Tyne Tees viewers anger at Council for ditching Yorkshire

Viewers expressed their anger on Tyne Tees TV's North East News programme tonight after Redcar & Cleveland Council voted by 27 votes to 23 yesterday to delete Yorkshire from the Council's postal address.

Yorkshire easily won the text poll of local residents.

Just in case those watching thought I was going a bit over the top. We don't normally have flags and banners draped over cupboards and on walls. It was just for the filming. This blog, showing the poll on the sidebar, was also filmed though you would have to pause the film to see it.

Many thanks to all the people who rang us up after the programme to express their disgust at Labour's spiteful actions. I am sure that this issue is going backfire on Labour.
