Liverpool

[Paigntonian]

Joy it is to find that the loathsome Derek Hatton,72, has been charged with conspiracy to defraud along with mayor Joe Anderson. I think there's a proverb that says if you sit on the riverbank long enough you'll see your enemies floating by.

How come Jenrick can do the same and get away with it. ? Wrong party , obviously .

You think they're guilty then, gulliver?

I am a Liverpudlian, born in Kirkdale, later lived in Everton and then Anfield, and left to live on the Wirral in 1987.
I lived through the Militant years, and saw how they bribed the people especially with unfair housing policies for starters.
I'm not surprised.
The swamp needs draining.
''Pal?'' That is not appropriate from a nice guy who should know better.

Gulliver and Allen - what do you think/how do feel about about Hatton?

//I think there's a proverb that says if you sit on the (Mersey) riverbank long enough you'll see your enemies floating by.//

The problem is that the Mersey runs past the city, the reason being that if it didn't, it would be mugged by the likes of Hatton and Anderson - which it probably already has been.
