VOTE IN OUR NEW POLL!!!!
What others say about Henshaw
"A man in whom I have no confidence and for whom I have no respect" Jane Kennedy, MP, former Health Minister.
"He's a puffed up little bully," Councillor Mike Storey, former leader of Liverpool city council.
"Henshaw has an ego the size of the city," Robert Crawford, former chief executive of the Mersey Partnership.
"An odious little wretch," Alison Halford.
"He did bugger all to get Culture here and then tried to claim all the credit," Sir Bob Scott.
"Who?, Tony Blair.
"He tried to get me sacked once - it was unbelievable," Executive Director, Phil Halsall.
"A horrible man," George Howarth, MP.
"Frighteningly insecure, driven by a huge ego and the overwhelming desire to be loved. He's like a little boy lost on the one hand - and on the other, the most vicious, nasty brutish individual you could ever have the misfortune to meet, let alone work for. Motivated by greed and believes in nothing but himself..." Matt Finnegan, former Director of Communications.
"Do you want to be in my gang?", Osama Bin Laden.
"A puffed up little squirt, poncing about the city as if he owned it," Warren Bradley, council leader
"A horrible man, horrible," Rex Makin.
"Of course he tried to blackmail the leader of the council and he should have been run out of town as a result," Councillor Richard Marbrow
"A nasty little ego-maniac," Mark Dickenson, former editor of the Liverpool Echo.
"Henshaw did absolutely nothing to help me in Culture throughout the last year he was here. He was always away in London trying to feather his own nest. He was useless." Jason Harbarrow, acting chief executive of the Liverpool Culture Company.
"My hero," David McElhinney.
"THERE IS A COMPLETE LACK OF OVERALL STRATEGY OR VISION...THE CULTURE AT THE COUNCIL IS ONE OF CONTROL...IT'S ABOUT CONTROLLING THE DEVELOPMENT AGENDA AND IT'S NOT EVEN ABOUT ONE INSTITUTION CONTROLLING THE AGENDA, IT'S ABOUT ONE MAN CONTROLLING THE AGENDA"
David Taylor, former chief exec, English Partnerships

COMMENT ABOUT HENSHAW POSTED ON GOSSIP BLOG
Anonymous said...
to get serious for a minute...you should know that Sir Diddy has run as fast as his little legs will carry him to his solicitors, following the post on the henshaw evil cabal blog about the Guardian lecture. he is threatening writs, libel actions, injunctions, judiucial reviews and all kinds of other legal jiggery pokery to again try and close the blog down. his solicitors are brabners again. This has all come from a colleague of his wife (who is herself a nice person, given who she lives with). Sir Diddy is also apparently in regular contact with Mceilhenny and halsall and the three of them met for dinner before xmas at a hotel in Cheshire - but i doubt whether Diddy paid! One bizarre thing - he has also been talking to the cops to see if he can persuade them to do something. he says he is being persecuted! The irony of it! He is really worried about the Guardian lecture and whether anyone is going to take the piss out of him publicly in front of the great and the good and has seriously talked to someone from the guardian about improving security or pulling out! christ knows who he thinks he is. but his solicitors have advised him to carry on. He is apparently furious at Finnegan and the Tony Parrish campaign, which appears to have had a big impact at westminster amongst labour mps and in other local councils. according to the girls, henshaw is afraid that he is now regarded as being completely persona non grata and worries constantly about important people snubbing him. which must be true!
but the best news is this - they are talking about leaving liverpool and moving somewhere else! hurrah!
anyway, watch out for the lawyers lads - even though he is full of the usual bluster, you never know what he will do when he gets in a tizz. and he has got the money. will try to keep you up-dated on any other developments...

LORD SKELMERSDALE'S VERDICT ON HENSHAW'S PROPOSALS FOR THE CHILD SUPPORT AGENCY
"The new scheme has not proved to be working any better than the original one, and the initial administrative reforms suggested by Sir David Henshaw are clearly insufficient to make much of a difference. "
WHAT GREEDY HENSHAW POCKETED FOR his 'insufficient' recommendations on the CSA
James Plaskitt (Parliamentary Under-Secretary, Department for Work and Pensions):
The Henshaw redesign's estimated total costs between February 2006 and July 2006 will be as follows:
Sir David Henshaw's time £54,000
Redesign secretariat staffing (people who will run around for Sir Diddy and jump when he barks, ed) £200,000
Redesign non-staff costs and publication up to £75,000
Redesign research/consultation (Henshaw glancing at his emails to see what people have said about the CSA, ed) £50,000
Note:
Figures are rounded to the nearest £1,000.
The DWP also meets the costs of general office overheads for example accommodation, IT etc. (these will include Henshaw staying in five star hotels all over the place, and having a fancy lap top, ed) These costs are not separately identifiable from DWP running costs. (conveniently, ed)
Information on costs to this Department are not yet available. The redesign secretariat is staffed by employees from the Department for Work and Pensions and the Cabinet Office and the costs detailed are an estimate of the direct costs of Sir David Henshaw and his team for both Departments.
Sir David Henshaw's report will contain the details of the costs incurred by this Department and representations made to him.

What the Americans say my blog is worth!
Here's some more inside gen on Sir Diddy.
Did you know that he reads the blog avidly and even posted a comment on the Guradian lecture post? He was 'Intrigued' apparently - check it out.
Anyway, you are right, he was desperate to avoid a scene at the lecture and made special arrangements to swap his appearance, so he could avoid any unpleasantness with Mat Finnigan.
He has also spoken to Councillor Paul Clark about the blog and warned him that Chas Cole has million of pounds to sue. Henshaw is also furious that Storey's evidence to the Standards Board has been leaked so successfully and is now in the public domain, via this blog and the other evil cabal ones. He had a real go at Clark about all that - accusing Storey of leaking it etc, etc, although he says Clark is useless. Clearly he feels a bit vulnerable about what was in Storey's statement.
The stuff from Antrobus and Clark particularly, apparently still worry him as does the accusations of him being a blackmailer and extortionist. You have touched a nerve there Tony, I would keep going if i were you.
He is also desperately worried that all this will continue to follow him to the health service.
The bad news for him is that Hilary Armstrong is on her way out when Brown takes over from Blair, (Henshaw's wife openly talks about his good friends Hilary and her husband Paul!) so he has been trying recently to arrange meetings with the Treasury, presumably to try and ingratiate himself.
He has also set up his own little company called The David Henshaw Partnership, with some of his 'mates'. Have a look at Comnpanies House to see if it is registered.
Hope this helps...
