Athens Square it may not be, but outside Salford Civic Centre tomorrow (Wednesday) there will be a show of solidarity with Greece, as George Osborne announces more austerity measures in the UK...

"We can expect further cuts to public services, attacks on welfare and tax breaks for the rich" says Paul Gerrard, Chair of Salford Against The Cuts which has organised the protest "At the same time, the people of Greece will no doubt be continuing their magnificent struggle against the sort of austerity that Obsorne expects us to swallow for the next five years.
 
"In protest at the Tory Budget and in solidarity with the people of Greece, we are inviting you to join us outside the main entrance of Salford Civic Centre in Swinton at 12pm on Wednesday" he adds "We will be carrying `OXI' placards and letting everybody know that Salfordians - like Greeks - have had enough and are fighting back against austerity."

Hi "the end" - you are correct and I recommend Oxford University. Now making me the most qualified to lead Salford Council, Bu for now I want to advance LGBT's rights and to speed up the NO to EU campaign as Queen EU (Ethol-Ugly). Power to Local People I learnt most to be the best way forward, all together, at Oxford.

The Greeks hav'nt voted against austerity, they have voted against political control and domination from the EU. They want to decide what is best for them, like many in this country want, unfortunately in the UK anybody talking like the Greeks just gets labled a right wing UKIP nutter. I might just look into these "UKIP nutters" our European friends in Greece might just have something there.

Hi LikeisLoud, the problem in Greece is not the 9.8 million ordinary citizens that are suffering now for the dirty tricks of the small minority that abused a massive volume of loans wrongly lent to Greece by a high interest rate profit taking EU banking system. While my Local Government Management Qualifications at Oxford University taught me to listen and learn it did not change my view that the EU is not fit for Salford. We would be the prosperous City outside the grips of the EU. At Gay Pride as Pride Queen EU this year I will promote an OUT Vote from the EU. Social Justice deserves us to improve Salford for a future generation. Greece proves that is not within EU.

My, my. Michael talking sense for once and especially about the eu, the only bent and corrupt basterds that make our own bent and corrupt basterds in parliament look like novices, whoops nearly said noncies and there's none of them in parliament are there. Let's hope we're seeing the death throws of the fascist European Union that no body voted for, well done to Greece for showing the rest of Europe what a set of balls looks like and telling that German merkel to f*ck off

Hang on didn't Greece cause this themselves by tax evations on a massive scale and borrowing left right and centre and not paying anything back. Leaving the EU is disaster no one will want to trade with us.

My Management Qualification from Oxford University tells me the Tories are wrong on this one. Why do those Tories that went to Oxford and Labour Leaders that went to Cambridge not see the light. I become more disillusioned with Tory and Labour leaders with their heads in the sand. We need to leave the EU as a first step towards reclaiming our borders and begin putting our UK future ahead of EU banker profits. We do not need to neglect our vulnerable, our young or families or senior citizens. We are a rich land and can afford to care much more.

SALFORD STAR CLOSES AFTER 15 YEARS WITH ATTITUDE AND LOVE XXX

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.
