Saint Jade of Goody

Dear Comrades,

It is with great sadness to announce the death of Saint Jade of Goody who battled with cervical cancer. She leaves a £4m legacy to her two sons before inheritance tax.

What gets me about all this is that I have cancer too and I don't get any mass media attention. I don't have OK or Heat magazine knocking on my door. I am to be re-elected in 2010 and I need as much publicity between now and then to make people think how wonderful I am. But that is all to change as I hire Tameside Council's answer to Max Clifford, Darrell Beck. He will lead my publicity campaign to win back the hearts of the peoples popular republic of Tameside. He has many connections to stop sensationalist reporting in the likes of the Tameside Pradvatiser and the Tameside Unreported as he was once was a former journalist himself for the Pradvatiser.

I must apologize for my lack of attendance at the council offices recently, but the doctors have advised that I take as much rest in my socialist citadel on Back Moor. I hope to see you soon as these house extensions don't pay for themselves!

Regards,



Cllr. Roy Oldham CBE.
Executive Leader

Tameside Jobs for Tameside Workers

Dear Comrades,

I would first of all like to congratulate my fellow comrades for their glorious win for the Hyde Newton By-election, even though I think Phil Fitzpatrick is a jumped up prick like his brother. It is a win for Labour and that means a win for Tameside.

As many of you have read recently in the press along with numerous adverts propagating the borough, I have launched the "Tameside Works First" innitiative or also known as "Tameside Jobs for Tameside Workers". It is a line I got from my fellow comrade, Nick Griffin Gordon Brown who said I could use it. It worked for us in Hyde Newton.

We are going to spend £12m on public works in the borough, but we shall use private contractors from Tameside instead of our own staff. I have had many complaints about this as many are saying that this breaks local government procurement laws, but I said fuck it - Sandy will sort it.

I am off now to take my morphine drip.

Regards,



Cllr. Roy Oldham CBE.

Socialism from the Sickbed

Dear Comrades,

As many of you know, I am in for my operation at Stepping Hill Hospital in Stockport to have my cancerous bladder removed. Many of you may wonder why I have opted for a non Tameside Hospital, this was due to advice from Dr. Kailash Chand who told me that Tameside Hospital was an utter shit hole - however he said it was OK for the likes of you.

Whilst I am away I have left the leaders duties to Comrade Kitchen. If you have any issues then you may mail them to him at joe.kitchen@tameside.gov.uk.

Regards,



Cllr. Roy Oldham CBE
Executive Leader

Welcome Comrades!

Dear Comrades,

I welcome you to my blog, The Executive Leader's Decree. It is my latest venture to control the media in Tameside where I share my thoughts and feelings with you all. So far we have many areas of the media covered including local press, radio, TV and now we have a blog.

For those unaware of my position, but should; I am the Executive Leader of the Labour controlled Tameside Council. I have lead the council for over 29 victorious years and will do so to the day of my death.

I shall bid you all farewell until my next post. In the mean time you may wish to add me to your friends on Facebook. I order you to do so!

Regards,



Cllr. Roy Oldham CBE.
