Joy it is to find that the loathsome Derek Hatton,72, has been charged with conspiracy to defraud along with mayor Joe Anderson. I think there's a proverb that says if you sit on the riverbank long enough you'll see your enemies floating by.

I have been unfortunate enough to have met Hatton on two occasions, the second of which I walked away from and told my employers at the time that we shouldn't be talking to this man. Credit where credit is due, Allen is right, Hatton is well thought of in parts of Liverpool, but he's well thought of because he's managed to fool the hard of thinking, like Allen, that...

I think you need to explain your obvious antagonism towards Derek Hatton, pal.

Well thought of in many parts of Liverpool.
I think that's a quote of Sun Tzu, if I´m not mistaken.
Robert Jenrick, Conservative Sec of state for housing ,under pressure to resign after Granting Planning Permission for a £1 billion development two weeks after developer donated £ 12,000 to the Con Party.
He kept his job though part of the Con cronie party,
couple a scallys!

If he's well thought of in Liverpool then Lefty Liverpudlians are morons. He bankrupted the city and played a huge part in destroying Kinnock's chances of defeating the Tories. Thatcher was re-elected partly because of corrupt *** like him.

I used to be a journalist and Hatton told me he'd only been in 'it' for the money. Off the record, of course. He was what Lenin called 'useful idiots' and that amused him. I have the tape recording, which I have never used. When he dies in prison, which I hope he does, idiots on the Left, whose ridiculous posturing gave us a second Thatcher term, might get it.

AllenLondon: I'm not your pal. I presume you're one of the thousands of Liverpudlians who don't live anywhere near Liverpool. Can't imagine why.
Local councillors taking back handers, who would have thought!

I presume people know that, having been bunged out of any influence in Liverpool politics, he formed his own PR company that went into bat for all manner of private companies and played a large part in telling porkies on their behalf - for very large cheques of course.
Paigntonian, the likes of allen are deaf to anything negative about the like of Hatton.


He will be along shortly to accuse you of throwing your owns feaces or rattling the bars, or something.

Point taken Roy. People like Hatton gave us the very thing they affected to despise. More Thatcher. Militant was cancer on the Labour Party.
Question Author
Don't like Kinnock but without his standing up to Militant and their supporters (Heffer, Benn etc) the Tories under Major would have won another term.

Credit where credit is due, Allen is right, Hatton is well thought of in parts of Liverpool, but he's well thought of because he's managed to fool the hard of thinking, like Allen, that he's a man of the people and wants what's best for the people of Liverpool.

In fact, the truth is, he couldn't care less about the people of Liverpool - if my experience is anything to go by, ALL he's interested in is lining his own pocket.

I wouldn't say I've got any inside information...but watch this space with Jo Anderson. Just sayin'!
It couldn't happen to a more worthy bloke.
Question Author
DeskDiary: please God let them go to prison.
Did anybody else find Allen's use of the word "pal" aggressive?

It came across to me that you criticise Hatton at your peril and you'll have me to answer to.
^ Yes.
Arrested and charged with a crime are two completely different things.

Hatton and Anderson have been arrested.
If the police find any proof, they will be charged.
