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.
