Good.

By Peter Young, The Evening Chronicle
A complaint has been made to race relations investigators after Newcastle was described as "hideously white".

The remark was made at a conference by Neil Murphy, a Government official who is working on secondment at Newcastle City Council.

At the same conference, the city council's assistant chief executive, Paul Rubinstein, des-cribed the Tyne & Wear area as one of the "whitest" in the North.

Newcastle resident Bryan Allen, 49, has now made a formal complaint to the Commission for Racial Equality claiming the remarks were insulting.
