Nepotism in the heart of Bootle

Bootle For Socialism are hearing lots of reports out of Netherton and Orrell ward Bootle that the Dowd clan has 'sewn up' yet another council candidate selection.

Once again a 'trusted follower' of the Dowd has been drop comfortably and uncontested into safe council seat.

Reports received at [email protected] from members of Netherton and Orrell BLP claim they hadn't been informed of the selection meeting date. Many members claiming they only heard of the selection meeting after it had happened.

There was also an account that at the selection meeting the 'anointed' candidate was the only person to turn up to his own selection meeting.

This is in total contradiction of the party line of the 'Bootle mafia' as expressed in the most recent Netherton and Orrell BLP ward leaflet. In the aforementioned communiqué it is claimed the 'anointed' candidate had received overwhelming support from the resident Labour members in the ward, unless those members were invisible the accounts we have received of the selection process say otherwise.

So who is the special one that has found themself in the good graces of the 'Bootle Mafia'? The anointed candidate is Tom Spring, who happens to work with councillor Marion Atkinson nee Dowd in Merseytravel (pictured below giving overwhelming support to each other).

So it's clear why Mr Spring had been parachuted in as the candidate for netherton and Orrell, given his close ties to the Dowd clan. Yet another case of nepotism from the 'Bootle Mafia'!

Everyone here at Bootle for Socialism will be keeping a close eye on the new candidate for Netherton and Orrell as we predict he'll have a meteoric rise within Sefton's local government once elected.
