Look at the dates - five years apart and things continue to slide. The problems started to occur roughly when Darren Cooper and Jan Britton took the helm and "Inadequate" Ofsted reports followed thick and fast. Things became so bad the Government had to intervene and a seperate "Children's Trust" [sic] was set up. The liar and fantasist who now "runs" the failing Labour Council, Steve "Squealing" Eling, told the C*cksuckers in April:
"We are looking forward to bringing about better outcomes for some of our most vulnerable people. Now the real work starts."
One wonders why the "real work" hadn't been started under Jan Britton in 2011/12! Eling was the deputy Leader of the pathetic Council all that time too and throughout this shocking scandal! I am told that money has been thrown at the Trust with Christmas bonuses and all sorts of other incentives but that a load of deadbeats who Jan Britton infamously accused of being wholly responsible for the service failure in the first place have simply been transferred to the new body. And so just a few months after being set up we get this:
Birmingham Mail - 6th November (George Makin) :
This lot couldn't run a whelk stall but the moronic local population just don't get it!
Ah well, I hear you say, at least the comrades keep telling us how brilliant education now is in Sadders. Er, hang on a minute.... this from Birmingham Mail, 8th November:
Open your eyes folks! You may have f*cked up your own lives and be happy to wallow in a faggotts and peas stupour but someone has to stop this shower destroying the prospects of the next generation too!
*****
The Tories invented the financial scam that was "PFI" for funding and building new infrastructure but Tony Blair and Gordon Brown loved it and went into overdrive with the rip-off schemes. Sandwell Labour Council loved PFI, particularly the late "leader" Dickhead Daz. Every year the comrades boasted in the annual accounts that they were seeking more PFI "opportunities" so that they could bask in the glory of new buildings whilst local taxpayers had to pick up the tab for the next 30 years.
The late Smethwick Scumbag was ecstatic about the PFI deal to build the hospital in Smethwick (not any old hospital, of course, but a "super"- hospital). He regularly took to Twitter saying how "brilliant" it was. But Cooper wasn't known as "Sadim" for nothing. That name is the reverse of "Midas" and signifies that everything the woman-bullying thug touched turned to sh*t. Alas the completion of this particular monumental folly is further delayed according to press reports.

I pointed out last week that not everyone was happy with the new Sikh soldier statue in Smethwick as many young Sikhs in particular are disturbed about the role played by their ancestors in what they see as Imperialist affairs. But it is still shocking (and wrong) that the statue has been vandalised already with anti-imperialist graffiti. These pics from social media:

To finish on a - potentially - good news story... This is not a Council story as such but local residents in Tipton saw off the destruction of yet another pub when they contested a planning application by a food chain to convert the boozer into a convenience food store. I was delighted to meet some of the campaigners from The Sportsman in Tipton when the turned up at The Kremlin for the planning meeting this week. Let's hope there is no appeal and that the pub is saved for the foreseeable....
This is a lesson that Sandwell Folk can fight for themselves and can occasionally win. You don't have to put up with a bent and corrupt Labour Council. You can take on Eling's vicious dictatorship people! Go for it!
And Finally - I advertised yesterday that the Save Londonderry Playing Fields Campaign are having a meeting at 5pm on Sunday 11th November. I am hearing rumours (no more than that) that the comrades have banned them from holding it at Thimblemill Library. If you are going to the meeting please check the Facebook Group to check details.
Please also pop along to the YMCA on Carters Green between 2.30 and 4.30 today for the launch of a new book on The Public and a chance to chat to former staff and users. Bring your own photos if you have any. You can also meet The Skidder if that floats your boat....
