Q. I know you're living in Newcastle at the moment, you're from Teesside, so how do you feel comfortable that someone helped to clean up?
00:07
I think that the North is more than just one place, you know, we're only separated usually by the football
00:14
and unfortunately these fascists have tried to separate us again.
00:18
And we've seen the real Sunderland, we've seen the real North this morning, cleaning up the roads,
00:22
cleaning up the pathways, making sure that it feels a bit safer
00:26
and I really hope that this contributes to Muslims and any refugees and asylum seekers
00:31
feeling comfortable in coming to the North East.
00:33
Q. And I know what happened this morning, it showed the positive side of the North East,
00:37
do you think what happened last night will damage England?
00:40
I do, yeah, I think if these people really are from Sunderland, which a few of them I don't think they are,
00:45
I think that they've done a lot worse for this city than they've done better.
00:50
They've damaged the reputation for themselves, they've disappointed themselves,
00:54
they've disappointed their mums, they've disappointed the North,
00:57
and they've trashed the place, they've trashed their own city.
01:00
So that's one wealth, isn't it? And they're not even here to clean it up this morning.
