Anyone on here there yesterday? Cracking day out. Streets of the city packed with bands, marchers and banners. Estimated 200,000 people all out, celebrating in solidarity.

Last time I was there Arthur Scargill and Neil Kinnock spoke. Was always a great event.

No, he'd have heard lots of feedback he wouldn't like. Angela Rayner was there though. As was Zahra Sultana, Corbyn and Ken Loach. I spoke with Jamie Driscoll and told him the treatment he's had has been a disgrace.

Starmer would go down like fart in a lift. Absolutely nothing in common with northern working class people

which was rather my point.
Seem to recall jeremy corbyn being the guest speaker a few years ago.
One of my hobbies/interests after the boro is funfairs hence my visit
which also had me at the Tall Ships on Friday. I went late in the afternoon yesterday missed the downpour luckily
Given how narrow some of the streets are in to the city centre im surprised the marching into the market square with the brass bands playing is still allowed

Hasn’t Starmer been warned to stay away previously or have I imagined that?

I've been quite a few times the best visit was with a mate of mine who played in the Lingdale Silver Band. He could tell which were the better bands, having heard them practice earlier and there was one band in particular where he had singled out the trumpet player. We got as close to the front as we could, when they were about to play in front of the County Hotel. The whole band played and then the trumpet player, solo, performed Bach's Toccata and fugue. It was absolutely,mindblowingly brilliant.
Her name is Zarah not Zahra and she's mine so keep your filthy paws away from her Mr. Vegas.

Did Rishi Sunak attend?
The Tories got a few seats in Durham didn’t they?

I should probably explain a bit more here Harry. Zarah Sultana is going to be my fourth human wife. I've already got loads of bum faced wives but I thought that it was about time that we started having mixed race relationships with humans. We can probably f*ck the greed and selfishnesss out of you. I've selected my first four human wives, but there is a bit of a problem because Hope Sandoval, Tanya Donelly and Zarah Sultana are all already married to other people and my mate Cath lives three hundred miles away and she's living with some bloke who thinks that he's an artist. His work is crap. I think that I might have accidentally told Bev that I'm going to marry her too, so that'll be five human wives that I'm going to have eventually. It's going to be exhausting, but I'll do it for the good of the planet. That's the bumfaced way.

You've messed yourself again there Nobby. Go and get a tissue and think about what you've done......or perhaps best not.
