Just Some of My "Lies" - IN PICTURES!

I am receiving a stream of phone calls concerning the ongoing investigations at Sandwell Council. The police fraud team investigation IS continuing. That is all I can tell you about that and, once, again, the direct contact number is set out below for people with information to be able to speak with the police direct and, more importantly, in confidence.

(Please note that by prior arrangement ONLY The Skidder is now able to offer a reward for information leading to the identity of the anonymous persons trying to silence this blog and destroy the reputation of Mrs Skidder (who is not connected to it). Terms and conditions apply as they say... Alternatively, you can also speak to the Police using the number below).

Of course, the other "investigation" set up by Cooper and Labour is a sham. Just have a look at this from the brilliant Private Eye magazine about Tower Hamlets and see if anything seems familiar.......

Please buy Private Eye & read "Rotten Boroughs" - always excellent!


Of course, Kim Jong-Cooper alleged that he was going to set up an "independent" enquiry into certain events at Sandwell but did no such thing. He appointed the Council's own auditors who have already received substantial fees for doing the books and telling us that everything is actually hunky dory. How much more of our money they will be paid for "the independent investigation" remains to be seen. Great value for the taxpayer, I am sure.

Whatever the investigations JUST OPEN YOUR EYES! And your mouths - there is an election coming and so ask the sleazy Labour candidates about the matters raised in this post and my other blogs!

Of course, The Turdmeister keeps parroting that my blog is all LIES (though he never actually attempts to back this smear up). Well let's take a look at just a few matters shall we Cooper? Didn't ALL these things happen whilst you were the so-called "leader"?

This is information from Cooper's own Council proving Eling lied to the press about the legal costs in the Casino cock-up. So are the staff lying then Cooper? Maybe they are - see below.....

The truth WILL out.....

What about this Turdmeister?

The Rouf mansion nears completion.... SMBC determined to complete transaction asap!

Or this? The sale of large building plot to a "property developer" Sandwell Council employee (!) who is also the Labour Deputy Leader's son. Is the Land Registry telling lies then Turdy? And who did the conveyancing - was it Sharma's legal department? Did they not ask any questions or do they routinely convey publicly-owned land to Council employees? Which members of staff authorised and handled this? Were Jan Britton and Sharma aware of these transactions before they were completed?

This is only a small part of the property empire an employee finds time to run.

On the same subject, are Her Majesty's Land Registry lying again?

One busy chap.....


But apparently unknown at The Kremlin as this deal WAS done in-house:

And what about the father? Are Companies House also telling "lies" Cooper?

Five Star Taxis Annual Return 09/10/13

Hussain says "everyone" knew about 5 Star so did Cooper, Eling, Moore, Ian Jones, Hackett, Crompton, Y. Davies, Britton, Dudley, Kellas, Garratt and Sharma etc etc know about this? Bit strange if they did since Hussain himself had, er, "forgotten"! Why do SMBC documents again LIE saying 5 Star is based in Sandwell when it is not?

Lest we forget..... isn't it odd that you wait ages for one disused shitter to come on the market and then three come along together? (Except they didn't "come on the market" did they Turdy because Sandwell Labour sold them secretly!) Oh dear, it looks like that naughty Land Registry are lying again....

Not one.....

Not two (or even number two)....

But Three! It's a bloody Shambles!

I can't really start about the bent Public deal or we will be here all day but here's another two damning documents eh Cooper?

"Fundamental Review [sic]


6.9 In September 2012 Sandwell College approached the Council and
initiated discussions concerning the conversion of The Public to a 6th
form centre. These discussions have continued. In May 2013 a risk led
options analysis of the college proposal was carried out looking at the
following options"

The above statement is a LIE in official SMBC documents.

Labour say specifically that Melanie Dudley was kept away from all negotiations on The Public as she was a Director of the Company that got the multi-million pound contract without it going out to tender. At least one member of her staff was, however, at the very first meeting - actually in August 2012 - and, in fact, initiated by Cllr Mahboob Hussain, not by the College.

These people signed the so-called "Fundamental Review" - including Melanie Dudley who was supposed to have "no knowledge of the deal". Either these people had been lied to about the above document or else they signed the document knowing it to be false and inaccurate. Does "the Trolling Turd" want to clear that one up for us:

Were these people lied to or not?

And finally.... The above-mentioned "options analysis" took place AFTER Labour had ALREADY announced closure of The Public and The College bent deal but just have a look at who attended this charade and took part in the actual making of the decision according to the document (see also my blog of 04/06/14 "Ashfords Solicitors - Part 1 - The Public, West Bromwich):

Liz Gibson, Ashfords

Ashfords, if you do not already know, are the "local" firm in, er, Exeter who handle a lot of Labour SMBC work for huge fees and even though Labour retain a massive legal department in Oldbury. Happily la Gibson from Exeter was able to agree that the decision about a building in West Bromwich that had already been made was the correct one and her firm were duly authorised to complete the transaction - for which they received just £43,230.40p excluding VAT!

Of course, we wonder whether KPMG will be so "robust" in their "impartial investigations" although there is at least one person delighted that taxpayers' property has been flogged to Hussain's son. Step forward The Turdmeister who tweeted about the weird "deals":

"Yes very happy that sales were legitimate - due process was followed".

So that's all right then. Vote Sandwell Labour!
