Did you or anyone you know work in a local cotton mill?



If so this chap would like to hear from you. This is a great project and I would love to be able to help but I have nothing I could contribute which has not already been published. The history of the rise of ‘King Cotton’ in our part of the world is truly fascinating as is the history of The Chartists who were particularly strong in Ashton and Hyde.

Bit off topic but 'Cotton Mills' is the name of the latest exciting residential development in Newton (ICI, Ashton Bros, Castrol and all the other smaller ones). When completed it should do a magnificent job in adding to the traffic gridlock in the area, especially as it borders the ever expanding 'Dukinfield Education Zone'. So we can look forward to a 1500-1830 logjam. Well done TMBC.
I'm looking forward to finding out what Tameside's population is in the census next year.

Life was good before the invasion said...

I am a refugee from Manchester (Longsight) who sold up and moved to Tameside to escape the immigrants who made our lives hell. Do you object to me living here M.Adrulers?

M.Adrulers said...

No I object to the British government's (past and present) insane immigration policy that destroyed your area and meant you had to move here. Do you object to me objecting about Tameside council overpopulating the borough?

Luck of the Irish said...

The Pope says its OK to buy condoms but the Irish have no money now to buy them,on a more serious note did you know we are borrowing £7billion to rescue the Irish Government, its a Euro Zone not our problem.

I recieved a call from the standards board today, I have made a complaint regarding the methods used against me in Dukinfield.
I have expressed concern to the standards board.
The 2008 Taylor/allegations leaflet that I was using a false name, and sending the police to my house on election day.
about Cllr Taylor using neighbour's allegations in his leaflets.

say no to halal slaughter said...

What about the Muslim schools teaching filth like this For acts of ‘sodomy’, children are told that the penalty is death and it states a difference of opinion whether this should be done by stoning, or burning with fire, or throwing over a cliff.

I have been telling people for years that Muslim kids are being indoctrinated with poison like this. Watch it tonight on Panorama 8.30pm BBC1.

I think homosexual acts are abnormal, but as long as it's in private and not promoted in schools etc as being equivalent to heterosexuality (what used to be called normal) I'm not really bothered. Teaching children that homosexuals should be brutally killed is outrageous and should be immediately stopped with severe punishments for the barbarians teaching this.

The euro zone is our problem. Section 122 of the Lisbon treaty signed so eagerly by Labour requires us to bail them out.

Taylor, made said...

30,000 views of our wonderful Deputy Leader in action by Christmas?

30,000 thanks said...

Keep up the good publicity for him its a pity we cant see the parts you edited.
Most people like it when they see someone standing up to a known bully and convicted racist,bit different from picking on defenceless women isn't it.

Keep It In Mind For 2011 said...

Good people of Dukinfield.
Remember.
When you struggle to pay the bills and feed your children.
Always take comfort in the fact.
That your freindly Labour Councillor, can claim back a cool £31, 791 For His Expenses at a stroke of a pen.

30,000 thanks, I know what you mean with all that money coming in.

Keep the pressure on them West said...

There was no editing. The fact is West has busted two of the known Labour Mafia members operating in Tameside. One has lost his polished image of being a respectable councillor whose simple mission in life is to arrange Christmas parties for old ladies. The other was a gift for anyone ever smeared by the state run hard left criminal Searchlight outfit. The idiot councillor caught red handed will now be quoted for ever more as definite proof of Labour collusion with these crooks. Talking about cooperating is one thing - getting caught red handed and then admitting it on camera was a huge blunder which will damage him in time to come.

That video shows the true face of John Charles Taylor.
A violent man. Can't control himself.

Keith Flint said...

No doubt a still of Councillor Fitzpatrick delivering this third party leaflet will be on Mr West's leaflet next year.

My mother worked as a weaver in the 50s. It was relatively well paid but hard work and extremely noisy.
