Real Salfordian, You wanna dance, you wanna put up your dukes? I knows I can take you ... oh and buy the way, I was near Tesco's yesterday, and there was a nutjob with a small megaphone and a placard about SAVING THE NHS! She was one of those Socialist nutjobs. Was she, by any chance your mother? Ranting away like a David Icke fan who's also overdosed on Das Kapital. The kind of nutjob who's a mate of Ray of Sunshine's and probably still sings the red flag every night before popping off to bed. Anyway Numpty, I stand by "Everyting" I said. We need to build up Herd Immunity. It is the only way forward. And now I'm off to Poundland to buy a couple of quids worth of Cheetos and a cheap dvd.

Wrote, You might be sick of hearing my crap, No Mark, but what I say is true, not an opinion, and that is FACT. Fact is, all I do is speak Facts. More than that, people agree with me as they know TRUTH when they read it. You, you're a coward. You daren't even use your real name, instead, you skulk, like a snake in the grass. Me, I'm honest, I'm Phil Giuseppie Rossi from Magnolia Court. So you carry on sniping, Mr Coward, and while you're at it, try using some punctuation, so that your badly written diatribes make some sense. Me, all that I do is talk sense, and the readership love me for it. And Covid? We must collectively fight it, building up herd immunity. It is the only way .... The way that it has been since our ancestors were running around the African Veldt naked, hunting Wildebeest, and getting eaten by lions and crocodiles. One last thing, People. "UNITY!!!!"

@howard you are correct, everyone is being tested now which is why there is an increase, most people don’t even know they have it at all. An actor died the other day, press reported he died of COVID because he tested positive the day before he died. His family said he’d had a heart attack. Was this a covid death? No. Bobby Ball died aged 76, of covid, again, take his age, weight and underlying health conditions into account, and the common flu may have killed him. It’s sad but very true. People die each day but now every death is ‘COVID’. It’s just easier for them to say that, and keeps everyone in fear.

I'm tired of saying this, but say it again I must. Don't worry about covid. It's just one of those things. So long as you're not over 80, and are not an obese citizen, then chances are you'll be alright. My advice to my fellow Salfordians is this. Try not watching the news for a week or reading about covid in the online papers ... Then during that week go out, and be mindful ... and while you're being mindful, look around and make some observations ... observations such as, is what I am personally witnessing, tallying with the media scare stories? Just stop panicking, people. By all means wear a mask, and sanitize your hands fifty times per day ... you're even free to be like those motorists who wear a mask when there is only themself in their car .... but just stop panicking. Take some heart from the late, the great Nick Ross, Crimewatch UK host, who used to end every monthly show by telling the morbid bastards who enjoyed watching murder reconstructions to - not have nightmares.

As we are getting so many cases recorded each day it would be nice to know where all these cases are coming from. If we know places where they are coming from then we can avoid them but if we do not know then we cannot. It seems to me that the more we wear masks the worse it gets. Look at other countries.

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.

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.
