IT appears the North-East's Euro-MPs should not bother applying for jobs as detectives if they ever lose their seats.
When anti-EU campaigner Neil Herron received an email last week describing him as a "f****** Luddite", all three immediately promised, via The Journal, to investigate the incident.
However, their policing skills seem to be limited. By yesterday, none had actually got as far as contacting Mr Herron himself for a copy of the email in question.
Still, they seem to be very much suited for their current jobs.
After all, it took the European Commission - which has occasionally been criticised for bloated bureaucracy - four days to establish whether the sender worked for it or not.
