A man who waved a flick knife when bar staff wouldn't give him his phone back was spared jail.

Liam Wilding - who has his own bar in West Kirby - went on a night out with colleagues in Concert Square.

The 28-year-said he forgot he was carrying a knife in an inside coat pocket until he bought drinks at McCooley's.

After leaving the bar, Wilding, of West Vale, Neston, then realised he'd left his mobile phone behind.

But when told he'd have to return the next morning to collect it, bar worker George Finch said Wilding shouted at him, before producing the blade.

It is also an offence to keep or own a flick knife, butterfly knife or stiletto, one law for one, certainly after that poor little girl was brutally stabbed to death, the law is out of touch, why was he carrying it? allegedly he had used it to pry open a fuse box earlier in the day, really! regardless of whether he threatened the bar staff it was meant to intimidate.

Apparently from a recent local case, stabbing someone 12 times (including a large neck wound) is not attempted murder.

With six stabbings in ten days in Merseyside it is becoming clearer that the system is intentionally not meant to work.

Yeah the law in the country is a joke, of course when an MP gets stabbed they all want bodyguards, and as the sentence under review i won't comment on the poor little lad!
