THE NORTH WEST ENQUIRER - THE CURSE OF HENSHAW STRIKES AGAIN...

TWENTY journalists have been made redundant today after the closure of the Henshaw house journal, The North West Enquirer.
None of the journo's will get a penny in redundancy money from Henshaw.
The Dark Knight put a five figure sum (£10 grand? ed) into the new weekly six months ago in the hope that it would buy him a little voice in the media.
(Most serious journalists had got wise to his blackmail, bullying and threats after his adventures in Liverpool and tended to treat his usual bullshit with open contempt, ed).
But the Enquirer failed to take off as Henshaw hoped and poor sales and lack of advertising revenue made it a sure fire failure.
How much Henshaw will lose no-one yet knows. (But we hope it is lots of the dosh he stole from council taxpayers in Liverpool, ed).
More importantly it will be yet another blow to his enormous ego.
After his failures in Liverpool and Capital of Culture, he can now add the Enquirer.
Whither Wicked FM, we wonder?
Meanwhile commiserations to the journalists at the Enquirer - we take no pleasure in its inevitable demise.
It was a weekly newspaper based on a fallacy - that people in Anfield would have the same interests as those in Ardwick.
But some of the journalists were at least trying to write serious, informed stuff - in stark contrast to the disastrous Liverpool Echo.
Henshaw certainly won't be weeping any tears about what will happen to the Enquirer journalists and their families now.
Overall it has been a shocking indictment of the management of the Enquirer (Nick Jaspan, Bob Waterhouse, Henshaw et al.)
It was ill-considered, poorly researched, had wretched deadlines, crap distribution, no marketing, no news sense, and Henshaw toadying columnists (Lew Baxter and Jim Hancock, ed).
