Do We Really Want This For The Wirral?
Below is a video featuring the legacy former Bradford City Council Leader Eric Pickles and successive Tory administrations have left at Bradford.
Eric Pickles also known as the ‘Beast of Bradford’ is now an Tory MP in a safe seat and also Chair of the Conservative Party and is held in high regard by the Wirral Conservative Group with whom he regularly meets.
“Impressed with Eric Pickles” Cllr Ian Lewis May 28th 2009 via Twitter.
“Had the pleasure of meeting Eric Pickles” Cllr Dennis Knowles August 20th on his blog
With role models such as Eric Pickles can the Tories be really trusted with running Wirral Borough Council

Resign Denis!!
You would think watching the hubris demonstrated by Wirral Tories that Seacombe has suddenly turned into a safe Tory seat, simply because former Socialist Cllr Knowles has abandoned his obviously shallow principles for reasons known only to himself and joined the Tories (though I suspect that losing his £20k + Merseytravel allowance had something to do with it).
The reality is that there is a great deal of anger from the people of Seacombe in the way Cllr Knowles has treated them, with many unhappy in the way they have had a Tory Councillor foisted upon them, and all we have spoke to want him out.
No doubt Cllr Knowles is enjoying mixing with his new Tory chums like Cllr Chris Blakeley, Tory Party Chairman Eric Pickles and no doubt he is looking forward to meeting the great leader himself David Cameron, but if Cllr Knowles had an ounce of decency left then he would resign and let the people of Seacombe have their say. But I doubt that will happen as everyone knows including Cllr Knowles and the Wirral Tories that the Tory hubris in Seacombe is pure fantasy.
However there has been one side effect, that is the number of people beating a path to the door of Seacombe Branch Labour Party in order to join the Labour Party and help rid Seacombe of former Socialist Cllr Knowles.
