ANTI-BREXIT BILLBOARD APPEARS IN SALFORD
 

Star date: 25th March 2019

LED BY DONKEYS BILLBOARD ON CLAREMONT ROAD

Anti-Brexit campaigners, Led By Donkeys, have erected a billboard on Claremont Road featuring a quote by Economists For Brexit stating that the car industry is going to have to be 'run down' in the event of Brexit, like the steel and coal industries... 'These things happen'.

Full details here...


To coincide with the march of over one million people in London at the weekend demanding a 'People's Vote' on Brexit, the anti-Brexit Led By Donkeys campaign group has erected a billboard on Claremont Road in Salford giving out more Anti-Brexit messages.

The group, founded by four dads in January, is an entirely crowdfunded grassroots campaign which takes the historic Brexit pronouncements of political leaders, turns them into tweets and puts them on large billboards across the nation.

The Salford board gives a quote by Patrick Minford, leading voice of Economists For Brexit... "You are going to have run it down (the car industry)...in the same way we ran down the coal and steel industries. These things happen..."

Similar boards are on display in Rochdale and Manchester, with Manc one featuring a quote from Andrea Leadsom and Economists for Brexit, who said that "Over time, if we left the EU, it seems likely that we would mostly eliminate manufacturing…".

It's also the same organisation that is currently following Nigel Farage's ill-fated March To Leave with one advertising van displaying what it calls "the lies and hypocrisies of Nigel Farage", and another 'repurposed' to search for Farage in London after he 'bailed out' of his own march.

Has anyone been following the recent controversy over the Chinese Telecoms Company,Huawei and the introduction of 5G Telephony in Britain? It sheds an interesting insight on the true motivations/true interests of prominent Tory Brexiteers,such as Johnstone,Raab and Javid. In the course of laying out their programme to the Tory Herenvolk,the Tory Brexiteers who make so much hypocritical prattle about sic,"defending Britain's national interests",in the same breath promise to capitulate to American demands that Britain excludes Huawei from supplying equipment necessary for implementing 5G in Britain. In reality,the Tory Brexiteer Likely Lads have publicly declared that they "are prepared to take it up the arse for Donald!" Just goes to show that if you scratch the surface of a Brexiteer you'll find a cringing lackey of US Imperialism!

There was interesting analysis in yesterday's Observer about the typical Brexit Party Supporter. Apparently they are " Left" on issues of economic justice and "Right" on social matters! Regardless of the promises of Farage,there is no way,socially speaking,that the clock can be turned back. Social modernisation,including migration,is part and parcel of living in a modern economy. The Brexit Party is peddling reactionary fairy tales that can never be delivered!

Elvis,why is that during the Referendum,Borris Johnstone categorically denied,yes,denied that Brexit meant that Britain would leave the Single European Market?? Fact is Brexiteers have all along had a hidden right wing,anti worker agenda. People need to wise up and fast!

I can't understand why Leave voters only read one or two newspapers? I'm trying to read as much as I can, from international news to economists' reports, trying to understand what's happening to our country. I've even ploughed through some of ERG's analyses. It's difficult to have a sensible argument when I read so many Leave comments that are either illogical or based on misinformation.

We have already endured 11 years of Tory austerity. Another 5 to 10 years to sort out our Country and bring accountability back is a small price to pay. We knew this when we voted Leave, yet now the swine who had no qualms about enforcing austerity onto us, have a pang of conscience about another 5 to 10 years of upset (read reorganising our economy so it doesnt just benefit them), and as such overules your democratic voice and instruction. Be angry, be very, very angry This poster is probably funded by a George Soros NGO. They want to overturn your vote. Dont let them

it's amazing that socialists support a political union which favours corporates over the individual. Amazing that socialists who talk about European solidarity watch the Greeks burn to save German and French bondholders Amazing that socialists who talk about taxing bug companies support a union that makes tax avoidance simple and whose leaders actively support aggressive tax positions of big corporates Amazing that socialists support a union that drives privatisation of state assets. Amazing that socialists support a union that shut down the Greek banks to ensure the socialist agenda and rejection of austerity backed by the Greek population was reversed. It's so ironic it's bizarre.

Mike Skeffington "What happens if a second vote is 51 to 49 to remain, do we have a third vote?" I suggest you go and read what Nigel Farage said about such a situation.

There would need to be 17,000,000+ of these boards to reach a significant number. Why are people such bitter losers? You had your vote and you lost, get over it you halfwits.

Don't even bother with a second referendum, just revoke Article 50 directly and forget this whole sorry nonsense ever happened. Let the gammons rage all they want, they are all idiots and hence their opinions are worthless.

The people had a vote and voted to leave, this decision should be honoured we have nothing to fear by leaving. This is an attempt to erode democracy. What happens if a second vote is 51 to 49 to remain, do we have a third vote? Leave means leave.

"run down' in the event of Brexit, like the steel and coal industries..". for their information our Industries only run down after we joined the EU. Within months of joining, shipping,mining and steel all went abroad. Now the Stock exchange and Banking will be transferred to Germany in two years,costing thousands of UK jobs.

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.
