The Liverpool Times

The impact of David Henshaw on Merseyside is considerable, even if you don’t count yourself as a fan.

Before he took charge of Liverpool he had ruled the roost in nearby Knowsley Council, where life suddenly became easy in this one party fiefdom.

The trail blazing Kirkby Times was the first printed news site to highlight the dubious activities in this council between 1995 – to date; activities that in any other council would certainly have attracted severe sanctions from the government, audit commission, and probably the law enforcement agencies as well.

These included, positions and cash given for votes on land deals, the whip applied on planning applications, non declaration of interests on land deals, Councillors with convictions for burglary and violence holding down senior and sensitive positions. Single Regeneration Poverty Funds ( £35 million pounds ) doled out like confetti to Cllr Keight’s cohorts, this list is not exhaustive, and is only a taste of what went on.

New labour, you will know them by the trail of the dead.
Another UK soldiers has been shot in Basra, and died from his injuries. (29 April) This makes April the highest monthly death toll for UK forces since the war began. It is a month in which the warm spring will be remembered by some Liverpool families, as a season of death, not of birth and renewal.

So far this month, two Liverpool soldiers have been killed, and the prospect of more to come is something that sends a chill through the heart of anyone whose son or daughter is out there.

The reopening of the St Georges Hall after a £23 Million pound restoration is a triumph for the City of Liverpool.

This magnificent structure is a sight to behold.

However thing weren’t always like this.

It has now been reported that the Kirkby man seriously injured in a delivery vehicle theft, has sadly passed away in hospital. The sad event took place as his family kept vigil by his side yesterday afternoon. This turns a simple act of theft into an act of murder.

Henry McHarron was taken to hospital with serious head injuries after being thrown from the back of his paper delivery van early on Saturday morning at 6.02 am. (21 April) As he was apparently unloading the day’s papers from the back to deliver to the newsagents/post office, the thieves took off. Mr McHarron then fell to the road and sustained serious head injuries.

Liverpool Detectives are still searching for the stolen van which is a white Ford Iveco registration MX05 OKO.

Visited by Mark Twain !

Amidst the widespread talk of Everton’s proposed move to Kirkby, the lads in the “Spoons “ chewed over the burning issues. They were joined by an American visitor.

How can Everton afford a ground move bereft of any financial investment?

How can Knowsley Council simply “gift” £50 million pounds worth of publicly owned land over to Tesco to build a new football stadium ?

Would this be allowed to happen anywhere else or is Kirkby anyone’s to give-away?

After 5 yrs online, the Kirkby Times still has new readers everyday who keep reading till they see us banned in the 2005 and reappear in 2006, here, as if by magic.

From Huyton, Victor Meldrew make’s some observation on land deals….

Hi, just saw the site for the first time,[by accident]. I was trawling through Knowsley council property and land to let, and noticed they have loads of offices to let in the Kirkby municipal buildings.

I was calling them all the cheeky bas***** under the sun when I came across your site. I just had to write.

A massacre of innocents, ongoing.

God only knows how the students and teachers feel right now. Your world must fall apart when blood is spilt on the floors of an educational institution. You wonder what the world will come to when evil or sick damaged minds summon up the courage of their misguided beliefs and students, lecturers and professors are killed in an act of senseless violence.

The university is one of the oldest founded universities in the country, established in 1233. This place makes Liverpool University seem like a mere kindergarten.

Over 25,000 students can be accommodated in the sprawling grounds with some 10,000 more being able to use various annexes and other teaching departments including humanitarian and technical sciences.

There is a petition on the Downing Street web site asking the Prime Minister to sack Henshaw as Chair of the NW Strategic Health Authority.

It would be good if you could sign it!

We’ll probably all vote in future this way one day, which would make referendums easy.

News has emerged that four out of the six electoral wards in Kirkby will see new labour candidates elected unopposed.

In the two wards being contested – Shevington Tower Hill and Whitefield Westvale – new labour face a weak challenge from fringe candidates with no hope of success.

Initial investigations have revealed this switch off by the electorate in Kirkby is without precedence since the Town was given its own Council way back in 1958.

As we near a decade of a new labour government, two recent revelations mirror the society they have created.

By their own figures, 21% or 2.5 million pensioners are living in poverty.

Eulogy for the man who tried to sue The Kirkby Times

Multimillionaire Mark Langford was the head of personal injury insurance firm The Accident Group. A while back, he took out legal action against The Kirkby Times, using his money to silence us.

Mr Langford was killed in a road ‘accident’ in the Spanish resort of Marbella, a good hang out for the average gangster, especially the ones who think they are ‘legit’ because they are so clever, robbing us within the law. Given the murky world Mr Langford was involved in, maybe the ‘accident’ was not all it seemed.

Justice for the 96 - Justice for all

“When all beside a vigil keep,
The West’s asleep, the West’s asleep”

A couple of days ago, a man we’ll call ‘John’ was walking along a road somewhere in Liverpool. The weather had just changed with the sun ‘cracking the flags’. I’m not sure whether that old saying refers to the pavement flagstones or the flag on the flagpole.

As John turned a corner, he saw a couple of young lads, maybe aged 3 – 5 yrs of age. He looked over and smiled as you do. Elderly people and the very young, you might keep an eye on.

As John passed by - one of the little lads told him to ‘fu** off’. The little kid was smiling mischievously as he spoke out.

John shouted over to him, in a calm voice “You can’t say words like that that, it’s naughty!”

He replied “I like saying naughty words”.

What’s this got to do with Hillsborough? – We might ask.

For now it has nothing to do with it, because you’ve only heard a brief summery of the opening part of our story.

Campaign to demonise Iran hits full throttle

The Scum (Sun) newspaper is always keen for the working class here to shed blood to help out the rich. The Sun is cheer-leading for the decimation of Islamic nations as part of its rolling campaign of racism and bigotry. This is how British wars are whipped up - via the gobs of Southern journalistic lowlife.

The Sun newspapers demented faked nationalism has never been seen so clearly as in the case of the capture of the 15 British marines and sailors. We can only cringe at the woeful way in which the UK national media can spin doctor embarrassing incidents into some sort of victory parade.

This is classic Orwellian stuff but not all the English are at the stage of believing the lying media barons and their hired pens, sniping from the safety of some air conditioned office.

In fact, you could put a razor blade between the Sun and the Daily Mirror on this issue, as both ran stories which claimed ‘aggressive Iranian soldiers’ captured the unfortunate captives.

In a an attempt to exploit a dodgy claim that Bill Shakespeare was in the Chenulvesley ( aka Knowsley), local burghers want £22 million pounds from the Lottery to celebrate his visit.

Its possible some new labourites may remember the occasion ! Just like Tory Blair claims he remembers the glory days of wor Jackie Milburn at Newcastle FC, despite being born after he retired ! Slight exaggerations, that mean nothing in the bizarre unreal world of new labour spin !

The new labour government has announced the appointment of Sir Michael Lyons as the £150,000 pounds a year Chairman of the BBC.

Observers of the Kirkby Times will be aware that Lyons was also appointed by this Government to sort out the public splat between Liverpool Councils Chief Executive, the then plain David Henshaw, and Councillor Mike Storey.

Of course why this Council had such high level government intervention is too complex to go into here, suffice to say all three were, and still are, key players in the new labour revolution.

Oil in Persia and Islamic resistance to the banking cartels.

The British Petroleum website openly boasts that BP were founded by a British oil digger and explorer George Reynolds.

George struck lucky in Persia, now Iran on the 26 May 1908. As BP cheerfully informs us….

“At four o’clock the drill reached 1,180 feet and a fountain of oil spewed out into the dawn sky.”
