Star date: 30th August 2014

SALFORD PEOPLE URGED TO JOIN ANTI GOVERNMENT MARCH

Austerity Wrecks Lives March and Rally
Saturday 6th September 11am-1:30pm
Castlefield Arena, Manchester

Salford trade unionists, campaigners and anyone from the community who does not agree with ConDem Government policies that are hitting the poorest in society are being urging to join an Austerity Wrecks Lives march and rally next Saturday 6th September. The event is being backed by the TUC and a host of local trade unions.

Full details here...


Next Saturday, 6th September, there's an Austerity Wrecks Lives march around Manchester, followed by a rally, in opposition to ConDem Government policies.

"Since 2010 the cuts the Tories have forced on us have been hurting the most vulnerable and poorest in our society" states public sector trade union UNISON "What makes it worse is that their policies aren't about fixing the economy. We know that simply because it isn't fixed.

"`Austerity' is part of an ideology; the selfish greedy ideology of the Tories - an ideology that supports the rich and the privileged at the expense of the rest of us" it adds "This Tory led Government has changed the law to stop political protest in the run up to the general election next year. That means that this autumn will see some of our last chances to stand up together and tell them what we think: to say that, come the election, the Tories have to go. Join the march and rally in Manchester and let them know we don't believe their lies and we don't believe in their austerity policies."

A statement by another public sector trade union, PCS, adds "We've all had enough of austerity and the Con-Dem Coalition. Join the march and rally in Manchester and let's tell them what we think of them and what we think of their austerity policies."

The march and rally is being backed by the TUC in the North West and a host of trade unions including North West UNISON, NUT, UCU, UCATT, GMB, Unite the union, FBU, NASUWT and CWU. Many Salford trade union branches and anti-cuts campaigns will also be represented on the march.

Yes Bernard, the nasty Tory party made the awfully nice salford Labour council spend all that £22million on salford reds, £13million on a fountain, £13million on peel holdings etc, at a time when the national Labour Party bankrupted the country, remember Bernard this labour council has just given hundreds of thousands £££s to salford reds at a time when you keep insisting this council is broke due to the Tories austerity cutbacks. THOSE NASTY TORIE'S

How can it be the council that are CAUSING the cutbacks???!!! The council only MAKE the cutbacks which are forced on them by the Tory government! No surprise that Tory run councils have had the least reduction in funding as opposed to labour councils! say what you like about labour but if we get another Tory government we are even more screwed!

It's the government at fault. You can blame the Tory lite Labour Party for all you like, but it's the nasty party in power, the nasty party making cuts, they hold the purse strings.

What a load of leftwing socialist crap, especially when we know it is labour that is causing the cutbacks in salford. Are these the same unions that are going on strike for pay in the salford council when people are losing their jobs on the buses, typical unionists brain dead and out of touch

SALFORD STAR – 15 YEARS OF ATTITUDE AND LOVE XXX

The Salford Star closes tonight after 15 years of giving the community a voice, holding power to account and bigging up all the great things that have happened in the city.

Thousands of people in Salford have been involved in one way or another with the Star and we'd like to thank them all. Salford is a very special city and, hopefully, we've given it a very special community publication.

Here, Guy Griffiths, now living in 'sunny' north Wales and one of the main inspirations for the Salford Star's creation, writes the second part his own personal view of the Government project that devastated communities throughout Central Salford.
