Liverpool - the city that dared to fight

the city that gained the most out of slavery than any other city on the planet

Relevant how? Or were Militant running the council in the late 1700s too?

it's a bit rich to bang on about socialist tendencies when the municipal buildings in the city were financed by private families who made fortunes out of slavery and selling sugar

Slavery was abolished in 1807. In what way does it impact what was happening in the city in the 1980s?

Those 'private families' probably applauded Thatcher and Kinnock's stance btw.

slavery was abolished but the spoils remained

And were distributed to the masses no doubt.

well building grand municipal building for the community to use to me seems like a benefit that was enjoyed by all on the backs of others

Its all well ad good fighting for something you dont have, different story when you have something

That's it then. People in the 1980s had no right to complain on account of some building built 200 years earlier.

Im saying that they are very selective in the facts

Im all for nationalism, but equality is a doubled edged sword

Hatton a man of principle. What does he do these days?

Hatton, the millionaire, was living in Greece the last I heard

The trouble with socialists is that they have fcuk all, and they want to share with everybody.

degsy great guy..your pay packet delivered by taxi...wore more designer gear than
a soccer casual.

It'd be a better place if they'd dared to stop!

(Just going by the thread title, I have no idea what it's about).

I dont think I have ever met a scouser that wasn't an intolerable bore.   That's all.
