For the benefit of new readers Labour Sandwell Council has tried to destroy me and this blog for many years. In the latter part of 2017 I published material which was the catalyst for the eventual defenestration of the vicious Labour "leader" Steve "Squealing" Eling. His pusillanimous elected colleagues circled the wagons around this tyrant despite the evidence against him and he clung on to the leadership "kicking and screaming" for several months aided and abetted by grovelling members of the deeply flawed paid service including Jan Britton (the now disgraced former Chief Executive), Darren Carter (the now-suspended s.151 Officer - possibly on his way out if recent rumours are correct) and the highly controversial Monitoring Officer, Surjit Tour (who has been active in subverting the complaints system against elected members - see posts passim and legal notice below).
Eling and his puppets lashed out at me as he clung onto office by his finger tips but he was eventually suspended by the Labour Party itself. Even then he refused to go until his colleagues reluctantly passed him the pearl-handled revolver.
For the many years this blog has shone light into the corrupt corners of this bent organisation the elected members have kept up a constant refrain that my many exclusives have been "all lies" without ever putting up any sort of rebuttal. But The Squealer knew I had severely wounded him politically.
The bent paid service are refusing to say (a) when the secret fund was set up, (b) who the s.151 Officer was and (c) who the Cabinet Member for Resources was who signed off the £300k expenditure.
There are proper procedures for expenditure in a "normal" Council ie. one not run [sic] by the hapless Jan Britton. It is highly likely the s.151 (Finance) Officer was the grovelling rimmer Carter and, whilst we do not know the date this sick arrangement was made, it is highly unlikely that he had the power, "delegated authority", to authorise a secret fund of this size. Now Eling himself retained the position of Cabinet Member for Resources for at least some of the time he was Leader but it is currently unclear whether he himself approved this fund as part of his personal vendetta against me.
It is highly likely that this all happened on his watch since, as we shall see, there is reference to Howard Kennedy Solicitors and I know that Britton's bent paid service used them to try and subvert a subject access request from me in early 2018. As above, the corrupt Council is currently refusing to provide details. (I am writing to the three local Conservative MP's since they MUST demand an inquiry here and the heads of anyone involved still within the organisation).
Eling was replaced temporarily by the weak as p*ss Labour Cllr Steve "Luvvie" Trow and he too has questions to answer about all this.
Sandwell itself has a large and expensive legal department under the highly-paid and equally highly controversial Tour. the current Law Society website says they employ a stonking 21 solictors but they are seemingly useless as external lawyers are constantly instructed to do much of their work - at great expense to us taxpayers. David Stevens, the new Chief Executive who was promoted without any sort of proper competitive process, will not say at present how much time and public money this lot spent on this vendetta.
Surjit Tour himself wrote to me (the very day James Morris MP raised the corruption at Sandwell Council in the House of Commons) saying he and the Council were out to get me and that external lawyers were also being appointed to shaft me. As it was this dirt-poor deprived Borough spent the following vat-exclusive external sums of OUR money on top of their own resources:
QC - £10,882.00
Other barristers: £9,498.50
Howard Kennedy, Solicitors (a vey posh London outfit): £13,756.00
Bevan Brittan, Solicitors: £15,857.00
So on top of their own solicitors they spent another £49,993.50 ex vat on external lawyers!
(This info from David Stevens may not be complete since Surjit Tour took an external firm with him to a meeting with the equally corrupt West Midlands Police chaired by an Assistant Chief Constable no less and their fees are not shown.)
Ask yourselves why I am feared by these Labour sh*tbags so that they will look to spend £300k of OUR money to hide the truth? And keep reading THE SKIDDER for the truth the local mainstream media won't tell you!
It is curious that Cllr Yvonne Davies claimed she was going to root out corruption in her time as Leader but never said a dicky bird about this heap of sh*t! And you can see that David Stevens is carrying on the "traditions" of Jan Britton by STILL trying to keep as much of this scandal secret:
