Mahboob Hussain
Hilarious scenes, regrettably not caught on camera, as he arrived early and caught me on the hop. The great man came in alone and declined to answer my questions whether it is true - as many callers have told me - that his son, Azeem, has recently bought into three more local taxi firms: Platinum Cars, National & Tipton and County Cars (the latter has contracts with SMBC and the word is that the nominal ownership will remain opaque for the present time). Alas we must assume this is all untrue as Hussain would not comment.
I also asked the erstwhile "real" leader whether his son was still employed by the Council whilst pursuing his property development and other "businesses" to which he replied, "I don't know"! Looks like the old amnesia troubling him again, eh readers?
But the comedic element came in because Hussain had no security pass to get through to the Council chamber. Whether he had forgotten his or, let us hope, had it taken off him I cannot say but the former Capo dei Capi had to resort to going and ringing the bell to get "security" let him through!
"My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings;
Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair!

However.....the meeting started at 6pm but Hussain flounced out at 6.26 - an hour before the end of the meeting. Maybe not being able to get his way now with his uber-thick "comrades" is beginning to rankle.... And we all know what happened with Ozy!
Just in passing, there appears to be activity on another Hussain family project next door to Oldbury Social Club:
Absentees
Quite why Sadwell folk need 72 mostly low-calibre people to represent them (especially now there is an extra tier of government on top with the new West Midlands Combined Authority) is beyond me. I hazard to mention individuals in case illness is involved but it is noteworthy that there have been three full council meetings since the May elections and Cllrs Ann Jaron and Joyce Underhill have missed ALL THREE! (There are only 8 for the full year to 16/05/17. If they are not ill perhaps this pair can send refund cheques for their expenses to the Kremlin?)
Curiously, a Cabinet Member [sic] Paul Moore has missed two of the three but then he works for the serial shagger and poseur MP for West Brom and maybe he is constantly at Lazy Tom's beck and call.....? Not much of an example to the drones, however, if the leaders [sic] can't be arsed.....
Ahmed's missus - only elected in May - has missed her first Council meeting......
A challenge to "Socialist Landlord" - Cllr John Edwards:
Jedward took time off from counting his rent money to parade his socialist credentials at the full Council meeting "lol". The fanatical Corbynista and supporter of the Yew Tree's most notorious benefits claimant, Mr Sniffpiss, told me (and this is on Persicope) that I used this blog to "tell lies". So OK John - here is the challenge! If you can find a "lie" anywhere in this blog within 14 days of today's publication I will acknowledge that here and also buy you a couple of pints in the Sadwell venue of your choosing. The clock is ticking.......
No Sympathy For The Devils?
It is hard to cry into one's beer at the plight of Sadwell Council employees when most of the lily-livered cowards have known exactly what has been going on under the Cooper/Britton regime but have get their gobs firmly shut. I salute the brave few who have had the guts to speak out. Now many of them have been repaid for their silence with swingeing parking charges and are having a whine about it - especially as it seems Councillors will continue to enjoy free parking! Poor diddums...
By the way - the senior figure in housing nearing retirement who is said to be "bricking it" at what might come out soon, get some new pants - we are on the case!
ICESTINK - VICTORY AT LAST!
I don't often say this so screenshot this one, congratulations to Steve Eling, Paul Moore and the rest of the Cabinet for finally seeing sense and scrapping Cooper's bent ice rink deal. The Skidder has, unlike the Wolverhampton c*ck-suckers aka "the Express & Star", for example, campaigned for two years against this fraudulent fix. Steve Eling was in on the original disastrous Cabinet decision but has had the balls to change tack - admittedly in the face of a tsunami of reasons to ditch Dickhead Daz's crazed scheme. The ex-Smethwick scumbag started lying about this project right from the off as chronicled here. He was envious of those with money and maybe he hoped it would provide his "pension" in some way? I urged the Council to contact other councils such as the Isle of Wight and Cardiff before committing to anything and I am also indebted to a large number of people in the ice skating world who took the trouble to contact me about "Planet Ice" and its owner and the seemingly less that satisfactory way some of their facilities are run.[Special thanks to one correspondent in particular]. Only this week, he has been courting controversy with his Basingstoke operation:

If only a big newspaper would check things out....
Anyway - Sandwell has had a lucky escape.......
Austerity
Sandwell Labour finally seem to be facing up to the real world. I don't know if it was true that Cooper was as fond of the weed as people say but at least his bizarre, fantastical view of the world is being replaced with harsh reality. Eling and Co are having to make some very unpalatable decisions - cutting subsidy to outward bound centres, potentially closing adult care homes etc etc. I do not envy them their incredibly difficult job after years of local Labour living high on the hog at our expense. They must continue to clamp down on the corruption, cronyism and incompetence of the Cooper/Britton era and cut out the vanity projects. It is difficult to say whether Eling will steady the ship at present or whether his apparent calm sense and ability is a flattering view compared against the gormlessness of his "comrades" and the inanity of his thick bully-boy predeccessor. If they can get a grip and clear out the failed management I wish them well in a Herculean task.
The "Sadim" Effect....
One of this blog's nicknames for dismal Daz was "Sadim" - a reverse of "Midas" since everything he touched turned to sh*t. One of his love affairs (and I am not talking about his "ladies" now) was with arch-capitalist firm Interserve Plc. For most of the period in question, Interserve was chaired by arch-Thatcherite Norman Blackwell but the class dunce never could spell "Thatcherite" on his vicious and abusive Twitter account! Interserve had Sandwell Labour's pants down good and proper with the later phase of the ruinously expensive "Building Schools for the Future" for which the ordinary folk of Sadders will be paying for many, many, years to come. Nevertheless, Cooper, Hussain and Britton then doled them out the multi-million pound bent contract to destroy The Public WITHOUT PUTTING IT OUT TO TENDER. But, like everyone else, Interserve should realise that dealing with these w*nkers is as toxic as swimming in the Rattlechain Lagoon and no-one escapes being sucked into Sadwell's own peculiar crock of (canine) shite. Thus Interserve's share price was at a year high of 648p but has catastrophically slumped to 291p today. Oh dear, oh dear.....
Register of Interests - More Hilarity!
Now that the useless and charmless Director of Governance "ROFLMAO" Neeraj Sharma has gone off to count our money from her generous pay-off, another of the failed management team, Melanie Dudley, is apparently now Monitoring Officer (a statutory role) until she also tries to cash-out at our expense. Anyhow, her appointment has led to a veritable flood of amended declarations by the dismal drones during July which you can access via the SMBC website. One particularly weird entry did catch my eye, however, from newbie Cllr Caroline White:
Again, ROFLMAO.....
