Controversial blog Liverpool Evil Cabal closes with little explanation

August 14, 2006

The controversial blog Liverpool Evil Cabal was taken down on the 13th of August, and was replaced by the following message:

"This blog is temporarily unavailable but the fight goes on! You can leave any contributions or goodwill messages by emailing me through my profile... Thanks for now citizens!"

The blog had revealed the questionable practices of Enterprise Liverpool and Liverpool Direct, some of which was related to harrassment of staff. The blog had recently revealed that the Amateur Boxing Association website http://www.abae.org.uk/ was hosted and designed by Liverpool City Council. The following source code on the page confirms this:

<meta name="Copyright" content="Amateur Boxing Association of England Limited">

<meta name="DC.Coverage" lang="eng" content="England, UK; United Kingdom">

<meta name="DC.Creator" content="Liverpool Direct Limited">

<meta name="DC.Format" content="text/html">

<meta name="DC.Language" scheme="ISO 639-2/T" content="eng">

<meta name="DC.Publisher" content="Liverpool Direct Web Development Team, Premier Court, Liverpool Merseyside, L3 2AA">

<meta name="DC.Rights.Copyright" content="Amateur Boxing Association of England Limited - info@abae.org.uk - http://www.abae.org.uk/terms/index.asp">

This is extremely worrying as the Treasurer of the ABA is amongst the highest ranking employees of Liverpool City Council.

The BBC in Manchester, which had been criticised by the blog, has been trumpeting the closure of the Web Site which they have branded "Anti-Council".
