You've been watching way to many "gangster" films...

I'm in for £50M by the time it's complete, additional dredging etc all done.

ETA. And we're also paying to tart up Heysham facilities now as posted previously.

They should have factored in that Liverpool is one if the most corrupt cities in the UK. So £20m of the total cost will likely just be skim off to high level drug dealers and their bent development companies to get it done. 

Indeed.  What about our high level drug dealers and their bent development companies?  Why aren't they involved?

Actually given that the main purpose of Liverpool sailings appears to be the importation of scally-encased cocaine, you'd have thought that the least the Scousers could do was to pay for it themselves.

It’s common knowledge how most Liverpool property development has been funded in the last 15 years. 

If drugs have managed to fund all that Liverpool development I wonder what Douglas' excuse is then...? :lol:

ETA. Thinking on, if that's the case it's probably Douglas that's funded half of Liverpool's property overhaul

To be fair the whole thing is a passenger vanity project to ensure the good people of the Island can go to the footy and get dropped off in the middle of Liverpool for shopping. Little or no freight will be going through this port.

To be fair to the Govt if they hadn't done this and people couldn't shop or go to the footy there would have been public uproar.

It's a case of damned if you do damned if you don't.

I don't even think that is true there would be a public uproar nowadays.  There hasn't been much fuss about the lack of Liverpool/Birkenhead sailings this winter.  If you can afford a match ticket or to go shopping, you can certainly afford easyJet and maybe a night's stay.  As with much of the government's dealing with travel and tourism issues, it's based on assuming that people want what they wanted decades ago - and all that is needed is to keep on replicating what was done (or they think was done) in the past.
