Govt set to take over running of Liverpool according to report

[Invisible Man's Bandage]

Degsy saying its a "politically corrupt front to democracy" sic.

I think he might mean affront but you have to say he has some front, the bent **** :)

 

[bluejon]

The Tories should give them a referendum to leave. Imagine the piss boiling in Scotland.

Or give the rest of us a referendum for the scousers to leave?

 

[Blue Mist]

Scratching my head here that one of the most corrupt MPs has been put in charge of privatisation of Liverpool Council services. I bet he's pulling his cock off thinking of all those bungs he'll get whilst destroying the City which has been the bane of the Tories for centuries.

Oh come on Mat, you were doing alright until you put destroying the city.
For a City that is twined with Alepo, but only because Bagdad refused, that is going some. It is rotten to the very core.

For centuries? I think not. Unionists (think Belfast) held Liverpool for many, many years. Catholics could not even get a job on the trams. It was as late as 1955 (1955!) that Labour gained control, a good generation later than in most similar cities. Since then of course there has also been a period of Liberal control.

For anyone in doubt Unionists = Tories.

Although Liverpool is generally seen as very left-wing, there is a good argument to be made that historically it was a far less radical place than Manchester.

A great historical debate to have.

Unlike Manchester the Scousers crowed more about their victories.

Manchester created the TUC and produced the first working man's newspaper.

Up to 100 mill dished out on bent contracts etc.

Liverpool council may have squandered up to £100m of public money

Sources say authority at centre of corruption allegations lost millions through questionable transactions

Shocking underperformance, the Tories will have that up to £100bn in no time.

Classic whataboutery.

According to many on here Labour, and the Left in particular, are supposed to be about looking after the poor, downtrodden masses instead of looking after themselves and their bent cronies.

Clearly not.

Manchester is without doubt the more radical city.

Be fair. £100m is only 150% more than the value of the development Jenrick approved after the developer sat next to him at a Tory fundraising dinner. (The donation to Tory funds came later.)

Tot up what Johnson wasted as mayor of London, and £100m sounds about right. A garden bridge anyone? Contracts for his lover?

There is no debate until the 80s (for a brief timewhere a few gobshites shouted socialism but didn't practice it) and then after Liverpool was always a tory city and then Lib dem, it is only recently Labour has has majority power and as per those deluded scouse cunts, they have made some myth out of a dockers strike, Alan Bleasdale and Ricky Thomlinsons jail time into some fake socialist history.

Attention seeking, Sock robbin cunts


That saying, the tories are as bent as Liverpool council, the people are switching from one corrupt lot to another.

All seats of power can be corrupted by those not pure or heart, even those that start out socialist in belief.

Our politcal/economic atructure is geared to corrupt all officials as happens in every nation throughout history, backhqnders and dodgy deals.

Until governments are open none will be honest and working uniquely for the good of the common person

Yet more whataboutery.

This thread is about a bent Labour council. Would you care to offer an opinion on that?

Apparently corruption is fine because the Tories are [allegedly] at it.

By the logic of some on here I could go murder my neighbour but then offer a defence of “I’m not as bad as that Fred and Rose West”

Fair point, but when it's the equivalent of Fred and Rose making the allegation then there's still a bit of a problem.

Fair point, but when it's the equivalent of Fred and Rose making the allegation then there's still a bit of a problem.

But it’s not. The report into the running of the council has been backed by local Labour MPs. The only people speaking out about it include Len McClusky (heavily involved with the principal property developer) and Derek Hatton (under police investigation).

This is a left wing Labour council that has run Liverpool for decades that is rotten to the core.

Any particular thoughts on that or does everything just relate to the Tories in your world?
