"I Am Spartacus!"

There are a number of Sandwell Labour Councillors whom I have got to know over the years who are good people. A number of them bravely supported me in the recent criminal trial debacle. Some - but not many - are even ashamed of the fraud, corruption, cronyism and incompetence within the Council.

But a large number (not necessarily those named below) are moronic scum. They haven't got a "socialist" bone in their bodies and stick together like sh*t to a blanket. Just witness the corrupt Lion Farm deal that many of them are trying to force through. When I have asked many of them why they were not interested in such an egregiously bent transaction they blandly replied "it isn't in our ward" or similar as if that was some sort of excuse for their shocking and wilful negligence. (Not one of them has managed to get sight of the option agreement  - STILL!!!!!)

We know that some were physically scared on the late Darren Cooper - with good reason noting his wife-beating exploits etc. Many have been frightened of Eling's temper though his current suspension may embolden them to see him get his political comeuppance (some staff are also terrified of him and the "management" and should also, metaphorically, "grow a pair"). Squealing Eling and his former "enforcer", Marshall, sought to weed out opponents to The Milkman's crazed regime, of course. Even more bizarrely, a number of Councillors are frightened of Eling's "Chief Whip" - that pathetic greaser from Wednesbury, Jedward.

Surely Eling's party suspension is time for quiet reflection by those that are cowards and shysters?There cannot be another repeat of the disaster when the late Scumbag died and Eling grasped the sh*t-smeared crown! The Councillors have to somehow break the poisonous influence of Watson and Spellar in Sandwell affairs. They have to ensure that the likes of Britton and Tour are shipped out. It is essential that the paid service is vigorous and independent and not the cat's paw of the dictatorship it is at present. Can we hope for real change? YES WE CAN!

[Just a quick timeout to refer readers to the new legal notice at the end of this post!]

Back in January, 2018 myself and local activist Darryl Magher were doing our usual thing ie standing outside Oldbury Council House asking incoming Councillors questions on important Sandwell matters. It was actually quite a jolly session with many members wishing us "Happy New Year" etc. But then just before the start of the meeting the security staff told us that a councillor had made a complaint of harassment against us. Accordingly we would be debarred from attending the public Council meeting and if we didn't leave the premises the police would be called. We were herded off the premises.

The security refused to state the nature of the complaint or the identity of the malicious complainant. For a year many of the individual councillors and Jan Britton's bent paid service have fought hard to hide the identity of this brave soul. Why? I have now issued High Court proceedings to force out the identity of the malicious complainant and then to sue him/her. I shall obviously be asking the honourable court to draw the obvious inference from the fact that this liar is trying so  diligently to conceal his/her identity. But none of this should have been necessary if the majority of the comrades hadn't tried to play silly buggers and played "I am Spartacus" ie many have refused to rule themselves out in a forlorn bid to protect the culprit.  I am only suing for a modest sum but costs will go through the roof as I am forced to make applications to the Court to identify the liar and so this could all be very unfortunate for someone..... (It is not too late to cut a deal if you want to Councillor X. Though don't try contacting me via Surjit Tour - see further below...)

Just minutes after the incident happened I emailed the pathetic "Chief Executive" of the dismal Council, Jan Britton, at 18.09:

"As ever when meetings are on I was outside OCH tonight talking to councillors.

I was with Darryl Magher.

Wardens 15 and 5 approached and said they had received an anonymous complaint of harassment and that if we did not go onto the public highway the police would be called to arrest us. We were also barred from the public Council meeting.

Please confirm precisely and in writing what the hell is going on here.

THIS IS NOT A PRIVATE & CONFIDENTIAL COMMUNICATION"

I followed this up just a couple of minutes later also asking for the CCTV for the previous night's Labour Group meeting.

Obviously a number of councillors came passed us that night. Darryl and I couldn't remember everyone. We worked out some prime suspects who we hadn't seen and discounted then together, obviously, with the councillors who were not at the meeting. I duly emailed all possible culprits but only six had the (metaphorical) cojones to reply and rule themselves "out". Thus on 13th September, 2018 I hand delivered individual letters to Oldbury Council House to the remaining 44 possible culprits. Only a couple more Councillors ruled themselves out.

I then received a letter from Sandwell Council's highly controversial Monitoring Officer, Surjit Tour, who claimed, inter alia, that he represented the errant Councillor or the group of 44 (it is not clear from whom he claims he is receiving his instructions). Just think folks, this is a guy you are paying over £100k a year to and rather than fess up a comrade has decided that public money (ie your money) should be used to hide their identity.

Tour, a public servant "lol", was his usual insulting self - basically telling me that it is ok for councillors to defame me as I have no reputation to protect.

A number of Cabinet members are amongst those supporting this mis-use of public funds including Steve "Luvvie" Trow - the puppet Tom Watson is trying to force on the members as the new "Leader". I spoke to Joyce Underhill the other night - and I have always thought of her as one of the more pleasant members of the flock - and she told me that Tour had specifically told members NOT to respond to the letter. The tail was wagging the f**king dog!

But Tour did supply me with the CCTV from the night. This has no audio and one or two folk are quite difficult to identify but (subject to what is said below) this has enabled me to narrow the list still further. Tour was very insistent that I did not "publish" the film - allegedly for data protection reasons........ but now read on.....

This is the new list of suspects. (As above, it is actually quite difficult to identify some folk and if I have got it wrong and wrongly named any councillor then I will correct that immediately if they get in touch even though they have not, hitherto, chosen to rule themselves out of all this). One of these is "Councillor X" as named in the High Court Claim Form (though see below). The first two unidentified females may be SMBC staff. We think we know the two others named as unidentified.
Thus we have now narrowed the field to 26. Please note how many Cabinet Members are prepared to involve public money being spent in this conspiracy of silence including Trow who wants to be the new leader!

BUT SOFT! WHAT IS THIS?

The CCTV has been supplied by Surjit Tour - a Solicitor and the Council's laughable "Monitoring Officer" ie in the statutory role for maintaining standards!!! But yesterday I noticed something very strange. Tour has supplied me with a doctored tape!

Image One - now you see them:

At 17:27:58 2 people hove into view. One looks like Cllr Mohammad Rouf. The other appears to be female. I had not noticed this before as in the foreground of the full screen I was talking to Jedward.

Image Two - you may have seen them - now you don't:

The doctored tape from Tour jumps 35 seconds and this pair have disappeared! (I have not shown the full screen image).

I have asked for an immediate enquiry into this and reported the matter to the Police. This is a VERY serious matter and Tour has some explaining to do!

Those Councillors complicit in this cover-up might wish to start reconsidering whether they really want to remain involved in whatever is going on here! Watch this space......

(Many thanks to Mr A for going through the tape with me).
