We sang it for years... Probably before you were born, Boris and in the sol, there are still Geordies here, Geordies there, Geordies every f*cking where: we're just not so insecure that we have to sing about our fledgling, made up identity. You see, young un, we've been proud Geordies for centuries: my father, your father, his father we all stood side by side and professed our love and our Pride of being Geordies. You don't have any of that though, kidda... your history is borne of a word used to mock you and whilst you've embraced that word, the word that you're trying to exorcise hangs over you like a cloak. We're everywhere, marra: those of us who are non mackems - and try as you might to deny us and deny the fact, we outnumber your not so merry band. We are proud Geordies, Durhamites, Northumbrians, Yorkshiremen and folk from far beyond and we are all comfortably steeped in the richest of histories and are therefore not desperate to forge an identity at the cost of alienating and strong, silent majority. But you crack on with your vendetta against us, marra... it amuses us, bless you. Xx
