Somewhat of a slur on Liverpudlians YMB.
Question Author
Not intended to be. It's a pretty widespread saying.
Not sure about the Liverpool part of that...

... but am I surprised that a lawyer took a large amount of money from someone unsavory, so as to represent them? Not really!

I can't quite tell if there was intentional laundering here, or whether it's a bit of a cock up?
Being paid money to represent someone who is not Miss Daisy down the street .

Isn't that what defence barristers do at one time or another , up and down law firms ?

//I can't quite tell if there was intentional laundering here,//

Surely, as we are often told by legals, ignorance is not a defence?

Not sure about 'Liverpool'

Well try this one the Gaurdian printed:

And if you Google it there are others. Liverpool applies here because that is the area where was bought up.

Somewhat of a slur on Liverpudlians YMB.

Is that really possible? ;-))
a slur on the bindippers..never !
Youngmafbog accused me of (quote) "racism" recently when I wondered why we are supposed to care what Cockneys - people born within the sound of Bow Bells - call things. I then suggested that we might equally care about what people born within sight of the Forth Rail Bridge call things or what people born within smelling distance of Brixham fish-market call them. The possibilities are endless…so why just Cockneyisms?
The Cockney area is a tiny bit of one city, but here HE maligns an entire city!

As regards the article itself, I often wonder how it is that he so frequently cannot see the wood for the trees. Here are a few phrases extracted from it…“probe threat…could become…suspected conman…accused of…suspected of…claiming its role…claims he was forced…alleged corruption.” I lost interest at that point.
This is nothing but typical Daily Mail kite-flying in which everything exists in a sort of cloud-cuckoo land, where nothing is firm, nothing is proven and everything is merely a vague mist of suggestion.
It’s conceivable that it will all come to pass, I suppose, but – even if so – that will not make this article anything but wild speculation.
Good post Qm.
In answer to OP, no, not surprised at all.
