Also interesting that the envelope in the photo has a Royal Mail sticker saying that a counterfeit stamp had been used.
edit: That is referenced in another article in fact, but it doesn't mention if he was charged with that, I assume not.

Apparently is was proven by matching fingerprints, on file from one of his 15 previous convictions, the nature of which aren't mentioned:

I hadn't spotted the part about the stamps. WTF.

The whole thing defies belief.

Lots of questions to answer from the Labour Party too around how they handled (or apparently didn't) the complaints.

With the amount of apparent "protection" he was getting, my mind kind of obviously falls towards the funny handshake brigade, but with no evidence obviously.

As always, irrespective of political affiliations, some people are just scum, and the sooner they are identified and drummed out the better.

How was he selected with 15 convictions? Mind you Liverpool has been a fiefdom for years for Labour. I'm sure there's plenty more corrupt unpleasant people involved.

I assume it's the "fiefdom" thing.

I'm curious what the convictions (sounds nitpicky but there were 4 convictions for 15 offences) were actually for.

Ms Davies, 46, said she took the evidence of the Twitter abuse to the then-mayor of Liverpool, Joe Anderson.
She said: "I took it to Mayor Anderson over 20 times. I sent him 20 or 30 emails saying 'please help me, look at this, can you look into this?' and it even got to the point where I asked if the council would pay for this to be investigated properly.
"And Joe said no, public funds were not to be used for things like that."
Joe Anderson you say? That name seems familiar:

Oh yes *that* Joe Anderson….

Lovely.

What is it about Labour politics in Liverpool? The corruption and cronyism there appears to be absolutely blatant.

TBH you could say that about politicians in general. The Tories are no angels

Lovely.
Good work to show how deep the rot is at Labour Liverpool.
The mayor sheltering his disgusting mate from justice.

And as mentioned above, Teeside looks similiar. (may be Tory /Labour cronyism - where people have made 100s of millions from land gifted to them).

When greedy fkers get in cahoots I don't care if it's the business elite, a Party, a religion, Freemasons whatever; I hope this latest example of facing justice is not the last.

I can totally understand the Hillsborough / The Sun newspaper outrage, but what is Liverpool's issue with the Tories? Is it a Thatcher era thing?

They aren't seen as looking out for their interests, same reason you don't get Labour in the home counties.

Thanks. I wonder if the current Labour st-show (at both local and national level) will shift the needle at all.
