'OVERPAID': BNP attack Salford mayor

By Robbie Gill

A stinging tirade is being launched by the BNP as the party slams Salford City Council for money-saving projects while their senior members are still overpaid.

Gary Tumlty attacked ‘stupid ventures’ like asylum seeker week, slammed NHS translation services and branded Salford City Council’s Chief Executive Barbara Spicer and Mayor Ian Stewart greedy.

In a controversial interview with MM Mr Tumulty spoke out about a range of social issues and presented the BNP line.

With housing policy already causing problems in Salford with an upcoming bedroom tax and a landlord licensing scheme, Mr Tumulty was keen to suggest different measures.

He said: “Our policy on housing in Salford is 'Local Houses for Local People' this is one of the most commonly discussed problems with us in Salford.

“There is an unfair bidding system which favours some people before others, scrap the bidding systems and get back to allocating house fairly.”

The unsavourily undertones were present in every response, after demanding that NHS ‘pen-pushers’ take pay reductions to avoid cuts to frontline services – he then attacked translation in the NHS.

He said: “Interpretation and translations services for consultations are eating a massive hole in the budget it must stop.

“If people need translation services, unless British indigenous languages, they must pay for it themselves.”

As well as the attack on a valuable service for those who need it there was also a thinly veiled attack on education policy.

When asked about the BNP’s alternative to cut backs in schools Mr Tumulty said that the BNP favoured a system of educating ‘our own’ British children, further indication of their controversial party policies.

However, under the hate, there are some hints of the BNP touching on issues that would appeal to some people, although when they do it is usually laced with hidden motives.

While the high wages of many council workers is a contentious issue that would rile many residents of Salford, they seem to use it as a precursor to more unnerving beliefs.

Mr Tumulty said: “Over paying chief executives such as Barbara Spicer who is paid well over £200,000, greedy councillors claiming 'special expenses' and an over paid mayor, Ian Stewart on £69,000.

“He then appoints a further 13 'assistants', jobs for the boys, to do his job, costing in the region of £3,000 extra each.

“The council must stop wasting money and place back into the communities, remember Salford belongs to the people not the authority's or people running it namely Labour.”

Any hint of rational views and a connection with normal people is short lived however and Mr Tumulty is soon back to pushing the dangerous underlying themes of BNP policy.

When questioned about the claims in the BNP manifesto that British people freedom is becoming limited by the EU Mr Tumulty gave a questionable response.

He said: “Well when you have bureaucrats who no one voted for in the EU dictating how the country is to be run, and what rules we must abide by, there really is no freedom, that's called fascism.

“It’s time to control our own country and withdraw its membership of the EU, I will also add that it costs around £57million pounds a day being in there.

“We can’t afford it and it is time to call a referendum and leave.”

Well said Gary. The recent census results have proved the BNP to right once again. It is the politicians and media that have jointly brought our country to it's knees. The politicians have committed treason and the media have been complicit in this by failing to report correctly and in a balanced manner.

Nick Griffin rarely visits the area? Absolute tosh. I suspect you must have your head buried up your arse if you claim Mr Griffin never visits the area. I know from personal experienc, I am former BNPdeputy organiser in Salford, that Mr Griffin has visited the NW on numerous occasions, even laying a wreath at Salford cenotaph, much to the discomfort of the liebour traitors Blears and co.

Mr Gill, do you think people

Mr Gill, do you think people read these news articles for your opinion?
Terrible journalism, 2/10, must try harder.

WONT BE MUCH LONGER BEFORE

WONT BE MUCH LONGER BEFORE THIS PAPER IS ALSO BANKRUPT.

At least Gary Tumulty has the

At least Gary Tumulty has the balls to say it which is more than most people will, including you Mr Gill. Maybe if more people stood up for what they believed in, there wouldn't be so much corruption in the government, we wouldn't still be in the EU and we certainly wouldn't be putting immigrants ahead of our own people for housing, medical care and benefits and so on.

This once great country who fought wars to protect the British from fascist dictators has become a country full of spineless wimps unable to stand up to this fascist government who bow to the whims of the EU. those who dare to exercise their right of free speech is put in prison on the all-encompassing charge of "racism". Just because they don't like what you say, they call you a racist, not because you have said anything vaguely racist. Who speaks out against this trumped up charge that does nothing but take away your right to speak? ONLY THE BNP!

It’s “unsavory”. Where were you edjumacted?

I feel that this is not an impartial document. You need to run a spell checker also.

Good heavens, interview an

Good heavens, interview an idiot and you get idiocies. Well, the BNP is a busted flush and Salford appears to be one of a small number of places where it still exists, so let him rave on - nobody is listening.

Robbie Gill, why have you

Robbie Gill, why have you taken the same weary, tiresome road as the rest of the mainstream media in putting your own biased slant on Mr Tumulty's comments. Examples such as 'unsavoury undertones', 'thinly veiled attack', 'however under the hate' etc etc are really your own reflections obviously drummed into you by the NUJ, other beardy student types over a fair trade coffee in the Uni canteen etc. Why could'nt you have done the bold thing such as being 'IMPARTIAL', remember that word? and let the readers decide! Unless they all can't lift their knuckles off the floor maybe? Get some balls and do some proper journalism instead of following the usual rabble.

It's a shame that poor

It's a shame that poor reporting like this shows the impartiality of the reporter quite so blatantly. Words like 'undertones' and 'hate' are meaningless if you don't explain why you say them. Maybe you can't justify their use and they're just an 'opinion', in which case the article should make clear that it's 'opinion' and not 'impartial reporting'.

Mr Gill. May I ask why you

Mr Gill.

May I ask why you assume that standing up for our own people, who have paid into the system all of their working lives, means that we 'hate' other people? Shouldn't your articles be impartial?

We don't hate anyone. On the contrary; we are demonised because we care for our own people and we speak out against the way English, Welsh, Scottish and Irish people are put to the back of the queue, every time, while Johnny Foreigner is cared for.

BTW have you googled Labour25 yet and if not, why not?

Is there something you don't want to mention - that 25 + 15 = 40 Labour Party officials have been CONVICTED of paedophilia (that's child molestation and rape).

Why aren't you informing your readers of THIS?! Are they friends of yours? Several of these people were teachers, school governors and Lord Mayors; THIS IS THE REAL NEWS that you should be reporting.

A few weeks ago, the Liverpool Echo reported that their Labour Party Mayor, Joe Anderson, tipped-off his paedophile friend, that his home was about to be raided by Merseyside Police, in search of child pornography. Yet another Labour Party official protecting paedo’s!

Reading that article, it

Reading that article, it sounds to me that it is the Council's decisions that are unsavoury and dangerous. does Mr. Gill approve of wasting taxpayers' money then?

I'M VOTING BNP!
