Newcastle city centre today underwent a simulated “terror alert“, being the first British city outside of London to undertake such a thing. The official reason, though unannounced, is in case a sudden gale appears and blows some of the smog from Middlesbrough too far north and we have to deal with its effects.

As if it will get that far… it would get stuck over Scumderland and suffocate all the Machems!
