Regular readers will recall that the late Smethwick Scumbag, Darren Cooper, tried every trick in the book to close down this blog. Of course, he attacked me constantly and even tried to have me arrested by his pals at WMP leading to me spending two hours in a police station (as a volunteer). He acted in concert with others (including, in all probability, some of Jan Britton's bent paid service at Sandwell Council) to have my Twitter account closed down. But as someone else wrote when he was still alive: "the vengefulness of this spite-filled character is legendary." And so he launched a vicious trolling campaign via Twitter in association with local Unite the Union Regional Organiser, Brian Rickers, and the self-proclaimed "mentally-ill" Andrew "Sniffpiss" Hipkiss of the Yew Tree Estate.
As we shall see in another post coming shortly, Cooper had "history" when it came to bullying women and so he could not resist also attacking my wife.
One of the problems with the delusional Dickhead Daz was that he actually thought he was clever and everyone else was thick. He and Unite the Union's Brian Rickers started tweeting nonsense to my wife's employers, a small arts charity in Birmingham. Incredibly they used their own Twitter accounts - see:
http://thesandwellskidder.blogspot.co.uk/2014/12/labour-leader-unite-officer-harass-arts.html
Cooper thought this would queer my wife's pitch but the charity and its trustees were aware that my wife had nothing to do with this blog and could obviously see through his pathetic game. But then Dazza, in association with Unite the Union also started trolling my wife and her employers through fake accounts. The charity and my wife complained to West Midlands Police but you can imagine what they did - or rather, didn't do - as this obviously involved a friend of the present Chief Constable.
My wife complained to SMBC and now disgraced head lawyer Neeraj Sharma batted the complaint away. My wife persisted and the matter was supposed to have been referred to unknown members of the Standards Committee - presumably Labour Councillors - who apparently decided that Cooper's @sandwellleader account (which he frequently accessed on his SMBC taxpayer-owned iphone) was purely personal and nothing to do with the Council! These anonymous heroes went on to unnecessarily opine that my wife somehow "deserved" the bullying anyway - presumably also holding the view that women who wear short skirts deserve to be raped.......
Other complainants about Cooper's bullying were also met with the claim that it was nothing to do with the Council but a purely personal affair! So that's alright then!

| Cooper's Brain |
Cooper couldn't write a letter himself so he decided to get help. I am not sure who actually wrote it but I do know that Jan Britton caused and/or permitted taxpayer-paid Sandwell Council staff to become involved (surely a dismissible offence?) The one person we do know know who was definitely involved was Cooper's secretary, Jane Perham. As we shall see, Jan Britton's staff involvement NEARLY had far reaching consequences......
Jan Britton caused and/or permitted his staff to forward letter one. Jane Perham sent it not to the Chair of the Trustees but to the open email address of the charity. I believe this was done deliberately in an effort to cause my wife maximum distress and several people within the organisation saw the contents which were not marked as being "private". Did Jan order that or, as with the years of fraud and corruption on his watch, did he have his head up his massive arse and allegedly miss everything that was really going on?
Students of Cooper's nasty thuggishness will recognise his pathetic modus operandi. The sh*thead lied - with the apparent permission of Jan Britton - that he had to write to the Chair of the Trustees because he had received "a number of letters" from Sandwell residents concerned about a small charity in Birmingham! Sound familiar ex-councillors Mick Davies and Jayne Wilkinson (who suffered the "anonymous letter" treatment from the bootboys)? The letter asked some daft questions about the organisation (all the information was already publicly available) before getting to the meat and starting to ask questions about my wife's employment and my volunteering activities with the charity. The charity replied in polite terms.
A few weeks went by and Jan Britton caused and/or permitted his staff - including Jane Perham again - to send a further letter. This time the gloves were off and Britton let a really vicious and libellous letter go. Once again the letter was deliberately sent to an open email address for maximum effect. Of course, the letter was highly libellous about me but that is water off a duck's back. But Cooper and Jan Britton's staff were highly defamatory about my wife - effectively saying, inter alia, that because she has the misfortune of being married to me she was unfit to do her job. The Chair of Trustees was effectively urged to terminate her employment.
My wife consulted lawyers and a letter before action was sent personally to Cooper at his Londonderry Lane address (the one where he frequently said Cllr Mahboob Hussain paid for the sizeable extension). But because Britton had foolishly or maliciously allowed SMBC staff to become involved in the libel the lawyers also directed a claim at SMBC - in other words he had deliberately, recklessly or negligently put taxpayers money at risk because his tongue was always between Cooper's buttocks (metaphorically speaking, m'lud).
Now the law (as my wife's solicitors quickly pointed out to SMBC) says that, save in certain circumstances, a council cannot fund the defence of a libel claim against a councillor - particularly in a case like this where the libel had nothing whatsoever to do with council business but just from the pure maliciousness of a particular "member". Accordingly, Cooper should have instructed his own solicitors and met the costs from his own resources. But why should he do that when Jan Britton would allow YOU the taxpayer to pay for him? And so it came to pass that us taxpayers laid on the might of Sandwell's legal department (and, possibly, external counsel) to defend the vicious woman-bullying thug as well as defending their own claim. Jan's a generous guy with your money folks!
For the sake of completeness, the legal case did not proceed for a strange reason. The Defamation Act 2013 changed the law in a significant way. Although my wife had been hideously libelled by Cooper and by Britton's bent paid service she now had to go on and show that she had suffered special damage. The fact was that her employers were shocked and horrified by Cooper's conduct but knew his spitted bile was false and malicious. Therefore, they treated my wife with all due consideration and sympathy as the unwitting victim of a complete c*nt. Had they disciplined or sacked her she would have suffered the requisite damage to maintain a claim but they replied appropriately to Cooper and continued to give her full support. Which is good but stopped any claim.
Incidentally, the cowardly sh*tbag Cooper did not have the balls to tackle the Chair of Trustees again but did continue to troll my wife and the charity via Twitter. In particular, he and his associates bombarded the charity with allegations that she was "sleeping around". Of course, all the trolling mysteriously stopped last Easter Sunday.......
(More on the police and WMPCP protection of the troll coming soon).
It is also noteworthy that a (different) senior Labour figure says that many of the massed ranks of the comrades at Sadwell were against Cooper's "engagement" with me which they thought was "disastrous" (for him not me). What a shame they once again cowered before the bully boy instead of speaking out but that's cowards for you....
We move on with the related story of Jan Britton's looting of taxpayer's resources as more information is now available about Dickhead Dazza's infamous visit to Steelhouse Lane Police Station in Birmingham where he was interviewed under caution about harassment.
Regular readers will know that the initial allegation - from a normally very reliable SMBC insider - was that even though this was another purely personal matter Jan Britton decided that the Smethwick Scumbag should not have to pay for his own solicitor (or make use of the free duty solicitor) but that the taxpayer would pick up the bill for him. The inside info was that Britton personally arranged that top solicitor Maria Price would secretly take a day's leave to hold his hand. Britton refused to comment when I put this to him.
But now another very highly-placed source has come forward and said that prior to the day itself only FOUR people knew of the police station visit - Cooper himself, Cllr Mahboob Hussain, Jan Britton and Maria Price. I am told there have been investigations about this and my informant is absolutely adamant that this is completely correct. But someone is telling porkies again since I recently had a reply to a Freedom of Information Act request about all this - which, very strangely, has NOT been signed by any employee - which says that it was purely coincidental that Maria Price had "pre-booked a day's holiday" for the very day Cooper was in the sh*t. The FOI reply says Britton did NOT request Maria Price accompany the thug but that "her manager" verbally advised her to go with him if she felt it impacted on council business (which it clearly did not). So some anonymous person is trying to clear Britton and has brought in another player - the "manager" - whom a highly-placed source says was most definitely NOT involved!
But the joke "Chief Executive" DOES admit to laying on a chauffeur-driven SMBC taxpayer-funded limo to take Dickhead Daz and a woman believed to be Maria Price to the nick in Brum. The enclosed photo is absolutely terrible but caught these liars out as the woman getting out of the limo seems to be confirmed as Maria Price:
And so we are expected to believe that Britton laid on the chauffeur but knew nothing about sending a taxpayer-funded solicitor too - and this being directly contrary to what TWO highly-placed sources are saying. Someone is p*ssing down my leg and telling me it's raining.....
I fail to see why Leader Steve Eling seemingly has a soft-spot for Britton when he has presided for YEARS over a paid service riddled with corruption but something is wrong here and he needs to order further investigations as to how taxpayer's money was diverted in this obscene way.
Cooper was a greedy, envious, little scrote. I am by no means flush (especially having dedicated a considerable time not working whilst exposing him and Britton's disastrous regime) but the late bully regularly took to Twitter to claim that I was rolling in it and living the Life of Riley. He always pretended to be a "man of the people" but an awful lot of Sandwell residents haven't got a pot to piss in whilst he was happy for corrupt Labour Councillors to rip them off and sh*t on them. But Britton, Cooper could have afforded his own legal bills. The Scumbag left net estate of just,er, £387,740 - a fortune for most long-suffering folk in the "socialist paradise".
