Liverpool man held after Colombia drug and firearms swoop

A LIVERPOOL man has been arrested in South America as part of an investigation into the supply of class A drugs and firearms.

The National Crime Agency (NCA) has confirmed that 41-year-old Liam O'Brien, formerly of Leyfield Road in West Derby, was one of two British men arrested in Colombia.

O’Brien and Robert Taylor, 54 and of Exeter Road in Wallsend, were arrested at a property in Medellin, the Colombia’s second-largest city commonly known for being a stronghold for narco-terrorist Pablo Escobar, on Wednesday.

The men remain in custody and extradition proceedings will soon commence.

O'Brien is suspected of conspiracy to supply cocaine, heroin, MDMA and cannabis, conspiracy to possess firearms with intent to endanger life, conspiracy to transfer a prohibited weapon as well as money laundering and perverting the course of justice.

Sing a song of Liverpool in my choral

THE new Alan Bennett film, The Choral, was released for Remembrance Sunday. Don't believe the lukewarm reviews - this is warm, entertaining and poignant. It features music from 1916 and got me thinking of the pretty nurse selling poppies in Penny Lane. Why doesn't the city have a choral that only performs Liverpool songs?
