Liverpool Thread - 2021/22

To be fair that isn't a myth made up be the city of liverpool, Thatcher dill wilfully try and destroy the city.

During that time manchester and other northern citys gave them 100% backing and stood in solidarity with liverpool, as did the mancunian populace ( days when it wasn't as petty as football rivalries).

Liverpool as a club are cynts and using the 80s decimation of the north( not just liverpool) by the tory cunts is opotunist, but it is still true


I have no gripe with them hating the tories or establishment, as I do

I have an issue that they make ot out like it is/was onlt them.

Socialist city, fuck off, Manchester is and always gas been more left wing than them cunts

Not quite true.

Liverpool and the militant city council tried to take on Thatcher and ultimately lost. Whilst this dragged on with other Conservative governments, Manchester’s Labour Council began working with Conservative Governments. Especially with Heseltine after the IRA bomb and the rebuilding of Manchester City Centre.

Liverpudlians have long argued that Manchester is London’s pet and has always had preferential treatment and privileges from London compared to Liverpool. (the Commonwealth Games, the BBC relocation North, Metrolink investment, HS2, etc) Liverpudlians see Manchester as trying to dominate Liverpool, trying to be the a mini London, and trying to be the Capital of the North.

I the meantime Liverpool was getting £1bill in Objective 1 funding from the EU as it was classed as a deprived European City. Where did all the funding go and on what?

Around 1615-19 a popilar ale house chant was "God save the king the most noble and glorious"

Over the years beyond 1619 this pub chant evolved as England fought several wars with scotland adn europe, as people added verses, eventually put to a tune in a pub in Londom one man belted out our anthem as a patriotic barb towards some scots in attendance, it caught on and spread.

It has never actually been recognised as a national anthem but is used as we have none

Thanks! So, de facto national anthem. Why do the scousers boo it?

All that happened in the 70s and 80s. They brought a lot on themselves though. The docks, they went on strike because they refused to handle containers. They said it was about jobs, it wasn't it was justvthe fact you cant rob from containers. But OK hate the tories but what have they to do with a national anthem.
All this scouse not English shite. Also why boo Abide With Me ?

They just want to be permanent victims. They crave it.

That isn't true though, liverpudilians I have known have never felt that way, maybe in the business comunity they have, but normal working class mancs and scousers have never been divided on social issues or distain for tories, only football has divided us, not politics

As much as these cunts think they're hard, they've never been rated as a top firm. Everton's mob are far more highly rated.

I've heard stories. Luckily I've not had any run-ins with them but apparently our nastier fans and Millwall's fans got into some fights last time we played them.

Maybe because they had militant tendancy and got a lot of news coverage, a lot her are forgetting that in the 80s Manchestwr wa just as beligerent, we had mass strikes at McVities, GEC, north west water, several mines, etc.

All of these wre backed by the populace of Manchester, who also stood in solidarity with Liverpool and the miners in Yorkshire and beyond

According to the Liverpool Echo, it’s because it’s not their fault once again.

And this is why we call it the Red Echo.

Liverpool as ever putting forward the victim narrative that for some obscure reason a three times elected Thatcher government was trying to ruin them,it would appear some people are buying into that nonsense.Liverpool was "destroyed" by the outdated unions particularly car workers and Dockers who were frequently striking just for "parity "which in reality meant leapfrogging the other main unions,in their league table(N.U.M. Dockers Steelworkers )all of which were heavily subsidized by the tax payer most of whom were earning much less than them.
Eventually they were bought off, when containerization did away with overmanning and the Dockers raincoat.As for the idea that spreading wealth will create a more equal society ,they got large redundancy payments equivalent at the time of the price of a number of houses. I let others decide whether this generated a great innovative, entrepreneurial area,or whether it simply increased Marsdens and Tetley's share price.
They also got direct investment of millions to try and make them happy ,with The Albert Dock scheme and efforts to make a Garden City,which fell apart when after a number of years the council were asked to contribute with " Degsy Hatton" looking after things.
