Spiv Phil Halsall bends the taxpayers over and fucks them up the arse.

A council director of finance is leaving his job with a £500,000 'golden handshake', it was revealed today.

Phil Halsall, 50, who earns £180,000 a year on Liverpool Council, will be seconded to one of the city's joint venture partners, Enterprise plc, next month before retiring.

He will receive an extra five years' enhancement on his pension package, worth around £420,000, and a lump sum of £80,000.

It comes after the council was labelled the worst in the country in February because of the poor state of its finances, though Mr Halsall has always defended his own record.

**Of course, that is what they do. Like a certain leader who says he is "getting on with the job"...

Under the terms of the pay-off, around £420,000 will be added to Mr Halsall's pension pot and he will also be given an £80,000 lump sum.

The deal, which includes a gagging clause, precludes Mr Halsall or the council talking about its terms.

Current local government rules allow councils to 'uplift' an employee's pension if they are aged between 50 and 55.

It is understood the council would have been liable to uplift Mr Halsall's pension pot if he had been made redundant instead under the current management changes.

**Councils totally out of touch, deliver shit fucking services and the costs keep going up and up and up. Complain and attempt to hold back payment and the cunts get the bailiffs in or haul your sorry ass up before the justices to squeeze every fucking penny out of your arse.

Hell just look at the OAP's who have been jailed for non payment.

An quite what do we get, well payoffs like this. Whilst he is going to be living on a cushy index linked pumped up pension, paid for by the hard put upon taxpayers of Liverpool; whilst whole tracts of that fair city have some of the poorest run down estates in the UK.

Hell the council has been lambasted over its inability to do basic arithmetic and balance the books, yet they seem to regard upping this spiv's pay off whilst whole estates of poor folk can in real terms go fuck themselves.
