You know I just can't believe what the fools of this country have done. I'm staggered. The Tories have brilliantly broken Labour purely through BREXIT, appealing to the low paid and the ordinary, by making out that once Britain's out of the EU, life will be sweet. I cannot believe it. Don't these morons who somehow think that by being out of the EU we're going to go back to the halcyon days of the good old British Empire realise that once out of the EU things are going to go tits up? That with a big majority BOJO can get rid of the minimum wage and pare the Welfare State down to the bone, and all the people getting ESA and PIP, don't they realise that medicals will get much more difficult to pass ... That the prices of things will increase markedly in the shops, and that you won't have freedom of movement to travel in Europe. It works both ways, you might soon have to get a visa to travel to the EU once we leave Europe. To top it all off, Boris knows that even though Labour constantly hammered him over his plans for the Sacred Relic that is the NHS, the voters have given him a big majority, so he, a liar and a shallow bastard by nature, will take this as a licence to do what he wants ... Which is to dismantle the NHS. People of Britain, when it all starts happening, don't whine and complain ... You will reap what you have sewn.

The people have spoken, and the people have got what they want, but just like a fool who marries in haste, the majority of the people will now get to repent in leisure. This is the way it is. I don't know, maybe I'm just a remarkably intelligent guy. After all, I can see it and millions of Muppets can't. Life will get much, much worse for the majority of the UK'S citizens as on Friday the 13th of December, 2019. Johnson and his cabal of MP's in his cabinet are the most right wing ever, true Children of Thatcher. Johnson himself is a populist, in the mould of Captain Tango on the other side of the pond. Things can only get worst. But the Muppets will get what they deserve. Which will be : More poverty. More homelessness. More crime, much of which will go unrecorded. An American style Benefits system. An NHS that will be passed on to the Americans so that their medical companies can profit from it, at our expense. Workers rights being eroded, and taken back in time to the fifties. Probably an end to the minimum wage, as business can't afford it. Yeah, it's going to be dreadful, but the Markets will like it, as there's always some more blood that can be squeezed out of a stone, in the 'righteous' pursuit of profit. And the people who created the worldwide financial crisis a decade ago will like it. Those Gonks earning millions of pounds per year, and seeing themselves as Masters of the Universe will like it ... They'll be shooting their combined loads at the very thought of it ...

Please, please the last thing we want is Miss Becky as leader. she cannot even reply to emails or letters addressed to her. She would be the Fourth Labour leader nobody liked as would lose the Next Election for sure.

Bumper numbers voting in Worsley, just hope enough vote to get rid of Karl Corbyn and the useless Babs Keeley. Though if they win we get the comedy value of Diane Abbottcuss on our telly box screens more often.

Oh such a promising set of exit polls. Let's hope Babs and Miss Becky are in the line at Eccles job centre come Monday.

Bob the regular, I'm worried that you are developing a serious obsession with MS.Long-Bailey! Does the idea of "rampant valkyries ","float your boat (if you get my Wagnarian conceit!")

Well it's coming up to 2pm as i write this. Bookies care of Oddschecker say Tory majority 2/5. Pollsters care of Britain Elects poll of polls say Tories ahead by 9 points. But does any one believe EXPERTS anymore !!! It's cold and it's chucking it down . Will Workington (or is Bassetlaw now) man prevail or will we have a yoofquake!!. Uncertainty still prevails and no one really knows what's going on. Do they? But that's another country isn't it. In Salfordia we already know the result. It's apathy by a landslide.

Maybe now we will get less of the whining from contributors here about Brexit, while shamefully the voters of Salford have not taken the chance to get rid of our Labour shackles but have unanimously shown that we REALLY do want to get out of Europe by the gains of the Brexit party (7.2% & 8.5% % 7.1%)

Here's my prediction.A hung parliament , Boris and Steptoe fired ,(the good news), followed by Miss Becky "reluctantly" forced into no 10 leading the Harridans Alliance. While its easy to see the hatred the two scottish ones have for Boris, the key one will be the Irish one.Boris has really pissed in her handbag and she is very cross with him. Her crew hate steptoe, he has not got a chance with them. So that's what will put Miss Becky in power. Lets hope she does a bit of good for us when she gets there. I think she might. Good luck Becky, you're gonna need it.

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.
