How dare Professor John Tomaney insult everbody who lives in the south…..A news Item in the Northern Echo
Here
The Yes group led by EU backed Professor John Tomaney has started to play a dirty campaign they must be desperate!
Yes 4 The North-East yesterday sent an 8 foot rat, (Not in metric I note) armed with a one-way railway ticket back to London, to track down what it says are the southern-based spin doctors behind the North-East Says No campaign.
Yes 4 The North-East said the rat had been chosen to symbolise the Rather Arrogant Toff Southerners, who they said were masterminding a campaign to dupe North-East people on the cost of an elected regional assembly.
Campaign director Ross Forbes said: “It’s a shame we had to stoop to this”
Yes I would agree when you are so desperate that you have to descend to insulting everybody who lives south of Darlington to try to win your votes that is a shame.
Below are just two of the letters of complaint sent to the Northern Echo
Dear Sir,
RATS
To Professor John Tomaney I am obviously a “Rather Arrogant Toff Southerner”
which just goes to show how absurd and facile the Professor’s assumptions
are.
My middle daughter lives and works in Newcastle and both I and my wife enjoy
our visits to this vibrant and attractive City. Furthermore my family come
from Liverpool so, although I may live in the South and no doubt John
Tomaney would castigate me as a “Toff” I suggest my northern roots,
traceable to 1600, exceed his.
Having on many occasions met Neil Herron, a more honest and patriotic
Englishman you could not hope to meet.
If only I were in a position to vote in this EU inspired break up of England
through Regionalisation I would listen to Neil Herron, a decent, down to
earth, local trader, rather than a professor taking money from Brussels.

Bill Woodhouse
Dear Editor,
Professor John Tomaney from the Jean Monnet Centre at Newcastle University
who is leading the “Yes” campaign to install a North East Assembly. Is
exactly the reason people should vote “NO” to the Regional Assembly in the
referendum.
We have been repeatedly told regional assemblies are “nothing to do with the
EU”, but the Professor is proof of the EU connection, because Jean Monnet
was one of the original advocates and founders both in Europe and in America
of the original European Community, now the EU.
He established many learning centres throughout the EU to spread his
message, which would eventually lead to a political joining of nation states
and the creation of a Superstate of the Regions, and the removal of control
from the nation states.
yours truly
Mrs Jane Birkby
