But on a recent visit to the "Heart of Darkness" itself The Skidder observed that the image of the woman-bullying thug, groper and troll has been removed and replaced with an image of The Mayor! Great news for all the women of Sandwell! (I suppose it has been put somewhere else - probably where Jan Britton can genuflect in front of it on a daily basis "lol".)
Such A Thing As A Free Lunch!
In the corrupt world of Sandwell Labour almost all the "Party" members - apart from enemies of the repressive and despotic "Leader", Herr Eling, are given "jobs" to boost their allowances and keep them quiescent. On visits to the Oldbury Kremlin I have been surprised to see so many comrades availing themselves of the free canteen facility next to the Council chamber. Not only is there now a free meal to reward the richly rewarded "socialists" for deigning to turn up to full Council meetings (which they are elected and paid to do) but comrades drop in at will for free nosh. Indeed when I went to the Chance Glass property development pitch hosted by "The Milkman" himself a few councillors attended but near the end I saw a whole gaggle of others waiting by the door. When I spoke to them they said they were not there to support the crazed "heritage" scheme but were waiting to go for lunch with their colleagues who were attending!
OK this is the pot calling the kettle black here but many of the comrades range from "portly" to "grossly obese". Maybe a SLT free gym membership courtesy of the taxpayer may be more appropriate rather than us all paying for them to fill their faces. Having said that, the pathetic sheep who graze beneath Milko's paranoid eye rarely speak on any subject and at least when we are all treating them to free food it is rare instance of them actually opening and closing their mouths on Council premises.
But soft....there is good news! Whilst Jan Britton's bent paid service is a byword for cronyism, fraud, corruption and incompetence the catering operation at the Kremlin is probably the most efficient in the world! In a Freedom of Information response Sandwell confirm that the meals are not subsidised in the sense that Councillors have to pay towards them but ARE provided free of charge. The Council does not allocate a budget for the free meals or even keep a record of how many meals are provided (!) Despite this, the rotten Borough says that they can work out the costs involved (how?) which amount to just £69 per councillor per year. This is just £4,968 a year we pay as taxpayers so that the comrades don't have to waddle round to Sainsbury's next door to buy themselves a sandwich! But still, if the catering crew can allegedly serve up meals all year round for a matter of a few pence surely this incredibly efficient team can be put to work feeding rough sleepers and the poor of Sandwell now?
(I am inviting all Councillors to contact me to confirm that they declare the free meals on their tax returns?)
Free - Yes It's That Word Again - Use of the Kremlin for Labour Party
All readers will know that public Sandwell Council meetings are a charade as everything is agreed beforehand by Labour is secret meetings - most notably, the infamous Labour Group meetings on the Monday night before the full Council meetings on the Tuesday.
I turn up many Monday's to chat to the sheep as they are herded in. I have faced considerable abuse doing this but some of the saner councillors now stop and have a chat. Alas, in recent months Steve "The Milkman" Eling has taken exception to this and tried - by various means - to stop comrades talking to me at all. Furthermore, there has been an heightened security presence. At one meeting not so long ago when I was ALONE I was not allowed to stand in the building but ushered outside. Minutes later I was surrounded by 4 (yes, four) street wardens!
In another FOI request I asked why the Council Chamber was used for what is a purely party political - and secret - meeting? Why can't the Labour Party hire their own premises for their secret meetings (or use the infamous Terry Duffy House)? How much does it cost to pay for extra heating and lighting to use the building and for the ever-increasing security bill thanks to Eling's worsening persecution complex?
The answer is that Labour pay nothing at all and no record is kept of the (increasing) costs. But this is excused by Jan Britton's corrupt cadre on the basis that the Council offers the same free use of Council premises to other parties on the Council. It is just a pity that there aren't any "lol"!!!! So us taxpayers are forking out again but this time purely for the benefit of The Labour Party! Heat, light and treble security all round!!!!
Preet Gill and Lightwoods House
In my post of 13th December, 2017 (link below) I pointed out that Preet Gill MP had failed to disclose a material and registerable interest ie that she was leasing rooms at Lightwoods House (which is not in her constituency) from the comrades. (For new readers, Gill was a useless and ineffectual Sandwell Labour Councillor before the good folk of Edgbaston inexplicably decided they needed a pathetic non-entity to represent them at Westminster. She thought she could do both jobs ("lol") and stayed on as a Sandwell Councillor until the May election this year. Her husband is a SMBC employee. Unkind persons whispered that she stayed on because she "wanted the money." I feel sure that cannot be correct....)

But, fair play, the crafty comrades have played a blinder here. They have four rooms available for rent upstairs at Lightwoods House. Though not in her constituency, Gill has rented two of them (SMBC say the other two have now been rented to other parties.) Gill pays the rent to the sleazy "socialists" and then claims it back from us taxpayers via parliamentary expenses! Thus we are on the hook again subsidising the Council even though Gill represents a Birmingham constituency!
Gill signed a three year lease. I asked what would happen if there was a general election and she lost her seat (surely a distinct possibility when Edgbaston residents wise-up about her)? Would she retain personal liability to pay the rent? Happily the comrades have inserted a break-clause into the lease so that she won't have to! (Mysteriously they say the leases for the other two rooms have similar break-clauses but as the other tenants are - presumably - not MP's this sounds like a very weird arrangement indeed. Maybe even the comrades got cold feet when cooking up a favourable deal for one of their own!
