Where are they now.

Chris Lloyd has now decided he doesn't feel safe in the Labour Party, so has defected to the Lib Dems. It should come as relief to everyone that by joining the Lib Dems he has made sure he will never get anywhere near the leavers of power. 

But what of the likes of Rob Carney? The last I heard, he had scuttled off to Manchester.

Gow goes west.

It appears that some time ago Alison Gow left Reach PLC. It would be nice to think someone at Reach found out about her ethical and moral failings, but I don't think it is possible to have sufficiently low ethics or morals to be a risk to the reputation of such a repugnant organisation.

I suppose it possible the Gow found that Reach PLC was below her high standards. That is however very very unlikely.

More likely she just found some, likely unethical, way to make more cash. I believe North Wales used to have some of the highest standards of morals in the country. They must however be in steep decline in the Snowdonia area if Gow can avoid being run out of town.

It is another date for Ged Fitzgerald.

It has been a while coming, but it looks like Ged Fitzgerald and the Operation Aloft crew will be having their day in court in September 2024. See Ex-Lancashire Council leader Geoff Driver trial date set for 2025; Three men accused in the same investigation will also stand trial next year.

It not straight forward though, in September 2024 David McElhinney, Phil Halsall, and Ged Fitzgerald, all ex Liverpool City Council staff, will be at Manchester Crown court for various charges. Then 7 months later they be back for another trial, this time with Geoff Driver.

Despite the article I'm quoting being copyright MGN, this hasn't appeared in any paper or broadcast media. It has all been hush, hush. One question is will the 2nd trial prevent reporting on the first? Where does this leave operation Aloft. Sheridan only covers Lancashire County Council, while Aloft is Liverpool City Council?

An epidemic of lack of integrity.

I've dealt with Liverpool Councillor Ron Gould, Joe Anderson and Nick Small and in order they have been rude, abusive and snide. I've dealt with MPs, mainly their staff, Louise Ellman, Jane Kennedy and Kim Johnson. They have been abusive(staff), abusive and condensing(staff). Kennedy and Johnson managed to by rude personally. All, bar Gould, have been Labour.

 

Explicitly with Ron Gould, where he simply said "We've been told all about you" then Jane Kennedy's staff member's initial greeting of "You should see a psychiatrist" before slamming the phone through Joe's "He just bullshits everything",  right through to snide and condescending Cate Murphy who is Kim Johnson's office manager. It has been fairly obvious they have heard some rumours and obviously taken them seriously.
 

If they were serious people then they would have done some investigation, perhaps given me a chance to address some of them. However, this is Liverpool, a city run by scallies. From the most junior member of the council through to the Chief Executive, specifically Ged Fitzgerald, they are endowed with a degree of entitlement, that is also found in most parts of Liverpool's establishment from lawyers like Brabners, Media a like the Echo and Merseyside Police.

 

Liverpool is a city where the great and the good are totally almost of ethics and moral behaviour. This not 100% true, but in almost every case do not come from Liverpool.

This lack of ethics might also explain some of Kim Johnson's in activity. A couple of years ago I put in a complaint to Merseyside Police and when it was rejected after 0 investigation because their GPS tracking system had recoded an officer in that location and no other attempt being taken to identify and officer in the area.

 

So an appeal was put in via the IOPC, an email was received saying wait for Merseyside Police to contact you. A contact that never came, I asked Johnson to chase this up, she got back saying that I had no complaint withe Merseyside police and that she had no power or any say in how the police ran things. She was sent a copy of the IOPC message saying a complaint had been raised by them. She did not reply.

You only have to search for her name and police to find out that she has been quite happy to use her MP status at other times.

 

The IOPC ignore requests to chase up the complaint and Merseyside Police own grossly incompetent FOI/DPA department say that it will not look up the data because the complaint ID number is an IOPC number not their own.
