Liverpool council was let down by other Labour councils at the last minute. They were all going to refuse to set a budget. The others , such as Manchester, shit out. The 47 initially got real gains from the government and this meant that Thatcher wasn’t going to accept them in the future. They came after them big style. The fines were big and targeted at the individual so they were potentially ruined. Luckily crowd funding helped them. The media and the Labour Party under Kinnock all pedal a load of false narratives and lies about them. People believe them. Sad really.
