2 things:

1) I didn't see it on the Telegraph, I saw it on Twitter (I also remember the original story from 2011). Far too busy to be reading the Telegraph during working hours. I also never said it appalled me.

2) I have no qualms whatever with criticism against Johnson - I find him to be a bit of an oaf in all honesty.

Hope that helps!

So you knew it was an incident from 2011 but didn't put any reference to that date in your post. Instead you put,

"That problem when you replace the incompetent lady with a nasty one:"

So you couldn't wait to tell us about Lynn Brown being the 'nasty one' from an incident in 2011. It never appalled you but you couldn't wait to call her the 'nasty one'.

Johnson is just 'an oaf'. Incredible. Not nasty then? What about what he said to a taxi driver, or about how vindictive he is, with his constant sniping against Liverpool and the people of the city. I think Johnson is a buffoon and a nasty piece of work. More than just an oaf.
 
I said sack her. I didn't say sack her then make up a cover story about her health and suggest she'll be back after the election and its pressures are over. I don't believe the story for a minute I'm afraid.

I think she probably is ill, but it's a convenient reason to sideline her.

However, "downright disgraceful" is a bit much considering you were calling for her head a few days earlier.

Jesus christ lol I'm not completely sure if you're baiting me to try and get a bite, or if you're actually being serious. Honestly, tribalism isn't exactly the worst thing in the world, but you're certainly displaying the more unsavoury side effects of it.

I think what she did was nasty, and I think Johnson is an oaf (and quite nasty too, I bet).

If that displeases you, I am sorry.

Just replace her. Don't bluff. It's not funny to bluff about people's health.

Anyway, I know very little about the girl who has been appointed, but they can't be any worse.
 
Now that may be unfair, and I am not making a point about the rights and wrongs of what happened decades ago, but some of a different vintage recall those days with slightly less rose tinted specs than perhaps those who were not actually there.


Let's forget the 'managed decline' of Liverpool, declared by Howe and supported by Thatcher.

Let's forget the 3 million unemployed and 15% interest rate under Thatcher.

Let's forget ALL the crap that we suffered under the Tories in the 1980s and into the '90s.

You sound just like a Tory apologist...
 
but with a large majority, the EU can say "you have the means to make it so".

with a small majority, and even more so, with a hung parliament, they can't.

Rubbish. Whatever the majority, the EU will still have to negotiate on the same basis (i.e. they will try to get the best deal for THEM, or try to screw us over completely).
