The only reason Labour gained power in the first place in the 1990s was due to Tony Blair recognising the sceptism existing between business and the City with the arcane mechanics of Trade Unionism. By promoting a new, centre – leaning socialism he, and his New Labour strategy went a long way in bridging this gap which for so long kept Labour from power.. recognising the inherent failure in exclusively leftist political mantra and promoting modern, market based dynamics that also include the basic cultural tenets of socialism as best they could.

Don’t you think Labour “gaining power in the first place” may have been due – ever so slightly – to the British public being fed up of 18 years of Conservative government?

It’s just a thought…. :roll:

are Quality People.

I’ve not progressed through a single supermarket checkout without sharing my whole life story. Christ they are friendly up here, especially when you’re used to that M25 madness.
At work, in the pubs, at football, in the shops and even the bloody neighbours make my heart swell.

And the same goes for every single one I’ve ever spoke to in chat rooms too, whether from North or South of the river. Warm, funny and very sociable. I even include Smoggies in this. The sons of coal-miners now working in call centres, and the very pretty girls who brave the North Sea winters with not much more than a Viking’s smile.

My modest lil ol’ tribute to those from an historically deprived area.
Respect.

There are quality people all over the country – not just the north east. :roll:

Thanks for the comment on the pic btw…you are obviously a football conoisseur!! 8) :D

I had an email from the Chief Sports Reporter of my local paper telling me that the football action photo I sent him on Sunday MIGHT be used in the paper this week.
There are no guarantees but I will be ****ing chuffed if they use it.

Here’s the photo….

I won’t be making any more posts on JC folks.
So au revoir and good luck to everyone on here. :wink:
