Japanese Knotweed, Ashton under Lyne



This is one invader we really do not want taking over Tameside. Well done to the lady who filmed and narrated the clip above. She is obviously aware of the devastation wrought upon the local flora and fauna by this invasive plant.

For anyone who is unsure of exactly what Japanese Knotweed is, if you click here you will find out everything you need to know courtesy of Devon County Council.

I myself was intending to take some pictures of this nightmare pest which is just beginning to encroach upon parts of Haughton Green Woods.

A couple of years ago I made a video of my dog attacking and destroying this cursed weed on the banks of the River Tame along with another alien invader called Himalayan Balsam. The clip can be watched below.

it would be if it was knotweed ?

Tameside Citizen said...

What do you mean Aluman? You can clearly see that it is Knotweed.

Alf Garnett said...

that new vid could well be but not the stuff your dog is munthing on

Tameside Citizen said...

If you read what I said you would have known the dog was destroying Japanese Knotweed and Himalayan Balsam. They both grow together on the riverbank. If you take close look at the still image before clicking the arrow to start the video there is absolutely no mistaking the fact that it is Japanese Knotweed.

Alf Garnett said...

I dont see it

Tameside Citizen said...

Without wishing to sound impolite, may I suggest you are not fully aware of what Japanese Knotweed actually is. To see some pictures of this invasive weed click here.

Alf Garnett said...

i still dont see it ? it mite be you

CrowhillCrazy said...

I can see it, but look at 5 minutes 54sec onwards, that is clearly Knotweed. That dog deserves a medal.

Mr Tameside Citizen, don't argue with Aluman, he is the brains on this blog and you know it.

Agent Orange said...

Nice looking dog.
I agree about the Knotweed, all aggressive foreign invaders should be dealt with.

F**k off said...

How to deal with agressive, expansionist foreign invaders:

Mr Neutral: 'No comment.'

Mr S***thouse: 'If we're nice to them and let them do what they want they might not hurt us.'

Mr PC: We need to live together as one on this planet and bringing large numbers of people in, blending all races, cultures and creeds together will achieve that. I don't wish to discuss the fact that they're outbreeding us ten to one and we're obviously going to be eradicated, or that all my ideas are based on 'morality'- something that doesn't exist- and that they deny the most basic truths of human nature. Or that tens of millions of Britons want to cherish, keep and preserve their national identity, history and heritage of thousands of years. We should behave as if this island emerged from the sea sixty years ago and treat all cultures and peoples exactly the same. We must have a mongrelised, directionless mass that believes in nothing then...err.'

Mr Tory voter: 'Mr Cameron is dealing with it.'

Mr LibDem voter: 'Immigration, tut, that will take care of itself. Now to business, we want a tax on breathing, ten million wind turbines and the age of consent lowered to twelve...months.'

Mr Labour voter: 'Oh I'm the king of the swingers, the jungle VIP....'.
Or alternatively: Allahu Akbar!

In an opinion poll conducted this week Labour scored 40%. Thirteen disastrous years clearly wasn't enough for some.
It does demonstrate the increasing number of subnormal and fundamentally inferior people, and if that increase continues Britain may be finished by democracy itself.

Thanks for posting these videos. I will have a look out for these weeds when I am down by the canal tomorrow.

Roy West said...

Disclaimer: That post was not from me; I have no intention of planting Japanese Knotweed in my garden, but I would like to create a beautiful Japanese garden one day (minus any knotweed). Those who imitate me and talk about me, thanks very much. Remember what Oscar Wilde said about that.

Tameside Citizen said...

The collar was faded red - not pink. He no longer has it. To be honest he used to go through one of those collars which were purchased from the large pet store at Snipe about once a year.

His current collar come from Ashton market and it only cost £8 and it is far more durable than the ones from the large pet store. Other people have had similar issues with the red collars from that store too if you read the reviews, but saying that, he is a handful and often got it covered in mud and wet which probably lead to premature wear.

A new huge quango set up with plenty of Labourites,and People who have worked their way into the NHS administration from being ie a TMBC Ex Chief Executive who oversaw the TEL scandal and a close friend of R.Oldham.plus a MEN previous Editor who sought to promote Labour,and not forgetting Dr.Chand who prefers not to respond to the plebs who write or E.Mail him and it would be worth noting what TC Posters think.
On the agenda`s we appear to have race discrimination,sex diseases,
and diseases common in our coloured
communities,and if you want help with your obesity,drinking,smoking then you could seemingly get yourse4lf a personal type of Trainer.
Interesting what "you think" TC Posters should you read all the info.
Having read the full internet site
references and objectives,and the Committees set up inside the Quango,how much is this set-up going to cost us.being that we are cutting front line medics in Tameside.
I thought Surgeons,Physio`s,Nurses
Consultants and Doctors were where we expect our Health concerns to be dealt with.
In the 50`s,60`s 70`s the NHS appeared to cope quite well courtesy of GP`s and Hospitals
including Matrons,so what`s going on with the constant new NHS Administrators who are obviously have close linked with Labour Councils.
Already they have identified the health problems we encounter and causes,strange again that I couldn`t find one reference to the Toxic Air we ingest.
I also note Ms C Green of Tameside Hospital is linked and the Council.
Hey Ho here we go again.

i didn`t create the new quango so

Im sure Hall doesnt mind if we take his rants with a large pinch of salt. He's now complaining that the Conservative Government see fit to appoint some of the same people that the Labour Government would. Perhaps, Hall, they have some skills for the job rather than a single issue ranter.

It's a shame that you never answer the questions that are put to you Hall, instead of the ones you wish were put to you.

You still havent answered these simple questions about your claim that the awful heart disease stats for Tameside are all down to the M67/M60 junction

1, where is the evidence that the pollution caused by road traffic is the cause of heart disease that you claimed in your last rant? - and dont cite that BBC web page that says "might", might is not does

2, If, as you claim, heart disease in Tameside is caused by the M67/M60 road junction, why is heart disease not far worse in more congested locations?

3, If, as you claim, the M67/M60 junction is so detrimental to health, why do residents of Denton West have a better life expectancy than many others in Tameside.

You keep repeating the rants and Ill keep repeating the basic questions.

Professor Byrnestein said...

Japanese Knotweed can be seen as the inevitable consequence of unrestrained globalism/capitalism.

The move from a structuralist account in which capital is understood to structure social relations in relatively homologous ways to a view of hegemony in which power relations are subject to repetition, convergence, and rearticulation brought the question of temporality into the thinking of structure, and marked a shift from a form of Althusserian theory that takes structural totalities as theoretical objects to one in which the insights into the contingent possibility of structure inaugurate a renewed conception of hegemony as bound up with the contingent sites and strategies of the rearticulation of power.

Professor Byrnestein said...

Are plants conscious of their own mortality?

Total presence breaks on the univocal predication of the exterior absolute the absolute existent (of that of which it is not possible to univocally predicate an outside, while the equivocal predication of the outside of the absolute exterior is possible of that of which the reality so predicated is not the reality, viz., of the dark/of the self, the identity of which is not outside the absolute identity of the outside, which is to say that the equivocal predication of identity is possible of the self-identity which is not identity, while identity is univocally predicated of the limit to the darkness, of the limit of the reality of the self). This is the real exteriority of the absolute outside: the reality of the absolutely unconditioned absolute outside univocally predicated of the dark: the light univocally predicated of the darkness: the shining of the light univocally predicated of the limit of the darkness: actuality univocally predicated of the other of self-identity: existence univocally predicated of the absolutely unconditioned other of the self. The precision of the shining of the light breaking the dark is the other-identity of the light. The precision of the absolutely minimum transcendence of the dark is the light itself/the absolutely unconditioned exteriority of existence for the first time/the absolutely facial identity of existence/the proportion of the new creation sans depth/the light itself ex nihilo: the dark itself univocally identified, i.e., not self-identity identity itself equivocally, not the dark itself equivocally, in “self-alienation,” not “self-identity, itself in self-alienation” “released” in and by “otherness,” and “actual other,” “itself,” not the abysmal inversion of the light, the reality of the darkness equivocally, absolute identity equivocally predicated of the self/selfhood equivocally predicated of the dark (the reality of this darkness the other-self-covering of identity which is the identification person-self).

Please take the three questions as put by Mr Shepley and answer each one. A perfectly normal task as you seem to say you have already answered them.

As for your post I'm not sure of your point as these organizations are set up across the country with similar representatives and similar agendas. Maybe your pet subject doesn't feature because you, and others, have not proven your point.

The Electorate should be interested in the background of those chosen as administrators of this new large organisation,whether their backgrounds are based on Health matters ?,what is their actual experience in that field ?,and are their actual objectives based on greatly improving the NHS ? or is the organisation simply a talking shop where you can earn money,take no responsibilities,and then drift on again to other Quango`s to embellish your status.
Its a merry go round or you could call it another nice gravy train.
And just because other such groups have been formed definitely does not indicate its creators are not politically biased with motives.
That`s why the UK is a cess pit full of mediocre parasites looking for safe hideouts until retirement.
When you get Councils spreading their tentacles into the many external groups and organisations

I've been struggling to get even the most low paying and meaningless work for three years. I am kind, intelligent, honest and I would happily give my life to help the selfish morons who I call my kinsmen.

Is this the kind of society we belong in?
Or should we strive for an existence where luxury in any quantity is seen as a curse and where service towards your people is everyday and natural?

Where everybody has jobs to do regardless of ridiculous paper qualifications and the community grows and distributes its own crops and meat to all who have contributed.

Our modern society is sick and alien, a product of Jewish usury, selfishness, greed and an asian mental illness known to us as Christianity. Free yourself click my link above, there is another way.

I also recommend the teaching of the Aryan (you heard me) Buddha also, that man was a product of our ancient culture through and through.

SerpentSlayer said...

It would tick some boxes but not the most important one. I can tolerate alien peoples, talk to them and in some cases even be remotely friendly but your soul requires you to be around your own.

One can never live fully surrounded by foreign peoples to whom you owe no loyalty or love. We possess a soul in order to fulfill its needs we need live as was intended rather than under foreign imposed systems.

Lowlives may be able to emulate and actively embrace alien cultures but nobody belonging to the higher races possessed of any decency can deny the needs of their soul.

System said...

'Anon it's called democracy', yes but the electorate are the least intelligent they've ever been. Democracy could finish this country if chavs etc, who are little more than gorillas continue to multiply at their present rate, and are allowed to vote despite being extremely ignorant and/or borderline moronic.

Re Councillor Taylor
I was told by a senior member of staff at the Tameside Advertiser a few years ago that he was never out of their offices,but what really pi---- them off was that they had to renew his comments for the Advertiser and make many corrections.
He is quite illiterate, was the phrase used.
Is this still the case ??

So Liverpool has never been one of the nation's largest immigration gateways then? Better tell the Irish for a start.

Also, the Bishop quoted above seems to be on about the importance of the family as a foundation of society - nowt to do with 'forrins' (who seem quite keen on the concept...)

Was it the mass immigration, grinding poverty or cholera you look back on so fondly?

Honour killings said...

Past immigration into Liverpool or the UK at large was minicsule compared to what's happening now. 334,000 let in in 2010 alone, in the middle of a recession, to either ponce off the benefits system or as imported cheap labour. Plus, virtually all of those i9n the past were similar to us culturally, in general outlook and racially - like the irish, and could and did assimilate, integrate and intermarry. Totally different to now, with hordes of people with an utterly alien outlook, with no loyalty to or concern for Britain, its history, heritage, culture and identity.
Bishop Chavasse was talking about the strength of the NATION being built upon the strength of the family structure, which has been significantly weakened in the last few decades. If you're referring to the strength of foreign culture's family structures I assume you mean for example Islam, that fine upholder of domestic decency and its long tradition of equal rights for women. Not many divorces as being beaten is generally considered better than being incinerated. Or perhaps you mean the abandonment rate of Afro-Caribbean fathers which puts even the high rates of our home grown chavs to shame. But of course it's easier to kick your own kind in the teeth isn't it.
We've got our own problems in this area that need dealing with, without importing, en masse, a whole new set from abroad.

The Humane Slaughter Association said...

Jewish ritual forbids Jews to consume the hindquarters of animals killed for food. Actually Gentiles eat this meat, because for practically every animal slaughtered by the Jewish Kosher method of Shechita, there is a whole hindquarters available for Gentile consumption, in Jewish founded or run Supermarkets such as Sainsbury's, Tesco and Marks and Spencer. This is why the numbers of animals slaughtered by this method so greatly exceeds the needs of the Jewish population in Britain, which is estimated at 300,000-500,000.

The fact is some Muslims now agree to the humane pre-stunning of animals prior to slaughter so they do not feel pain, but the Jews do not.

I hear little from Griffin's pro-Israel BNP and 'Tommy Robinson's' pro-Israel EDL about the Jewish ritual slaughter of animals, only about Halal.

The Humane Slaughter Association is opposed to ritual slaughter without pre-stunning.

Tameside MBC`s cloak of secrecy.
is totally disgusting in that "Councillors Declaration of Interests"are held in an office filing cabinet in Ashton.
Yes you can book an appointment to visit and view but TMBC prefer not to follow all other Councils whose Councillor Interests are shown on the Internet.
You can read MP`s Declaration of Interests on the Internet including the Prime Ministers,and your MP`s in Tameside,and you can read the House of Lords Interests Files on the Net.
Why is a Council like TMBC allowed to decide not to show in an open and transparent manner the Outside Interests of those paid for by us.

Besides letters to the Borough Solicitor and the Chief Executive
demanding this facility a campaign should be commenced via TC to find out via a questionnaire
how many in Tameside want to see Councillors Interests shown on the Internet ??
The following indicates just one of the Stalinist protection methods used to protect our "unfit for purpose" Councillors.
I quote
"10. Sensitive information

Where you consider that the information relating to any of your personal interests is sensitive information, and your authority's monitoring officer agrees, you need not include that information when registering that interest, or, as the case may be, a change to that interest under paragraph 13.

You must, within 28 days of becoming aware of any change of circumstances which means that information excluded under paragraph (1) is no longer sensitive information, notify your authority's monitoring officer asking that the information be included in your authority's register of members' interests.

In this Code, "sensitive information" means information whose availability for inspection by the public creates, or is likely to create, a serious risk that you or a person who lives with you may be subjected to violence or intimidation.

The Jews expect to be able to treat us as cattle and for there to be no consequences for them. Griffin has it wrong and so do all the Nationalists who ignore the Jewsih question.

They may hold positions of power and have our people brainwashed to the point of hysteria but ignoring the problem will not make it go away, the ED's and other civic nationalists do this with the racial issue.

The answer to both is to have the evidence and to strike often and without fear. Why cower and hope to be spared slander when that is all they can do, very few people are incarcerated for speaking the truth and even less are assasinated.

No straw death for me and I encourage others to foster the same attitude, expose the Jews and their banking dynasties, their sick lies, degenerate art and ritual murders. Do so until you can no longer type or speak just make sure you never fear such murderous abominations.

Britain 2011, yellow nation said...

ALL slaughter without pre-stunning should be banned.
If a British slaughterman, in his own country, had a machinery breakdown and killed the last few animals without pre-stunning, he would be prosecuted, and you can guarantee unprincipled, shithouse organisations like the RSPCA would be all over it.
Whilst foreigners using barbaric alien methods are allowed to commit these atrocities on an industrial scale.
The animal welfare organisation's silence on the latter is deafening and nauseating.
