A vile vile man, hope the police do a proper job this time, about time he got his comeuppance.
Hope it encourages certain individuals to come forward.

It doesn’t matter what colour of politics are involved, they are all like pigs around a trough.

I’d bring back public hanging for misappropriation of public funds, and nonces of course.

A lot of locals do comment on how he kept getting elected as nobody locally appears to like him. If Deggsy is involved..well they probably wouldn't be found guilty in LIverpool Crown Court (see S. Gerrard)

I think it would have to be an out of area trial to ensure an impartial jury

Can we include Gov PPE contracts and such in any future investigation please.

One week your getting a slap on the back from a Tory minister and the next you know..........................................

[Boringvolvodriver]

Bribery and planning applications has been allegedly going on for quite a while - the occasional back hander here and there or attendance at various corporate events and other “gifts”

Witness intimidation now that is another thing - wonder who they are alleged to have intimidated and in what context? Maybe witnesses or those giving evidence to planning meetings?

look up Elliott group and a Mr Lawless, very interesting.

Scousers in the car with no music playing- who's driving?





The police.

Three Liverpool councillors that I won’t name on here, several staff, some loose lips from staff at London based property investment company, oh and best not forget the 72yr old mans son either...........he’s very interesting indeed.
