A blast from the past





The images above are from a 1970’s left wing publication known as the New Manchester Review. It makes fascinating reading (click on the individual images to enlarge). It is interesting to note the then leader of the council was Conservative stalwart Colin Grantham, also of interest was the fact that the Tories then held the majority on Tameside Council. What about the passage from Bert Ellicott - very interest when put into historical context. As for the immigrant population totalling just 1200; I would hazard a guess at saying more than that attend Hyde Mosque for Friday prayers these days. There is a further piece to this feature, a suggestion was made a certain boisterous individual appearing in one of the photographs is now a well known councillor. I cannot verify this to be true so I will keep that until the authenticity of the claim can be verified.

National Front, Police Lines, Bricks, and John Taylor.

John Taylor said...

Yes I was there he did not walk down our main roads again, these were the good old days when we faced up to the fascist.
We organised the protest via the trades council good old Bert Ellicott and Dave Hallsworth wish we still had them.
If its me in the photo please publish it I am proud of my attendance in Hyde that day and my days in the anti Nazi League.

remember the traitors said...

Yep, Burt Ellicott - what a man “Do you know, we don’t even have decent ghetto! No streets have ‘gone black’, non of our terraces have been ‘taken over’. Well you cursed Communist filth - come back and look at your handiwork now; you have a ghetto you could be proud of and many of ‘our’ terraces have now been taken over. Burn in hell traitor!

ABC said...

40% of the under 20 age group in what used to be London are non-white. Unless drastic action is taken in the very near future we will soon be an ethnic minority in our own country. The particularly massive and exponentially increasing Pakistani and Bangladeshi Muslim population, if it is not stopped will result in us being 'bred out'. The demographic evidence shows it is clearly headed towards not a multi-ethnic melting pot put an Asian Islamic republic.

Yes John you are proud that you attacked the police with bricks, because thats what you did. You are a violent thug with a very violent past.

Powellite said...

The anti-'fascists' frequently attack or refer to the absurd, posturing blackshirt Oswald Mosley but virtually never criticize Enoch Powell. This is because Powell was an independent minded, courageous genius and when his behaviour or record is assailed it is extremely easy to quote from one of his brilliant speeches which show astonishing foresight and accuracy. The more time goes on the more accurate his prophecies are revealed to be.

Once a violent thug always a violent thug. He's too old now so incites the UAF/Searchlight animals to launch hammer attacks on members of law abiding Parties.

Please no more about Denton lets have more on this Hyde story and Taylor's activities

Strength through Diversity said...

It is as sad as it is predictable that this item has drawn the bigots out of the woodwork. This article proves two things and one is that Tameside has always been blighted by the far-right menace and the second is that the Asian community has been here for many years and that they have perfectly assimilated into the Hyde community. How many people reading this can honestly say Hyde is a worse place for having these hard working and industrious people living in the community? If it were not the vibrant Asian community Market Street would be a scruffy ghost town. The dynamism of the ethnic minority communities has breathed new life into decaying and decrepit post-industrial Britain. Long may these people be welcomed, and if one day they do come become the majority ethnic group in Britain – so what? The white mans tenure may have expired but Britain will still be Britain. The same rivers will flow and the same mountains will rise from the mist. Earth and rock make a country – not the temporary human inhabitants.

tonydj said...

I remember the event well. The proposed march was banned but Martin Webster made his "One man march" down Market Street.

The NF had a march up Stockport Rd in Longsight and held a rally outside Belle Vue in Gorton.

Bert Ellicot...full name NORBERT Ellicot left the Labour Party and joined the SWP in May 1979.

I recall Dave Hallsworth. He was kicked out of the SWP and joined the RCP. He was secretary of Tameside Trades Council when they were expelled from the TUC for organising a "Day School" on Ireland in March 1980. He later protested about Ireland at the TUC conference in Blackpool the following year, for which he was chucked out.

These old lefties had more bottle and dedication than the new crop. I can actually respect them

Mellor Road Mincer said...

Meh... take a look at this.

Yeah supporting an illegal and expensive war in Iraq which the money could of gone on prioritizing the issues of our own country such as crime, health, education. It is time to go back to basics.

Can I just say how predictable this is - is Labour going for the nationalist vote? Denise has big hair, but you would expect that. She is a hairdresser, but she looks like she has been Tango'd.

If Denise is elected, then we will have a councillor that is more orange than Councillor John Taylor. Then hell will freeze over...

Andrew Doubleday said...

If Denise is elected,do you mean when Denise is elected your lot are still at each others throat you have not lifted a finger in Denton.
When Denise is elected we will all have new hair styles and that includes John Bell as a gesture of good will.

Anonymous said...

A hairdresser? And they called Stacy a bimbo!
The rason the Tories haven't been out yet is because Joan Howarth and the rest of the old bats wont tell the rest of the party who the candidate is, nor is there a leaflet yet for us to deliver. Denton and Reddish don't want the CF to help at all, leaving the wheelchair brigade to do all the delivering. This is going to be another crap result from the tories. Well done Joan, you're doing a brilliant job of splitting the party and helping us lose.

Toryboy in the know said...

Don't blame Joan when you don't even have a clue what is going on. It's been awful. see previous posts for an incling.

Anonymous said...

I know that Joan left Stacey on her own in Duki without any leaflets or any help. My message to Stacey would be to stand against Joan as an Independant in Denton West. Stacey lives in Denton West but Joan doesn't. Stacey is well liked in her area and would win as an Independent.
Dn't forget how you were stabbed in the back Stacy. You have the talent and intelligence to win in Denton West. Come and have a chat with us and we will give you all the help you need.

Anon. JOAN HOWARTH DOES LIVE IN DENTON WEST you dunce. And if Stacey Kinghton was ever the official candidate I would vote Labour just to stop her the bullying bimbo. She will NEVER be a candidate in Denton and Reddish EVER. She's got the message which is why she's taken her bat and ball to Ashton and why she has caused us so much trouble, along with the Tameside Tories and CF cronies. There's no going back. The blonde lemming has jumped off the edge.

So if Stacy isnt standing as candidate in Audenshaw who is? I cant obide the tories but I did think Stacy put up a good fight and worked hard. Why hasnt anything been done with Audy since? Have the Tories thrown a shower of **** candidate in there?

Manchester Road Mincemeat said...

Hahaha like that's really a threat Ian. What is a threat is refusing to accept the Conservative association decision, to challenge it, to implicate Conservative Future, Tameside Conservatives and the Regional Campaign HQ. What is a threat is to sack our officers who have served this Constituency party well. What is a threat is to suggest expulsions. What is a threat are the kinds of phone calls good honest members hacve received over the Greenwood affair.

This is far from over. You'll see. AND THAT IS A THREAT!

You are pushing this too far. Just accept that the best candidate has been chosen for the good of the Party and not for the good of you, and your small clique's ego's.

Those that know what has been going on know precisely that I know far too much to be John Taylor... And NO I am not Anthony Hannay (of Reddish Con Club Committee - and if I wasn't a Tory how would I know that level of detail?)

All I can say is these are dark days for Denton and Reddish Conservatives.

According to the article the Tories had 28 councillors to Labours 24. What has happened to the Tameside Tories since those heady days? Why is it Labour now outnumber Conservative in the council chamber on a ratio of over six to one? Have the people of Tameside rejected Conservativism or have Labour found a magic formula to charm the electorate? Something has happened – I just never noticed it happening.

How is it, given the massive unpopularity of Labour, Tameside Tories have only managed to amass 11 Councillors despite Conservatives making huge gains at local level virtually nationwide? Conservative Central office must be tearing their hair out at such a consistently pathetic performance in what is a relatively affluent area.

Manchester Road Mincemeat said...

Anonymous, never a truer word spoken in jest... I sadly fear that if that crew get their way, the Conservatives will be a spent force in this corner of Tameside. That desperately saddens me as a lifelong Conservative. I am proud of my party and the local activists who have given their entire lives for Conservative values and I am disgusted that our party can turn their backs on us in the way they have because of the bitter and twisted tactics of a small number of people who have never really had the party's true interest at heart.

The bullying, the intimidation and the dirty tactics have appalled me. Seeing good people in tears, seeing a life's dedication to the party count for sod all. Disgusting.

The truth will out and I am sure the people of Denton when they know the full story will be as disgusted as I am and my friends are.

R W said...

MRM, I sympathise with you but you must realise it is for the best. Change is sometimes difficult to embrace but our Party is in a transitional period at present. Some tears will be shed during this changing of the guard but if you are a real Conservative you put the greater good of the Party before your bruised ego. Pick yourself up, brush yourself down and then take up the fight with renewed vigour.

I predict we'll fall back in Denton by-election as a result of all of this even IF another nomination is not submitted. The pressure has been intense for that not to happen. But bullying and threatening us may backfire. What else have we left to lose?

An open message to all Tory party members please keep John Bell leading your local party,his leadership during this by election in Denton is vital to the success of the Labour candidate.
We can not recall your party being in such a state of disunity for a long time in Tameside.
Our agent is thinking of offering to deliver some leaflets for you if you ever get an official candidate, just to give Denise some experience of opposition.

doreen for leader said...

I've had enough of being gagged. Close of nominations is only a day away. There is SO MUCH which needs to be said publicly during this campaign, and WILL BE!

Labour will have an 'official' opposition in this election, but they may have an 'unofficial' one too. Much pressure is being piled on the key people involved, myself included, not to use the nuclear option, but it may now be the only course of action left. Bullying does not work on us, it makes us stronger in our determination to rid our ranks of the likes of Stacey and co.

She is finished. She won't even be fit for dog meat when we've finished with her. What she has done and attempted to do is UNFORGIVABLE and will NOT be forgotten. Nor will the biased side-taking of the Tameside party over our association officers. To have good people yelled at in meetings, bringing them to tears and the stress from poison phonecalls and letters is disgusting. They deserve respect for the length of service given to our party not sick abuse from a silly girl and her twisted mother.

Denton Conservatives will come through this difficult period. We will be stronger after we purge ourselves of those who have caused so much pain and angst.

You are wrong RW, there will be no expulsions. We will sort this problem as Conservatives do, by diplomacy. We will listen to all sides of the argument and make an informed decision on what action if any is necessary. I hope you all feel happy that you have turned yourselves into total laughing stocks! The Labour Party cannot believe their luck. We could have won the Denton North East by-election had it not been for this bout of collective madness. This is my last comment on this farcical school yard fight: None of you are bigger than the Conservative Party. When the Party makes a decision, you obey or leave. We have got no room for splitters who are motivated by their own huge egos. If a campaign team arrives in the Denton NE of which you do not approve – fine, just stay out of the campaign, but never publicly humiliate the Party in this diabolical way again.

Whatever happens in the by-election is largely irrelevant because Knighton and her family are dead n buried as far as we are concerned.

Why do you think she's not been selected to fight Audenshaw again? Why do you think her own ward of Denton West (easily achievable) is a Stacey free zone? Because that evil tart is having nothing here at all. Especially after the past few months antics.

Why is John Bell still leader? They've only made tiny gains despite almost universal hatred of NewLabour and their most recent performance in HydeNewton was pathetic. A homosexual clique now seems to have disproportionate influence (a bit like Westminster and large parts of the media).
Minority rule is becoming an established and extremely destructive influence on public life. Minorities' real concern is their cause and greater issues such as the national interest are left to rot.

Anonymous said...

The rank amateurishness which characterises the modern Conservative Party has been exposed with the embarrassing claim by Tory Home Affairs frontbencher Chris Grayling that Britain has a higher violent crime rate than South Africa and America.

In reality, both South Africa and America have dramatically higher rates of violent crime than Britain. The Tories are simply lying, and have shown the intellectual shallowness of the people who want to make up this country’s next government.

To make matters worse, evidence from the British police shows that immigrants to Britain are responsible for a majority of the reported murders and related violent crime in Britain - making a mockery of the Tory allegations that British people are violent.

Sir Robert Peel said...

No lies. Just shocking that Britain can be mentioned in the same breath as these two violent countries. Does is not make you stand and think how low our stanmdards have fallen under ZanuLabour?

Floyd Patterson died years back... bit like Denton Conservative Party. Probably why Georgina Greenwood is supporting him.

I really like the Conservative candidate Floyd Paterson's blog page. READ IT AND WEEP LABOUR! YOU ARE FINISHED AND YOU'RE GOING TO GET KICKED OUT ! You can't possibly win against us.

Have you noticed that the Labour lot have given up on their hilarious Tory split wheeze? How we laughed at their smugness! They simply do not know what's coming...

Anonymous said...

Many Tory party members including me will not be doing any work in this election,and that's because of the way we have been treated by so called leaders of the party.
The whole process is disaster we have been made to look silly,coming third will be seen by many of us as a victory its that bad.
When its over we have some sorting out to do and it will be done.

I think it's hillarious that "Toryboy" really thought he knew what was going on. But that's Labour for you! Look who's a nieve, wet around the ears, poisonous bimbo now. What a total idiot! NITWIT! lol.

What will happen with the Tory leadership if the bnp beat you in this election coming up in Denton?

I think what you meant to ask is what will happen when the BNP beat Labour and Labour come third. The Tories are back in town and don't you know it! You've been Tangoed!

Labour HOLD said...

Look if the Tories couldn't win Denton North East last May nor win Tameside in the disastrous 4th June Euros, you've no chance.

Keep taking the tablets. Denton NE = Labour HOLD.

Alleged footage of Labour councillors on the streets of Denton North East fighting over their allowances.

John Bell increased my TAX said...

At least Dawson Lane has been seen on the streets of Denton - talking to real people not cyber-monkeys! His website has no info at all on it other than he'll 'save' me £23 in Council Tax.

Why don't they own up to the fact the Fire precept and Transport levy Council Tax INCREASES were imposed by Conservative-controlled (with the help of the Lib Dems) joint authorities - or does that not fit the script?

Dead-ended said...

In a culdesac just like Denton Tories lol!

WINNER said...

Watch this all the way through to give you an idea of what will happen in Denton North East.

Labour nonsense said...

Wrong actually. Both the police precept and the fire precept got cross-party approval.

Do as I say said...

Oh so that's alright then - the Tories can vote for tax rises at the Fire Authority they control and at the Transport Authority they control, and because others agree, it doesn't matter??

Why didn't the Tory Chair of the GMPTA insist on following party policy and freezing the transport element of the Council Tax across Greater Manchester?

Similarly, why didn't the Tory Vice-Chair of the GMFR Authority propose the same?

Is it by chance that they like spending OUR money when they control an authority BUT when in power do something quite different?

it must really piss the loony right off that a little squabble between tory party members in one ward gets 400 comments on this blog and yet, if you exclude the rantings of west, the views and opinions of the far right are just ignored.

Some Rantings said...

The Italian government has done what any sane government would do to protect itself from invasion and passed a law declaring it a criminal offence to enter Italy without permission or to aid invaders in any way.

In addition, the new law has instituted a policy of immediate deportation of the invaders themselves.

The law, passed yesterday in the Italian senate after earlier ratification by the lower house, states that people caught entering or living in Italy without a permit will not be taken to court but instead given immediate expulsion orders. They will also face fines of up to €10,000.

The law also says that Italians - unless they are doctors or others who will be exempted - will be obliged to report illegal immigrants. Those who knowingly house illegal migrants will face up to three years in prison.

In addition, the law includes tough fines for landlords who rent to illegal immigrants, and orders that no public services be provided to illegals or their offspring in Italy. It also requires parents registering a birth to present documents proving that they are legal residents.

Labour Out. said...

John Bell increased your tax, thanks to twelve years of chronic financial incompetence and massive and endemic waste EVERY British taxpayer will spend decades paying to sort out the utter chaos LABOUR have inflicted on our country.

British Nationalist said...

Is that the 'looney right' who want to do something about the fact that 71% of all new jobs in the last twelve years have gone to foreigners who work cheap, live cheap - often in chronically overcrowded conditions thereby importing Third World living standards - and send most of their wages home directly taking money away from the British economy? NewLabour are in thrall to global companies and care nothing for Britain or its workforce.

Regime Change said...

As unemployment spirals, tax revenue plummets and the debt mountain grows exponentially Ed Balls, an ultra ambitious, talentless incompetent who believes in nothing rises towards the top of our slagheap Government. Britain is headed for financial meltdown and consequent massive social unrest and the people in charge are fundamentally extremely inferior. They need to be removed ASAP to limit the potential damage to Britain's long term future.

No quarter said...

If the alternative is continuing the way Britain is headed a civil war bloodbath is infinitely preferable.

Lazy Floyd will now have get off his back side and do some work, he is known for not doing any work in his ward or any other ward.
He and his cronies have been told that they are on their own, the civil war is still running inside our club, but its wont spill out onto the streets just yet.
They don't even have leaflet at the printers and none of them have ever canvassed the campaign will be a disaster,they will be happy if they can beat the BNP into second place.

Tameside police will crush the BNP here in Tameside, our job is to smash their active members. We are making plans to make life very difficult for them in the coming months.

Sick Blue said...

Love them or hate them you have to give it to the Labour campaign team they looked very impressive this morning out in Denton.
I wish we had their unity and campaign management skills, take note you tossers who have messed up in Denton.
We wont see that many party workers on the streets for the whole of this election,why can they attract 20/30 workers out each day and we cant ? Answer- dead simple we have no real leaders and far to many self indulgent so called candidates.
If you are a Tory party member and have worked your sox's off over the years don't go near St Annes Road the site of all the Labour people will make you sick.

denton voter said...

I've had a Labour leaflet and it went in the fucking bin mate

Regime Change said...

The reason Labour are working so hard and employing their increasingly dirty tricks is any loss could be catastrophic to the morale of a Party that has no centre and believes in nothing. It sold its soul and principles to Blair to win the '97 election the loss of which would have finished the Party. The appalling recent run of results at every level of election means even small defeats are now highly significant. They are aided by a massive increase in the last twelve years in the number of extremely ignorant and uninformed people and vested interest minority groups who are targeted and brainwashed or bought off in one way or another. Now however the money an influence to purchase the vote of their client state has run out and their increasingly desperate, pathetic and obvious lies about public spending and the mountain of public debt they have created are utterly exposed.
The best thing that could happen for Britain at the next General Election is the annihilation of a Party whose ruinous period of governance has done massive long-term damage to our country.

Denton voter I hope it was the Blue bin you put it in,make sure you are part of the best recycling council in the country

Sticking place said...

As a white person I am concerned that members of the Black Police Association may persecute me because of my ethnicity. Organizations that wish to defend and protect the interests of ethnic groups are fine, but law and order is the fundamental basis of civilization and its upholders should be utterly impartial and not allowed to set up groups linked to the Police Force.

Labour Out. said...

The best recycling Council in the country? The bins stink thanks to fortnightly collections introduced like so many other measures by local and national Government to save money and paper over a financial black hole created by years of chronic Labour overspending.
For many years to come everything in the public sector will be about massive cut backs to repair the economic disaster wrought upon Britain by Labour. 'Green' issues and other fabrications will be manufactured and hyped up in an attempt to steal more revenue to cover up this economic chasm.

ex party worker said...

Anyone seen Lazy Floyd on the streets yet? we are told he likes to be the boss and delegate things down,£25 says hes in the Tory club talking a good election campaign

a friend of a friend said...

A small runt of Labour activists seen near the West End Labour Club. They were doing more talking than walking.

Big Tory team seen out and about delivering leaflets.

How soon did Labour's leaflet go to press after the death of their old gentleman Martin Wareing?

They have made great boasts about how much they have done in the last month, but considering he only died five weeks ago, their haste seems a little distasteful. At the very least the Tories had the decency and manners to begin organising their campaign after the election was called.

It really makes you wonder at the mindset of the modern Labour Party...

Ex-Commie said...

Anyone stupid enough to believe the utter lies in Labour's Denton North East leaflet about 'the Tories 10% cuts' in public spending is stupid enough to vote Labour. WHICHEVER Party is in power massive cuts will be made as a result of Labour's disastrous twelve years of chronic overspending, waste and ruinous financial mismanagement.

A big Tory team what was it five members, they had more sat at home licking their wounds from the recent civil war.
We will be out Sunday with another large group not just leafleting but targeting our core voters using the information gathered over the past few weeks its called canvassing.
We now move up a notch just like we did in Newton I can feel another increased majority on its way.

Spotted all over said...

Various Tameside Labour councillors been spotted today in Haughton Hall Road area leafleting; Foxhall Road area leafleting; Egerton Street area leafleting; Stockport Road area canvassing; Seymour Street area canvassing; Duke Street area canvassing and Mount Pleasant Road area canvassing.

Small teams of 4-6 in each but spread throughout the ward for maximum impact.

KEEPING UP THE PRESSURE!

The Operation Fightback campaign exposing Conservative leader David Cameron's links with a Labour-created, trade union funded, Communist hate-gang called 'Unite Against Fascism' (UAF) has cause some noticeable discord amongst the ranks of the Conservative Party.

We must keep up the pressure at all costs! Many middle and lower rank Conservatives are confused and dismayed at David Cameron's alliance with the Stalinist-Trotskyite far left, and condemnations are flowing freely on the Tory Party grapevine.

Crusher Creel said...

Labour til I die, I reckon even with all this work your vote will fall. Denton North East has more homeowners and decent hardworking people, i.e those who have been taxed to death, lied to and generally hammered by Labour and who can see through the deceit to the reality of what Labour has done to Britain. And less spongers, Muslims and braindead zombies than most other wards, i.e. less core Labour voters. Many of the elderly population will probably come through for you but if the Tories and the BNP put in a good effort I think the 227 you won by last May won't be enough of a cushion to win. It may well be a similar result to Duki/Staly when a BNP paper candidate took enough votes off the obnoxious, arrogant Labour candidate to help the Tories win.

A very poor leaflet being delivered today by the BNP,very poor quality photos you can hardly see and nothing about their policies.
We have nothing to fear from this shower our new leaflet with Mr Floyd's Tory policies will be well received.
They will find Denton a bit different from Newton we are confident of winning this one with ease

My other income is £35,000 per year I have a private pension that I now have access to since October 2008 it pays £15,000 per year but I did get a lump sum payment of £32,000.
All earned by my hard work over 45 years no time off work and I made some wise investments.
I find in life that you get what you work hard for and you get what you are worth.

£1535.48 per week, I doubt that some jumped up militant is worth more than 16 basic pensioners weekly income.Labour councillors are exactly the same as Labour MPs, Greedy troughing scum. What happened to Socialism then John?

fred done said...

Another great day for the Tory team. The response from residents is two fingers to Labour. Many complaining about Gordon Brown and saying he deserves a good hiding at the polls. Many who haven't voted in years have said they will vote just to get their revenge on Labour, and many realise that only the Tories can beat Labour in the ward. However, others who have voted Labour in the past say they won't vote for us but will vote either BNP or Green. There's a growing impression that just two days into this contest Labour are on a hiding to nothing. The Labour lot say they are canvassing hard, but as the old saying goes, you can weigh a pig as many times as you like, it won't make it fatter.

None of you know what work is had you filled the jobs immigrants are doing they would not come here, its much easier for you to sponge on benifits

TDB, I admit the current BNP leaflet is a shocker. Our regular designer has been in Kent helping to organise a big environmental event. She will be back soon and you will see a vast improvement when our next leaflet appears. Our next leaflet will do you know harm whatsoever by exposing the traitors posing as patriots in our midst.

All hands on deck! said...

Brian Millard, ex Lib Dem leader of Stockport has died today.

His Cheadle and Gatley ward was taken by the Tories in May 2008, so that will be a mother of all by-election scraps over in Cheadle constituency soon.

If the Tories don't win that ward, what hope have they of taking the parliamentary seat back from the yellow-bellies?

Anonymous said...

Was Brian still in office?

All hands on deck! said...

Yes. He was still a Councillor. The other Lib Dem member is Cllr Pam King. Cllr Mick Jones is the Conservative councillor there.

He won in May 2008 by just a 17 vote majority. See: http://interactive.stockport.gov.uk/contents/election2008/wardDetail.asp?wardId=6

All to play for in this key marginal ward in a battleground parliamentary seat for the Tories. Never mind messing around in Denton, this is where the real fight will be!
