"Yesterday Liverpool City Councillor [Paul Kenyon] gave this remarkable response to an act of vandalism on a Liverpool landmark and public artwork.

The mural was defaced by trans activists in an attempt to further intimidate-at her home-local artist and housing activist [Nina Edge]. Nina was targeted by TRA's and reportedly sacked from her lecturing job at LJMU for expressing concerns re: self-id (she has now kept her job).

Despite requests, no-one from [Liverpool Council] has contradicted Kenyon's statement of support for this act. Very unusual as any acts of vandalism are quickly condemned by local Cllrs. We can only assume that TRA's have free reign to desecrate the City due to their "positive message"

Kenyon's apparent support of this act of vandalism is in great contrast to his response to a small penis-shaped sticker, stating a biological fact, which was placed at Crosby beach in the summer (aka the "most horrific thing" he'd seen). [Mayor Joe Anderson] was also quick to condemn.

Following the sticker debacle, the city council put through a motion, pushing for mixed sex toilets to be introduced - with no debate, consultation or equality impact assessments - and declaring (caps theirs) "TRANS WOMEN ARE WOMEN."
When challenged [Mayor Joe Anderson] told @ RogersPhoneIn that women's concerns should be listened to, he then went on to bully, abuse & shout at a lone woman speaker from [Liverpool Resisters] in the council chamber" (continues)

This shit has been going on in Liverpool for at least 40 years, just from what I know

oh who cares? The so-called 'war on drugs' is an embarrassing failure, stop criminalising people and ruining their lives because of failed, anachronistic, authoritarian drug laws.

It's a stone wall of misogyny.

I see what you did there...

I'm about as subtle as Danielle Muscato's stubble.

Sponsored by Absolut Vodka.

I was going to make a joke, but I can't be arsed now.

Instead, I'll point to an apology by Liverpool Council and Merseyside Police for a misjudged 'victim blaming' sexual assault prevention tweet and campaign. Misogynistic tossers!

Apparently Pete Price is 'The Lizard'

I don't think cross-dressing has anything to do with it. Trans rights are a trojan horse for misogyny.

And Momentum is corrupt as fuck.

R0wantrees · 31/10/2018 18:02

I'm also gobsmacked by how local media supports these men. It's a stone wall of misogyny.

Pete Price: see previous comment in 'total support of Joe Anderson' seems a very popular and well connected chap in local media (as well as national on occasions)
I'm not sure what 'the lizard' refers to but it seems a 'thing' for him.

Not directly on point but here is another example of the hypocrisy and moral bankruptcy of Momentum. A close ally of Corbyn and Momentum member is continuing to employ her convicted drug dealer son as her assistant in the House of Commons.

Joe has grandaughters and must surely agree that the likes of Ian Huntley IDing as a woman is hurtful.

Yesterday I read that Edward Lord was based at John Moores for a while. I wonder what influence he had/has.

Jennifer James has done an interesting thread on Anderson

twitter.com/msjenniferjames/status/1057639634346209313?s=19

Liverpool's Echo Arena is run by 'ACC Liverpool 05204033'. It's 'parent' company is Liverpool City Council.
ACC has 5 directors, inc. Joe Anderson & cllr Wendy Simon. Accounts reveal one director gets paid £264,000 pa. Which one? Is it you @mayor_anderson? t.co/XIQFCU6amB t.co/SdRA0DrGA

From what I can work out (not an accountant) ACC Ltd. runs at a loss of £0.5m pa. While paying directors (maybe Joe, maybe not) a quarter of a million pounds.
And if the company goes bust? The City, via the Council, is liable for all debts. That's us.
Any comment @mayor_anderson?

Just sent an FOI to get to the bottom of this.
How the hell is Joe Anderson's company able to pay its directors £264,000 A YEAR when there are food banks all over the city and people freezing to death on Liverpool streets? t.co/2rG52WW9VQ

Two previous ACC directors: Phil Halsall and Ged Fitzgerald (both have resigned within the last 12 months) have been charged by police with 'witness intimidation and perverting the cause of justice': t.co/BPx2cWohin

After the arrests Joe Anderson kept Ged Fitzgerald in post for four months and also paid him A YEAR'S SALARY. To the tune of £200,000.
Which in reality was paid by Liverpool tax payers. Joe's mate Ged is an (alleged) crook, bully and fraudster: t.co/OHffHtWLKT
