Allegations of electoral malpractice have been made by residents in some parts of Rochdale. The council has received a number of reports of large groups of people attempting to pressure people into handing over uncompleted postal votes. The full article cane be read on the BBC website by clicking here.
It is about time this whole postal voting racket was brought to an end. Everyone knows the system is being abused by the Labour Party and this is undermining peoples trust in the entire democratic process.
Postal votes should only be available for those who are physically unable to make it to a polling station and under no circumstances should representatives from any political party be allowed to handle the postal votes at any stage of the process.
I was once told by a senior, well respected and now retired Tameside Labour big-hitter that postal vote fraud is rife in certain wards. He claimed on average that Labour benefit by 300 votes per ward. In wards such as Longdendale and Hyde Newton where the Labour winning margin has been less than 300 I could confidently say the winning candidates in years gone by would never have achieved their victories if it were not for the endemic security weaknesses of the postal voting system.
For anyone attending an election count on May 5th why not closely study the percentage of postal votes received by each party compared to their overall votes received. Say for example and as an average that for every 1000 ballot box votes the Conservatives, UKIP and Greens get they also get 200 postal votes then as a contrast you notice that for every 1000 ballot box votes Labour receive they also get 500 postal votes - what conclusions could be drawn from this study?
In the not too distant past I was sent a copy of a marked electoral register proving almost certain postal vote fraud at a Tameside old folks home. The sender asked me to expose the scandal by featuring it on this blog however I had to decline as there was no way of protecting the identities of the ‘voters’ and to publish their details into the public domain would have been totally unacceptable.
Regarding postal voting one thing is certain - Labour benefit disproportionably well compared to all other parties in Tameside. The Tameside Conservatives would be well advised to lobby their party to overturn the changes made to the postal voting system by Labour in 2001. It should be remembered that the changes were made by Labour to benefit Labour and ever since the system was altered postal vote fraud has become widespread. Come on Conservatives - sort it out!

Rochdale what a surprise, not!
Its an absolute mystery why the Tameside Conservatives for years have been letting Labour off the hook.
In my opinion the filth of Tameside Politics must rank highly in the UK League Table of "Council Fixers" enabling the proven bone heads to retain power.
For years Roy Oldham chose every Labour candidate for each Tameside Ward,so obviously they owed Oldham big time from the day they became Councillors,so the bone heads remained secure under the despot master.
But what controlling influence has
the Labour Group had over the Conservatives,and who are behind the scenes masquerading as Conservatives.
We need to rid Tameside of weak kneed Labour opponents,and establish a Tory Firebrand to take the present Labour scum apart.
The Election fixers will already be in place with Tameside Officials
under the thumb to their sordid paymasters.
Byrne of the BNP lost out to Labour by 270 votes in 2008 in Hyde Newton. He almost certainly would have won the election had it not been for the postal vote fraud.
This was confirmed by a senior member (now retired) of Tameside Labour party.
All that's needed is the signature of the voter (who may or may not be legally on the electoral roll, i.e. may not live at that address or may not even exist) and that of a witness. The actual cross in the box could then be done by ANYONE. The whole system would disgrace a Zimbabwean election and should be SCRAPPED immediately.
In some Third World countries fingerprint ID is used and you HAVE TO vote at the polling station.
And to think Britain was the cradle of democracy.
I was out canvassing and one Thai lady told me that her Labour candidate came round to her house and filled the form for her. This is in Tameside.
Also, it is known for the difficulty that opposition groups have when trying to canvass care homes in Tameside.
And why is it that in Hattersley that you have 5 polling stations when in Hollingworth you only have 1?
I agree with all of the above.Last year I had a call from a Labour telephone canvasser asking me to sign up for a postal vote. She was that confident I was going to accept she started to arrange a date for her collegue to bring the forms for me to sign. She seemed quite shocked when I said no and even more so when I said I was reporting her to the TPS for harrasing me with unwanted nuisance calls.
Here's a question. Why don't you take your evidence or suspicians to the police - as in Rochdale - or challenge Labour in the election courts? Could it be because you have no such evidence and that these are just rantings of bitter losers.
One senior labour man said to me that its because the BNP need excuses.
We will see I guess, put up or shut up time?
Because we live in a one party state where the police are in bed with the Labour Party in Tameside. They also have something called "shit for brains" and wouldn't know how to solve a jigsaw puzzle if they tried.
OK, I am going to break silence. Wasn't Idu Miah in Hyde Werneth investigated by the police last year for postal vote fraud?
The evidence relating to fraud with the Labour postal votes in the retirement home was handed to the authorities - no action was taken. The Advertiser also refused to publish a letter exposing the issue. There is a conspiracy in operation.
The Tameside Labour Mafia, just take a look at the dubious past of many of its leading figures for an insight to the calibre of the average Labour Mafia member, this bunch of low intelligence grunts were guided by the now deceased Iron Man of Tameside from Back Moor. The current cabal running Tameside combined do not posses half the intelligence of their now deceased puppet master. Without his guidance it is only a matter of time until they slip up and get caught fiddling - you mark my words.

You are completely wrong. The BNP had plenty of evidence and did indeed present that evidence to the police and the electoral commission, but BOTH agencies showed no interest in taking action even though the evidence, which included proof of a 90% turnout for postal votes in one old people's home and also that there was collusion between the manager of the care home and senior Labour party officials, was overwhelming and damning.
Before you make infantile comments on this blog, please get your facts right.
clearly there is a difference between BNP evidence and reliable evidence.
As you are not satisfied with the police why don't you bring a private prosecution or take your case to the election courts. Then the evidence you claim you have will be seen in full public glare. Oh, I've just answered my own question!
Rev E.W.Thomas of Dukinfield has a lot to answer for in Tameside as top man over Tameside Police,Top Man over TMBC Standards Committee,and a puppet master of the Labour Group.
Even when the infamous Dr.Shipton was being investigated by TMBC Police they called on the Rev Thomas for advice.Why ?
Freemasonary has even infiltrated the Planning decisions in that Freemasons can now be Public Inquiry Chair persons deciding on Public Inquiry large Planning cases,and that was brought in by the Labour Party in recent years
As the previous "personal chaplain" to the Duke of Kent years ago Power should be his middle name.
Its time Masons were outed in Tameside inc those in the Police and Magistrates.
Get rid of secret societies whose objectives,plans,are not clear and democratic,why do they need secret words,secret handshakes,secret meetings,and secret hand displays,if they are not intending to usurp the democratic processes in the UK.
If your "on the square" its like winning the pools and your waterproof to charges.
Anyone who refutes the power they hold are illiterate to the facts,certainly not well read,and
immune to the facts.
The media is well under their thumb and influence if you check it out,and those who deny it have something to hide themselves.
Rid TMBC of its imposters,its sleaze,its unhealthy relationships.
and its manipulators and "then" we have a chance folks.
Difficult but not impossible !!!
(Once a Hiram)
GMP, you clearly don't like the BNP which leads me to suspect you might actually BE a senior police officer. Open hostility towards anything non-PC (like the BNP) is a virtual guarantee of advancement in the modern politicised police force.
The facts WERE presented to the electoral commission (the same commission who are fully aware that the postal voting system is wide open to fraud and totally insecure, and that there are mass irregularities in the electoral roll nationwide. A fact that has been independently verified by virtually every major news organ) and they refused to act.
To suggest that any State organisation behaves politically impartially to parties/organisations like the BNP is laughable.
As for the media, the journalist's union's OFFICIAL advice to their members is NEVER report positive BNP stories and ALWAYS report negative ones, so much for the integrity of the Press.
Labour's massive expansion of the totally corrupt postal vote system was designed purely to get the block vote from 'the community'.
To GMP
I can announce that some of our evidence will be presented for the first time on this blog. The evidence will include a page from a marked electoral register which shows who has voted by post or via the ballot box or has chosen not to vote. After viewing one infamous page in particular, you will be left in no doubt, that, at the very least, extremely suspicious electoral practices have taken place in this borough in relation to postal voting.
You can decide for yourself when you see the VOTING PATTERNS at the old people's homes as indicated by the marked electoral register for 2008.
Now then, here is your problem, and this is where you are going to look rather foolish, you are going to have to explain how such bizarre voting patterns could have taken place by mere chance.
And here is a prediction: when you see some of the evidence that we are about to present, IN FUTURE YOU WILL KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT.
Staff from nine of the region’s ten NHS trusts have signed a letter accusing Mike Greenwood, chairman of Stockport primary care trust, of ‘riding roughshod’ over them at a key meeting.
We have spoken to several senior health executives from other PCTs who believe Mr Greenwood was rude and dismissive towards other managers.
................................
Is this the Mike Greenwood Ex Chief Executive of TMBC,because if so he hasn`t changed one bit after leaving TMBC for a job at the North West Government Offices in Piccadilly.
Being as he was, he was well suited to the TMBC position being bloody pig ignorant,contemptuous,and another big mate of the Tameside Labour Mafia.
If its you Mike get on your bike and
sod off to patures new,pantomime dame
worth consideration.
Andrew Gwynne: My right hon. Friend will be pleased to know that
Labour-controlled Tameside council has committed to keeping open all its
children's centres, despite a tough financial settlement, but did not
the Conservative spokesperson on children and families let the cat out
of the bag on the front page of the Tameside Advertiser this week, when
she said that Sure Start should not be a universal...

==================================================
Dear Minister
So can my Council have some Brownie Points,because it found it had money saved and stashed away and has now decided to spend it to look good in Tameside,besides which I promised not to abuse the MP`s Commons Expenses again so that might help as well.
Do I get a Beacon Award,seems like I`m the only one in Tameside short of one.
Luv
Andrew

You Have To Read This Folks:
Here we are again TMBC harnessing people with money.
Out of 429 Councils TAMESIDE LABOUR MAFIA are 4th yes Fourth
Now jump on this latest scam Conservatives and the rest of Election Candidates.
Make sure TAMESIDE ADVERTISER & TAMESIDE REPORTER Print THE FACTS
before May 5th,and the Manchester Evening News.
Are these media types also on THE BOOKS ????????????????
I`m stunned reading these latest blogs indicated above.
Our bloody money going into Union Members Pockets,a total scandal
Lets have the names of these Union
Members.
I know some Councillors are Union Agents,don`t tell me they are picking
our pockets again.
Don`t tell me the Tameside Executives
and Borough Solicitor and Finance Director don`t know about this disgusting Union Member money.
If not they should go for negligence
If yes they should go for known negligence.
A new book reveals the extent of Israeli support for Argentina during the Falklands War. Israeli PM and terrorist War criminal Menacim Begin was right behind the policy.
Any comment from our local "Labour Friends of Israel"

*Remember Ecclestonegate? Well Brenda backed it up and was fully against a ban on tobacco advertising claiming it would lose 9,000 jobs.
*British jobs for British workers? Brenda was way ahead of you all when she went against British jobs moving abroad for companies to save money. Back in 2005!
*Then the smoking ban in public places. You guessed it - Brenda was there again fully against it.
We just can't see how Brenda can continue with her job being responsible for health in Tameside and fronting an anti-smoking campaign when her campaign history of going against the Labour government's anti-smoking legislation shows some massive contradictions and hypocrisy - she should resign.
UPDATE 05/03/09: Looks like this has made it to the press with no credit mentioned. The Tameside Advertiser published it on this weeks edition on page two and online. Word of Brenda has also spread nationally to this weeks Private Eye (Eye: 1231) Rotten Boroughs column.
And this bloody hypocrite is standing again on May 5th plus heavily involved in Union representations like Unite.
Could she have a hand in the latest TMBC scandal of bankrolling Union Reps
Another bottom of the barrel cretin climbing the TMBC ladder like some other previous Tameside friendly women have done over the years ??
We in Denton should drop this parasite who Klingons to Andrew Gwynne`s shirt flap where it counts.
Having just bought my Daily Mail I see TMBC spent £336,718 in its salary bill for Union Representatives
So 8.4 Full Time Union Reps dipped into my and your pockets courtesy of TMBC paying them from OUR MONEY.
Talk about corrupt to the core why haven`t the Police and Government Agencies set up a robust investigation,or are they also implicated in Tameside Council constant sleaze.
How dare this Labour Council seek votes,they need bloody well exterminating on May 5th
Dear Ms Sandra Stewart (Borough Solicititor)
Dear Ms Stewart
Please implement this FOI request and confirm its receipt by return.
Because TMBC figures in a press release in the Daily Mail dated April 29th 2011 and stated that within the Tameside Salary Bill 2010/2011 a sum of £336,718 was paid to 8.4 Full Time Union Officials.
I want to know who are the recipients of this Council Tax funding paid for by the Tameside Electorate and I require names and positions held,and which TMBC Officials were/are aware of these
payments.
Yours sincerely
John.Hall
What a disgrace to Britain the are.
One was Yvonne Cartey who has taken the redundancy package, a nice little nest egg and is now standing in Ashton St Michaels Ward
Not Tameside Council in Greater Manchester AT IT AGAIN. This almost totally dominated Despot Labour Council have always believed they are immune from investigation,in fact they somehow get more BEACON AWARDS then most other Councils..How ???

Mr Hall, don't hold your breath.
Anon,
I have been forwarded a document which almost certainly is genuine and which does expose extremely suspicious voting patterns in a Tameside care home during the 2008 elections. I am contemplating posting it on this blog to prove electoral malpractice in this borough. I will of course have to blank out names of residents while leaving recognisable parts of the document in place as proof of its authenticity.
TC, if you feel like wasting a few minutes of your life stick it in an envelope and send it to the Borough's electoral overseers. They will react with the same alacrity as a corpse that has had its brain removed and the same level of integrity as Robert Mugabe.
erm... should make interesting reading tc but the marked register doesn't have who has voted by post on it. Ask one of your well versed agents and candidates what it is and they should explain.
90% turnout, hmmm sounds odd. A bit like 'the community' turnout.
