MEDIA BEGINS ATTACKS ON SALFORD MP REBECCA LONG BAILEY
 

Star date: 23rd December 2019

MEDIA BEGINS KICKING FAVOURITE FOR LABOUR PARTY LEADERSHIP

As Salford and Eccles MP Rebecca Long-Bailey is installed as favourite to replace Jeremy Corbyn as Labour Party leader, desperate character assassinations have already started in the mainstream media.

The media agenda is clear, complete with out of context quotes and attacks on those around the Salford MP.

Full details here...

Aha! Rebecca Long-Bailey wants to rule the party with an 'iron fist' screamed yesterday's Telegraph! Rebecca Long Bailey 'trades prolier-than-thou porkies', squealed The Times! Rebecca Long Bailey 'appoints a STALINIST to run her Labour leadership campaign' slurped the Mail!

With the General Election barely more than a week old the claws are out for the Salford MP who really hasn't put a foot wrong as far as Salford is concerned. She has supported campaigns against austerity in the city, against academies, against the threatened closure of the five outstanding council run nurseries, and for the dangerous cladding to be sorted out in Pendleton.

At the General Election, Rebecca Long-Bailey was reinstated as the MP for Salford and Eccles with a huge 16,327 majority, which would seem to suggest that Salford people agreed she was doing a good job for the city.

On a professional level of standing up for constituents and against toxic Tory Party policies Rebecca Long-Bailey cannot really be faulted – but the media's straw grasping has made headlines.

On Saturday, for instance, the search 'Alex Halligan Rebecca Long Bailey' was actually trending on Google. The crime, according to the Mail? Halligan "was pictured in 2017 wearing a badge with the words 'Good night Trotskyite' and an image of a man wielding an ice pick at another man, a reference to the assassination of Leon Trotsky".

As we all know, the Mail is a massive friend of all Trotskyites! If Halligan - who works in Rebecca Long-Bailey's office and is helping her leadership campaign according to reports - would have been wearing a pro-Trotsky badge the Mail would have been pointing the finger at him for that too.

Now, Alex Halligan is no friend of the Salford Star...well not since he leaked a tape of a secret Hazel Blears expenses meeting to us back in the day but then went on to back the new Ian Stewart/Paul Dennett-led regime in the city...but him wearing a stupid badge two years ago is hardly front page news.

And if the media wants to have a go at 'Stalinists' in the Labour Party, it needs to look no further than almost every single councillor in the city who has helped block transparency and uses full Council meetings as showboating political orgies rather than any real attempt at accountability.

The Telegraph actually used a Salford Star interview with Rebecca Long-Bailey from 2105, before she'd even been elected MP, to darken her character, running the headline yesterday "Labour leadership frontrunner Rebecca Long-Bailey said she would like to rule party with 'iron fist'''...

This was taken from a very long interview we did, funnily enough, discussing accountability and the lack of openness from Salford City Council which, at the time hadn't spoken to the Star for two years (make that six years now!)...

Salford Star: There is no accountability in this city....
RLB: [silence]

SS: So what are your views on that?
RLB: It's up to councillors and politicians to be accountable...

SS: But they're not...
RLB: And to liaise with the press...
SS: But they're not...And they're your party...
RLB: I can't rule it with an iron fist, much as I'd love to...

It was about forcing the buggers in Salford to speak to the press, not ruling the national Labour Party in some weird Stalinist way!

Unfortunately, since that interview and others where Rebecca Long-Bailey promised to speak to the Star and the press, she's fallen in line with the Salford City Mayor, Paul Dennett and other Labour Party councillors in blanking this publication – despite almost no criticism since she was first elected. If anything that shows a weak character, not an 'iron fist'!

And then there's those 'prolier-than-thou porkies' revealed in The Times, which quoted the Salford MP stating that her dad 'worked on the Salford docks and I grew up watching him worrying when round after round of redundancies were inflicted on the docks.' The Times pointed out that Rebecca would have been two years old when the docks shut in 1982, and therefore couldn't have 'grown up worrying about redundancies'.

As she told the Salford Star back in 2015, "My dad worked for Shell unloading oil from the tankers". This, the Star understands, would have been at Carrington, which was functioning after the docks closed. Not strictly Salford Docks but just down the road.

Whatevs. The point is that the mainstream media is desperate to slur anyone connected to Jeremy Corbyn and his conviction left wing politics, especially someone who has a chance of continuing his legacy.

The witch hunt and smears that permeated the General Election have not gone away – and won't, while the agenda of the mainstream media remains to stop any redistribution of wealth, and anyone who might want to attempt it.

Let's be straight here. The Salford Labour Party and its MPs are no friend of the fiercely independent Salford Star. Indeed this publication has been slurred and accused of everything by those Labour Party apparatchiks who no doubt are currently squealing 'unfair' at the mainstream media*. But Rebecca Long-Bailey stands somewhere in the middle.

Is it a crime to want to lead the Labour Party to fight for a more fair and equal society? Those with the most to lose certainly seem to think so.

I was watching “The (Lord – if he isn’t, he should be!) Andrew Neil Show” this evening, in the privacy of my apartment at the Salford Maximum Security Twilight Home for Bewildered Geriatric Politicians (rated as “Outstanding” by the CQC), using my Bluetooth headphones in case Matron overheard. As we all know, (Lord) Andrew Neil doesn’t take prisoners! I fell asleep during (Sir – “I wish I wasn’t”) Kier Stammers interview. Well, he is apparently known as “Sedative” Stammer amongst the more progressive and leftist member of the Labour Party. Anyway, I digress. I am allowed to do so, after all I am a Senior Citizen. Whilst watching “Ar Becky’s” performance, strains of Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber’s “Evita” started to waft through my mind, reminding me of Madonna’s performance in “Evita”. The hand motions, hair strokes etc added to the illusion when she sang on the balcony of the Casa Rosada. (Oh, the RED House? Well, almost! That’s a coincidence!”) Even the strain of facing (Lord) Andrew Neil showed in the same way! It won't be easy, you'll think it strange When I try to explain how I feel That I still need your votes after all I've denied You won't believe me All you will see is an MP you once knew Although she's dressed up to the nines At sixes and sevens with you I couldn’t let it happen, I couldn’t change Standing here on my six inch heels Looking out from the stage, praising Jeremy Corbyn So I chose stasis Running around, not trying anything new, I had the ideas and drove the agenda But nothing impressed you at all I never expected it to! Don't cry for me red-blooded Labour The truth is I never left you All through my solicitor days My mad existence I kept my promise Don't keep your distance And as for PFIs, and as for fame I never wanted them in Though it seemed to the world they were all Labour desired They are illusions They are not the solutions they promised to be The answer was here all the time I love you and hope you’ll vote for me Don't cry for me Mr Corbyn Don't cry for me Momentum The truth is I never left you All through my wild days My mad existence I kept my promise Don't keep your distance Have I said too much? (Yes you have – you‘ve shot yourself in the (Michael) Foot There's nothing more I can think of to say to you. But all you have to do is look at me to know That every word is true (Fingers crossed). Oh dear!!

Silly old Councillor RayofSunshine he must be spitting feathers realising he self outed himself as homophobic. Latest sees him ridiculing the unfortunate poor and homeless with a panhandling jibe at decent citizen Rossi. No wonder Salford City Council is on its knees with Labour activist twisted minds running the show. I have never voted Tory but if Mr Felse stands for Mayor he gets my vote. If RayofBullying carries on spreading the abuse I could even find myself joining the Tory Party. Not joking. Why is our MP not condemning Salford Labour cruel, homophobic and homeless attacks. What does that say about the next leader of the Labour Party.

However,I concur with your assessment of Felse as a deluded narcissist who can't distinguish truth from lies! It's obvious to me that given his abject failure electorally in Salford,Felse is trying to buy a seat on the council,i.e,his blatantly corrupt proposal to by voters via selling off shares in Manchester Airport. His real animus against Labour is that it allows the working class to exercise political power,whilst self-entitled wankers,like himself

Rayofsunshine thought his hard hitting words would bolster up the LongBaily campaign. The polls show it has had the opposite effect putting her bottom. Everyone is turning off Labour after disgusting attacks by extreme left wingers. Rayofsunshine is not going away because evil nastyness is at his core. Glad he has sent her to the bottom.

Ray’s the typical Labourite now, the overly aggressive momentum type who spews “F**k off and join the Tories!” Or “You’re a racist/bigot!” where it just isn’t warranted. Ray will no doubt come back with “I fight the right!” Where what he’s actually doing is throwing around the same old “It’s the Tories fault!/Racist!Far-Right!” to try and shout down people who make legitimate political points or legitimately ridicule/hold to account Labour politicians. Keep it up Ray, it’s that kind of attitude that lost your party 3 elections, keeps reducing your Labour candidates the share of the vote and created a ‘blue wall’ in northern Labour heartlands. You never learn. You need to reply to any political point validly, not shouting people down or accusing others of being Tories. It’s lazy and ineffectual.

In 2016,during the EU Referendum,he deliberately stoked anti Refugee feeling. It's time this Mincing Mussolini is driven out of Salford - no platform for Sociopath Felse!

Ray has gone to far this time. His homo-phobic comments about Mr Felse are very out of order,and no doubt cause offence to all members of the LGB GT. community including prominent people like our Mayor. I suspect that this abuse stems from the fact that Ray is envious of the fact that Mr Felse, it now emerges,, is a wealthy man, and he Ray, is potless. I believe ,that although this was an offensive post, the editor was right to print it, as it shows Ray's true character.

Miss Becky is a follower not a leader. Corbyn was an eccentric, like that hippy vegetarian dickhead in the movie, Scum. Thornberry is patrician in her outlook on the working class. The only person capable of leading Labour to victory is KEIR STARMER. For this reason alone, I as a retired Socialist, a man who has seen the light, want Miss Becky to be elected leader of Labour. With that pinhead in charge the UK will have only three political parties of any influence. The Conservative Party, the resurgent Liberal Democrats, and the Scottish National Party. I must say that I'm glad that Ray has returned to his natural habitat, the comments page of the Star. Although I find his animosity towards Mr Felse to be motivated purely by envy. After all, Michael is a well to do working class boy made good, just like DJB. Finally, I just want to say Thank you Boris, for keeping your word and freeing us from the tyranny of the European Union. We are free. Free at last. Oh happy days, we ARE FREE AT LAST! 🤗

What does Michael J.Felse's partner see when he looks across the breakfast table in the morning? The visage of a bitter and broken "man";all he has to show for decades of opportunism and lies is an uneventful gig as a barely sentient councillor in Doncaster. If he was merely a deluded egoist,then Michael J.Felse would warrant pity,not censure! However,there is real evil at the heart of Felse"s power lust- to put it starkly,Felse is a political whore! Felse has bent over time-and-time again and taken it up the arse for his far right mates. In exchange.Felse gets his moment in the sun and his cab fare home. All is fair gain,for Poundland Caesar,Felse;he hopes that all the applause and faint praise will fill the void within! It is significant that Felse posits the cynical and brain dead politics of Haroĺd Wilson as a model for praise and emulation. Remember,it was from this cesspit,Wilsonian Politics,that serial paedophile, Cyril Smith

Well, we all know our Ray is back, but where has he been the last few weeks? Perhaps he has been helping Miss Becky with her leadership bid and been too busy to deal with us moron dissidents. If that's the case, his having a bit of spare time now could indicate that Miss Becky is winding down a bit, and just going through the motions after throwing the towel in to starmer. Hope not, Starmer is a slimey two faced turd, and as for the other one, bossy knockers thornberry, well ,she likes working class blokes less than Thatcher did. If Miss Becky wins, the tory gutter press will leave no stone unturned in Salford. It will be like when Deggsie was at his peak in Liverpool, or red Ted in Lambeth.

Ray of Sunshine, you say that socialism is like the sweetest of fragrances ... More like the most noxious of smells. Socialism is an evil that is finally being eradicated from the face of the planet Earth. We, The People are finally getting to grips with you soul destroying wasters. I predict that within twenty years socialism will be extinct as a political ideology. By then Miss Becky will have led Labour to three disastrous General Elections and will be getting ready to take up a seat in The House of Lords, otherwise known as The House of Lame Ducks. Don't shed a tear for Miss Becky though, she'll be getting a fantastic parliamentary pension, and twenty years from now about a grand for every occasion that she takes her seat at The House of lame Ducks, where she'll endeavour to do her very best to preach the by then extinct ideology of that grey bearded old tosser, Karl Marx ... and his best mate, who lived in Eccles, Engels the Mill owner.

It is not as if you have to suffer more abuse in Salford with your windfall wealth. Sure whoever stands against Labour in the May election is lining up for left wing abuse never seen before. Why not go live in a Tory City if you want to become a petty Councillor. Or go off to Wollongong and build yourself a seafront home near your Brother’s grave. What is ticking for you here Michael?

And here we have the real reason why Labour lost the General Election. RayofSunshine and Wrote give us the clearest view of today’s Socialust-Labour Party. Venumus like demented snakes. When I was Constituency Secretary and Policy Writer for Labour in the 1970s we were proud Labour. The 2020 version is nothing like then it has been taken over by extremists, the loony left, hate abuse homophobia antisemitism bullying and pisstaking abound. No wonder the many not the few are voting Conservative. Labour is dead because it failed to stop the militant momentum takeover. I thank Salford Star for running the comment threads allowing all Salford to see clearly the state of modern Labour. NOW Brexit is done the UKIP, Brexit Party and common sense people should come and join the Tory Party. In Salford these are offering hope of a prosperous post Brexit Salford.

Ray of Sunshine simply shows, for all to see, how utterly deluded he, and the rank and file members of the Labour Party are. For him to say that Socialism hasn't been responsible for a 'single human death' is absolutely breathtaking. When you couple this abrogation of truth alongside the Labour Party's hideous anti-Semitism, the only conclusion that can be made is that Labour, and their representatives, be it Miss Bekka, or Ray of Sunshine, are simply not fit for purpose. I do hope Miss bekka becomes leader of labour, as it means that Labour will become the fourth party in the UK, a fringe party of lunatics who will be way behind the Conservatives, the SNP and my new party, the Liberal Democrats. This will be wonderful news for all right thinking people. Pssssst. Keep up the good work Boris. And hurrah for Friday, when we will finally be free ... Free at last.

Retired Socialist (who never was) Socialism hasn't been proven to be behind the death of a single human being in human history. It is an indisputable fact that capitalism has been responsible for the untimely demise of many billions of people, mostly members of the lumpen proletariat, over the last several thousand years. The fact is socialism is like the most fragrant smelling rose, like the headiest and most pleasing fragrance known to humanity - and when Rebecca Long-Bailey becomes leader, first of the Labour Party, and then of the country, She, and the British Labour Party will be able to take Socialism throughout the entire world. A political revolution is brewing, and just like the Industrial Revolution, which began in the poverty stricken teeming streets of Manchester, this revolution, this twenty first century revolution, will be coming to the world from Salford. LONG LIVE SOCIALISM!LONG LIVE THE NEW FLESH!!!!

Whilst being fairĺy dispoaed to Ms Lóng Baiĺey,I'm seriously concerned by the company she's kèepìnģ-to with,thicko,ex-membeŕs of the CPGB whó think the Labour Movement owes them a living! Às a self-proçlaimed Trotskýite,I have a viscèral disĺike for bureaucratic parasitès such as Haĺĺigàn. He is narked by the fàct that Leon Trotsky is rightly sèen as "a giant of worĺd historý!" Trotskyites have cònsistently and courageously exposèd the crimés of Stalinism - the betrayal of the Rùssian Revoĺutìon,cowardice when it came to fightinģ fascism ìn Spain ànd the Nazi Soviet Pact! Haĺligan can't face the fact that his politics has lead to betrayèl after betrayel of the working class! Ms Long-Bailey shóùĺd bè more careful of the company she kèeps.

Wrote, how many people has Socialism murdered in the one hundred and sixty odd years that it has existed? Well, think about it. You have the murders commited by the National Socialists of Nazi Germany, then there's the murders of so many poor Eastern Europeans under the Soviet Union's diabolical rule. You want more? Okay, what about the fifty million killed by Chairman Mao, or the couple of million Cambodians murdered by Pol Pot and his Khmer Rouge underlings. In truth, Wrote, Socialism has probably been responsible for the murders of half a billion people - in such a relatively short time span. I'm just so glad that I woke up and smelled the coffee, and am now a liberal democrat, a citizen, not a subject; free, not a mindless party apparatchik, a soulless drone, an automaton member of the Socialist "machine". And worse, one whom believes that the pin headed Miss Bekka could ever be Prime Minister ...

retired socialist what a strange and confusing post so socialists are not human beings .i am a socialist i am working class and a human being and will not betray my class by having anything to do with a tory party which viciously kills working class people through its evil policies a list which you and the other class betrayers may soon find yourself on .

I concur with wrote, and wrote regarding Felse. Last year he was UKIP, he claims to now be Tory, though he does not have a chance of election anywhere in the UK. He claims he is going to sh*t all over Labour in the May elections, I have taken a screen shot of his bravado, as he says this year in year out, but google him and the main thing you find is his 'Manchester Pride Queen' joke stories. He is NOT taken seriously anywhere, including his feeble efforts at setting up new companies using crowdfunding. Felse accuses peopple of abuse, pointing out facts is not abuse, and if you put yourself out there as a public persona, so expect people to say things about you.

Rebecca Long Bailey got the message direct today on morning TV with Andy Burnham appearing to back Nandy or Starmer. Even the Greater Manchester fence sitter knows not to welcome Labour’s left winger. He also said Labour will not survive if they do not listen to past voters. A fact clear from Retired Socialist, no longer is the North voting for rotten, hateful, abusive. pisstaking Labour. I am invited to my union Unison’s AGM listing RLB as the guest speaker. It will be a pleasure to walk out when she starts as a clear message Labour will not survive. Why, because they have been taken over by unelectable hate riddled extremists.

Wrote, I know Rossi, he's a good kid, got a good heart, and he is a Socialist. And I was one, but am no longer fettered by the politics of class envy, and internecine backbiting that is a regular occurrence within the party that I was once a member of, and once dearly loved. And which will only get worse if the pin headed Miss Bekka obtains leadership. Which I sincerely hope that she will, as I'm no longer a Socialist, but am a human being, a Free Man, a Citizen not a Subject. P.s. Rossi's from Magnolia, I'm from Sycamore. It don't get much better, trust me.

SALFORD STAR CLOSES AFTER 15 YEARS WITH ATTITUDE AND LOVE XXX

Star date: 17th May 2021

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.
