Controversial blog Liverpool Evil Cabal closes
{{date|August 14, 2006}}

The controversial blog ''Liverpool Evil Cabal'' which had made serious allegations concerning [[w:Liverpool City Council|Liverpool City Council]] and other organisations, is reportedly offline as off August 13th 2006

The site currently displays:
<blockquote>
''This blog is temporarily unavailable but the fight goes on.''
</blockquote>

According to BBC News, Merseyside police have apparently been called in and are working with the [[w:Crown Prosecution Service|Crown Prosecution Service]]. As yet there has been no confirmation that the blog was acting in or had intended to act in a criminal manner. An earlier article in the ''Liverpool Echo'', had however suggested that some employees of Liverpool City Council felt postings on the blog may be defamatory, a civil rather than criminal matter.

Liverpool City Council, has so far declined to comment on the sites disappearance, although the site had been previously blocked from the council's IT systems.
