The far right brought a hundred or so with them, bussed from far and wide. This city turned out 1000s, from local communities, estates and streets. Geordies of all backgrounds coming together and outnumbering the purveyors of hate by some distance.

Newcastle united.

I did it! Sir Chris Hoy’s Tour de 4 in Glasgow was wonderful. The rain was biblical and Tak Ma Doon was a brutal climb but the support was fabulous. I’ve raised Β£1535 for the gynae cancer research charity The Eve Appeal. Thank you. The link in my bio is still open if you’d like to donate.
