1. Good Morning Mr Brace, I had a look at some of these Invoices, some very interesting ones, including the one of an “Immunity Prosecution” or is that still ongoing? If I remember correctly Burgess mentioned something about it

   1. By the time invoice 31 was written, the trial in that case had concluded (in March 2013). So no it is not ongoing.

2. Thanks for that information. Should have been dealt with in 2012

   I see “The Dunny Chain Wearer” is not feeding his fat face this week.

   Mayor’s Diary
   Monday 5 January

   No engagements.

   Tuesday 6 January

   No engagements.

   Wednesday 7 January

   No engagements.

   Does this mean he is directing traffic in The Clown Hall telling which special schools to close, which ones to tell lies and generally be “The Dunny Chain Wearer”.

   I can’t believe he hasn’t exploded before this.

   I don’t know if they think Big, ISUS and Working Neighbourhoods has gone away?

   From: nigel hobro

   3 January 2015

   Dear Department for Communities and Local Government,

   In Autumn 2013 your investigator was sent to Enterprise Solutions
   (NW) Ltd following an investigation by Grant Thornton that reported
   to Wirral Borough Council in March 2013 regarding abuses of the
   Intensive Start Up Scheme ISUS.

   Regardless of the fieldwork being complete by December 2013 the
   report-which is known to me to be written-has not been released

   I request a copy of the report

   Yours faithfully,

   Nigel Hobro

   It hasn’t.

   Did you see the rubbish paper from over “The Football Shirt” and Stella’s river and the local trash paper had to say about small business

   COUNCIL leaders have clashed over who should claim credit for a surge in new businesses starting up in Wirral.

   With Big, ISUS and Working Neighbourhoods you would think they would take up “The Shysters” only advice and keep their ridiculous gobs shut.

   As my dear friend “Highbrow” said

   Nigel Hobro Karl Mercer • 2 hours ago

   I second that Mr Mercer In my accountancy I see multiple limited companies which have been set up merely

   to protect a name

   as a vanity project that never flies

   Unfortunately statistics as I have seen them practised most frequently involve the fiddling of the figures ISUS was an example and the staff cobbled together in late 2011 Gross Value added figures literally case by case with pure invention.

   The council has no significant role except insofar as it has paid off redundant workers who perforce invest their pay-offs on setting up new businesses.Where the WBC has intervened it is with central government money of pitifully small amounts,Between 2004 and 2011 it spent approx £12m on small business creation, of which the lion’s share went to the incompetent and corrupt Enterprise Solutions (NW) ltd.

   Sorry to be negative but I must do so whenever WBC tries to hitch its wagon to an illusion of a successful business creation scenario.

   Amen

   Statistics statistics and “Phil the Dill”.

6. Good for you Mr G and the other fine, valuable and credible people. I really do think that you are a Good Egg along with the others.

   1. Thanks Alan err I mean Stephen

      I hope you are not comparing me to “Humpty Dumpty” that Gra Gra rolled out with “The Football Shirt” to make public fools of at the farce of 8 October.

      Ooroo

      James

      1. Indeed Mr G I am not, I mean what I say, when I say it and you and the others have Flair and Panache and the old “Darwing Do”
         as in Black Adder

         1. Not Forgetting Mr Brace, who has a most interesting way of summing things up, in a quite Precise and Concise way

            1. G’day John and Reprahnehpets

               Am I finally loosing the plot completely?

               Am I going to start thinking maybe “Highbrow” and I am wrong and they all did wonderful work and they are all as honest and truthful as the day is long?

               The reason I ask lads.

               The article I saw yesterday in that rubbish paper over Stella and “The Football Shirts” Mersey waters written by “The Dunny Chain Wearers” favourite little cub reporter in the tweed jacket seems to have disappeared. What do you want me to write boss?

               WHY?????

               I wanted to read it I am need of a good laugh and wanted to read one of my heroes comment, the one from Paul.

               Ooroo

               James

               1. Mr G, No you are not wrong, do not lose anything you or Mr H has said and retained. Also please make sure you retain everything documentary. I also hope and pray that anything that you gave the “Pretend Friend” has been copied and retained or the ” Football Shirt ” or any other Elected or Employee of WMBC.

                  1. Pardon me, ” That goes for all your contributors ” No whatever you have been told Mr G, you are Definately ” Not Mad “

                     1. G’day again John and Reprahnehpets

                        The article is back in the archive at least they are messing with me.

                        So for posterity John I hope you don’t mind I will leave the comments here.

                        The article is just crap so I won’t bother with that John.

                        Why is Liam Murphy dutifully trotting out this empty drivel? It’s a weak and extremely tedious offering, reeking of toady droppings.

                        I can only assume you’re angling for an upcoming obscenely remunerated senior “media” related job at the expensively refurbished Town Hall maybe?

                        What a hell of a boost to your lifestyle that would be…

                        Yes. We’ve got you “taped”.

                        I would like to see a report stating how many businesses are actually trading. Companies House is a place to registrar a new business but doesn’t say its trading or making money. I look around and see more empty shops everyday. Show me a report that says how many are in business, trading and making money.

                        That assertion that it was not WBC money is the opinion of the Regeneration director,Kevin Adderley as expressed on the 8th October 2014 at the audit and risk committee convened specifically to consider the adverse reports of the auditors on the BIG. ISUS and Working Neighbourhoods fiasco 2004-2011

                        Unfortunately the Echo did not attend the meeting though it did attend and report on the abortive July meeting on the same subject that broke up in acrimony without any result.

7. G’day John

   The local rubbish mate of “The Dunny Chain Wearer” writes today

   Council bosses asked to write-off further £192,000 of ‘toxic debt’

   Well my mate if they say they don’t understand simple contracts and it is not our money at the Super Director level it is amazing that they actually collect anything.

   Oh no the computer does that.

   Ooroo

   James

   Ps Sneak their incompetence and inefficiency through bit by bit.

   They are a laughing stock.

   Bring in the Administration.

8. Mr G can you not see how they are doing it yet? I must agree with you it is a load of Dung. “Toxic debt” is a way of writing off everything. I am ” No Accountant” The way into the 27 Million Toxic Debt is to examine the Books. The way into other Toxic Debts is to ” Examine the Books ” In Order to enable the Outside Agencies to do this, is to call in the ” A Team ”
   So I am all Supportive, Second, etc your last Comment

9. Sorry, the way that it has been done amounts to more than 27 Million toxic debt over the same period and then further debts have accrued over a Time Period, as mentioned by yourself.

10. John John John

    Why is “Phil the ‘Deaf to Tapes’ Dill” leader of this Clowncil?

    NEWS
    Retired judge to lead review into how Wirral Council treated highways whistleblowers

    If he can’t decide what is right and what is wrong and act accordingly he should be sacked as “The Dunny Chain Wearers” lackey.

    Bring in the Administration.

    Ooroo

    John

    Ps An expensive way to keep the new BOSS out of it just in case they employ someone decent.

11. Mr G, I would not get to excited just yet. I have just read the Globe article and it would appear that the Council Leader has to sign off on the Terms of Reference for this Review.

    1. That would indicate that this is a Purely Private Law Matter, between two parties, brokered by a Third Party, not an Independent Review or Enquiry into any other matters and certainly not bringing in the Administration. The “Leader” must “Laughing Out Loud”

       1. Here Comes the Judge (Pigmeat Markham song)

          No Reprahnehpets that is not “The Dunny Chain Wearer’s” alto ego.

          Your right and I am not to excited.

          They have got themselves a broken down judge from that broken down ale house called “The Hooligan” or something were they all drink.

          He will get a big lump of your dosh to do what Gra Gra wouldn’t do for them. Bye bye Gra Gra luv ya. X

          This way they all keep their heads (and tapes) and payments are made. Of your dosh by the way.

          “Phil the Dill” “His Ugly Twin Brother” and “The Dunny Chain Wearer” will get away with murder again.

          I bet the report is already written.

          I also bet “He who can talk for twenty minutes without breathing or saying anything” doesn’t even know what the gang are doing or he would stop it. Sucker!

          Ooroo

          James

          1. Mr G, as always, you have put it in plain and simple language as is your want, but at this moment in time, without actually seeing the “Terms of Reference” it still appears as I have indicated. I will say no more at this time on the matter

             1. Reprahnehpets

                Terms of reference are;

                Lets put are heads together with THE GODFATHER (in religious not mafia terms) do a report pay off the people who might or might not have a tape something like our NOKIA/RASPBERRY.

                Yahoo we got out of jail again.

                Hey “Pretend Friend” are you in on this see through plan. You should have got advice from your hero “Highbrow”.

                Ooroo

                James

                Ps Who is who’s Godfather??????

12. I do not think Mr G, that it is worth pursing this, as it will probably irritate you more and there are those others people to consider who are basically on the Bones of their Rectums, from the sounds of it. I am quite sure Mr F and the Judge know what they’re doing and in all fairness (Equity) is No Longer as Long as the Chancellor’s Foot.

    1. Ha, Ha, Hee, Hee!!!!!

       1. As for the ” Pretend Friend ” He has probably had the back ripped out of him, on debrief, nothing like knowing thy Foe, is there or Financial Situation or even “Integrity Level”

13. G’day John

    I hope all is well with you?

    Reprahnehpets I won’t waste much thought on this we all know the £48,000.00 cheques are already signed to get the ugly ugly barstards out of doo doo. Whatever Judge Judy says.

    Ooroo

    James

    Why John are they such bullies?

14. Your a Fine Man Mr G.

15. If I were Mr Davies and the others, I would call in the Police to Investigate a Series of Criminal Offences and fully cooperate with them, it is time now before anything more serious happens besides Premises Falling Down. I have traveled all over the world and never left the Wirral and the Key was always in My Shoe and the Land of Fire and Brimstone, among other places or for starters

16. Rerahnehpets

    “Phil the Pickled Dill” go to the cops your having a laugh.

    You obviously don’t know what is on the “Wirralgate” tape?

    John is all well?

    Ooroo

    James

17. Good Look with your problem ” Corroboration ” is what you have needed for your problem ” Evidence ” You appear to have that. Go to the Police and let them decide whether you have any case against Mr Davies and his Colleagues. I have always been willing and able to present Evidence, both to the Police and am prepared to do so, if ever they require it. I have also offered in the early and later stages to produce Evidence to a number of CEO’s and all I received for that was a systematic and Chain of Abuse.

    1. Ps ” I am not stating anything that has not already been said, they know where I am, if they want me!!!!!!

18. G’day John

    I know you quite liked Gra Gra but a weeks silence is a bit over the top.

    I agree for maybe 5 seconds silence.

    Or, in the true Wirral style of openness, honesty and transparency they have told you to keep your gob shut?

    I think probably if that is the case it would be that sad little buffoon that told you to take one of my posts down, pathetic little porky telling fool.

    Was that before or after he leaked on Colas name(s)?

    More importantly I hope all is well with you and yours.

    Ooroo

    James

19. I can see why Mr Brace would not wish to comment at this stage Mr G.

20. Heavens to Murgatroyd Reprahnehpets

    Here Comes The Judge.

    Where from tax negotiations or somewhere as inappropriate.

    Why don’t they just do the right thing instead of giving jobs to the boys and big pay offs.

    Ooroo

    James

21. Whilst I appreciate your concerns, I think we are agreed on the fact that these matters need clearing up and there are indeed a number of ways to do this. The correct way would be to call in the “Administration” or in the USA, a ” Task Force ” However whether they would find anything now is debatable, between you and me moaning

22. Just because the crimes were committed nearly four years ago doesn’t make them better.

    The crime now is ignoring the crime at all costs.

    It has to be stopped greedy fat pigs getting away with whatever they want.

    Oh that silly man saying he hadn’t heard the tape.

    Ooroo

    James

23. Mr G, you took me a way from my dream there, working with Charlies Angel’s, Father Brown, Father Dowling and Sister Stef, Kojak, Magnum, Mcgarrett (Book him.com Danno) and I would love to be Diana Rigg’s Driver

24. Reprahnehpets

    A “Highbrow” a “Highbrow” my kingdom for a “Highbrow”

    From the local rubbish that “The Dunny Chain Wearer” sponsors.

    hobroW says…

    On internet there mentions Nick Warren as chief of Tribunals section

    “Tax and Chancery”

    Tax would be adjudicating on tax appeals presumably just before the Court
    of Appeals, and the Lords

    High powered but the Colas case does not need any more than a trip to a local court

    For the expense, the sense of open and fair justice seen to be done, is well worth the money

    I am pretty sure a pre-existent connexion exists between Mr Field and Mr Warren that removes impartiality since Mr Field openly has requested a substantial pay-ou tfor the Colas whistleblowers Further the MP’s connexions with Mr G Davies said to be compromised within a tape held by the colas whistleblowers undermines any impartiality

    How can we be owing a debt of gratitude when the departed officers, so far from being besmirched, instead were compensated with figures of £100k apiece,and in Mr Green’s case,CLEARED of wrong-doing.

    Ooroo

    James

25. Pardon me please for joshing. I would have to see the Deal Brokered between the parties to give an answer. Mr Fields would be/maybe acting as a Broker of a Private Law Matter, no offence. I am aware the “Interests Issue” could arise in several parts of this matter for all of the parties.
    However, until Solid/Hard Evidence is produced of any wrongdoing, then it is as it remains a ” Private Law Matter ” In regards to the Tape, if it contains evidence of Criminal offences, this should have gone to the Police and tested through the relevant rules of evidence or the people who hold this tape should have gone to a Solicitor.
    All the parties (Interest Issue). The Judge would be competent to hear any case within his remit and Judicial level of Competence and please bear in mind before you slag him off, that he is also a Barrister in his own Right. In regards to ” Evidence, Politics and the Court System” ;
    The Courts are reluctant to become involved with this type of matter when it concerns Central Government and Local Government as it is Time and Cost Consuming and at the End of the Day, would invariably end up at the Appeal Court or Supreme Court.
    However, I have known the Supreme Court, under its previous name the UK House of Lords to return to a Lower Court (Pinochet Case) 1998. However whether you look at this case, from a Criminal or Civil Case point of view, I could see it costing a lot of time and money and of course, the costs of any such case would come out of the public purse.
    I hope this explains in brief, the possible situation and without quoting Legislation and Case Law.

26. You say

    The Courts are reluctant to become involved with this type of matter when it concerns Central Government and Local Government as it is Time and Cost Consuming and at the End of the Day, would invariably end up at the Appeal Court or Supreme Court.

    So.

    They just get a away with whatever they want.

    They just ignore me and “Highbrow” and tons of evidence.

    My mate “Highbrow” being first and foremost an historian says there will be a revolution and I am starting to see his point.

    All councils around the country seem to be flogging off their own little Wirral Waters to anyone. She doesn’t have to be called Stella but they come out in a cold sweat when they think of her.

    This lot are not clever enough to think of this themselves they are just following.

    It will come back to bite them on the bum bum.

    No Reprahnehpets I didn’t mention “The Dunny Chain Wearer’s” massive and getting bigger maximus gluteus.

    Have a great week.

    Come back John.

    Ooroo

    James

    Missing you.

    1. Mr G, You can bet your Dole queue days, it will begin with a Wong, Wing, who Flung the Dung, by mark on the wall (Met Speaking) Or it will be on their behalf, from someone local to the pardon my french the Ms/Mrs/Mr SHE-ITEE

27. G’day John

    Is it true you’ve emigrated to Reno.

    Ooroo

    James

28. Mr G, you appear to have some issues, may I suggest you read about the life and times of “Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn” or was it Sean Connery ” A little Revolution now and again is good for the Soul”

29. Seems like you are changing the subject of the law being at best a complete ass.

    Run by asses and not fair and equitable.

30. I am extremely sorry that you feel that way, but life can be hard and it may not be a perfect system of Law, but it is in my opinion one of the finest systems in the World and so many Countries base their systems on ours. That is not to say, it cannot be improved, as we do have some of the Finest Legal Minds in the World, as well as “Good people in Parliament”

    1. Mr G, More information has come to my attention in respect of the Story, you and I have been discussing, this matter is unfolding in the press, as others must feel the same as you do and it would appear, that the press may have again been subject to False and Inaccurate information and have not followed up as they should have done. This has all the Hall Marks of a Story sometime ago, in the, as you call it the Stella Wirral Waters Sheet?

    2. I could imagine “The Football Shirt” saying that the England football team is one of the finest in the world and we invented the game.

       As for both topics

       Self-praise is no recommendation.

       Ooroo

       James

       1. Hello Mr G, it was nice of you to mention me on Wirral Leaks
          out of context of course, I appreciate that. I do not give a Monkey’s Foot, who is naive and who is not, the same applies to whomever has been tapping into the Computer, as long as it was the “Pretend Friend” and it was the Forces of the LAW, I do not CARE, in fact, I would appreciate that and so would a lot of others, if it comes to the Statement Taking, etc.

          Thankyou once again for your interest in all matters, especially those already named, it does help and it does fit in with the request below;

31. Unfortunately into every life a little rain must fall. Those who have an interest should make an appointment with the Police or the Administration and start to let it unravel quietly and without hassle to themselves or Families and then the Sun may come out

32. G’day John

    What mischief was The Kitchen Cabinet up to last night the people need to know.

    Have a great weekend.
