Blog for European Capital of Culture, 2008 - BANNED BY LIVERPOOL CITY COUNCIL
Lib Dem councillor Paul Twigger has 'jumped before he was pushed' after being caught using university facilities for the Lib Dem campaign in Knotty Ash.
Twigger has quit his job at Liverpool's John Moores University after being confronted with the evidence by Vice-Chancellor Michael Brown.
But Twigger now faces an internal Town Hall investigation after trying it on a second time - this time by using city council facilities!
Twigger first fired off thousands of letters to voters in Knotty Ash using the JMU postal franking machine - thus saving the Lib Dems a small fortune in stamps.
Unfortunately for him, an eagle-eyed Labour voter in Knotty Ash was amongst the first to receive one of the missives and noticed the JMU postmark on the envelope.
The public-spirited voter immediately alerted Labour Party officials who sent an official complaint to JMU (with a proper stamp, eds)
Twigger was hauled in front of Brown and, under questioning, admitted that he had used the JMU franking machine to send out election literature.
Of course, Twigger insisted that he had sent 'only a few letters' out to voters. (He would say that, wouldn't he? eds)
A chastened Twigger apologised after hurriedly submitting his resignation - before he could be suspended pending a full-scale disciplinary investigation by JMU.
But Twigger did not learn from this - and tried it on a second time. (Nothing if not consistent, eds)
After shoving envelopes through the JMU franking machine, he did exactly the same thing in the Lib Dem office at the Municipal Buildings with a city council franking machine!
Again, one of his Lib Dem letters, complete with city council franked envelope, was handed to Labour officials by a concerned voter.
Now an internal enquiry Town Hall enquiry has begun into Twigger abusing his position and mis-using council taxpayers money for the Lib Dem campaign.
None of which should come as a surprise to any of our loyal readers.
After all, the Lib Dems have spent the last decade mis-using council taxpayers money.
PRIME Minister Gordon Brown has stepped in to spare the blushes of the smiling assassin Hasitall as he fights to save his failing reputation.

If only we could remove his name from the council payroll as easily
It was me that put his name down on the petition...
Actually it was me...
No it was me...
It was me, honestly
Stop mucking about - it was me. I could't stand him playing with his effing blackberry all the time and his eyes rolling about in his head whenever he listened to a councillor speak.
It might have been me. I dunno.
It certainly wasn't me...
Oh yes, it was...
It could have been me...(oops, sorry - thought you were talking about something else...)
His job will be safe with me when I take over in a few months...
I was going to say that...
It was me, I thought it would be funny?
What's the problem with that?
I really do think I am shit at my job.
i signed that petition and my name never appeared on it either
I'm Phil Halsall!
I hope everyone now realises that with Halsall on his way out with a massive pay-off and the vultures circling around McElhinney, Matt Finnegan is very close to finally getting what he has always wanted - the destruction of the evil cabal. Better late than never. Now will the blog disappear?
So the "local" Liverpool newspapers are to be printed in Greater Manchester? Terrible.

This blog shouldn't disappear - not while the LibDims who appointed the 'Evil Cabal' remain in office.
Now that weve all stopped buying the Craven hecho how will we get any news if the blog closes down?
In case anyone is interested, the Cabinet Office's 'official' response to a Freedom of Information Act request about this matter can be found here:

Based on my past dealings with the Cabinet Office, I can't see that they would change their position following a request for internal review somehow...
