SMBC Slammed by Charity Commission

DUE TO AN ONGOING LEGAL DISPUTE A FACTUALLY ACCURATE DESCRIPTION OF DARREN COOPER HAS BEEN TEMPORARILY REDACTED.

Fresh from two hammerings by High Court judges, screwing-over the Arts Council by pilfering money from the joke "Sandwell Arts Festival" for Jim Cadman's private statue appeal and the shafting of Sport England in the Sport Wednesbury scandal, Sandwell Labour have now fallen foul of The Charity Commission.

Labour SMBC are the sole charitable trustee of Hadley Playing Fields and Recreation Ground but failed to submit annual returns and accounts to The Charity Commission over a number of years! The Commission was forced to take action against this serial offending and in a report dated 6th July, 2015 concluded:

"The charity’s trustee (Labour SMBC) was in default of its legal obligations to file proper accounting information with the commission. This was mismanagement and misconduct in the administration of the charity and a breach of its legal duties."

And to rub it in:

"The reasons the trustee gave for non-compliance were not a legitimate excuse."

Unfortunately this is what you get when you have a vicious, bullying dictatorship led by a xxxxx xxxxx [factually accurate description of Darren Cooper temporarily redacted] who continue to sack good people whilst retaining a rump of Labour party members and/or other assorted arse-lickers. Something the new "Greater Birmingham" Authority will have to get used to!

At least outside organisations and the courts are now beginning to suss Sandwell Labour out!
