Remember the 1980s/1990s?
About Me
- Antoine Tinnion
- Northumberland, United Kingdom
- I was born in Alston, Cumbria and raised in Newcastle by my mum in a single-parent family. My grandfather and both great-grandfathers on my mother's side were miners. I won a fee-assisted place to Newcastle RGS, and appreciate more than anyone the difference in life a good education makes. After school I went on to Cambridge, Oxford and Harvard Law School where I obtained a first class degree in Law, a Master degree in Economics and Politics, and a Masters degree in Law. I work as a barrister, and my wife and I have two fantastic kids, the eldest of whom was born at Hexham General Hospital. I’m the only one of the main party candidates to be North East "born and bred".

Signing up to "Pledges" is always a bit risky - however much we may support a specific pledge such as this.
It tempts me to ask:
1) Will you ensure that the fallen are properly honoured and buried where possible in named graves? (for example see http://1914-1918.invisionzone.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=137464 ) Honouring the fallen should be part of our heritage of support to the armed forces.
2) Why have you not signed the Refuge Pledge (see http://www.liberty-human-rights.org.uk/issues/5-asylum/have-your-candidates-signed-the-pledge-.shtml )? You are not on it as of 8:28 23/4 - which is surprising considering your own opponents.
I agree entirely with you that every British soldier should be buried in a named grave whenever possible. We should honour those who have died for us.
On the Refugee Pledge, I have corrected that omission and hopefully the website will add my name to the list of Parliamentary candidates who have signed the pledge soon.
