Scarrott Axed - and Names Named!

Mahboob Hussain not only enjoys the protection of West Midlands Police (!!!!) but also (STILL) has a large number of staff at Jan Britton's bent Sandwell Council in his thrall. Indeed, some of his relatives are said to be employees there.

Besides a large number of junior staff doing his bidding he also had very close relationships with the Smethwick Scumbag, Darren Cooper, on the political side (who said that Hussain paid for his house extension) and with Jan Britton, Melanie Dudley, Nick Bubalo and Adrian Scarrott in the (highly-) "paid service". (Bubalo will feature in a post of his own shortly as he was personally involved in all the bent deals disclosed to date though he tried to distance himself from his friend when interviewed by the incredibly naive Mark Greenburgh, author of the incendiary "Wragge Report" - even going so far as to claim that he had never met nor spoken to Hussain's son in the several years that Azeem Hafeez worked in, er, his department!)

Hussain was "Mr Sandwell Homes" for a number of years when Scarrott was nominally "in charge" there. Not only did Jan Britton permit Hussain 24/7 access to council offices (!) but, as we now know, caused - or at least permitted - Hussain to bully Council staff in their workplace  (seemingly with the trade unions also turning a Nelsonian blind-eye as they too are also the lickspittle lackeys of "Sandwell Labour").

We are told that Hussain took a very active interest in the subject of the allocation of council houses and seems to have faced no barrier from Scarrott in having access to confidential SMBC documents. (Incidentally, the "Wragge Report" made no mention of the allocations of council houses to Councillors Zahoor Ahmed, Mohammad Rouf and Steven Andrews).

We have seen in this blog how the family of the elderly occupant of a four-bedroomed SMBC house in Judge Close, Oldbury received two visits from Hussain suggesting she might want to move to a smaller property. When she died, Hussain's daughter moved in - even though, as I repeatedly pointed out, Jan Britton's staff knew she and her husband OWN a house just down the road! THEY STILL DO! Here is the Land Registry record (a document of public record) TODAY - and take a look who one of the lenders is!!!!

There is no mention of any of this in the pathetic "Wragge Report".

In the incestuous world of Sandwell Labour and its rotten council Scarrott had "A5" and "A6" in his department even though they were husband and wife and one was supposed to be "deciding" decisions of the other. The are called "A5 etc" in the Wragge Report where their names are redacted but they are Norman and Michelle Fletcher. Were THEY prepared to do Hussain's bidding as well? Perhaps we shall know in the fullness of time but regular readers will remember my recent post where I reported that a very senior person at SMBC allegedly used a senior manager to coach his son prior to a SMBC interview. I said this in a letter to new Leader, Steve Eling:

I have no way of knowing whether this allegation is true and it would not really be appropriate in these circumstances to contact employees direct (although I reserve all rights in that regard). The allegation is that xxxxxxxxxxxxx ordered an employee, xxxxxxxxxxxx, to "school" his son prior to an SMBC interview. The son, who I think may be xxxxxxxxxxxxx, was then successful at interview although xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.

The alleged persons involved here are Adrian Scarrott whose son did duly get a job with SMBC (although he has now left). The senior manager who was allegedly prepared to do Scarrott's bidding was Norman Fletcher. As ever, one can only assume that joke "Chief Executive", Jan Britton, turned a blind eye or was asleep at the wheel yet again..... If all this is true (and I am awaiting a response from Cllr Eling who was investigating the matter) then clearly Norm was not averse to doing just as he was told....

We know that Scarrott was involved in writing a letter to support the bent bid by Wednesbury Celebrates [sic] to shaft Sport England - the result being a £35k a year job for three years for the partner of Cllrs Ian and Olwen Jones's son (more very soon). Cllr Olwen and Cllr Elaine Costigan then put in a bid for £5k to SMBC and then THEY decided themselves it should be approved at an un-minuted Town Forum meeting (Steve Eling - this is SURELY a matter for them to answer for before the Standards Committee at the very least?) Scarrott then personally authorised the payment out by SMBC of the £5,000 even though, at that time, Wednesbury Celebrates owed us taxpayers a huge sum of money! At the very LEAST this was gross negligence and has probably led to further loss to us taxpayers.

But Scarrott has had his day. Presumably he will leave with a huge wad of our cash and a gagging order. One mystery endures though - is Scarrott the "phantom golfer?"

Again, we have seen many times in this blog that not only are West Midlands Police protecting Hussain but the Council too. In a post from last October, I referred again to the inappropriate level of contact between senior officers of WMP and the sleazy "socialists":

http://thesandwellskidder.blogspot.co.uk/2015/10/wmp-admit-they-did-nothing-on-smbc.html

I stated that a high-ranking Sandwell Police officer tweeted on 2nd April, 2015:

"Great day off today with COLLEAGUE [my emphasis] @sandwellcouncil golf, spa, lunch and...relax".

I can now name that high-ranking officer as Sandwell's Superintendent Paul Betts. I contacted him but he refused to say who his "colleague" was. But I am told that Scarrott is a keen golfer and he has at least managed to score one in the hole - ooops sorry, a hole in one - with a senior female WMP officer also keen on golfing. No doubt Scarrott will use the customary huge bung of our cash to spend more time on this swing and huddled with his new beloved in a Sutton Coldfield hostelry.....

But this WMP situation is just getting worse and worse and, sooner or later, they MUST take some action! And the pathetic, grovelling cowards who work at SMBC and won't speak out about what they know better watch out! The Skidder is after you but if I don't get you Hurricane Eling probably will! Satchwell, Dudley, Sharma and now Scarrott have been blown away and are not there to protect you anymore so consider your positions. Cut a deal! And the word is that even the likes of Lazy Tom have had enough of Hussain so don't bank on him being your guardian angel - ROFLMAO - for too much longer!

And finally:

I know I bang on about this regularly but it is important. Cooper and Hussain have always claimed that Sandwell College approached them to shaft The Public and this was duly reported as the truth in the so-called "Fundamental Review" document presented to the Cabinet and Councillors whereas it was a blatant lie. Now we know that Dickhead Daz was a pathological liar and that poor old Mahboob has his much celebrated amnesia where he unfortunately forgot to mention his involvement in a firm which won a taxi contract with SMBC etc etc but they were happy to let this massive porkie pass as the truth.

It is absolutely inconceivable that the signatories to the document - including Bubalo and Scarrott - did not know when they signed the document that it was false but lets just give them the benefit of the doubt shall we readers? Perhaps Hussain lied to them about it and they just accepted his word?

The problem is that Jan Britton has taken no steps whatsoever to rectify the record and neither has he accepted that the document is, in fact, false - even though he was (incredibly) put on the Board of Governors at Sandwell College by the thuggish Cooper as part of the bent Public deal and they publicly state that SMBC are definitely fibbing!!!!

Cllr Eling does seem to have a blind spot when it comes to groveller Britton who presided over the fraud, incompetence and corruption of the Darren Cooper years and so I have been forced to put in a Freedom of Information request to see just what Britton says IS the truth. He will, no doubt, take soundings from Hussain as to why he sat in on Council meetings when the Review was discussed without seeking to rectify the false record when he was a direct participant in the events? I have also asked "The Hurricane" to investigate whether he should take disciplinary action against Britton and/or the signatories (or those that are left) in respect of their failures in approving the false document or to amend it thereafter. The FOI request is set out below and the reply should be interesting!!!!

FOI Request:

It is a shame that I am having to resort to the FOIA on this particular subject but SMBC have totally ignored my numerous requests for clarification on this particular subject and have made no attempt whatsoever to rectify what is a lie in official Council records. This relates to the genesis of the deal to destroy The Public and it occurs to me that SMBC have never disclosed the facts despite my prompting over a considerable period of time.

I am copying in Cllr Eling in respect of this request since he may feel the need to take some form of disciplinary action concerning the determination of the Chief Executive and senior directors of the Council to mislead elected members and The Public and/or to fail to rectify the record when it became obvious that it was false.

I refer to the first line of Paragraph 6.9 of the so-called "Fundamental Review" Document in respect of The Public as presented to The Cabinet on 16th October, 2013:

"In September 2012 Sandwell College approached the Council and initiated discussions concerning the conversion of The Public to a 6th form centre."

Sandwell College say that this is fundamentally untrue in all respects including the date. They say that this project was initiated by Cllr Hussain telephoning the College and that a meeting had already taken place at your own offices on 15th August, 2012 as organised by Cllr Hussain.

IF you now accept that Paragraph 6.9 of the Fundamental Review was a lie please:

1   Disclose all documents of whatsoever nature arising in respect of the decision by SMBC to make an approach to the College including communications with Messrs Ashfords and other third parties;

2   Disclose the precise date of Cllr Hussain's telephone call to the College initiating the process and disclose the telephone attendance note and/or any other documentation arising as a result of the said phone call;

3   Disclose all records and documents of whatsoever nature arising in respect of the project between the date of the said phone call and 15th August, 2012;

4   Disclose the attendance record, room location and minutes of the meeting held at Oldbury Council House of 15th December, 2012 and any other documents of whatsoever nature arising therefrom.

IF you still maintain that paragraph 6.9 of The Fundamental Review is true, please:

5   State the date, time, method and persons involved in the College's communication with SMBC and disclose any documents of whatsoever nature arising from the College's alleged communication.
