Liverpool City Council doesn't generally get much coverage on Kirkby Times, mainly because we are under the reign of Knowsley Council, but as Liverpool's only real pro Working Class website, all readers are welcome to submit news if it cannot be published elsewhere. However, some Liverpool news makes its way here, and the news regarding the daft idea called the 'fourth grace' is one such news item. Will Alsops dodgy mess of a building has, predictably, ended up costing more than it was originally touted as costing, a usual trick and one we could see with the millennium dome con. We must also look at the ranks of middle class parasites that have been sucking up funds just promoting the idea of building which looked like a multicoloured dog turd. Some 2 million of our pounds has been wasted by these pen-pushers and PR reps and stuck up deluded middle class lunatics. Maybe the 'Muddled Class' is a better description. However, before we laugh too much, let's remember that the two million pounds which has vanished needs recovering. Questions need to be asked and people held to account and jailed if necessary. It's about time the Working Class of Liverpool stood up to the lunatics who currently occupy the seats of power in Liverpool, Knowsley and all other Merseyside working class areas.

Below, 'like a multicoloured dog turd'………

Will Alsops Mad World.

Alsop was also busy promising us all that he would build a pier reaching 100 meters out into the River Mersey, he stated in the Echo in June of this year [2004] that "I want people to be able to live on the pier. I would build shops, a church, and even a scout hut. It will be a village on the pier." The man is living in a fantasy land, sounds like he is taking LSD with his cornflakes or something and if you look at his own personal website you will see that muddled confusion and general wackiness positively exudes from it. How this man ever got a certificate qualifying him to build more than a brick wall really does make me worry. If one of the lads in Kirkby College drew this fourth grace up as a plan they'd likely be the laughing stock of the class. To build his monstrosity of a building on the Liverpool Waterfront would be a bit like hiring some scallies with a few spray-cans and a crate of lager to 'improve' the Cistern Chapel.

Postpone the Capital of Culture.

The Liverpool Echo originally backed the fourth grace idea, they would do, and they'll back anything which can remotely be seen as 'positive' to tourism or the business community and the rich. The Liverpool Echo has a history of backing insane doomed to failure middle class ventures and lunatic 'positive' ideas which the rich and powerful and backward architects sometimes promote as a hobby horse. We can see this at present with the idea to have Liverpool and Everton FC share a stadium, no-one working class wants it, but a minority of middle class do, so it's always in the news. Working class residents here don't get much of a say, most of us just want decent homes and community facilities but as usual our wishes come a long way behind the whims of a minority of middle class invaders. As our own elderly are thrown out of nursing homes, Kirkby Times would suggest that the Capital of Culture be postponed until we put our own house in order.
