Govt set to take over running of Liverpool according to report

[Invisible Man's Bandage]

I'll post this here but it is specific to Liverpool.

The Telegraph are reporting that the government is on the verge of taking over the running of Liverpool due to endemic corruption. Commissioners would be sent in to run the city and this would be unprecedented in recent times for a city this size. Northampton, Rotherham and Tower Hamlets have been run on this basis in recent years.

The city or the football club?

Hopefully the football club.:)

It’s corrupt enough already even before the government gets its hands on it!

Can’t see what could possibly go wrong here.

It can hardly be any worse than the cesspit of drugs, corruption and general criminality that it is at the moment.
I have relatives in the city so I know of the corruption that goes on.

Tbf, it’s some achievement to find an administration arguably even more corrupt than the one they are replacing.

Have we gone back to the 80's?

History shows this won't end well...

Part of me was hoping it was the football club just to see how UEFA treat them.

It is telling that one of the people who has been arrested for corruption is good old Degsy. He was kicked out of office in the 80's but still (allegedly) runs the city.
Very brave of the Tories but it is about time.

They should just ape the orange moron again and build a big wall around the place.

Cynic in me says it's all about villifying a city with possibly the strongest left wing influence in the country.

By all means weed out all the corrupt cunts. Some innocent people will be tarred by the same brush for happening to be socialists.

Tony Soprano Johnson is upset at missing out on his tribute - can't have corruption with the Govt taking their slice.....

Doing Starmers work for him. Making the lw safe seats safe for the 'centre-left' again.

I think you mean the Republic or the football club

 

[Ifwecouldjust.......]

Tories have always hated the Liverpudlians.....and would love to do one over on them.

 

[I'm With Stupid]

It's corrupt, so it needs to be run by a government that handed billions of pounds of contracts to their mates with no tendering process? Yeah, seems legit.
