We're back - but a lot has changed this summer!

:00:00.:00:00.

Ten weeks ago, the North led the way in voting to leave the EU -

:00:00.:00:09.

but do we really know what that will mean for our livelihoods

:00:10.:00:12.

My mission tonight - to try and find out!

:00:13.:00:19.

We've got to tackle the dishonest politics we have.

:00:20.:00:28.

We've got to tackle the problems of identity and immigration.

:00:29.:00:32.

They'll change what the government wants to change,

:00:33.:00:34.

If Prince Charles had owned a fishing boat, it'd be sorted.

:00:35.:00:38.

If they're not happy with what we do here

:00:39.:00:40.

I'm Chris Jackson - and welcome to a new series of Inside Out.

:00:41.:01:11.

EU? We are in for a long night. It EU? We are in for a long night. It

:01:12.:01:28.

was a night of drama. Durham voted leave. Narrow victory

:01:29.:01:33.

in Newcastle. I finally, Northumberland took us over the

:01:34.:01:37.

line. The British people have spoken and the answer is, we are ott.

:01:38.:01:52.

Were they being realistic? What do were hoping for when they voted.

:01:53.:02:06.

Were they being realistic? What do they think now?

:02:07.:02:08.

Florence here, a sturdy Gerlan camper van, will be my wheels.

:02:09.:02:10.

I'm going to travel the length and breadth of the North East

:02:11.:02:13.

and Cumbria, taking the post-Brexit temperature.

:02:14.:02:16.

Fingers crossed that 44-year-old Florence's

:02:17.:02:17.

famed German technological resilience will hold out.

:02:18.:02:23.

Almost 70% of the voters here opted for Brexit.

:02:24.:02:32.

I'll be happy when we're prosperous again.

:02:33.:02:41.

I think we can be without being in Europe.

:02:42.:02:44.

What made people in Hartlepool say, alt. Immigration. What do you make

:02:45.:02:59.

of that? A terrible attitude. alt. Immigration. What do you make

:03:00.:03:05.

of that? A terrible attitudd. Grow my own food, my own furniture. Bring

:03:06.:03:13.

it all back? Bring it back how it used to be, yes.

:03:14.:03:15.

After a busy morning, I need something to eat.

:03:16.:03:17.

Mary Lambert's have been in Hartlepool for 56 years.

:03:18.:03:21.

Eric Lambert found Brexit hard to stomach.

:03:22.:03:24.

There we go. Thanks, great. It was a shock Friday, thinking we are

:03:25.:03:40.

heading off into the unknown and we don't know what's going to happen.

:03:41.:03:45.

In reality, a lots has happdned What was the message they were

:03:46.:03:49.

sending? That people are not happy and they need to listen to that. We

:03:50.:03:53.

and they need to listen to that We are left out and marginalised. The

:03:54.:03:57.

wealth of the South does not reach us.

:03:58.:03:58.

But some of Eric's customers have their own reasons for voting OUT.

:03:59.:04:03.

What is the problem with too much immigration? It causes a lot of

:04:04.:04:09.

problems, schooling, Nation`l immigration? It causes a lot of

:04:10.:04:11.

problems, schooling, National Health problems, schooling, Nation`l Health

:04:12.:04:11.

:04:13.:04:13.

us. So Hartlepool is

:04:14.:04:14.

still not impressed. That's despite the North East

:04:15.:04:16.

receiving more than ?500 million in European aid

:04:17.:04:20.

between 2008 and 2013. From Hartlepool, we go

:04:21.:04:30.

north to Sunderland. There's been plenty

:04:31.:04:34.

of investment in the city over It cost ?100 million to connect

:04:35.:04:37.

Sunderland to the Tyneside Metro. was the referendum night shocker -

:04:38.:04:42.

61% voted pro-Brexit. The total number of votes cast in

:04:43.:05:03.

favour of Leave was 82,000... CHEERING.

:05:04.:05:06.

It was the first sign that the vote was going against Remain.

:05:07.:05:13.

It was a protest vote against the Tories. OK. So you were trying to

:05:14.:05:23.

give a naked -- Aiket? Yes. And has worked? It got rid of Cameron. Now

:05:24.:05:29.

that we have urged out, what you think? No different. What was the

:05:30.:05:34.

think? No different. What w`s the thing he wanted a change could?

:05:35.:05:40.

Everybody wanted out. Everybody says, we will be great again, but we

:05:41.:05:42.

don't have the resources. At Sunderland Body Art,

:05:43.:05:43.

there was plenty of debate I ended up deciding

:05:44.:05:46.

I should vote remain. I always like to listen to people

:05:47.:05:55.

but it became quite heated, especially here because half

:05:56.:06:00.

of the studio decided to vote If you fall out over politics you'd

:06:01.:06:03.

never speak to anyone. Believe it or not I'm getting

:06:04.:06:15.

a special Inside Out tattoo, He's in no doubt about

:06:16.:06:21.

the benefits of Brexit. My gut reaction to start

:06:22.:06:26.

with was I wanted out... I'd like to click my fingers and go

:06:27.:06:29.

back to how it was 20-30 years ago. But his big worry is

:06:30.:06:39.

the future of the Nissan car If Nissan went, for us it would be

:06:40.:06:42.

disastrous for a lot of people. I'm sure in time they'll

:06:43.:06:51.

still be there in 50 years. While we're waiting

:06:52.:06:55.

to find out the results... Heading north, I pass

:06:56.:07:04.

the Nissan factory. Last year, it exported more

:07:05.:07:18.

than half its output Back in February the company said it

:07:19.:07:24.

"made sense" for jobs costs and trade for Britain to relain

:07:25.:07:36.

in the EU. Recently, it said future investment

:07:37.:07:39.

in the plant will depend on the deal the British Government cuts

:07:40.:07:46.

with the EU. Perhaps it's a mark

:07:47.:07:48.

of the seriousness of the whole business that no-one from Nissan

:07:49.:07:53.

could be persuaded to talk. But perhaps I should not be teaming

:07:54.:08:00.

up with a German van. We asked 20 Nissan suppliers

:08:01.:08:04.

what they thought would happen 15 refused to comment,

:08:05.:08:07.

four never got back to us. One didn't wish to be identified,

:08:08.:08:11.

but said the plant would go if we were out of the single market

:08:12.:08:14.

and the government didn't intervene. It would have to subsidise Nissan

:08:15.:08:19.

to keep the plant in Sunderland Now that's just one viewpoint ?

:08:20.:08:23.

but it's significant, coming Nissan didn't want to comment

:08:24.:08:27.

specifically on those fears but repeated that it was working

:08:28.:08:32.

closely with the government. Future business decisions will be

:08:33.:08:36.

made on a case by case basis. And reaching a resolution

:08:37.:08:40.

as soon as possible The European Fisheries Fund

:08:41.:08:42.

contributed more than ?2 million The BBC was filming here

:08:43.:09:01.

the morning the Referendum It's a great day to be waking up

:09:02.:09:17.

this morning to see that we've got our independence back! APPL@USE

:09:18.:09:30.

Today, there is still plenty of optimism.

:09:31.:09:30.

Hopefully well start exporthng fish out the country.

:09:31.:09:32.

Fish ourselves, start exporting and not importing all the time.

:09:33.:09:35.

Might give the boats a bit more fishing quota and stuff, yot know.

:09:36.:09:45.

I believe if it's up to the UK Government to set their own policies

:09:46.:09:50.

once we're out they'll fight for the industry.

:09:51.:09:52.

It'll be Great Britain, Norway and Europe.

:09:53.:10:00.

The fall in the pound since the vote means it's cheaper to export -

:10:01.:10:05.

North Shields is about the biggest prawn place in Europe.

:10:06.:10:13.

The amount of prawns shipping out is unbelievable.

:10:14.:10:15.

I don't deal in shellfish, I'm a wet fish man.

:10:16.:10:19.

The shellfish men are rubbing their hands.

:10:20.:10:24.

But talk to the shellfish mdn and they're worried.

:10:25.:10:27.

Their prawns ? destined for France, Spain, not Britain ?

:10:28.:10:30.

But they don't trust the British government to deliver.

:10:31.:10:35.

Paul, skipper of the Venturd, has been fishing for 38 years.

:10:36.:10:40.

If Prince Charles owned a fhshing boat, it'd be sorted.

:10:41.:10:47.

That's a bit depressing if you go so far

:10:48.:10:52.

as to vote, but don't think it'll change anything.

:10:53.:10:55.

They'll change what the government wants to change,

:10:56.:10:57.

It wasn't just the fishing what I voted for.

:10:58.:11:25.

That immigration carry-on with migrants, that was

:11:26.:11:27.

The rules could change if we are in control?

:11:28.:11:36.

I'd like to think so, but i think we'll probably be

:11:37.:11:39.

horse-traded off for other industries.

:11:40.:11:42.

Whether they fight our corndr is the biggest worry.

:11:43.:11:52.

Next, north to Whitley Bay to take the post-referendum temperature.

:11:53.:11:58.

A cooling ice cream with Shdlley and Kevin Peterson.

:11:59.:12:01.

She's a financial consultant and voted IN.

:12:02.:12:04.

He's a retired executive and voted OUT.

:12:05.:12:08.

It got so heated, dirty tricks were nearly used.

:12:09.:12:11.

You were going to nick her postal vote?

:12:12.:12:13.

But I could have seen that it didn't get pushed into the red

:12:14.:12:18.

We haven't had a post-Brexit divorce yet.

:12:19.:12:25.

But they're still split about what's in store.

:12:26.:12:29.

The airlines haven't stopped flying, even though

:12:30.:12:31.

There's a lot of time before article 50 is invoked.

:12:32.:12:38.

We've got to work out what we want as a country.

:12:39.:12:42.

Some people told me the outers were short-term people.

:12:43.:12:49.

I don't hold with those who say there'll

:12:50.:12:55.

Because we have to make it go that way. That's what I'm expecthng

:12:56.:13:08.

way. That's what I'm expecting people to do.

:13:09.:13:09.

So you were for out, Kevin. Enjoying your Italian ice cream?

:13:10.:13:14.

Ten miles west to Newcastle University now.

:13:15.:13:24.

It's just received a ?100 mhllion EU investment loan.

:13:25.:13:31.

The Northern Institute for Cancer Research is part

:13:32.:13:33.

of a 40 million euro cancer therapy project.

:13:34.:13:37.

The government says it'll replace lost EU funding

:13:38.:13:40.

But the scientists say that won't solve all the problems.

:13:41.:13:47.

You want to collaborate quickly smoothly and easily and that'll not

:13:48.:13:52.

be the case if post-Brexit barriers go up between the UK

:13:53.:13:57.

In terms of things like data sharing agreements and material transfer

:13:58.:14:10.

agreements. spending money on europe,

:14:11.:14:11.

we'll be spending it on the likes It's not just a question

:14:12.:14:15.

of the actual money, it's If we take the project that

:14:16.:14:19.

I've just been funded. I would not want to receive my slice

:14:20.:14:23.

of money from the UK Governlent I want to be in the main project,

:14:24.:14:27.

because that's where all the benefits will be

:14:28.:14:31.

and where my research 14% of staff here are

:14:32.:14:33.

from the rest of the EU. They don't know if they'll

:14:34.:14:36.

be here in two years. I don't know if a lot of people

:14:37.:14:49.

will have considered what would happen to cancer

:14:50.:15:02.

research in their vote, but they really should have done,

:15:03.:15:04.

because the implications on what we do here and the way

we treat cancer patients in the UK The 65-mile drive through

Northumberland to Berwick She may not look like an old banger,

but sometimes, she sounds lhke She may not look like an old banger,

business, communities and tourism. As with Brexit, you're never quite

:15:43.:15:53.

sure what happens next. Florence is going to have

:15:54.:16:12.

to be taken away to see Hopefully, I'll be

:16:13.:16:15.

back with her soon. There's uncertainty

:16:16.:16:23.

in this border town. SNP leader Nicola Sturgeon said

:16:24.:16:29.

after the Brexit vote a second Scottish referendum

:16:30.:16:32.

was highly likely. do I want to be paid in euros

:16:33.:16:36.

and having to transfer it all? At Jones and jones, they're already

:16:37.:17:15.

feeling the effects of brexit. I've had a bit of

:17:16.:17:19.

a problem with ours. So tell me what's

:17:20.:17:26.

going on with Brexit. It damaged the business

:17:27.:17:31.

almost straightaway. During September, I'm

:17:32.:17:37.

sure we'll see prices We either increase our pricds

:17:38.:17:39.

or absorb the cost. What is it you want to

:17:40.:17:50.

happen, bearing in mind To sell something to the public

:17:51.:17:53.

without a plan is morally An opinion backed by one of Gavin's

:17:54.:18:00.

customers. What do you make off the out vote?

:18:01.:18:11.

I'm ashamed. Not of the voters.

:18:12.:18:16.

They're ditching the young. Go to tackle the dishonest

:18:17.:18:18.

politics we have. Yes, there are problems

:18:19.:18:31.

of identity and immigration. yes, we've got to put

:18:32.:18:35.

the brakes on it. But they're welcome,

:18:36.:18:37.

they contribute. For god's sake, we're

:18:38.:18:38.

a nation of immigrants. So you have a couple more years of

:18:39.:18:45.

not knowing? Shall I give you some certahnty Put

:18:46.:18:59.

that in the bank for you. I'm getting the feeling that people

:19:00.:19:05.

are holding their breath. They have more questions

:19:06.:19:07.

than there are answers. Back down Northumberland now to

:19:08.:19:13.

Alnwick, while Florence is repaired. The referendum split in the county

:19:14.:19:19.

was a lot closer than in other After the drama with

:19:20.:19:22.

Florence I need to relax. At Hotspur 1364, a men's

:19:23.:19:30.

outfitters in Alnwick, What sort of sum

:19:31.:19:32.

are we talking about? They said you're going to h`ve

:19:33.:19:53.

to start buying your stock in euros. The implications would be

:19:54.:20:05.

phenomenal. That would mean a one third

:20:06.:20:06.

uplift on last year. She was more upset

:20:07.:20:09.

about David Cameron All of my family

:20:10.:20:11.

who were shocked that he resigned. For now though things

:20:12.:20:24.

are picking up. I started the sale three wedks

:20:25.:20:28.

earlier than last year, just to try and bolster

:20:29.:20:30.

trade and it's worked. You just have to work a little bit

:20:31.:20:32.

harder and a little bit cutdr. I didn't realise I needed

:20:33.:20:36.

so much destressing From Alnwick we head south west

:20:37.:20:38.

to Ambleside in Cumbria. But the 132 mile trip

:20:39.:20:56.

is her biggest test so far. It's estimated more than 61,000 jobs

:20:57.:21:02.

in Cumbria rely on tourism. Many of them are filled by workers

:21:03.:21:08.

from the rest of the eu. I'm staying overnight

:21:09.:21:13.

at the Waterhead Hotel. More than half the staff

:21:14.:21:15.

here are from mainland Europe. Without them, we would be lost. Easy

:21:16.:21:26.

to say they come over here `nd Without them, we would be lost. Easy

:21:27.:21:32.

to say they come over here and take to say they come over here and take

:21:33.:21:36.

our jobs? No, there is nobody to do the jobs locally. So we have to

:21:37.:21:38.

the jobs locally. So we havd to bring in outside workers. Why is

:21:39.:21:45.

this situation like that? There is low unemployment and an elddrly

:21:46.:21:46.

retired population so we need people retired population so we need people

:21:47.:21:52.

to do these jobs. The Eastern European, the Spanish, they take a

:21:53.:21:53.

greater pride in doing thosd jobs greater pride in doing thosd jobs

:21:54.:22:00.

than many of our local people do. The 5-star serving tonight, four are

:22:01.:22:04.

foreign. It a lot of people were saying that by voting for Brexit,

:22:05.:22:09.

they wanted to keep immigration down, and stop people coming from

:22:10.:22:14.

abroad. That's you. It is, but what I mean is, if they are not happy

:22:15.:22:19.

with what we do, we can always leave. If you don't want us here, we

:22:20.:22:27.

will go. I was worried before but in the future, the situation changes, I

:22:28.:22:30.

will go to Spain again or perhaps to will go to Spain again or pdrhaps to

:22:31.:22:32.

France. Bookings have jumped 10% due France. Bookings have jumped 10% due

:22:33.:22:40.

in part to the weak pound. Despite the potential difficulties, there is

:22:41.:22:47.

some support for Brexit. I think they will introduce a quota system

:22:48.:22:50.

and it will be difficult for us to bring people in but we don't have

:22:51.:22:56.

the local workforce. I can foresee that the Commonwealth can supply

:22:57.:23:00.

more people but I hope the people we have here now will stay. Many of

:23:01.:23:02.

them have settled in the arda. have here now will stay. Many of

:23:03.:23:08.

them have settled in the area. OK! After a night in Ambleside, another

:23:09.:23:19.

problem. OK. I don't know if Paul Florence has taken umbrage at

:23:20.:23:20.

problem. OK. I don't know if Paul Florence has taken umbrage `t the

:23:21.:23:20.

Florence has taken umbrage at the Brexit vote. But she has decided not

:23:21.:23:28.

to play ball. -- if poor old Florence. And I have a funny feeling

:23:29.:23:30.

Florence. And I have a funnx feeling that I'm not getting anywhere fast.

:23:31.:23:39.

Florence more TLC. And soon, she is back on the road. But with a little

:23:40.:23:41.

back on the road. But with ` little help from her friends. So I make the

:23:42.:23:50.

27 mile Drive N. To Stainton using more modern technology. So far this

:23:51.:24:00.

year, farmers in Cumbria have received ?62 million in EU farm

:24:01.:24:02.

subsidies. The government has subsidies. The government has

:24:03.:24:05.

promised to continue the funding and that has been welcomed by f`rmers.

:24:06.:24:08.

that has been welcomed by farmers. That does not help stalled grant

:24:09.:24:14.

applications. This free range egg company and pride in March for a

:24:15.:24:21.

?150,000 EU grant -- applied in March. It is to speed up processing.

:24:22.:24:26.

Our grant has not been forthcoming and we are still waiting several

:24:27.:24:29.

months on. It really is abott months on. It really is about

:24:30.:24:32.

driving technology into agriculture and operating that will ragd in

:24:33.:24:34.

rural areas, looking at broadband rural areas, looking at bro`dband

:24:35.:24:39.

coverage and data collection. It is important that we move on qtickly

:24:40.:24:42.

important that we move on quickly and maintain the advantage that we

:24:43.:24:46.

have in British agriculture. So when do you get to hear? We keep being

:24:47.:24:53.

told a month or two and that has elapsed and we will have to wait to

:24:54.:24:56.

see vanishing comes out of the woodwork. If it doesn't happen, it

:24:57.:25:00.

could be a major problem. For now, the hens are still laying, almost 1

:25:01.:25:04.

the hens are still laying, `lmost 1 million eggs a day. After a quick

:25:05.:25:08.

repair, I realised with an old friend. Here she comes! Come on,

:25:09.:25:12.

friend. Here she comes! Comd on Florence. Here she goes.

:25:13.:25:28.

Our last stop is 36 miles up the road at Maryport. To round off this

:25:29.:25:36.

examination of post-referendum opinion, a quiet game at the bowls

:25:37.:25:38.

opinion, a quiet game at thd bowls club. Dodig spec miracles! Good

:25:39.:25:48.
