Perhaps they can be like the Non-executive directors on Salford Royal £ 1,000 a meetings not bad.

This government has spent its entire period in office lining up the biggest offensive against the working class that Britain’s seen in a generation.

Everything that it’s done and everything that it’s said has indicated its absolute commitment to class war.

But of all signals that it has sent out, none is more worrying than its appointment of the shamed and discredited business mogul Lord Browne as its new Whitehall “super-director” charged with injecting a business ethos into the heart of government.

In his new position, Lord Browne will be instrumental in the appointment of business leaders to the new boards of every government department.

Cabinet Office Minister Francis Maude proclaimed happily that “the appointment of non-executive directors will galvanise departmental boards as forums where political and official leadership is brought together to drive up performance.”

Since when, one is driven to ask, did government departments need boards with non-executive directors?

Well said the ginger haired women we never see anymore.

The Secretary of State has said that his priorities are localism, localism and localism,” she said. “What we have seen today has given the lie to that. There has been no consultation with local government about the cuts. There has been no transparency; we do not know where £500 million of cuts are going to fall. There has been no involvement of local people. The Secretary of State’s promise has proved about as meaningful as the Liberal Democrat pledge on VAT.

“The cuts are a bit like those of the 1980s, as they are targeted on the poorest. There is at least one other consistency. When the Secretary of State was leader of Bradford city council, he was known-perhaps not entirely affectionately as ‘the beast of Bradford’. Teachers, caretakers, maintenance workers, crèche and nursery staff, social workers and council officers all lost their jobs. His ambition was to cut £50 million from the council budget and turn it into a holding company that met two or three times a year when the contracts would be handed out.”

Can this be true? i am shocked !!!

YET at Salford Question Time meeting on Monday night Cllr Owen made a dramatic and defensive scene in opposition to one lady’s sensible suggestion the next topic should be “about how the cuts will affect people in Salford”. It was very obnoxious and unkind to say the least. No-one could get a word in and he shortly left the meeting.

He was invited there to collect a certificate for his involvement on the Panel along with myself, not manipulate the opportunity to make a party political speech to the unconverted.

SALFORD HEALTH GAP WIDENS read the full story in the Salford Star.

Star date: 2nd July 2010  LIFE EXPECTANCY GETS WORSE IN SALFORD  The gap in life expectancy between places like Salford and the rest of the country has widened over the last ten years by 7 per cent for males and 14 per cent for females, according to a report published today by the National Audit Office. The report states that life expectancy for the whole population is 77.9 years for men and 82 years for women. But in the areas it studied, including Salford, it’s an average of 75.8 years for men and 80.4 years for women. Take some time out and read Mr Kingstons site for me the voice of real Salford People.

Killers and sex attackers ‘could be spared jail in Ken Clarke reform’

This winds me up,

Furious MPs are complaining that the new system to prevent another expenses scandal is too complex, and they are being ‘treated like benefit claimants’.

So bloody what,if you want to claim go through the process like the rest of the world.

Have people lost the will to fight, why do we give in so easy.

I sat at a meeting last night over the Job cuts in Salford,and of course you will get the hard core as with any group, but have things gone so far that unless it effects me i can’t be bothered? there is so much people can do, the tools are there but you have to fight, to many just role over and die. It’s obvious the political opposition in Salford have little interest i mean to say it’s their political masters who have caused it. And it gives the Labour leadership a get out of jail card, perhaps there is room in the market now for new ideas and new visions for the future. Because what we have know will feather their own nest while the old,the weak and the poor of our society suffer.
