The Home Front in Gateshead


My brother in law is in the RAF and is flying out to Afghanistan tomorrow. I would love to hear from more residents with relatives in the armed forces. I have already blogged about how local manufacturing industry is involved in the defence industry. However I want to hear more from you about the experience of your family and friends, and what it is like to be waiting for news at home.

What do you think the governments approach to Afghanistan should be? As a candidate with personal experience of travel and aid in Afghanistan (I spent time there in 2006 and 2007) I would like to hear what the word on the street is in Gateshead.
Let me know what you think: email me at hazel4gateshead@googlemail.com.
