Make the case

THE Journal has launched an online survey to gauge opinion on the Gospels.

Go to www.journallive.co.uk and click on the link on the homepage to fill in the short survey or head to our section featuring previous stories about the campaign to bring the sacred book back to the region – it can be found at www.journallive.co.uk/lindisfarne gospels.

Our survey was launched yesterday and there has already been a strong reaction to the ‘cultural crumb’ thrown to the region with 86.2% saying they believe the British Library’s decision does not go far enough.

Almost 90% think the North East should be given the Gospels back permanently while 89.3% say they would not travel to London to see the book.
