PITY help the people of Wirral if this should ever come to pass: remember the days of Gordon Hatton being in charge of Liverpool purse strings when he just about bankrupted the city?

Well, is it much different today?

I don't think so.

Wirral already suffers because we are always out-voted as is proven year on year when the tunnel fees increase to pay for more financial waste in Liverpool.

Wirral is geographically part of Cheshire and should be returned to its roots, then the people who live there will be better looked after than they are now.
