Firstly because I do not want this to be seen as a personal attack on the Mayor of Liverpool I want to make two things clear at the outset:
1. I am delighted that on his return from holiday the Mayor has seen fit to see both sides in the current industrial dispute and to try and get them to see reason. That is what the council should have been doing when for two weeks it adopted the attitude, “It’s nothing to do with us Guv” because it was a dispute between one of our contractors and their staff.
