Skidder Shorts N0. 24 - It's that "Sadim" - Effect Again!

Darren "The Turdmeister" Cooper has another nickname locally - "Sadim". This is "Midas" in reverse since everything he touches turns to shit rather than gold.

In a particularly spectacular example of the "Sadim"- effect Cooper took to Twitter yesterday to big-up the New Square Shopping Centre even though the High Street and other areas of central West Brom are a disaster-zone. He picked up a story from the untrustworthy Express and Star that surprise, surprise there had been quite a lot of shoppers about at, er, Christmas (which, in turn, ignored the fact that Tesco are also about to put out another very grim trading statement). The inane Cooper hailed "more good news for Sandwell in a difficult trading environment".

The curse of "Sadim" has immediately struck today with the announcement that Bank, the occupants of, er, Unit SU3, New Square, West Bromwich has collapsed and called in the administrators!

The man with the "Sadim" touch....

Oh, and by the way, a caller this morning informed me that a prominent figure in the Sandwell Muslim community has been putting it about that the police fraud investigation into Sandwell Council is over. I can quite categorically tell you that it is NOT. The police are also anxious to hear from anyone who has information about possible wrongdoing at SMBC via 0121 251 2175 - DS Wayne Haynes and his Team.
