If I can provide some free advice (which I only normally do for good causes) I would say that stabbing the fireman before xmas makes sense - attention would be a little distracted. however, i believe they will have to act quicker than that because things are going to get worse - and quickly. more stuff will come out which will make both Bradley and Storeyteller even weaker and their position more precarious. which brings me to storyteller, who i gather is one of the current Exec members who this small 'cabal' of lib dims are trying to cosy up to. my strong advice would be: forget it. he is now so tarnished that nothing less than a wholesale clear-out from the top will do. he should have resigned as a councillor that might have given him some honour at least - the more he hangs on the worse it gets for him now. no-one believes a word he says anymore and his cowardice in being unavailable for comment after his cuts caused the Mathew Street disaster, has astonished both the media and his own colleagues. so i wouldn't be doing a deal with him which keeps him in the cabinet and stabs bradley in the back. it would be incredible.<BR/>on the subject of the fat cats - i think its too late. the lib dims are too associated with this corrupt regime now. the mathew st report has just underlined that. the only way that they could do a convincing sackcloth and ashes act would be to cut off the remaining head of the monster - hilton and halsall and harbarrow and mcelhinney as well as bradey and storey - which the lib dims have neither the bottle nor the ability to manage. the best hope for Liverpool therefore lies with Joe Anderson and Co getting in come May and wielding the knife absolutely ruthlessly. and even then it will be a difficult job for joe to send these clowns packing. i think the lib dims are fucked basically. they are incapable of doing what's required to give them a hope in hell of hanging on. what is worse for them is that their reputation is so bad now that it will be years before they come back. a bit like the tories after thatcher and major (indeed there are some uncanny parallels). which makes me a very happy boy indeed...Tony Parrish47https://www.blogger.com/profile/02574531237993867868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8702820157076972567.post-61234024354229300152007-11-18T02:02:00.000+00:002007-11-18T02:02:00.000+00:00Randy may have to modify his charm offensive. At l...Randy may have to modify his charm offensive. At least 3 of the executive members and a regular group of between 5 and 8 high profile lib dims are discussing a plan to oust Bradley painlessly, well not for him, and how they can make a sack cloth and ashes rebirth before the next election without damaging capital of culture. There is strong belief amongst them that if they don't act now then the game will be up in May. <BR/><BR/>The latest theme for the meetings was whether to let him open 2008 or not or to get him out before Xmas while they think the media will be preoccupied with "what tosser has the biggest collection of xmas tat outside their house." <BR/><BR/>New leader for the New Year and bright new start for 2008. One of the hopefuls sees a last chance stab at leadership (although the others have no intention of supporting them) They have even been having a few chats with a sworn enemy about their hopeless Pinocchio protégé and promising them a secure cabinet place. It seems that he is not willing to play. But don't worry, it is not a sudden bout or ethics, just that they have had same offer from another exec member who has more backing. They also need to watch out for a certain ambitious young chap who may be a spy in the ranks or ready to stab the fireman on their behalf, the Jury is out at the moment so he is not being invited to every meeting. They may have a winner of a policy too, one that could catch the publics attention. "A cull of Municipal Fat Cats"<BR/><BR/>All trust and confidence in the Executive management team is gone and they know that some are already briefing Labour members to the same level as them so they aim to send the treacherous clowns packing before the May Elections amidst a high profile tough line on ending outrageous salaries for the elite. The Executive Directors are to be sliced off and replaced with a reduced two tier EMT Chief Executive and two Asst CEOs with a wider brief. The remainder will be AED level. The AEDs will be instructed to then cull the immediate level below them. The rally cry will be "Clearing out the Fat cats to put the customer first and protect the front line services and staff that really matter to the council tax payer" This comes with a sudden attack of conscience about the plight of the care workers. It will also be a start in trying to plug the budget deficit. Not much of one but they hope it will sound good enough to convince the voter. <BR/><BR/>Sadly one, well maybe two, of the only decent members who could potentially provide some honourable leadership is being excluded from the meetings as they are seen to be a bit over friendly with the Executive Directors.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8702820157076972567.post-30982747670959420792007-11-14T23:25:00.000+00:002007-11-14T23:25:00.000+00:00Pleasure.

So called because he had the cheek to try and get Joe Riley the sack for his personal behaviour when his own personal behaviour, it seems, leaves much to be desired and which would almost certainly get hime into some serious trouble with his wife. Allegedly. He is also a liar as some prominent media personalities could testify. See the subculture posts about Riley for all the dirt.
