The Creation

Source: Freepik

According to Jewish folklore, today, in 4004 BC, Jehovah created the Earth. He allegedly brought the planet into existence by issuing instructions for the various aspects of the world that enabled life, to come into being over six days. This is the tradition inherited by Christians and recorded in the Old Testament. Some Jews also held that there is a perfect Godhead, beyond the comprehension of mankind and the Earth is simply the product of aspects of this higher plane finding their way down to our level of existence. A more pessimistic Judaic tradition claims that God’s first attempt at creation was unsatisfactory and the Earth was later made from the rubble of his first attempt.

Meanwhile in East Manchester, the pre-Bonfire Night tradition of Cob-coaling used to take place in the last week of October. Children would go from door to door in Stalybridge and Dukinfield asking for coal and wood from their neighbours for the bonfires they were busily preparing.

Police say they are supporting clean-up operations which taking place following floods across Greater Manchester in Bolton, Didsbury, Harpurhey, Stalybridge, Stockport and Wigan - along with the Environment Agency, National Highways and the fire service.

Emergency services are receiving reports of “damage, risk to life and stranded vehicles”.

The shithead gov continue to piss about with their climate response

“How could I look my grandchildren in the eye and say I knew what was happening to the world and did nothing.” - David Attenborough

I find it very odd that so many ordinary people in Britain put their political faith in Reform UK, a political party owned and run by billionaires and millionaires. Not only is it highly unlikely that these people have any real understanding of what the struggle of day-to-day life is like for the majority of British citizens, but many of them are stupidly short-sighted.

From across the world we are hearing reports of more and more extreme weather events – hurricanes, tsunamis, drought, wild fires - accompanied by resulting loss of life.

Here in Britain the Financial Times carried this headline:

“England drenched after the wettest 18 months since records began in 1886.” (15/03/24)

The effects of climate change have continues into 2025 with the Manchester area suffering catastrophic flooding in the last few days.

“Hundreds of people have been forced to leave their homes after heavy rain and floods battered large parts of north-west England, leaving cars abandoned and cancelling trains. Greater Manchester Police declared a major incident after torrential downpours across Stockport, Bolton, Didsbury, Harpurhey, Stalybridge and Wigan"  (BBC:01/01/250

How have the super–rich  that run Reform UK responded to climate change? Not well!

Just a couple of weeks ago:

“Nigel Farage was the “special guest of honour” and keynote speaker at the launch of the UK branch of US-based climate denial think tank, the Heartland Institute, on Tuesday.” (leftfootforward: 20/12/24)

During the general election Farage and Reform UK called for a referendum to abolish Britain’s target of net zero greenhouse emissions. Former Conservative Party donor, Richard Tice, Deputy Leader Of Reform UK, together with Nigel Farage have:

“… been promoting misinformation about climate change… the denial of scientific truths undermines public trust, and ultimately democracy…."  (London School of Economics: 17/06/24)

Ex-Tory Lee Anderson, is reported to have said ‘only the odd weirdo’ cares about reducing carbon emissions in the UK, claiming that fossil fuels are a “gift of God" and should continue to be used.

Nick Candy, billionaire property developer, has recently defected from the Conservative Party to become Reform UK Treasurer, so presumably shares their climate change denial policies and agrees with his right-wing activist wife when she stated:

“‘I just think the climate crisis, or lack of, is not a crisis. I mean the air is better than when I was growing up."  (Metro: 07//24)

So while Britain is subject to increasingly extreme weather conditions, while more and more of British people are finding their homes and businesses underwater, Reform UK is in denial.

Why is this? One theory is that Reform UK, by blaming  green policies for pushing up costs for consumers and businesses, can gain votes from the backlash against costly climate action. It is certainly true that green policies are costly, an expense we will all have to bear. Unfortunately, as the experience of the Manchester district has demonstrated this week, the cost of doing nothing can be even greater.

Maybe the billionaires and millionaires that own Reform UK should take note of this quote:

 “If you really think that the environment is less important than the economy, try holding your breath while you count your money.”– Guy McPherson

STALEY BRIDGE STALYBRIDGE

this is Staley bridge

my father's birthplace

here is a picture

of me in a pram

my sister

in a pram

on a big bridge

crossing the Tame river

this is not

that Staley bridge where

the Saxons crushed the

Vikings

rushing back to

meet my

Norman ancestors at Hastings

and we

know what happened there

****

Yes, here we are

up front Mossley

in that picture, my

Mother

daughter of a war hero

pushing our pram

and there, no doubt,

the great cotton mills

still

doing their job though

not now in

their hey day

postmodernity,

postcoloniality

what landscape altering modes

of production ushered

in in

their wake

and here is Engels incliding

text on this place in his seminal

work on

the working class

in England

and here I am

years later, studying satire living

in his monument house

in Oxford Street Manchester

water

under this bridge, water

connecting

us all

Tipperary, Stalybridge,

Mahikeng South Africa

figures

in a Lowry paintimg

they come

and they go

water

under this bridge then

so much water we

tend to

forget about

water headed

to the port of slavery

same water in the skiffle

psychedelia of those

Sergeant Pepper people

magicians of the airwaves

conjurors of

a whole new

line

in identity

fruit of the clash of

working class proclivities

with

transcendental

mind

clash, I say,

but what a melding, beloved

blending

without which

no way this space, or place,

or room

to talk

gone these guys

or finally fading

gone

those mills of my childhood

Spitfire stories

of how

we stood alone

everything reconfigured,

outright repurposed

voices (and their words)

I fail to recognise, alien

strange

elevated above whilst

so out of frame

somehow talking all

necessities of suppression

commandeering everything

stretching

the distance below

to above

to breaking point

viewed from

the Southern tip of Africa, product

victim of

all that this is metonym of

all this place

this life

of which

I speak

ths

shock

could not be more

extreme

their druid name

we cross

all our lives

Starlink Installation Stalybridge.

Fixed Price Starlink Installation £200.00 complete includes all brackets..

Here we have a new Starlink installation carried out by Andy and Ethan in Stalybridge, Tameside for a recently renovated old farm house that now needed the internet updating.

The customer in this case had been using BT line but had now been offered the opportunity of working from home but the down side a good connection to the internet was needed for Zoom etc, the mobile network option was also a no go due to the remote location.

They had initially contacted us for a bit of advice about the reliability of Starlink and off the back of the phone call took the plunge and ordered the equipment.

The equip to arrived within a week and we arranged a date to do the install customer had sent over a few pictures of the property so we already new where it was going and again we offered a fixed fee including all the brackets. The Starkink was fitted on a alloy mast and galvanised bracket with cable fed down to the lounge with a wall socket brush plate to finish off, speeds of 190mbs coming in straight away so a very happy customer.

Family and friends unite to give blood in memory of Manchester teenager

More than 70 family members and friends of a 14-year-old girl from Greater Manchester who sadly died from acute liver failure gave blood in her memory at an emotional donation session held at the school she attended. Maisie Almond from Stalybridge fell ill suddenly in September 2024 and was listed for a liver transplant. A donor match was found for Maisie but tragically she became too weak to…
