Lambasting Liverpool
Dawn and I had a fair amount in common … a shared South Welsh/Irish heritage via peri-urban council estates; swearing; and a deep love for Liverpool … Whenever we met up in Liverpool, you could see Dawn revel in its doolally joie de vivre, its Irishness, its Catholicism, and the simple fact that it’s a place where being a socialist doesn’t make you a weirdo.
Maybe that recent endorsement goes some way towards explaining one or two other current news items concerning Liverpool …
Liverpool has been stripped of its coveted world heritage status after Unesco blamed years of development for an “irreversible loss” to the historic value of its Victorian docks. The UN’s heritage body concluded at a meeting in China on Wednesday that the “outstanding universal value” of Liverpool’s waterfront had been destroyed by new buildings. The decision is a humiliating blow for the city and gives Liverpool the ignominious distinction of being only the third place to lose the status in nearly 50 years.
And this:
“Nothing less than a full reset of the Labour Party in Liverpool is needed.” [The report] recommends that Labour nationally takes over candidate selection processes in Liverpool until June 2026, and that it immediately fast-tracks outstanding complaints in the Liverpool City region, completing them within six months. The panel led by former government minister David Hanson says it received evidence identifying a “toxic culture” within the Labour group on the council and “dysfunctional governance running throughout the organisation”. Looking at local party meetings, the internal investigation was “told of a toxic atmosphere in some meetings, not welcoming to members, where often members especially women were targeted for bullying or abuse”. The panel was “presented with evidence of a history of antisemitism that already has led to expulsions and suspensions”
Scouse takeaway: mmm… |
Such a pleasant place! (And we haven’t yet wheeled in David Olusoga to tell us about the slave trade.) Personally, I’m extremely partial to Beatles music which goes a long way to redeeming other shortcomings: but (strange factoid) Liverpool is, I think, the largest city in western Europe where I’ve never done any business. I do have freinds there, though. And scouse is, errrr, a remarkable foodstuff …
Yet I imagine there are C@W readers with more positive things to say about the place … so do please let us know!
“Did you tell me once Father Jack had a trial for Liverpool?” “No, Dougal, he was on trial, in Liverpool …”
