After saying that there was no such country as England, Newcastle City Council Leader, Peter Arnold is shocked and upset at receiving hate mail.
Arnold was branded a 'loony leftie' by North East MEP Martin Callanan who also said he found his views astonishing for the leader of an English city.
After being the target myself of unwarranted, offensive e-mails and threats I would never condone the sending of such abuse, but I would say, Mr. Arnold, you entered the arena willingly, and with extreme views. It's a bit rich complaining that people take exception, especially with such highly contentious comments as 'there is no England'.

I'd like to know how many he got?
In the not to distant future all these nay sayers like Arnold will be seen wassailing and quoting Chesterton and Kipling to get a vote.
