British Values

Unlike Theresa May, I most certainly am demanding that everyone drink Yorkshire Tea and watch Coronation Street. British values, indeed.

By citing these two, even Mrs May, who is the the MP for Maidstone and who herself hails from Eastbourne on the very South Coast, has accepted that the North of England is the beating heart of British culture.

But then, she was a candidate here in North West Durham in 1992. I remember her well, living in Lanchester for the duration.

It has always surprised me that Yorkshire Tea did not sponsor Emmerdale. But if it started sponsoring Corrie, then all wounds ostensibly being healed this week by the funeral of Richard III really would be.
