Hypocrite Salter calls Pope “a bloke in a dress”

Reading West MP Martin Salter  accused the Pope of hypocrisy in a national newspaper blog. http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/news/author/msalter/
The Labour MP also referred to the pontiff as “a bloke in a dress.”

Millions of Catholics will now hate him, join the people of Reading and get in line. 

Arch hypocrite does it one more time. Is Salter turning into Oswald Mosley? He sure does a good impression of someone with anger issues. And sleep issues according to this pic.

Salter Speaks again! Pedlars

Martin Salter (Reading West, Labour)

I can confirm that there was a tragic funeral, which both I and Mr. Wilson had to go to. I am delighted that the Reading Borough Council Bill’s passage has been eased and that an accommodation has been found, but many of us have spent an inordinate amount of our lives-which we will not get back again-on the objections of Mr. Chope. He appears to base a lot of what he says on a conversation with a single significant pedlar, so will he confirm the communications that he has had with the pedlar community as a whole? I am confused as to why we have had to spend so much time on these measures.

Martin Salter (Reading West, Labour)

Does the hon. Gentleman realise that his council tax payers, like mine in Reading, welcome the legislation but question how much of their money has had to be spent on something that could have been resolved very easily by the Government if they had put a Bill before the House? This is not an ideal way to go about solving a comparatively simple problem, is it?

http://www.pedlars.info/ is a new website about this issue

Lobby your MP

If you want to contribute to the legislative process then your MP is the means by which you can achieve this. It is your MP’s voice in Parliament that makes a difference. Pedlars are grateful to Christopher Chope MP & Ian Liddell-Grainger MP for their submissions in Parliament – they have blocking motions in place at Second Reading on pedlar legislation in the Commons. write to your MP to support the blocking motion by other MP’s – and tell your MP why they should speak up in defence of your liberty and freedom to be a pedlar. click article by Parliamentary Agent to MP’s

Salter Speaks Parliament, privatisation of the NHS

Martin Salter (Reading West, Labour)

My hon. Friend mentions nursing. I am interested in the development of policy in that area. Does she intend to follow the Leader of the Opposition and meet the Nurses for Reform campaign group which advocates the wholesale privatisation of the NHS, including out-of-hours care?

www.keepournhspublic.com warn that Labours NHS privatisation program will hurt Labour. Is this a diversionary tactic to pretend that its a Tory plot to to it when they are doing it?

‘this Jewish girl’s account’ Anne Frank on Holocaust Day

One feature of this site is to highlight Salters words, his choice of words is so poor he doesnt need much else in the way of criticism. Please read the book written by Anne Frank, rather than accept the  Salters mysogeny.

‘Reading West MP Martin Salter joined the Dean of Reading Canon Brian Shenton to launch a hard-hitting exhibition on the horrors of racism, war and genocide on Monday 25^th January at Reading’s Broad Street Mall.

The exhibition entitled ‘Anne Frank – A History for Today’ was sponsored by Reading Borough Council and Reading Council for Racial Equality and tells the story of this Jewish girl’s account of the persecution by the Nazis in World War II.’

Meanwhile the fab Jane Griffiths questions if he was actually at the event.

Salter Speaks on ‘The Wright Committee’ Reform of parliament

Martin Salter (Reading West, Labour)

I am sure that the Leader of the House remains a committed reformer of Parliament, but thePrime Minister made the incredible commitment yesterday that he would implement all three tranches of the Wright Committee report. Will she assure the House that there will be an immediate vote as well as a full debate on 23 February on the resolution that the Wright Committee prepared, rather than any other device?

Harriet Harman (Lord Privy Seal, House of Commons; Camberwell & Peckham, Labour)

Actually, there are four tranches, as follows: the Chairs of Select Committees to be elected by the House, the membership of Select Committees, private Members’ motions that can be brought to the House to be debated and voted on, and the question of the House Committee. We want to take the opportunity to debate those matters and then adopt resolutions to give them effect. If, as I hope and expect, there is consensus in the House on those four areas, we want to get work under way. The point is to make a start on those matters over which there is the widest possible agreement.

Telegraph Blog

The man who said “There is no prospect of my ever blogging. What little I have seen of the blogsphere,  it seems to me to be the last refuge for tragic insomniacs who lack social skills.”

So guess what, he has started blogging! You can see it here  http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/news/author/msalter/

Unfortunately they wont let me comment, so much for openness! The editor says ”Let’s just clear something up. You can be as aggressive as you like towards Martin Salter in attacking his views, his record, his party, his support for the Government. What you can’t do is engage in personal abuse of *any* Telege personal dishonesty to him or her. This policy is going to be enforced strictly across the site. Get used to it.

There are specific legal issues relating to the poster called martinsnottheone, who is concealing his/her identity, but is engaged in a long-term personal campaign against Mr Salter which involves making many defamatory statements. We face legal action if we allow this person to use Telegraph blogs as an anonymous platform for this campaign.”

Martin got 3 previous version of this blog deleted, so scared is he of my opinions. So it isn’t a surprise that he is also scared of my comments. The surprise is that the Telegraph are going along with this.

Anyway, if this blog really contains actionablematerial, then why hasn’t Martin asked for its removal?

Potty About Potts

The campaign to establish a permanent memorial to Reading’s only Victoria Cross holder, Trooper Potts of the Berkshire Yeomanry, took another step forward today when Reading West MP Martin Salter spoke in Parliament today.

Trooper Fred Potts won his Victoria Cross at Gallipoli in 1915 for an act of bravery which has been described as “one of the most extraordinary” of the Great War. Trooper Potts, although badly wounded himself by Turkish gunfire, saved the life of his fellow Reading townsman, Trooper Andrews, by dragging his wounded body to safety on a shovel over three days and nights under intense enemy fire.

Subsequently, Trooper Potts said, “It never struck me that I had done any more than any other British soldier would have done for a comrade”.

Salter is helping to organise a Memorial Committee which will aim to raise in the order of £50,000 to establish a permanent memorial, possibly in the Forbury Gardens to commemorate the bravery and sacrifice of Trooper Potts and the men of the Berkshire Yeomanry. The Committee, which has the support of all parties in Reading, will be chaired by the Mayor, Councillor Fred Pugh. Currently there is only one small plaque commemorating this act of bravery on a wall in Brock Barracks.

Middle Class

For too long now the oppressed minority known as the ‘middle class’ have been victimised; from now on stand up and be proud.

Be free to:

discuss property values,

holiday in the Algarve,

send your children to a good school.

My people; be oppressed no longer, your freedom is just around the corner.

Salter Speaks About Harriet Harman The Reformer?

Martin Salter (Reading West, Labour)The Leader of the House has, certainly until now, enjoyed a justifiable reputation as a parliamentary reformer, but who can doubt that this place is still in need of reforming its arcane and antediluvian procedures and practices? However, with yet another business statement failing to announce time for a debate and a vote on the Wright report, does she not realise that she is, perhaps unfairly, in danger of being portrayed as a roadblock to reform, unless this House gets a specific date and time in the next couple of weeks?

Harriet Harman (Lord Privy Seal, House of Commons; Camberwell & Peckham, Labour)I thank my hon. Friend for raising the issue of my reputation, but what is important is not my reputation, but the reputation of this House and the fact that we need to make progress to restore public confidence. We have already taken many steps along that road, in sorting out the parliamentary allowance system and reforming how the House does its business, and building on that is very much the next step.

Salters Sense Of Snow

John Bercow (Speaker) {and friend of Salter, who organised his campaign for Speaker}

Order. Some 21 hon. and right hon. Members are seeking to catch my eye, so as ever short questions and short answers will be required if I am to have any chance of accommodating everybody. I call Mr. Martin Salter. [Laughter.]

Martin Salter (Reading West, Labour)

True grit, Mr. Speaker. I think the heckling needs to be short as well.

Does the Minister agree that one of the most important priorities must be to reopen the schools, to avoid damaging children’s education but also to allow other vital public sector workers such as ambulance drivers-and dare I say?-gritter lorry drivers, NHS staff, firefighters and Highways Agency staff to get to work themselves? Will he commend the approach of Mr. Charlie Clare, head teacher of Geoffrey Field junior school in my constituency, who got together the staff, some private contractors and some parents to clear the snow and ice themselves this weekend, so that his school could open today? Teachers cannot be immune from the challenges faced in cold weather. Other public sector workers have to deal with them.

Sadiq Khan (Minister of State, Department for Transport; Tooting, Labour)

As ever, I cannot disagree with anything that my hon. Friend has said, and I commend and endorse his points. It is worth bearing in mind that every day a school is closed, not only is children’s education disrupted but the knock-on effect means that the impact on their carers is phenomenal.
