkies or was it just rehashed from one of Mr Camerons fear tactic rants during the Scottish vote.,

    Sickening to watch Cameron standing next Obama and smirking as he threatens us

    Dont forget planning applications and petitions and old day centre photos.

    Pot and kettle come to mind.  

     

    And as a local I am more than happy with Morrisons, it would be very sad to see so many jobs go if it is forced to close
