DISGRACED chief executive Sir David Henshaw is to lecture on 'public service and trust' in a stunning piss-take of his mis-rule in Liverpool by The Guardian newspaper.
Chortling executives at the broadsheet have displayed a surprising and previously hidden sense of humour by announcing they have booked Sir Diddy to speak at a special summit on the future of public services.
That event would be side-splitting enough and one of the humnour highlights of the year given Henshaw's previous history in Liverpool and that he:
- attempted a coup against the elected leader of the city council
- blackmailed the city council
- abused his position for private gain
- stole millions of pounds of public money
But those clever Hampstead intellectuals at the Groaniad have gone even further, laughingly labelling the summit - in a clear and knowing reference to the diminutive diddy dictator - as "Smaller but cleverer? The coming shape of government in a changing world."
It's understood that executives on the paper will be on hand at the summit to give out hankies to the invited audience to help them stifle their tears of laughter when diddyman Henshaw gets to his little feet and pompously holds forth.
The plan to invite greedy Henshaw to the summit was apparently dreamed up in an Islington wine bar one long afternoon by an anti-establishment senior executive at the paper.
It's thought the brainwave came out of a deliberate attempt to undermine the entire
credibility of the prestigious conference. (Good job the editor hasn't twigged yet, then, ed)
It's understood that, like many others, the exec had become increasingly disenchanted with the national media's obsession with the narrow Westminster village and life in London.
He had bravely decided to take a principled and campaigning interest in Henshaw's disgraceful activities in Liverpool, which have caused so much damage to democracy and the city's image , finances and interests.
The un-named editorial crusader (perhaps he is a relative of Tony Parrish? ed) believed that the disgraceful behaviour of Henshaw as a senior public "servant" who is now responsible for the North West's health service, was a cause for serious concern.
He arranged to hire Henshaw for an undisclosed fee (but we bet it's a packet, ed) in order to expose his activities and hypocrisy to a wider public.
Thus Henshaw will be addressing the two-day conference (the delegate fee is a bargain £999 only, ed) on "a new public relationship which explores in detail the relationship between public and government."
The Guardian apparently cleverly intends to demonstrate how much damage Henshaw, as a so-called public servant, caused to democracy and the public interest when he took on the elected leader of the council after their relationship collapsed.
Of course he then blackmailed the city council, suspended his media chief on trumped up charges and finally extorted a huge £340,000 pay off out of the council for agreeing to take early retirement.
The Henshaw lecture session, which is on Day 2 of the conference, will discuss "would decentralisation assist the recovery of trust"?
(Not necessarily, if the chief executive happens to be a vicious and nasty, power-mad little ego-maniac, who is only interested in how much public money he can screw out of the public purse, ed)
The summit is being held in a big posh hotel at St Albans on January 25 and 26th and will feature appearances by democractic luminaries such as Cabinet Sec
retary Sir Gus O'Donnell, Tory leader David Cameron (right), Guardian editor Alan Rusbridger and the paper's well informed and knowledgeable David Walker, who is responsible for organising the summit.
The original Tony Parrish whose liverpool evil cabal blog first exposed Sir Diddy's evil deeds came out of retirement to give us his exclusive reaction to the Groaniad's clever stunt.
He told us: "Many people believe the Guardian is a supremely cynical and hypocritical publication which poses as having a liberal conscience and sensibility whilst conspiring to consistently undermine all that is decent in public life and public service.
"Others feel that it is just obsessed with London politics and pays lip service to the rest of the country and serious issues which matter such as local democracy and accountability.
"But this incredibly subtle piss-take and clever ruse of inviting Sir Diddy to try and lecture people on 'trust and public service' proves that the Guardian is as committed to democracy, truth and justice as we had all hoped.
"We can all rest easy in our beds that the future of British journalism is safe in its hands."

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...
