At the Court hearing the barrister for one defendant handed up a character reference from, of all places noting the nature of the offences, "Tipton Young Asian Women's Forum" - TYAWF!
We have seen in this blog how Sadders is riddled with small "non-profit" organisations that are highly secretive in nature despite regularly applying for and receiving public funds. I have asked the Leader of Sandwell Council to clamp down on SMBC doling out cash to bodies that do not disclose their constitutions, "trustees" nor accounts and I hope he will now do this noting what has gone on of late. Of course, Steve Eling may be reluctant to act because, during the disastrous Cooper/Britton era, many of the recipient organisations had - and still have - councillors on their alleged "boards" to ensure that the downtrodden local populace are suitably grateful for cash gifts and repay that thanks at election time.
This blog disclosed the involvement of Postman Prat, Cllr Tony "Fudgie" Meehan, in the "Friends of Fudgestock" debacle, the deep involvement of Cllrs Ian and Olwen Jones and Elaine Costigan in the Wednesbury Celebrates scandal (of which, more shortly) and, just in the last few days, we find that Ian and Olwen Jones's involvement in the Hill Top Community Development Association is on the agenda before the Audit Committee on Thursday following certain allegations of wrongdoing (which, no doubt, will be denied.)
According to media reports the TYAWF alleged in the letter to the Crown Court that one of the sex offenders had been a "volunteer" at their, er, young women's organisation and that he was a thoroughly good chap etc etc. Informants tell me that this "volunteering" was untrue in any event and also that the young man in question is very closely related to persons involved in the administration of TYAWF, although that fact was, curiously, omitted from the "reference"!
It gets odder still. An informant has now stated that s/he signed the letter under duress and without understanding what it was actually to be used for. S/he has recently been to see bent West Midlands Police and told them about this but s/he is unaware of them taking any action to date.
I was told that some of "the comrades" may have signed the letter but those I have written to have declined to respond either to confirm or deny this.
Of course, I also looked up the TYAWF on 2nd March, 2017 to contact them and this was what I found on the SCVO Directory:
Even though Syeda Nessa is the contact point the emails have to go through her sister, Labour Cabinet Member and constant companion of the oafish Derek Rowley, Cllr Syeda Khatun at the Bangladeshi Women's Association.
On 2nd and 3rd March I emailed Khatun and the TYAWF asking for details of the relationship between certain individuals and the defendant, the nature of his "volunteering" with young women, a copy of the "reference" or, at the least, a list of the signatories and whether any report of the conviction of the "volunteer" sex offender had been submitted to Sandwell Council Children's Services (noting that SMBC fund Cllr Khatun's activities via the Bangladeshi Women's Association - including funds from Children's Services - and her BWA address is shown as the point of contact for TYAWF (see photo above). And answer came there none so that I chased Khatun and the TYAWF on 9th March. Still no response.
But looked what happened on 9th March on the SCVO Directory:
Now you see her - now you don't!
In the absence of a satisfactory response I have written today to Exeter Crown Court setting out all the information I have (including the identity of the principal informant with their permission) and requested that they investigate whether there has been a conspiracy to pervert the course of justice by any person. I am also contacting SMBC with regard to Child Safeguarding issues arising from this.
It looks like there is still plenty of swamp for Steve Eling to "drain" but I do wonder, given the allegations against Rowley which have apparently now been referred to the Cowards in Blue, whether it is entirely wise for him to be only recently photographed with the happy couple!
