FORMER city council leader Cllr Mike Storey has been found guilty of a breach of the members’ code of conduct by the Standards Board for England.
He was found to have breached the code by divulging confidential information about the ill health of former Culture Company boss Jason Harborow.
It followed a meeting on November 18, 2007, between Cllr Storey, current leader Cllr Warren Bradley and former events manager Lee Forde in which it was alleged there had been a conspiracy to oust Mr Harborow from his job.

Jason Harborow calls on Cllr Mike Storey to resign

Jason Harborow (158)
FORMER Culture Company boss Jason Harborow today called on Cllr Mike Storey to step down.
The Standards Board for England found the ex-council leader guilty of breaching the Members Code of Conduct by disclosing information about Mr Harborow’s ill health, but is taking no action against him.
However Mr Harborow said in order to avoid risking Liverpool’s political reputation any further, he should step down both as deputy lord mayor of the city and a councillor.
He also said he would challenge the board’s handling of the investigation.
Although Mr Harborow welcomed its guilty verdict, he said he was unhappy that the Board accepted that he had received an apology without checking.
Mr Harborow claims all he actually received by way of apology was a copy of a letter Cllr Storey had written to the chief executive Colin Hilton explaining the matter.
He said: “I used to sit next to Mike at the executive board every Friday morning. He knew how upset I was about it at the time, and he never mentioned it to me from that day on.
“I’m going to take this up with the Standards Board. I want this to be put behind us, I’m pleased they found him guilty and I’m not bothered about whether they take any action but it’s wrong to say he apologised when he did not.
“They never asked me whether he apologised or not.”
Mr Harborow, who earned £150,000 a year as culture boss, left the council after details of his health were made public.
He said: “I accept that certain things are open to scrutiny, but because of the nature of my illness we decided we would not share it with our six-year-old or my parents.
“The Capital of Culture has been a great success, but we need to move away from squabbles that damage the city.
“Just because they’ve said no action should be taken it does not mean he should carry on in public life.
“A copied letter is not an apology”.
Cllr Storey has said that he will not resign from his role as a councillor or deputy lord mayor, and maintains he did not leak information.
All the "people", all the "human beings" on this blog are -because of their actions - SCUM. This much is FACT. Like the residue on your toilet bowl they will not remove themselves (because they are nice and happy and warm and well-paid by YOU).
They are laughing sinisterly at us all.
They have chosen their side in this WAR that the State has declared on us and our families, on our security and our trust.
We MUST unite and DEFEND ourselves accordingly. This corrupt system relies heavily upon the fragmentation and division of the People. The best way to combat these crimes against us is to unite -by that we mean talking to your friends, contacts, colleagues, and acquaintances. By that we mean REFUSING this corrupt system of "democracy" and instead implementing REAL democracy by voting for parties that are outside of the INCESTUOUS cartel of Labour-Liberal-Conservative, all of whom EVIDENTLY seek to do YOU AND YOUR FAMILY HARM.
We, the People, are aligned together in this FIGHT. Either we fight back like a GLORIOUS people oppressed, or we suffer and give up LIKE PATHETIC COWARDS.
THAT IS YOUR CALL. Are you going to get pissed and forget all about the trouble? Are you going to envelope yourself and ignore the CRIMES against us? Or are YOU going to FIGHT BACK and do all in your power to secure our future and, more importantly, THE FUTURE OF YOU AND YOUR FAMILY?
This blog is quite evidently not here for the purpose of self-fulfilment, or some form of self-gratification. What have we to gain (or lose) from this venture?
The only thing we have to gain is the welfare and future of our people -WITHOUT THE SELF-SERVING SCUM INTERFERING IN THEIR LIVES. Our aim is simply to live without the PAEDOPHILES, and VIOLENT BEASTS that the government EVIDENTLY consist of.
FIGHT BACK OR SUFFER YOUR FATE. We have done all in our power to help you.
