Halesowen News Article - Sandwell Fraud Investigation

I am not sure if all my readers have seen the very interesting Halesowen News article this week about the ongoing fraud investigation and so here is the link:

Given the totally craven attitude of the local media (particularly the Express and Star) to Sandwell Labour this is a breath of very fresh air!

There is a matter of concern. I have only recently discovered that the Council puts a notice out from time to time about all the items the crafty comrades want to deal with in secret in the private parts of their meetings where the public are excluded. (The "Sandwell Scrutineers" need to obtain and act on these notices as soon as they appear since it is absolutely ridiculous that Labour are trying to keep so much out of the public domain and there is a facility to object within a pretty tight time frame). The Halesowen News point out that Hussain has "temporarily" stood down from the Asset Management and Land Disposal Committee but it APPEARS (and I do not put it more strongly than that) the Cabinet is deciding what matters before that Committee should be kept secret and Hussain MAY be part of that decision-making process. Certainly his name is on the last notice. If that is correct then that is clearly highly undesirable.

Cooper and Hussain have allegedly been putting it about that the police investigation is over. You will also note the ludicrous comment from The Orifice of Oldbury (Chair - West Midlands Police and Crime Panel) in the article that the police are only investigating "systems". I have never known a single case of the police bringing charges against "a system".

Incidentally, this is not the story from officers of sleazy Sandwell who are refusing to answer certain Freedom of Information requests concerning the land deals because of the ongoing "police investigation"!!!!

The police investigation IS ongoing and DS Wayne Haynes and his team welcome further evidence via 0121 251 2175. (By the way, one of the Twitter troll accounts* which Darren Cooper is engaging with has been named "Wayne" in an obvious attempt to mock the police).

It is very important that any SMBC employees who have not already spoken to Wayne's team do so if they have information. They are guaranteed a confidential hearing if they phone the above number (but should not do so on an SMBC phone as they are being monitored). Incidentally, Jan Britton wrote to me the other day concerning a comment about the very strong anecdotal evidence I have received from a large number of people concerning the destruction/disappearance of files and the shredding of documents. He categorically denies that this has happened. All I can say is that the information that I have received on this subject has been passed to the Regional Fraud Team.

I think the moronic "Leader" would be very surprised if he knew the number of folk who have contacted me in confidence to say they have been in touch with the Regional Fraud Team (and even more so if he knew their identities!)

Let's clean up Sandwell (and I don't just mean the colossal mounds of canine excrement which so fixate "The Turdmeister")!

* The imbecilic Cooper is not only following but now actively engaging with SEVEN accounts he knows to be Twitter trolls (Twitter have taken a further two abusive accounts down). After the last Sandwell Labour Leader was outed as a thief it is difficult to think how anyone could diminish the office of "Leader" still further but dimwit Darren seems to be on a one-man mission (correction two-man - with his Unite the Union operator) to besmirch the reputation of the Borough and the local Labour Party. Here are screenshots from HIS Twitter account (remember once again that Cooper is also the Chair of the West Midlands Police and Crime Panel). In the case of the last account it has a sole follower - "Councillor Darren Cooper" and was following just three people one of whom was....yes, you guessed it....""Councillor Darren Cooper"!!!!
