We understand that it was a typical Bank Holiday Monday back in Blighty. Bleak,wet and miserable. Indeed we’ve been sent the above picture which not only seemed to reflect the general mood but also served as an antidote to all the idealised artist’s impressions of Birkenhead we’ve been seeing all over the press lately.
Apparently the picture was taken at the bottom of Holt Hill , Birkenhead – ironically the scene for one of the most famous pictures ever taken on Wirral when Cammell Laird was an industrial powerhouse and the town’s main employer.
Although it ain’t Bansky we think the graffiti speaks volumes about post-industrial nihilism and the challenge that faces those who optimistically seek to transform Birkenhead . Meanwhile what a dispiriting and depressing experience this must be for those who have to pass this vulgar ugliness every day.
The obscene scene also reminded us of the Philip Larkin poem ‘Sunny Prestatyn’ which presents a bleak picture of the harsh realities juxtaposed with the false promises of glossy advertising. Just don’t expect to see this picture reproduced in Wirral View or in a wraparound advertising feature paid for by Wirral Council.
Ive just heard Dance Away and Frank have opened a new office near Holt Hill. Any ideas what it looks like?
Maybe they’ll be busily-involved in schemes for school leavers?
G’day Leaky
Don’t you just love purdah.
The only time of the year that “Philly “FUCKING” Liar” is not doing what he does best.

James, it’s odd but every time I see your name, this bloody BOOMERANG just seems to come flying by….
‘We have given them almost six years to own up and say it was all wrong, they’ve lied, cheated, hidden stuff, obfuscated and told bare faced lied.’
(The Aussie, on the the Wirralbiz/Council scandal)
Ha ha…
More four letter words spring to mind here…
G’day Leaks
I have been leaving comment on the picture above of the outhouse to others like “Interested”.
There is already a plaque on the “Philly “FUCKING” Liar” and “Ankles” Foulkes” Commemorative Dunny down the North End.
“Phil the Very Very Very Very Slimy, Elusive, Lying and Deluded Dill” wouldn’t allow it in his Hoylake.
Ooroo
James
The three remaining useless stumps are Davies the Turd, Williamson and of course “The Pretend Friend”.
Luv ya Lordy XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
The three tree stumps…I wonder what they will be singing? Will they be popular on an International level?
Perhaps they will be opening at the World Cup?
‘
They’re going back to their roots and branching out to become a pop up stump hub.
G’day Leaky
Didn’t you get any pf the photos of “Philly” and “Ankles” opening the Dunny?
The one above with their names emblazoned.
If there was no free pies I don’t suppose “Ankles” could make it.
And “Philly” was probably watching their favourite team going to another Champions League Final that don’t need a sinking football pitch paid for by the taxpayer.
Ooroo
James
If only “Philly “FUCKING” Liar’s Uncle Joe had got the Commonwealth Games we would have Everpeel building Utopia…….
Not Europa you silly boy.
Luv ya anyway Leaksvlle XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
When they have built and sunk their pitch there will be no evidence.
Losers!
