Gary Tumulty Salford BNP Wastes £40-80,000 of British taxpayers money on spurious FOI costs

Two days ago we brought you the news about how Gary Tumulty was claiming to be outraged by the amount of money that Asylum Seekers were getting whilst pensioners were seemingly freezing in his borough of Salford. He claimed he was fed up of the amount of money being wasted locally by Salford.

However it appears that Mr Tumulty of Salford BNP is not concerned when it comes to him being the originator of money being wasted and is costing Salford City Council £1000s in spurious Freedom of Information Requests to Salford City Council where he claims to be living and employed by the Council as a Caretaker. Not content with demonising Asylum Seekers in order to stir up racial tension , he has now taken to attacking Local Councillors as well. He is also going to great lengths to cost Salford City Council lots of money :

Tumulty complains about how much money the local council is spending on various initiatives , claiming to be acting in the 'Public Interest' by making various Freedom Of Information requests in the borough.

A Freedom Of Information request can cost anywhere up to £650 in adminstration and clerical enquiries. His first request was made twelve months ago and his most recent being on the 10th November this year.

Gary Tumulty of Salford BNP has made to date a staggering 124 FOI requests! :

The nature of these requests are spurious at best and seem to concentrate on things like trying to find out the ethnicity of HIV+/AIDS sufferers in Salford, the ethnicity of Drug bustees and the ethnicity of those licensed to sell alcohol in the borough (at least three FOI requests on 'Beer' alone) in fact Tumulty seems to be mainly focused on ethnicity , which as a BNP Organiser and Candidate should not surprise anybody

We estimate that Gary Tumulty is costing Salford City Council anywhere between £40,000-£80,000 a year with these spurious Freedom of Information Requests perhaps local residents would like to ask Mr Tumulty why he is intent on wasting so much of the Council's Budgets on asking such FOI requests as 'How many Gamestations have the council bought'

We are sure that local residents of Salford would be very interested in knowing how between £40-80,000 of British Tax Payers Money is being wasted by the British National Party in Salford and where this money could be better spent on Pensioners and the vunerable and needy in the borough as we approach the harsh winter months.

Binmen's BNP flyer warning

Council chiefs have pledged to tighten inspections after a BNP flyer was seen on a bin lorry. Formal warnings have now been issued to the people responsible for displaying the leaflet.

The lorry was doing its rounds in Worsley, Salford, when a resident caught the flyer on camera. Salford council bosses have now warned staff that promoting political parties is against the rules.

Union bosses say they hope lessons have been learned. Coun Joe Murphy said: "I have explained to staff that some people may find such material offensive. And I reminded them that the council has strict rules on promoting political parties in this way."

BNP leaflet sparks probe

An investigation has been launched after a Salford council bin lorry was spotted displaying a BNP leaflet in the windscreen.

The bin lorry was doing its rounds in Lumber Lane, Worsley, when a resident captured the prominently positioned leaflet on camera.

Ben Cardwell, 24, who lives with fiancee Louise Morris, 29, said: "It took me totally by surprise. I was shocked by it. I called my fiancee to have a look and we both couldn't believe it. I wanted to put a complaint to the council. We didn't think it was allowed to put stickers up supporting any political party, never mind the BNP."

The council say investigations are continuing, but union bosses say the staff responsible should be suspended with immediate effect.

Alec McFadden, of Salford Unison, said: "I have never known any public authority to allow support of any political party, whether that be Labour or the Conservatives. It makes it ten times worse that it is the BNP - a fascist, racist organisation. The council should be taking immediate action and should suspend whoever is involved as soon as possible. The investigation should take place to find out who is involved but the council should be seen to respond quickly. This is a very serious matter."

Salford council has confirmed formal action will be taken against whoever put the flyer on the wagon, but has stressed it is still investigating the claims.

Coun Joe Murphy said: "The council has clear rules against using council property to promote political parties in this way. I've asked for a full investigation and formal action will be taken. However, until the investigation has been completed it's not appropriate to comment any further."
