JUNE 27, 2007 - IT'S THE END OF AN ERROR AS THE GRATE MAN FINALLY STEPS DOWN

ONCE he strode the world like a collossus, carrying all before him.

Crowds lined the streets, open mouthed as his chauffeur-driven Jaguar sped by.

He rubbed shoulders with the great and the good, courted the glitteratti and enjoyed luxury holidays in the sun.

Some critiscised his love of the high life, his ego and his fondness for a quick and easy headline.

Even the press seemed in thrall to him.

But today, dear readers, we have witnessed the end of an error.

Sir David Henshaw has finally departed Liverpool, leaving his house at 9 Barkhill Road, Aigburth like a thief in the night.

All that is left to remind us of his evil reign of terror is an empty safe left in the attic and a huge pile of unused rubber heels found beneath the floorboards.

Sir Diddy's huge cheese plant - appropriately presented to him by an obsequious former colleague - lies forlorn and forgotten in the corner of an empty downstairs room.

His new oak and granite kitchen, paid for with his £16,000-a year expense account, is deserted. No sign of any humble pie here - of course, the beans had been spilt a long time before.

His favourite desk plaque, which he had brought from his office in the Municipal Buildings when he had been forced out, has been left discarded on the bare floor. "Sack someone today" it proclaims, underlining Sir Diddy's crude and humourless management style.

On the floor behind the letter box lies only a pile of discarded junk mail - offering homes abroad, offshore bank accounts and tax evasion strategies.

The only clue to Sir Diddy's fate is a £12,000-a-year council computer screen still left switched on. Frozen forever, for all to see, is an image of Kirk Douglas with arm raised aloft in triumph.

Neighbours were today mystified by Sir Diddy's sudden disappearance.

"We don't know where the little bastard has gone," said one neighbour, "we heard some strange sounds - like a huge pile of coins being counted - in the middle of the night and in the morning, the house was empty.

"We never liked him - he was a sanctimonious, evil little shit with a massive ego."

But official sources in the city say Henshaw has finally departed Liverpool for pastures new in mid-Wales and his luxury apartment in Manchester city centre.

"His name will be forever mud in Liverpool, "said one member of the great and the good. "No one has a good word to say about him any more - everyone knows that he was bad news for Liverpool. The evil cabal blog did him in, good style - and deservedly so."

A few miles away in a safe house, surrounded by laughing and excited friends and relatives, Tony Parrish sipped his champagne. And smiled contentedly.

THE LITTLE WELSHER IS ON THE MOVE AGAIN...

THE law-breaking and disgraced chief executive, Sir David Henshaw is on the move again.

Readers will recall how Sir Diddy has put his house in Barkhill Road, Aigburth up for sale, (on the quiet, ed) and has already parted with some of his blackmailed cash to buy a luxury penthouse in Manchester.

Now we hear he has bought yet another isolated holiday home in Wales, where he can hide away and try to avoid bumping into anyone from Liverpool .

We think his new far from humble abode is in Cardigan (actually, we have forgotten exactly where it was, ed) - but whether he plans to keep his former holiday home in Harlech, we have not yet discovered.

Anyway, exactly where council taxpayers money has been squandered is one thing. Another thing is crystal clear - the dread knight is turning out to be a proper little welsher, isnt he?

And there is more.

Sir Diddy has apparently been complaining bitterly to that August journal, the Liverpool Echo that they have printed details both about his holiday home in Harlech and his recent efforts at entrepreneurship - using the £340,000 he blackmailed from Liverpool to create the David Henshaw Partnership (it's still only him and his missus, btw, ed).

He rang the Echo up to rant and rave about his privacy being invaded, complain that he was being victimised (cheeky bastard, ed) and singling out that legendary Liverpool solicitor of this parish, Prof Rex Makin, for particular complaint (keep it up, Rex! ed)

Sir Diddy also repeated several times during his rant that he was "not bothered about the blog, not bothered about the blog, not bothered about the blog" - repetition is a verbal tic of his which always means that he is lying.

(Repeating the same phrase is a familiar habit of people who are trying to persuade themselves that what they are saying is true, comments a resident psycho-analyst).

Another well-informed local journalist who has observed Sir Diddy's lonely lounging about down Aigburth way has opined: "he's obviously not a happy man."

News of which makes us very happy, indeed.

GUESS THE MAIN REASON WHY PEOPLE IN THE NORTH WEST HAVE POOR HEALTH?

SIR David Henshaw is the 'star' of a rather amateurish new video put out by the North West Regional Health Authority.
You can view Sir Diddy's excruciating film debut here Henshaw the hypocrite
It is remarkable however, that Sir Diddy's four-minute exhortation to the people of the North West to lead healthier lives fails to draw attention to the biggest single cause of their ill-health.
Which is.....POVERTY.
Understandably, the greedy little man who personally stole £360,000 from the people of Liverpool, did not dare to point this out.
That would be too embarassing, even for him.
Talking about other people's lack of wealth, which is in such stark contrast to the huge personal fortune which he has amassed from the public purse, would of course, only lay him open to the charge of hypocrisy.
Of which he is guilty (by the bucketload, ed)
So the fuzz free Sir Diddy, (who, incidentally, is clinically obese - not a very good health example to give the public, ed) prefers to stay silent in the video on the causes of ill-health amongst the population.
Instead he repeatedly fluffs his lines, (he seems to still be suffering from those worrying mouth ulcers which distinguished his garbled utterances at Liverpool) and trots out the usual meaningless platitudes which he also developed at Liverpool.
"Our aim is to be a world leading council " (substitute regional health authority/Child Support Agency/local radio station/next job his mates give him), etc, etc.
Henshaw has also done more to personally threaten people's health throughout his career of bullying, intimidation and victimisation.
What anyone unfortunate enough to watch this nastly little video (cost? ed) must remember is this: Henshaw does not give a toss about other people, or their health.
His only concern is his own personal position (and always has been, ed)
Henshaw the hypocrite will mouth the new Labour buzz phrases to ingratiate himself with ministers and their sycophantic flunkeys in the Department of Health.
But he doesn't believe a word of it.
He only believes in himself.
And how much money he can screw out of people and public services.
You have been warned...

HENSHAW BUYS LUXURY PENTHOUSE IN MANCHESTER WITH HIS BLACKMAIL MONEY

Resident said...
Thought you would like to know that Henshaw has virtually ceased living at Barkhill Road in Aigburth, which is uo for sale, although there is no sign up. Henshaw is also now spending much of his time at a luxury penthouse apartment in Manchester, which is where Mrs Henshaw also works. So they seem to be moving cities. Watch out Mancs!

INQUIRY AFTER HENSHAW POCKETS £360,000...BUT NOT IN ENGLAND

Watchdog begins inquiry into council chief's £130,000 pay-off

SCOTLAND'S public spending watchdog has confirmed it has launched an investigation into the controversial redundancy and pension payment deal given to a senior council official. (not Henshaw, ed)
Audit Scotland is to study details of the £130,000 payment made to John Lindsay, the departing chief executive of East Lothian Council, on top of a £200,000 pension package.
The payments, which were agreed by the Labour-controlled council, prompted complaints to the Accounts Commission - the statutory body that oversees local government - because Mr Lindsay himself recommended the redundancy plan to the authority. (just like Sir Diddy, ed)
Until now, Audit Scotland, which examines councils' finances on behalf of the commission, had not made clear how seriously it would take complaints about East Lothian.
But Caroline Gardner, the deputy auditor general and controller of audit, has now said there was no doubt it had the powers to investigate, even if there had been no complaint. (funny that our District Auditor thought the Henshaw deal was all fine. But then he is a mate of Hasitall's, ed)
She said: "To clarify, the Accounts Commission and Audit Scotland are able to look at any matters which may seem relevant to the audit.
"There is no need to wait for a complaint to be received, and we are currently investigating the situation at East Lothian Council."
A spokeswoman for Audit Scotland said that investigations would be part of the annual audit of the local authority and the watchdog would also look at whether the deal provided good value for council tax payers' money.
However, the results of the investigation will not emerge until well after next week's local government elections, when most of the councillors responsible will have stood down, many with pay-offs funded by council tax payer.

Sir David Henshaw

THANKS TONY! THIS IS A POSITIVE LEGACY....

WE WUZ WRONG!
The Prime Minister IS being asked to sack Sir David Henshaw as Chair of the North West Regional Health Authority.
And here is the proof....

From : 10 Downing Street
Sent : 11 April 2007 15:14:46
To : liverpoolevilcabal@hotmail.com
Subject : Your petition to the Prime Minister has been approved

Your petition has been approved by the Number 10 web team, and is now available on the Number 10 website at the following address:

http://petitions.pm.gov.uk/Henshaw/

Your petition reads:

We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to remove Sir David Henshaw as Chair of the North West Strategic Regional Health Authority

Thanks for submitting your petition.

-- the ePetitions team----

Thank YOU, Tony, (pictured above, with halo and describing what he would like to do with Henshaw's balls, ed)
So our last post got it wrong (alright, that's enough humble pie, ed) - there now exists a very public Number 10 petition calling for Henshaw to be sacked.
And you have the next six months to sign it! Click on this link PETITION TO GET RID OF HENSHAW
We are under no illusions about what will happen when the petition closes in October.
Prime Minister Brown/Miliband's cards have already been well and truly marked about Sir Diddy thanks to some excellent briefing by Labour MPs,.
However, he will nevertheless publically say he can't interfere and Henshaw's appointment was made by some mysterious non-political cabal of the great and the good.
The new PM might even splutter that Sir Diddy is an upstanding public servant - we have come to expect that sort of ill-informed and misplaced judgement from politicians who should know better (Work and Pensions Secretary John Hutton, MP, for example, ed)
And greedy Sir Diddy will continue to live richly off the public money he has stolen.

So if nothing will happen to greedy Sir Diddy, why have we posted this petition on the Number 10 web site?
To expose Henshaw to as big an audience as possible.
To make him squirm with humiliation, irritation and embarrassment.
And to ensure that he now knows he cannot get away with treating people the way he did in Liverpool, without personal repercussions on his own head (which will continue, ed)
It is this public exposure to his peers which hurts Henshaw most.
It doesn't matter whether just one person or one hundred sign the petition (but we would like as many people as possible to do so, ed).
The very fact that the petition exists on the Downing Street web site is enough to damage Henshaw.
Enough to make him think twice in future.
Enough to strike a blow for truth, justice and democracy.
And enough to bring another moral victory for the legendary Tony Parrish.
(Now, what are we gonna do about that bastard, McElhinney? ed)

GREEDY HENSHAW - THE HIGHEST PAID BUREAUCRAT IN THE COUNTRY, from the Torygraph

Councils hide top salaries

By Robert Watts,

Sunday Telegraph
Council bosses are going to extraordinary lengths to keep their salaries secret - even claiming their children will be bullied at school if the six-figure sums are made public.
The excuse is being used by local authorities to keep taxpayers in the dark about executive pay rises at a time when council tax bills have risen by up to 12 per cent a year.
Disclosing the names and pay of top earners would "prejudice an individual's spouse and children", leaving them "vulnerable to approaches from aggrieved people who perceive their level of payment to be a waste of public money", according to one local authority.
advertisement
Publication could be viewed as an "invasion of privacy" under the European Convention on Human Rights, according to Hampshire County Council. A spokesman said employees' children could be subjected to playground bullying.
Corin Taylor, the head of research at the pressure group TaxPayers' Alliance, said councils should be made to publish precise pay data. All public companies, government departments and quangos have to reveal the names and salaries of top earners.
However, councils are required only to publish tables listing how many are paid in each £10,000 salary bracket.
Mr Taylor said: "The secrecy of councils like Hampshire is clearly an affront to democracy."
The Alliance asked 200 of Britain's 500 councils for the names and salaries of staff paid more than £100,000; 30 failed to disclose this data.
The best-paid official in local government last year was the head of Liverpool City Council, Sir David Henshaw. In his final year in office, he was paid more than £360,000.

COME ON TONY! GIVE US A BREAK BEFORE YOU GO....

OUTGOING Prime Minister Tony Blair is being asked to approve a Downing Street petition calling for Sir David Henshaw to be removed as Chair of the North West Regional Strategic Health Authority.
http://petitions.pm.gov.uk/
But don't hold your breath that TB will suddenly see the light about Sir Diddy, as he departs at the end of his 10-year rule at No 10.
So far the hard-pressed e-petitions team at Number 10 have already rejected three separate anti-Henshaw petitions.
The excuses for rejection offered by the Civil Service mandarins (all colleagues of Sir Diddy of course, ed) who administer the petitions web site have grown steadily more absurd and preposterous.
It seems they are intent on protecting one of their own.
Why is Sir Diddy, who pockets £40,000 a year in public money for being Chair of the RHA, so protected?
Why cannot he be critiscised, face a public call for his dismissal, or be held to account (even by Number 10)?
So much for democracy in our National Health Service.
We expect to hear very shortly that Attempt No 4 to petition the Prime Minister to dismiss Henshaw has also been rejected.
In the meantime, you can have a look at the three previous attempts to expose Henshaw as an evil blackmailer... Attempt Number 1 came with this petition to Number 1o:

We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to: 'remove Sir David Henshaw as Chair of the North West Strategic Health Authority' in the light of statements made by councillors in Liverpool and reports on a number of blogs, including the Henshaw and the Evil Cabal blog, we consider Sir David Henshaw to be unfit as a public servant to be left in charge of the region's health service. (seems a perfectly fair petition to me and would, no doubt, have got considerable public support, ed)
And this was the eventual response from No 10:

Hi,

I'm sorry to inform you that your petition has been rejected. Your petition was classed as being in the following categories:

* Potentially libellous, false, or defamatory statements

Presumably the bureaucrats believe it is "potentially libellous" to say that Sir David Henshaw is unfit to be in charge of the region's health service. This of course, ignores the views of 20 MP's, including the chair of the Labour Party, Hazel Blears MP and former Health Minister Jane Kennedy, MP, who said exactly the same and publicly protested about Henshaw's appointment.

Attempt No 2:

The petition was edited and re-submitted as follows:

We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to: 'remove Sir David Henshaw as Chair of the North West Strategic Health Authority' In the light of statements made by councillors and officials in Liverpool and reports on a number of blogs, including the Henshaw and the Evil Cabal blog (perfectly factual account, ed)

But this was the response from No 10:

Hi,

I'm sorry to inform you that your petition has been rejected again.

Your petition was classed as being in the following categories:

* Potentially libellous, false, or defamatory statements

So it looks as though, in our great democracy, you cannot now even make reference to statements made by senior councillors about Henshaw's blackmail and attempted coup d'etat!Notice how no details of these were even given in the petition, but it was still rejected by Number 10.

So here was Attempt Number 3

We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to: 'remove Sir David Henshaw as Chair of the North West Strategic Regional Health Authority' because his previous behaviour as chief executive of Liverpool city council makes us fear for the future of our Health Service (perfectly understandable point of view, ed)

But this was the response from the mandarins at Number 10:

Hi,

I'm sorry to inform you that your petition has been rejected.

Your petition was classed as being in the following categories:

* The names of individual officials of public bodies, unless
they are part of the senior management of those organisations

* Language which is offensive, intemperate, or provocative

Now they appear to have decided that we can't even name Sir Diddy, nor say anything at all about Sir Diddy, even though he is being paid as a public servant on a public body. (And they don't like the fact that we fear for our Health Service either, ed).

Anyway this is Attempt No 4:

We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to: 'remove Sir David Henshaw as Chair of the North West Strategic Regional Health Authority'. (simple and to the point, ed)

Presumably they will reject that as well, because it refers, outrageously, to Sir Diddy by name. (Perhaps we should go for the record of having the most petitions rejected by Number 10? ed)

Sir David Henshaw

PROFESSOR CHUCKLEBUTTY RETURNS.....TO PLAY SOME OF SIR DIDDY'S FAVOURITE SONGS: 'HE'S BEEN A HARD-FACED KNIGHT AND HE'S BEEN WORKING WITH THE DOG....'

By Jove missus! Can't a man slip quietly away into retirement without being hounded by this blog?

All i want to do is sit on me mushroom in the garden and every now and then get the rake out and go looking for cash. Is that a crime? It's hard for us pensioners to make ends meet, so i am forced to take on the odd job here and there. Panto is a long way off you know and there's a lot of local competition for the role of Sleazy right now. Mind you missus there is a clear favourite for Dopey, and Doc fixed himself up as soon as he knew i was off. But who on earth are they going to find to play Snow White? Ha ha by jove, that'll be like trying to find a weasel in a pay-stack.

So, I have to keep going, no rest for the wicked and no listeners either if we get the licence. yes you may have heard about my radio bid...that's the wireless missus. Bring back Jimmy Young!! What's the recipe today Jim? Usually something a bit fishy. Yes my venture into broadcasting with Dickhead FM has been resurrected again but this time for the Valleys of Wales. At least i won't have to play the bloody Beatles, those mop topped morons i had to keep praising in Liverpool. Capital of Culture missus! A bit more than "yeah, yeah yeah...", "Sgt Bradleys lonely hard up plans.", "Eleanor Rathbone" and "He's been a Hard Faced Knight and he was working with the Dog" A load of rubbish! I'll show you ungrateful turn-coats what real culture is, once I get my own 5 hour daily radio slot. Diddy David?.... Blast and discomknockerations! I may have to change my name there's another one already! Ahh I know, Diddy Dafyd, yes you see, I am still quick on me little feet missus.

Yes i will need to appeal to a Welsh audience, highlight my background in the jam butty mines, my diddy davey lamp on my head and face red with jam on my way home from the pit for a tin bath in front of the fire. A simple welsh rarebit from Fortnum and Masons warming on the Aga. First record will be to celebrate the Big Dig, "Road Rage" by Catatonia, actually that reminds me of look on the faces of the audience during my recent lecture tours "Forty Days And Forty Winks with The Squire of Grotty Cash"

People really are queueing up to see me speak. I must demand a smaller lecturn though, I get out of breath jumping up and down so they can see my head.

So missus back to Bighead FM, I am going to take the airwaves by storm, a little opera slot in the morning....no missus not Oprah! Opera...Verdi,Puccini,Lasagne. If I may be serious for a moment ladies and gentlemen, I have actually re-written Wagners Ring Cycle for modern day. In my new version Das Merseygold, starts with the blonde merseymaids guarding the Lieverpool gold and then along comes a poisonous little dwarf who tricks them all stealing lot. He renounces love and honour because he can still have lust and wealth. That is followed by The Valkries, where the blonde maidens really start to get screwed for losing the gold, you know the main tune..used in the war film film Apackofcrisps Now! Dumb diddy dumb dumb, dumb diddy dumb dumb...and by jove you were dumb!
Then there is Seigleader, the noble fool who brings about his own downfall trying to take on
the poison dwarf. And of course it all ends in tears with the Twighlight of the Dogs in Bloggerdammerung, as we see the downfall of the gods through greed, avarice and betrayal.

You see i can be serious and satirical missus and once my updated version is produced, I fully expect once again to have people worshipping my Ring...by jove back to the smut and innuendo quick as a flash!

Now before I go, i must say something about the Sir Diddy Hogwash Partnership, my little investment company to set aside something for a rainy day. If you want to be in my company and not many do, in fact so far it's just me and Lady Diddy, and she's not that keen, you can buy a share for a quid. This company could be hugely influential, alter the course of business for the 21st century.....a soon I find out what it does, we can start influencing. So come on down, the price is right missus, what's a pound to you? You already handed me 340,000 of them for nothing, by jove and there's plenty more out there!

A quick hello by the way to one of my ex Diddyrectors whom I hear is making a local comeback, Cheeky Chuck Parker. A fine young man who will go a long way, the further the better. You'll get no more out of me! I hope he can make a contribution to capital of culture, he was always full of bright ideas, always looking to dip his nib and get something down. I remember us thrashing around a few ideas about what we could do to make capital of culture a success. Like me, he isn't a fan of the Beatles (Jo Brown and the Bruvvers)and obviously a re-union was off the cards but people were pushing to get Paul McCartney involved. Charlie said that Mccartney was an idiot and had done of nothing merit since the Beatles. Well what about Wings? somebody said and Charlie replied, "Yes that would be good, we could sell wings with commemwerwative bwacelets wiv the 08 wogo on" Titters all round missus and the usual arguments followed as people walked out including Charlie saying they couldn't work amongst all the wanqours and compwete wack of wespect.

And that's what we need wespect...Respect especially for our elderly citizens...Up the pensioners! So come on, show you still care, send me a quid and buy a little bit of Diddy. After all i have done you for, support me now in my hour of greed.

And now now before Sailing by on Wicked FU here is the Grabbing Forecast...

Tatty bye everybody Tatty bye!

Sir David Henshaw

WATCH OUT WALES!!!!! - SOMETHING WICKED THIS WAY COMES.................

DISGRACED chief executive Sir David Henshaw is putting on his dancing shoes (cuban heeled, ed) and making a bid to set up a radio station in South Wales.

Sir Diddy is a Director of Wicked FM (you couldn't make this stuff up, could you? ed) which is bidding for the independent local radio licence for South Wales.

Readers will remember Wicked's first bid for Liverpool last year ended in disaster for Sir Diddy and cost him a few bob.He was then Chairman of the Liverpool bid for obvious reasons. But he has now been demoted to a Director and Wicked have instead got a Welsh bloke to front up their application, so they look a bit local.

But in their submission document for south Wales (which is interestingly NOT in Welsh, ed) Wicked FM still make Sir Diddy one of their big noises.
They say of Sir Diddy:

"Sir David brings an insight into the importance of the relationship between media broadcasters and the local community (do me a favour, ed). His experience in creating critical bridges between the two is an invaluable part of the Wicked FM bid." (This bid is obviously also doomed, ed)

This will all be news to staff at Radio City in Liverpool, which Sir Diddy once loftily dismissed as 'very low grade', promising never to darken its doorsteps. It will also be news to staff at BBC Radio Merseyside for which Sir Diddy had a similarly lofty disdain.

More importantly it will be news to the local community in Liverpool who Sir Diddy robbed blind during his time as chief executive, when he lined his own pockets at its expense.
Sir Diddy has 500 shares (bought with council taxpayer's money, ed) in Wicked FM which will be "a modern rock station supplying chart and album track indie, alternative rock and rhythmic guitar based music from the last 20 years meeting the clear demand in South Wales for a station that satisfies audiences under 40 who don’t want either chart pop based music or RnB dance music," their submission breathlessly intones.

And it goes on: (oh tell me it does'nt, ed)

"The tone of the station will be undeniably Welsh. Wales is currently reasserting its culture, re-establishing nationhood and building a future for its citizens, particularly the young, who will be the ones to realize Wales’s future. The station will be totally committed to satisfying its Welsh audience and advertisers, it will be the antithesis of a station/format imported from England. "

Funny that everyone listed as a Director is both English and an imported old has-been, like Sir Diddy. His only connection with Wales is his legendary holiday home in Harlech, which has surprisingly still not been targetted by incendiary Welsh nationalists. (Altogether now: 'we'll keep a welcome in the hillsides....', ed)

The franchise is the largest in Britain and Sir Diddy hopes it will give him a cuban-heeled foot in the door to other lucrative FM radio franchises in Wales. (After that it will be Poland, and then world domination, ed)
Here's some other info from the Wicked bid document:
• Wicked FM is majority owned by UK Media and Radio Ltd, which is principallyfunded by the Global Media Rights Fund, a Jersey based investment fund with a commitment to investing in UK commercial radio.
And this is the info about Henshaw:

SIR DAVID HENSHAW

Occupation: Chairman NHS North West
Other Directorships: Non Executive Director Hedra Plc
Non Executive Director Albany Investment Trust Plc
Non Executive Director North West Enquirer Ltd
Other Media Interests: None (he reads the Independent, doesn't he???????????? ed)
Sir David Henshaw was the Chief Executive of Liverpool City Council from 1999 to 2006. He was also Chief Executive of Liverpool Culture Company, Deputy Chair of the board of the Mersey Partnership and Chair of Liverpool Partnership Group (blah, blah, blah, ed)........ he obtained a degree at Sheffield in Public Administration (he's still ashamed he went to a Poly, isn't he? ed) and then a.....(blah, blah, blah...ed)

The funniest thing is that Sir Diddy, who thinks The Magic Numbers are the pension he robbed from Liverpool, only likes opera and even had to hide his dislike of The Beatles from councillors in Liverpool!

Sir David Henshaw

SIR DIDDY GOES ON THE LECTURE CIRCUIT TO TRY AND CASH IN ON LIVERPOOL

DISGRACED former chief executive Sir David Henshaw is hitting the lecture circuit - to try and cash in on Liverpool.
Sir Diddy has been using the old pals act around his contacts in SOLACE - the Society for Local Authority Chief Executives - to try and get himself another earner.
The tactic of hawking himself around has paid off in at least one case - Henshaw has been booked to appear at a seminar next month.
Sir Diddy will be donning his best suit, shining up his Cuban heels and driving down to Birmingham in his new range rover for the ICS Annual Public Sector Seminar on 19-20 April.
This little talking shop is being hosted by Stephen Hughes, Chief Executive at Birmingham City Council, who is an old contact of Henshaw's - the two go back even before the blackmailer was at Knowsley.
Hughes is also a mate of Sir Michael Lyons - the guy brought in by Henshaw to mediate with council leader Mike Storey at the height of the civil war in Liverpool.
It now seems that Lyons may not have been as independent and neutral as was claimed at the time.
Henshaw is described in the publicity material for the seminar as "high-profile and authoritative" (Christ, these people will believe anything won't they? ed).
The publicity makes no mention of the fact that councillors in Liverpool refused to work with Henshaw any longer after his attempted coup and blackmailing.
They eventually showed him the door just as the full scale of his corrupt mismanagement was becoming clear.
Amongst the other speakers are:
• Stephen Taylor, Chief Executive, from the Leadership Centre for Local Government and
• David Clark, Director General, the Society for Local Authority Chief Executives and Senior Managers (SOLACE).
Both of these are also loyal Henshaw acolytes who are part of a small local government coterie which Henshaw cultivated while at Knowsley and then Liverpool.
They are all part of the SOLACE network whose main purpose in life appears to be staging conferences and seminars at which their mates are the guest speakers!
They all take turns apiece to appear and try to impress the impressionable in local government.
And Henshaw's fee for appearing at this latest stop by the SOLACE gravy train?
Of course the conference organisers won't reveal this informatiom, but informed sources tell us Henshaw will be trousering £6,000 for his one-hour appearance.

REVEALED: Where Henshaw has put the £300,000 he blackmailed and stole from the council taxpayers of Liverpool!

DOCUMENTS from Companies House reveal exactly what has happened to the £300,000 which Sir David Henshaw blackmailed from Liverpool.

Sir Diddy, who used extortion, threats, blackmail and lies to eventually escape with the pay-off has now set up his own company, the grandly named - David Henshaw Partnership Limited.
Not surprisingly however, no-one else has yet been prepared to put their names to Diddy's 'Partnership' except Sir Diddy and his long suffering missus, lady Alison.
Sir Diddy was finally forced out as chief executive of of Liverpool city council last March when councillors refused to work with him any longer.
But just before he fled with his huge bag of swag, Sir Diddy got his accountant to set up the 'David Henshaw Partnership' for £1, using the 'off the shelf' name Brighton Secretary, of 3 Marlborough Road, Lansing, West Sussex.
Once Sir Diddy had resigned, the way was then left clear for Sir Diddy to have total control of his new company with his 'poor' missus. There are no other Partners listed in the Partnership.
Companies House documents give a formal and routine description of what the business is for - everything from loaning money to property investment - but clearly Sir Diddy believes that squirrelling away his cash in the company will result in considerable tax advantages. (If anyone wants to see the full documents, send us an email, ed)

But crucially, the official documents reveal that:


"The Company's share capital is £300,000 divided into 100,000 ordinary Class 'A' shares of £1 each, 100,000 ordinary Class 'B' shares of £1 each and 100,000 ordinary Class 'C' shares of £1 each."

So that's where all that council taxpayer's money went!

THANKS TO FRIEND FOR HIS/HER WELL INFORMED COMMENTS WHICH LED TO THIS POST!

Sir David Henshaw

WE BET HENSHAW GOT HIS BONUS....

The CSA has been criticised by parents

Staff at the failed Child Support Agency were paid £25m in bonuses over five years, government figures reveal.

In 2006, when the government announced the CSA would be replaced, £4m was paid out in bonuses, it was revealed in a written Parliamentary answer.

The CSA is being abolished after failing to collect £3.5bn of child maintenance payments.

For the Tories, Philip Hammond said it would come as a shock to the 1.4m families using the CSA.

"It's as easy for a rich diddyman to enter the kingdom of health as it is for a cabal to pass through the eye of an evil...."

The Squire Of Daddies Cash said...

By Jove, I'm back, yes the big digger missus! Right into your pockets!

Here again, like the proverbial bad penny, ha, ha, no such thing as a bad penny, send them to me missus, by jove. Never mind under the floor boards, my new house will be built on Williamson's Tunnels. Plenty of room there to store the grotty cash!

Now this thing is still going on about me being the Squire of Medi-cash, but todays sermon members of the parrish of St Tony, is on a subject very close to my height...Children!

Yes my missionary work with the CSA. Cash Supplied Abundantly! Now at first I wasn't sure if I should take up a position as a missionary, so i consulted Doc the Marmaliser. I said what would you think of a missionary position? He said go for it Diddy, but not in the shower, the water can go up your nose. So I thought long and hard.... did I have the skills and the ability, the passion, the committment..then I thought about the 900 quid a day.

So you see it was a personal calling for me. £900 a day, that's more than the cost of a councillors computer..nearly. But it's not the money missus it's other higher rewards...bigger heels for me shoes..no higher than that. I know what your thinking, it's as easy for a rich diddyman to enter the kingdom of health as it is for a cabal to pass through the eye of an evil.

Now, "Give me a child to the age of 7.." the Jesuits used to say, actually one of the silent orders said it first, but nobody heard them.

Give me a child to the age of 7 and I'll clear off and you'll never see a penny. That was my brief to overhaul the CSA (Cash Still Accummulating) and track down these absent fathers. Unfair to the diddy dads some may say? Come off it, they're all loaded, staying at Buckingham Palace dressing up as batman? One of them owns a crane, I've seen him danngling off it dressed as Spiderman.

Why Superheroes missus? why Batman,Superman Spiderman? If they want Justice, why not dress as Ombudsman? If they stopped dressing as Milkman there might be a few less skint kids missus. And it is heart breaking.....to think of all that missing money..

I did me reaearch by jove yes! In this day and age, children barefoot on cobbled streets huddled in doorways in our own city! A scandal... not even a pair of scandals!

If you don't believe me you can see the pictures for yourself in the Library. "Liverpool" by Gon Days. short for Gonville i think. Published only last year. So my research is up to date. An outrage!

Believe me, ladies and gentlemen I was determined that these children should get the help they need. Just imagine the difference it would make if these families had enough money to phone LDL for help. By Jove,...they'd make a fortune! Another one! keep them on hold...if they're in a phone box at least they are out of the rain..some words of comfort while they are on hold..." all our advisers are busy looking for other jobs....your cash is important to us...we are currently in a queue at the bank."

So anyway half a million later when I found me quil, i wrote my report on the back of a spare vest. I'd already sent some briefs earlier.

Sack half the staff, they are all rubbish, for the rest, purchase200 pocket calculators (only £3500 each from one of my contacts in LDL plus service charge and AA battery not supplied) and a phonebook. Then innstigate the classic sting operation to track down the Dads!

Hello is that Mr Cockie-leekie? your son Wee Hamish has won the Lottery and wants you to come home. Soon as he sets foot back in the house, turn him upside down by the ankles and shake! Please make cheque payable to Sir Diddy.

Now some people said my report was a load of rubbish and achieved nothing. Nonsense I say, look at my bank balance now missus!

Actually before I go on, I wish to withdraw something I put in earlier...behave yourself madam, not even with somebody else's tickling stick! No not hindsight for the missing dads either, I am referring to a comment about Doc the Marmaliser and misdoings in the shower. Now this appalling Blog business has been very unfair, labelling him the dirty dog and the Rottweiller..sniffing around Golden receivers. So i would like to make it clear right now that he was cleared of any wrong doings whatsoever by a stewards enquiry at Crufts.

Ahhh i wonder if he misses me. Those days sharing the council chamber pot, him lifting me on and off and then wiping my pc for me. What a gap i must have left. Is it possible that they could find somebody who could fill my shoes missus? They did show me the top 3 choices Ronnie Corbett, Jeanette Krankie and Jimmy Clitheroe..all too busy. I did hear that Little Richard was interested, but he was too busy trying to find out just who

this Tracey Parrish was. Well I can answer that...It was none other than that media menace Judy Finnigan! yes, not the first time she's tried to expose the diddies to the public! Well all I can say is that whoever was chosen as my successor, I hope he does a good job for the city. He'll never have as many hits as me, I just hope he doesn't try and do cover versions.

Arthur Askey would be my choice, yes big hearted Arthur..perhaps he was on the bee list? Is it Arthur?

Anyway ladies and gentlemen, I think I have said enough. If after reading my wise words and comments, you still think I was wrong in some of my actions as Squire...be kind to my memory.

Remember, my work for the CSA was also in recognition of my own unhappy childhood. Yes the Jesuits were right about the formative years. they can influence a man. I was after all a war baby, born durng the blitz in the bed next to Stan Boardmans act. Yes a war baby! the midwife took one look and said whooooaar, what's that?

I was a diddy baby too, delivered by tweezers. But at 3 months old I was kidnapped by Gerbils and held for ransom. Nobody would pay the 37 shillings and sixpnce they demanded and i think that is why money became so important to me in later life.

The gerbils quickly grew to loathe me after I privatised their wheel but they were afraid to bring me back because owing to a misprint on a government telegram in 1939, Britain had been at war with the Gerbils for 7 years. So they dumped me in a moses basket and floated me off down the mersey...I still sleep in it to remind me. By the time I was re-united with my diddy family, my charecter was formed.

So i can't help myself missus...actually I can and do ha ha by jove yes! But that's the man that stands here before you...here..no here...down here missus!

Well this is my last contribution to these glorious pages. I'm off to pursue another new career as a writer. i am going to team up with professor Tom Slemen, the man of Liverpool mysteries and blood curdling tales of long ago. Yes madam it'll send chills up your flannel nighty, especially when you are out going to the off licence in your dressing gown pretending to be a Pete Price listener. Me and Professor Slemen have uncovered new evidence about an old Liverpool horror story,about which i have a particular insight.

That of an evil little goblin figure who used to terrorise the good people of Liverpool, making their souls and wallets feel cold and empty, a hideous sight last seen leaping from the roof of the town hall to the municipal building and then onto the roof of all of the banks along Castle Street, leaving large filthy deposits as people cried helplessly.

Yes, you know who I mean, none other than the notorius Liverpool legend, Cuban Heeled Jack !

So Tatty bye everybody Tatty bye!

HENSHAW and HEALTH - MONEY MAKES THE WORLD GO ROUND

Within days of Sir David Henshaw being appointed to the Regional Health Authority, he was showing his true colours.
One of his first acts in his £40,000 a year post (plus unknown expenses, ed), was to insist that he should be appointed as Chair of the Authority's Remuneration Committee.
This is the committee which decides if a particular manager of a Trust should get a pay rise, a pay freeze, or even a pay cut (unheard of, ed).
It also sets the pay levels for new management recruits (Dr David McElhinney by any chance? ed) and decides what little perks they should get - relocation expenses, transport, hospitality budget, etc, etc.
One Gateway House insider said: "Sir David made it very clear that he regarded the Remuneration Committee as crucially important in deciding the level of rewards for senior staff and that he would take a very pro-active role as Chair."
In one fell swoop Henshaw has thus ensured the reluctant loyalty of health chiefs, who will not get the pay rise they want if they don't obey Sir Diddy's orders.
No doubt he will also use his position to pursue his all-consuming interest in making money for himself and his friends.
Interestingly the Regional Health Authority has just announced, AT HENSHAW'S INSTIGATION, that it will be adopting an American system for rewarding hospitals in future.
Those hospitals who have a good record of making patients better, will get extra money.
Paying them by results, it is called.
This was a money-driven brainwave that Henshaw brought back from the US during one of his many 'fact-finding' trips across the pond at taxpayers expense.
We just wonder what happens when a patient dies?
Will their family be able to claim a tax rebate?

THE SQUIRE OF MEDI-CASH, AKA PROFESSOR CHUCKLEBUTTY, WRITES EXCLUSIVELY FOR HENSHAW AND THE EVIL CABAL ON SIR DIDDY AND MAGGIE BOYLE....

By Jove! here i am again, being accused of all sorts!
You ungrateful Bassets!
What have I done to deserve this missus? How tickled I was to take up my new post as chairman of the Great North Western Railway Health Authority. Or whatever it's called.
To be honest,I only looked at the wages.
Mind the gap! Ha-ha, Yes, the one between credibility and salary.
Well as you know, my tickling stick can fill any gap, They can't touch you for it!
Yes, health. Of course I've been drumming up business for the health service for years, most people are quickly sick at the sight of me.
As new chairman, I was able to pick my own chair, but I still had to put four cushions on it so they could see my head over the table.
And now, here I am working in health being accused of speeding up the process to get rid of a troublesome boil!
People are saying that I was scared of her standing up to me, what nonsense! she stood up to me once and i looked her straight in the gusset and said, listen here Maggie, you'll never walk down Lime Street anymore if you carry on like this. Mind you, you can't drive down either.
So as Chairman, i excercised my authority and hid her chair for the next meeting. She was totally discomknockerated and quickly cleared off to take a new job in charge of the Veterinary surgery in Emmerdale.
i was in Emmerdale once you know missus, Ooo Arrrhh yes! In the old days when Amos Brailey was birdwatching. The script called for a little tit to come through the window of the Woolpack.... how dare you madam? No I was an extra who found a feather in his pint.
Anyway, where was I?
oh yes..do you know ladies and gentlemen, it's free for the public to dial 999? That can't be right? Lets's face it, if you are really sick you wont mind paying a few bob to phone for an ambulance.
And now when you ring them, there's no recorded message or music to listen to! What kind of customer care is that? A little Rossini will help you stop worrying about the scissors in your neck. The Thieving Magpie has always been a favourite of mine. That reminds me i must call the Doctor myself.
And this 999 service is all so gloomy. Cheer the callers up with a few shaggy dog stories, in fact I'll give you his number.
Now we all want good health and i believe that there is only one part of the body that needs treating regularly, and that's the funny bone. yes the Humourus. we all need to excercise the chuckle muscle at least 3 times a day.
First thing in the morning, I go into the bathroom, take all my clothes off in front of the mirror and look at the size of my moneybelt. Ha Ha! By Jove! One sneeze and I could hit the jackpot. Hold yer plums Diddy!!
And forget all this nonsense about obesity, it's nice to get hold of something, isn't it ladies and gentlemen, I keep piling on the pounds and that excercises my chuckle muscle every time I go to the bank.
Yes the Wealth Service is safe in my hands!!! Tatty-bye everybody tatty-bye!!!

HENSHAW THE HYPOCRITE DOES A RUNNER - AFTER BLAMING EVERYONE ELSE FOR LIVERPOOL!

DISGRACED former chief executive Sir David Henshaw changed the day of his Grauniad lecture to avoid an angry public confrontation with his former media chief.
Sir Diddy begged organisers of the conference to let him speak a day early than scheduled so that he could escape a public mauling from Matt Finnegan, the city council's former AED (Media).
Sir Diddy was due to speak at the conference on Friday when Finnegan, who had been framed and suspended by Henshaw, planned to join other Merseyside delegates in questioning Henshaw about his record at Liverpool, which cost council taxpayers millions.
But when Henshaw read this blog and found out who was amongst the delegates in the audience, he pleaded with the Guardin to allow him to speak on Thursday instead, in an unadvertised slot, because he feared an embarrassing scene.
A Guradian staffer said:"Sir David has kept up to date with what is being said about him on the blogosphere and elsewhere and was clearly concerned that there would be people in the audience who were not amongst his supporters and there might be some inappropriate questioning after his speech. He asked us to bring his slot forward a day to avoid any
unpleasantness - and we were happy to oblige."
As Henshaw escaped from the Guardian Public Services Summit Finnegan, who has become Henshaw's sworn enemy, warned there would be 'no hiding place' for Henshaw.
He said: "I am obviously disappointed that Henshaw did a runner and scarpered early. He did the same in Liverpool of course, to avoid embarrassing and difficult questions.
"He will find that he can run, but he can't hide - eventually his sins will catch up with him."
During his Thursday speech Henshaw, chairman of the North West Strategic Health Authority, had the gall to blame everyone but himself for the fall-out in Liverpool and being finally shown the door.
Henshaw conveniently ignored his own personal greed, attempts at blackmail and attempted coup d'etat, and his own abuse of his personal position and power.
Astonishingly, Henshaw who took early retirement after a no confidence vote by Executive Members following his feud with Mike Storey, blamed "additional pressure from central government on council chief executives" for his bust-up.
Henshaw, who was paid £250,000 a year and left Liverpool with a £360,000 pension pay-off, said local authority chief executives were faced with pressures from the government, which 'sometimes conflicted with the ambitions of locally elected councillors and caused tensions on the ground.'
This of course, has absolutely nothing to do with his departure from Liverpool.
The tensions on the ground at Liverpool came from his own personal style - his bullying, lying and uncontrollable rages had finally become too much for the politicians to stomach any longer.
They feared that his huge ego, control freakery, arrogance and obsession with his own image was harming relationships inside and outside the city and damaging Liverpool'e reputation.
In his Guardian speech, Henshaw tried to rehabilitate his shattered reputation by posing as a defender of democracy, when as has been revealed, he had personally orchestrated an attempt to remove Liverpool's democratically elected leader.
"We are seeing more and more clashes between managerial and political leadership," said Henshaw, trying to excuse his own extraordinary behaviour and implying that the Liverpool debacle was not unique.
"Pushing responsibility towards managers by central government creates a displacement of power at local level which leads to tensions."
In other words, it was all Mike Storey's fault because he was jealous of Sir Diddy's power (and his intellectual superiority, political astuteness and personal charm no doubt, ed)
Utter bollocks.
Henshaw's immense ego, self-importance, arrogance and control freakery were beginning to alienate everyone who came across him (see Maggie Boyle's resignation, ed)
He had simply become too big for his boots (even with his Cuban heels on, ed).
There was a genuine fear for the future of the city if he carried on a moment longer.
Henshaw is now so desperate to try and re-write history (like every other dictator, ed) that he personally briefed The Guardian reporter at the conference on the civil war in Liverpool, trying to pass it off as "a professional feud" with Storey.
Wrong.
It was both a deeply personal and highly political feud which, if it had happened in Islington, the Guardian would have been splashing all over the front page as a threat to democracy.
Henshaw is well aware that he has now been publicly identified as an anti-democrat and plotter of coups.
To try and rebuild his reputation he, apparently straight-faced, told the Guardian audience:
"Unless we empower local elected politicians with real responsibility and real accountability we will not refresh the local politics that need to be refreshed and therefore reengage at local community level."
What a hypocrite the greedy little man truly is...

ANOTHER OFFICIAL QUITS AFTER HENSHAW'S BULLYING

THE CURSE OF HENSHAW has struck again...
Another senior official has quit after a bust-up with Sir Diddy (Sir David Henshaw, ed)
But this time it is not a council official, but a senior health service official who has resigned.
Maggie Boyle, chief executive of the Royal Liverpool and Broadgreen Hospitals Trust has announced that she is leaving after four-and-a-half years in the job.
Ms Boyle is leaving the £145,000 a year job and getting out of the North West into the bargain, to avoid having to work a day longer under Sir Diddy's direction as Chairman of the North West Strategic Health Authority.

Instead she is going across the border to Yorkshire to run the country's largest teaching hospital in Leeds.

But unusually for a departing senior bureaucrat, she went out of her way to make clear her views about Sir Diddy following a lengthy battle with him over plans to build a £12.5m bypass on the hospital's city centre site.
An agreement was finally only reached last year after Sir Diddy was forced to take early retirement from the city council when new council leader Warren Bradley told him to go.
Ms Boyle admitted the negotiations with Henshaw had been "difficult", mainly because he hated having to face a strong woman who would stand up to him and refused to be bullied.
She said discussions had become easier following his forced departure.
"It was much smoother once Warren Bradley took over as leader at the council. He and the new chief executive Colin Hilton have been much easier to deal with.
"It was about finding a compromise that meant both the hospital and the road could be built, because at one point it looked like we might have neither." (thanks to Henshaw's bull-headed obstinacy and opposition to any idea that did not come from his own little brain, ed)
"I'm happy that the solution we've come up with is the best for the city," said Boyle.
Henshaw, of course, will be delighted at Boyle's departure so that he does not have to face her again.

SECURITY SHOCK: HENSHAW'S GUARDIAN LECTURE FOUND ON LAPTOP - WITH GRATEFUL THANKS TO PROFESSOR CHUCKLEBUTTY!

Prof Yaffle Chucklebutty said...

Extract from the lecture found on laptop.

By Jove, missus! what a tattynefarious day, yes, when I was made Squire of Grotty Cash. Who would have thought it, from those dark days in the Knowsley Jam-butty mines to be elevated to such lofty heights. And that's not just my cuban heels. What a beautiful day for putting a shovel in your underpants and saying how's that for a Big Dig? Yes when the good burghers and some very silly burghers of Lollypool, put me in charge of Chuckle Chambers I didn't want to leave this wonderful city with tears for souveignirs but to leave you feeling full of mirth and your spirits lighter. Well i was close missus I left full of murk and with your bank balance much lighter. Of course I am now a Knight of the Realm. And what a bloody awful night it was too. Arise Sir Diddy,they said, yes please I said, so I increased my salary. But I couldn't have done it without good friends. And closest of all was Doc the Marmaliser. He helped me leave a great legacy, LDL. Lotsa Dirty Lucra. Where's all the money gone people ask. Well mostly to Charity to help a dear old lady called Beatty. A shame I fell out with Dickie Mint over silly things like the Trams and the Cloud but when he tried to offer me a bus pass to go it was only Off- peak, an insult to a man of my standing (4' 10" in my heels) and I was not going to stand at the bus stop until 9.30 missus, not with the cold windy weather whistling round your knighthood. I didn't want my investments shrinking. So i threatened to report Dickie to the to help the aged standards committee and they were shocked at what they found! Dickie had been trying topple me with his cohort, Mattymail Funniblog. Dickie had to step down from his high office and finally look me in the eye. A new experience for me! But it was all worth it, i got my pension and my full bus pass. So I think the whole issue about standards in public office that can be learned from my time in charge of the chuckle muscle of merseyside comes down to one thing Happiness! We all need to be happy and it's good to see that despite all the bigwigs driving around in their posh cars, they stil think of the less fortunate, like the Homeless and have, I believe, just invested some cash in Shelter. So the Liver Birds still stand proud and so do the pigeons on the roof of the Town Hall and as i said to the pigeons on the day I left, lets stop all this silly coo nonsense. I did what I did to stand up for Diddymen everywhere. Tatty Bye everybody Tatty Bye!!!!
