That's the point tobes. Britain was making all this money but wasn't investing in Liverpool. Can argue whether that's right or wrong.
But dixie was talking about the regeneration and putting it at Maggie's feet. I'm just pointing out that the strongest regeneration came from EU funding. Where I'm from (the north end, close to Goodison) you couldn't move for things like fixed up roads and street lighting with little banners on proclaiming how the Objective 1 funding paid for it. We went from managed decline to actual regeneration. Others might object about how their contributions were being spent and they're welcome to do so. But that's the main reason for so much of the regeneration of the city in my lifetime. |

And well done to the politicians and enablers who brought it a bout, well done.
Today the Progressives and their Useful Idiot supporters are pretending that their insane "Open Borders" and "Indefinite Leave to Remain" policies have had nothing to do with psychopaths attempting to behead citizens on the streets of Belfast. Last week they were trying to pretend that DEI/Anti-White Racism Training had nothing to do with the murder of Henry Nowak and the abject police handling of it. My God these sick charlatans have got some blood on their hands. Rivers of it. |

No inquiry needed to find out why people just rioted in NI. There's a video clip of a Sudanese immigrant trying to saw someone's head off, sitting on him after gouging his eyes out.

'It's all the algorithm and Russian bots' is the big leftie cope of our time.
It's not even a new one, just an update on the old Marxist 'false consciousness'. Yeah, you might even want to check my OP on my Russia thread from yesterday. Some of us have been way ahead on this for years. |

arf! Just giving facts. Please do tell me how managed decline and killing the docks was so good for the city, while the clearly findable evidence of Objective 1 funding and what it did was a nothingburger. Sorry for any feelings bruised. Don't flatter yourself PoP, your lame sarcasm rarely hits the spot. Try actually having a decent exchange with people, rather than sneering at them in your usual pompous manner. #fact.hospitalbombernotgangrelated |

Replies: 2516310 Jun 26 20:47 Going back some 45 years for a bit of whataboutery. Saying the govt took a bit of notice. Ha! The riots were followed by the Chancellor calling for managed decline of the city and the strangling of the docks over the following decade. Liverpool's population declined by about 15% over Thatcher's reign. Heseltine was the outsider who fought against his own government after he saw the conditions here. Hardly "especially". And the reason for the riots, the police brutality of black people, were apparently fixed by the Garden Festival now utter sh1te from porcypie the chancellor calling for managed decline? id like to see the evidence for that the harbour board and the unions were utterly incompetent and unwilling to change in the face of huge competition from asia in particular who undercut them at every turn and they simply would not change anything. working practices were a joke and many dockers would cover for each other when they wanted a sneaky day off and management were too scared of a strike to do anything about it. they were equally culpable for the unmanaged decline although we did get some very trendy bang&olufsen stereos from a leaky container. in fact, the whole estate did. so there were some benefits lpools population had been declining (im one of the departed) for a while but its all about fatcher for you, never about the virus of socialism that infected the city and brought it top its knees. wanchors like you sit it out because youve been on the state payroll for life and make no concessions or suffer any hardship because you are feather-bedded against reality lpool wasnt a red city for a long time and didnt elect a labour mp until 1923, 20 years after labour heartlands in the north and scotland. it was working class and tory, an oxymoron to a moron |

Obviously i was referring to Pop BF
 From memory i could swear the Albert Dock had huge regeneration in the 80s along with the opening of Tate Liverpool at the end of the decade. Doubt the EU paid for that as they didn't exist then |

bodged both
spent zillions for little benefit to the 'community' albeert dock is a relic. they didnt consider getting there. you have to cross a 5 lane highway and its really quite dull. like all state planning they just dont get it i walked in and out of the tate within 10 seconds when i was confronted with a mural 'liverpools shame' about the slave trade. fro |

the chancellor calling for managed decline? id like to see the evidence for that https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-merseyside-16355281 Used the beeb, but there are literally dozens of sources quoting this. The rest of it's just the usual cr@p and boring name-calling after a drink that you get from mitolo sadly, but amusing to see someone from Liverpool manage to not keep up with the news and still consider himself informed. |

Margaret Thatcher was urged to abandon Liverpool to "managed decline" by her chancellor, newly-released National Archives files have revealed. /\
