Cllrs Ian and Olwen Jones had the party whip removed for four months and Bob "The Hobbit" Lloyd for three months at a long and stormy meeting.
In the meeting it was alleged that those three councillors plus Richard Jones (son of Ian and Olwen) and his partner Richard McVittie (see posts passim) trapped a pensioner volunteer of scandal-ridden "Wednesbury Celebrates" in a room and berated and intimidated her for 30 minutes before she was rescued. The Jones camp are apparently alleging that this is untrue and a put up job. They apparently say the alleged victim is a Labour Party member close to Leader Steve Eling and evil Tipton Svengali, Derek Rowley.
Wednesbury Celebrates (WC - yes!) was formerly the plaything of Cllrs Olwen Jones and Elaine Costigan. They face a standards investigation at present in respect of an allegation they approved their own grant application for WC. Council investigations continue in respect of huge sums of rent WC failed to pay for the use of the Town Hall. The cunning comrades also used taxpayer-funded staff to write a Sport England bid for WC which paid out a huge £152,800 of which £105,000 was to be paid to Richard McVittie - partner of Richard Jones. (WC told the BBC McVittie was selected by Murray Hall Community Trust where Cllr Lloyd was the Chair of Trustees at the material time. Murray Hall refused to speak to the BBC - or anyone else - about this apparently blatant lie!)
West Midlands Police are - so far - refusing to investigate whether the Sport England and other bid applications were fraudulent in that WC had lied about the true state of their finances to gain pecuniary advantage.
It is understood that the three councillors are taking legal advice.
If - and I repeat if - these allegations are proven one assumes WC will take appropriate action in respect of McVittie - assuming he is still employed by them.
No doubt parents of children who attend Richard Jones's Five Star Performance Academy will also wish to seek reassurance that the bullying allegations against Jones Junior are untrue.
The row within Sadwell Labour has been simmering since the death of the late Smethwick Scumbag, Darren Cooper, when Cllr Yvonne Davies challenged Steve Eling for the leadership. Even vicious thug Tom Watson MP has been unable to bring the warring "comrades" to heel as the Davies/Jones faction refuse to accept the result.
Ian Jones took voluntary suspension from the Labour Party in respect of serious allegations against him but was reinstated in time for the thick morons of Tipton Green to re-elect him. He now faces further allegations of wrongdoing raised recently by the Council's Audit Committee.
As the Chinese say - we live in interesting times!
