On Wednesday evening the people of Manchester, Salford and elsewhere will be showing their feelings after George Osborne announces his budget, expected to bring another £12billion of cuts to welfare, social housing, public services and more.

After the General Election results in which no Tories were elected in Salford or Manchester the People's Assembly is refusing to accept the Government's cuts, instead inviting everyone to bring their own budgets to a protest, starting at 5pm outside Boots at the bottom of Market Street in Manchester.

"When George Osborne announces where the £12billion cuts will fall he will consign millions more people to poverty, hopelessness and a gruelling fight for survival" states the Manchester People's Assembly "The People's Assembly will be on the streets throughout the country, and in Manchester we will announce a budget for the people loud and clear on the street.

"We invite our supporters to bring their budgets announcing a decent living wage, social housing for all who need it, an end to privatisation and much more" it adds "We protest our anger at the broken democracy that allows this Government to wreck the lives of people who did not vote for it. We will hold a loud and lively street meeting..."

Hi Allan and Alice, you would do well to watch the SkyTV move showing at present called The Riot Club. The story is based on a Private Snobs Boys Club at Oxford called Bullingdon where University members included Mr Cameron, Osborn and Boris Johnson. Then realise the decisions by High Rank Tories does not give a toss about we lesser mortals. I think the word Bully is a good reflection of The Bullington Club. Best watch my back in saying such outrageous comment, but if the cap fits let's have honesty.

It is ironic that on Wed, the day George Osborne is announcing more cuts to our Welfare Society, there will be a talk at the Working Class Movement Library, in Salford, on the origins and aims of the Welfare State set up in 1945. As we hear of these cuts to the aims of the Welfare State, the people of Manchester and Salford, who never voted for a Tory MP or a Tory Councillor, will express their anger in the centre of Manchester. The Welfare State set this country on a moral road to become a caring civilised society. The current Government policy attacks this aim. It takes courage to protest but it is essential if we wish to keep our Welare State. Be there . 5pm Market Street and 2pm Working Class Movement Library. Wednesday.

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.

SALFORD STAR CLOSURE – GUY GRIFFITHS ON THE HUMAN COST OF PATHFINDER DEMOLITIONS

Star date: 16th May 2021

THE HUMAN COST OF REGENERATION

The Griffiths brothers of Higher Broughton are kind of infamous as the only people to be forcefully evicted from their house as part of the Pathfinder 'housing market renewal' project during the first decade of the 21st Century.

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.
