Teesside Freeport

[BiggEggo]

Should have left the place in a shoite hole like a majority want on here and also sold the Airport to developers.

The developers will get the airport in the end anyway judging by the manner in which its being badly run and losing millions.

In a way, it's kind of understandable that Teesside would have flirted with the Tories, you have a generation that hasn't really known what it's like with only a local labour legacy to attempt to blame for all that's gone wrong ... Hopefully all this will help put a lid back on that Pandora's box for some time to come. Forgive them for they knew not what they were doing.

Sadly some won’t admit to have been sold a pup and may double down at the next election and vote for them again. It’s the only reason I can think why they would vote for these crooks and charlatans.

I am comforted though by the fact that there won’t be enough for them to be re-elected thankfully.

For the attention of @Boroboyyo , I merely suggested Brendan Clarke-Smith feed himself into a woodchipper, this is not the same thing.

Has Ray Casey of NE bylines got any positive ideas on how to develop the region?

His comments and opinions in NEbylines all seem extremely negative.

Wasnt it NE Bylines that costed out a rapid transit system for Teesside similar to Tyneside Metro.

This thread illustrates the political negative and self interest games that go on from both the Right and Left.

I particularly love playing the corruption political game, but as long as it gets results eh?

About those results, I'm sure the Judges will make a lovely family home.

Why do so many of the reply from "right" leaning posters sound more sensible when read outloud in an ironic manner??
