Britton's Leaker Revealed.....

It is said that Mr Paul Reeves, the manager [sic] who was suspended last week at corrupt Labour Sandwell Council just after the head of the bent paid service had promoted him yet again, started his career as a lowly gravedigger. He has certainly been digging a big hole for himself and, hopefully, a double-sized final resting place for Jan Britton himself! (Note to corrupt WMP - this is a joke and NOT a death threat!) Reeves is of course, "The Leaker" much-favoured by the bent Borough's "Chief Exec"!

The first two things very many employees say when ask about Reeves - and I mean very many - is (1) that Jan Britton allows him to run a gardening business, "Paul's Gardens", in addition to his day job and (2) about a certain aspect of his private life.

People say that he came to Britton's attention when he helped organise agency workers to break the binmen's strike when the "socialist" Council and Britton were privatising the service to Serco. (Any more info on that welcome as this all sounds odd. I always understood Reeves to be in the local Unite gang?) Whatever the position, Reeves started a rapid rise up the particularly greasy Sandwell Council pole.

I had never heard of this guy until late 2014. At that time, the late Smethwick Scumbag who "lead" the Council, Darren Cooper, launched a particularly nasty trolling campaign in association with trade unionist allies such as Brian Rickers of Unite (see posts passim ad nauseum). Shortly after the campaign started I was subjected to the infamous and very unpleasant ordeal in an Oldbury pub by SMBC employee and GMB union rep, Sarah James (again, posts passim). Not content with trying to maliciously humiliate me, James then boasted about it to Cooper and Rickers via social media but even this pair seem to have had cold feet about what she had done and apart from "liking" her tweets they left well alone. But Reeves had no compulsion about broadcasting James's lies as published in the "Darren Cooper's Troll Legacy" blog as long ago as 26th July, 2015:

http://trollnemesis.blogspot.com/2015/07/the-mysterious-paul-reeves.html

Reeves was trolling me and my wife via his twitter account @paulsgardens1. At these early stages I could not be sure this "Paul Reeves" was one and the same person as the Sandwell employee and I wrote to Jan Britton. He refused to comment. But at least he was on notice very early on what Reeves was up to. (Britton's own role, if any, in the trolling campaign is unknown but he does know Cooper's troll mate Andrew Hipkiss and, unbelievably, quoted some gibberish from Sandwell's super-troll as "research" on his Council blog "lol". Further, Britton was the ONLY follower for months of Hipkiss's troll account set up to attempt to prejudice my trial in the "c*cksucker" case where the complainant was, of course one J. Britton).

A police investigation started into Cooper and his troll mates but corrupt West Midlands Police ordered the officer involved to leave it alone. Cooper went on to run - with Rickers, Hipkiss [and others?] - at least 14 troll accounts - some of them very nasty indeed eg @Gemmawool. Here is a just one screenshot (of many) of three trolls all following a fourth troll account as was the aforementioned Sarah James (via a Twitter account she has now deleted):

On 10th January, 2015 I made a list for WMP of the persons following Reeves's account. It should be said that Reeves already had a Twitter account and it is not clear if he set this one up purely to assist Cooper and Rickers with the trolling but on 10th January, 2015 he had only 15 followers:

The list is interesting. The troll-masters Cooper and Rickers are there, of course, plus three Labour Councillors (although Paul "Heathcliff" Sandars would follow a lemming over a cliff). Union rep Matt Law (also an SMBC employee) did retweet a few things but to be fair (and as far as I can tell) he didn't want to get involved in this vicious bullying and sensibly dropped out almost immediately (certainly in his own name). No less that four of Cooper's troll accounts were following Reeves and one SMBC employee, Mat Burley. The eleventh person to follow Reeves was our old friend Sarah James again.

The trolling stopped, er, dead the very night the former wife-beater Cooper croaked in a drink'n'drugs fuelled binge at Easter, 2016. Shortly afterwards, in May, 2016, I started to receive emails from an account purporting to be that of "Becky Nutting" who is Paul Reeves's partner. The author (a betting man I think) had intimidate knowledge of the Parks Department where Reeves was now working. Whilst it is possible Ms Nutting typed the emails I believe them to have come from Reeves himself.

Below the subscription are the links relating to the content of the emails and Jan Britton's continuing love affair with the bearded wonder. (Incidentally, it is said Jan's bent paid service also sorted out a part-time job for Ms Nutting - info appreciated....)

Suffice to say, with regard to the emails, two disclosed confidential letters sent to the Council about two councillors. The first dealt with an incident where a Labour Councillor (and school governor) used his taxpayer-funded phone to film himself wanking. The second related to Cllr Simon "The Sandwell Slasher" Hackett (and "Becky" promised more on Hackett).

We know that Britton's paid service is riddled with corruption but how on earth did Reeves get hold of these letters? This indicates a major breach of security under the ludicrous Britton at the very least.

It was already well-known that Parks was a hotbed of fraud and theft during Britton's tenure in charge [sic] (even though one regular correspondent to this blog describes Britton as "the xxx xxx parky" in honour of a previous role he had). John Satchwell Senior was made to carry the can and forced out followed by the usual cover-up. Corrupt WMP refused to investigate. But people were standing in the way of Britton's boy and so "Becky" made very serious false allegations against:

John Satchwell Senior,
John Satchwell Junior,
Darren Jones,
Steve Robinson (including sending me a photo of this employee's house),

And also the now disgraced Director, Adrian Scarrott.

Britton objected to my revelations about these leaks and in his usual bullying manner copied in his tame local police puppet - Sgt Gary Capewell at Oldbury WMP (one of at least five letters he sent to this officer about me). He demanded that the blogs be taken down as he claimed they implied he had authorised the leaks (they do not and you can read them via the links below). But the fact is that, inexplicably, Britton kept promoting this rotten apple in the barrel.

Of course, Britton's tenure as Chief Executive "lol" has seen Sandwell Council become synonymous with fraud, cronyism, incompetence and corruption. His "excuse" - seemingly - is that he simply didn't know that all the bad things were going on!!! This disastrous failure, in itself, would lead to instant dismissal in "the real world". We only have his word for it that he wasn't involved and he has never been interviewed under caution by WMP (a prospect that is even more remote as his son now works for the bent Blues!)

At the infamous pub meeting I had in 2016 when Eling wanted this blog to attack his opponents we had a few drinks. I suggested to the increasing "happy" Squealer that Britton was "a t*rd in the pool" at Sandwell and Milko found this hilarious and repeated it several times. But he opined that Cooper's bent regime (in which he was very heavily involved as "the money man") had kept Britton as the Dictatorship needed a feeble character at the head of the paid service to do their bidding. Thus Britton had never been disciplined for his numerous failings and thus it was difficult to just sack him. This was Eling being disingenuous since he had worked closely with Britton during the late Scumbag's crazed regime. Others say that Britton "had too much on Eling" to be sacked and now,of course, Squealer's inglorious career is the one in tatters. (Although Eling did dangle hope at one point. He wrote to me about a council matter via his personal email account on 19th January, 2017 but finished by saying, "have to go and fish a t*rd out of the swimming pool now before I get on with cleaning out the swamp." As we now know this was bullsh*t and Eling failed to do either (as he has failed Sandwell folk with much else).

As The Squealer began to be found out - and particularly after my revelations about the pub meeting and subsequent WhatsApp feed - he became increasing paranoid. He set off the huge police investigation against me to try and discredit the blog and he set up the Council's infamous private police force, "the Barmy Army". These stormtroopers have been out in force before Council meetings putting out loads of barriers and then wo/manning the barricades. You may laugh Sandwell folk but you are paying through the nose for this farce. I am indebted to Lorraine Binsley for finding out the true costs via a Freedom of Information request:

There are EIGHTEEN (yes 18) in the Barmy Army. Sixteen are on Grade E but the two main men (Paul Reeves - for yes, it is he - and Reeves's mate, Stuart Clarke) are on Grade G. They run SEVEN vehicles which Britton's bent paid service says only costs us taxpayers £21,000 a year. The cost for the whole package is £766,316 per annum ie over three-quarters of a million pounds!

[Addendum 01/04/19 - employees are suggesting Britton's bent paid service have lied here and that Reeves is much higher up the pay scale on Grade J! Info please! I have also asked those providing the FOI to clarify].

These jokers are regularly pictured working directly with West Midlands Police and who knows what "intelligence" is flowing between two corrupt bodies to aid Sandwell criminals!

It is not known what, if anything, Britton actually does all day (apart from the incessant arse-licking of the "leaders" natch) but he clearly has a role in recruitment as he gave Reeves and his mate these well-paid jobs. It says a lot for his feeble judgement that BOTH men are currently suspended!!!

So Britton was aware of Reeves's trolling. What he knew about Reeves shafting of fellow employees may or may not have been known when he gave Reeves this cushy number. Just as Britton had a right-hand woman (no jokes please) - who also seems to have left SMBC under a cloud - he made Reeves his right hand man. Why he feels he needs someone in the latter role is not known though there are certain matters that Britton is very anxious to keep private (and he has apparently used an encrypted Blackberry phone rather than his Council one to conduct some of his "business" privately).

The videos of the infamous "cocks*cker" affair show Reeves (as head of security on the night "lol") with Britton outside the Council House. Reeves was on the phone and it is assumed that he was phoning the police. Certainly we have footage of him (some of it on YouTube) going to speak to the officers when they arrived. As also shown on YouTube (terminustrading) the Police alleged to me that I had repeatedly shouted "cocks*cker" at staff and in front on children - both, of course, untrue. Of the five SMBC witnesses only Britton and Reeves went on to give false written statements to the police falsely stating that children were present. They both also lied about this in court under oath/affirmation. (I was, of course, acquitted and the wealth of video evidence shows that there were no children present at all).

Recently Sandwell employees have been telling me that Reeves was claiming to have been "head-hunted" for a senior position. It is alleged that he changed this to boast that he was being promoted by Jan Britton to Max Cookson's old job. I heard that he was, indeed, promoted to an unknown position VERY recently despite Jan Britton knowing that he had leaked confidential information about two Labour councillors and falsely accused many of his work colleagues of fraud! Britton also knows that he gave false evidence at my trial. If that bizarre behaviour is not enough to bring the disastrous Britton era to an end with summary dismissal and without compensation what is on top of everything else????? Britton must know what most of his staff say about Reeves's private conduct but carries on regardless. Mind you, some say Reeves has a penchant for recording conversations.....

(Curiously one SMBC source is alleging that Reeves very recently said he would soon "destroy football in Sandwell". More information on this odd story welcome please but it would fit with the Labour Dictatorship's bent deal to destroy Lion Farm Fields!)

Now it seems that, just after promotion "lol", Reeves has been suspended (the fate of Ms Nutting is not known if she is, indeed, working for the corrupt Council). No-one at SMBC has contacted me for copies of all the emails, troll screenshots etc which suggests either that there will be another cover-up with everything as before or it is "the usual" Jan Britton deal ie dismissal with a huge wad of OUR money paid to this troll and leaker but the corrupt comrades protected via a gagging clause.

Keep me posted on this one please folks!

Rumour of the Day!

I have been receiving a number of calls today that both Dave and Shirley Hosell have been shafted by Labour in a "night of the long knives" so that they cannot stand for Labour in the May election. Shirley Hosell has never been anything other than unpleasant to me - always greeting me with truculent silence and a scowl. Sometimes she has physically pushed Dave away to stop him speaking to me! I quite like Dave in a curious way with his "colourful" reputation and we have had some quite pleasant chats when his missus hasn't been around.

But Dave hitched his wagon to the wrong horse politically. Eling told me at the infamous pub meeting that Hosell was not cabinet material but was promoted to neutralise him and his wife as "two votes against" The Squealer. It was a purely cynical move by The Milkman but, alas, Dave couldn't see that and was soon dropping on his knees and tonguing the Imperial rear. You reap what you sow Dave - but I'll kinda miss you....

Network Rail Consultation - Sleeper Factory

PLEASE ensure that you attend Day 2 of the slick Network Rail (NR) consultation at Walsall FC if you did not get there yesterday. You will also be able to meet the campaigners against the proposed factory at Bescot Sidings. [This was written on 30th March, 2019. Now please read on...]

Briefly, Network Rail say they need a million new concrete sleepers for the railways each year. A plant at Doncaster (operated by a different company) supplies 400,000. The rest have been made at Washwood Heath but that polluting plant is closing because of HS2. NR allege that they have looked at 28 potential sites to replace it but at the first day of the consultation yesterday they were unable to give any details of this whatsoever. Sometime ago they started talking to bent Labour Sandwell Council. Protesters say that a senior NR figure - a Mr Frobisher - told them the Council had given them the "green light" but NR are now vehemently deny this.....

NR are a state-owned company and god knows how much of OUR taxpayers' money they are spending on the consultation. They had many specially-made pop-up banners and a veritable army of staff present to "sell" this project. Go and see for yourselves between 10am and 2pm TODAY.

(I was present for over two hours yesterday but met no representatives from Sandwell opposition parties except For Britain yesterday. I do hope that all non-Labour parties will make it today if they have not already done so).

Concrete is primarily made of highly alkaline wet cement. The manufacture of cement is a major producer of CO2 - a potent greenhouse gas. The cement will be made off site but NR yesterday were unable or unwillig to say where. As the cement was not to be made at Bescot they had no information available about the polluting effect of this process and limply stated that "a full environmental impact assessment" will be available with the planning application. (Incidentally, bent Labour are pushing the new swimming pool through on vital green space at  Londonderry Fields without an Environmental Impact Assessment at all by the simple ruse of saying one is not necessary and knowing that locals are unlikely to be able to afford to sue them for this absurd decision (made by Amy Harhoff, the corrupt Council's Director of Regeneration).

NR say the cement etc will be brought by "sealed" lorries to Bescot and then, in a "sealed" environment, tipped into moulds and formed on a sprung floor to minimise noise. There is no kiln or heating process - the heat within the cement does the job itself. A large crane will then stack them outside the factory and then onto trains to be taken away. The promoters of this scheme allege that all this is perfectly safe for local residents and there is absolutely no dust. There is no "exhaust" as there is no heating process. When questioned about all the dust at the current Washwood Heath works this was explained away on the basis that a different, older, process was used at that site.

With all these things, companies persuade planners that very high levels of safety etc will be deployed but, in the real world, corners get cut. We know from the major nuclear disasters that even the most stringent rules of all get "overlooked".....

The real killer here is that all the goods "in" are to be delivered by lorry and NOT by rail - 7,761 huge lorries per annum. (As they couldn't say where the cement comes from they couldn't say why the couldn't build a manufacturing plant next to the cement works....) This is undoubtedly the major flaw in the ridiculous decision to select this site given the very heavy congestion in this area which is blindingly obvious to anyone who tried to drive there.

NR blithely say the lorries will come (from an unknown destination "lol") to M5 Junction 1 and then thunder along Sandwell roads to near Tame Bridge Park Way station where a new road will allow access to the site. They will then leave the site and rejoin the motorway system at that oasis of calm, M6 Junction 9!!!

The NR apparatchiks present yesterday seemed to have no conception of the level of traffic in this area. They blithely said that it will ONLY be 7,761 lorries a year but I pointed out that this was disingenuous since the site would generate lots more traffic with other suppliers visiting, workers arriving by car etc. They said - and I sh*t ye not - that people should travel more by rail but when I said that there was parking chaos around Tame Bridge station they said that "a lot of cars were parked illegally" so that something else will need to be done about that! I pointed out that if they were going to make it even more difficult for folk to park at Tame Bridge this was hardly conducive to encouraging them to travel to work by rail. But NR had the answer - such as it is - ie that it was all ok since Guy Craddock of Travel for West Midlands and Andy Miller of bent Labour Sandwell Council say it is!!!!

(NR have leafleted locals but not those in the rest of Sandwell who will be affected by traffic issues).

The site will have the capacity to operate 24/7. Yesterday NR told me that there will be no lorry movements or crane movements between 11pm and 7am "unless that becomes necessary." WTF does that mean? Hardly reassuring for local residents!

The corrupt Labour Council have given NR a lease for land by the site. This was given by the bent paid service via "delegated authority" but contains an option for NR to purchase the site for £125,000 which is above the delegated authority limit in the Council's own rules of "£100,000". This shows a very high level of efforts by bent Sadders to try and push this deal through but, on the face of it, the deal is ultra vires the Council's powers and unlawful. The campaign group have tried to ask Jan Britton, the disastrous head of the bent paid service, about this but he is refusing to comment. He has also refused to respond to me. Labour Councillors who claim to be against this project need to get a grip on this and make sure the facts are put in the public domain. NR flatly refused to comment on this yesterday and said they were happy with their contract and all enquiries should be put to SMBC!

The lease relates to highly polluted land and appears to show that Sandwell Council will may huge sums for remedial work (again suggesting a high level of political decision-making going on in the background here by the corrupt comrades). NR denied this yesterday and claimed they were responsible for remedial work but this also needs to be clarified asap!

Curiously the names of Councillors Steve "Squealing" Eling and Paul "The Cipher" Moore keep cropping up in discussions about this project but no less than four NR staff - including the main man - told me yesterday that they had "never heard of Paul Moore"! All very mysterious.

The campaigners have played a blinder here and all opposition parties and groups fighting the Labour dictatorship need to take note. They are putting boxes in local shops to collate the letters of objection against this bizarre scheme so that they can be collated and not "lost" by corrupt elements on Britton's staff. Please go along and speak to them today and follow the Facebook Group "The People of Wednesbury Say NO to Network Rail".

It is not often this blog gives a pat on the back to Labour Councillor and Cabinet Member Simon "The Sandwell Slasher" Hackett but he spent considerable time at the event yesterday. He assures me that he is NOT conning local residents with an election coming up and that he stands four-square behind the "anti" campaigners. Let's hope he can persuade his fellow cabinet members to stop this but, as above, deals have been done, leases signed etc.... and it is unlikely that Eling's hand was not in that. Simon needs to put a boot up Britton's massive arse and, for starters, get as much info as possible sent to the campaign group. Also NR say the environmental assessment has already done (cf their comments about cement production above) and so why do we have to wait for the planning application to go in to see this? Simon should be demanding disclosure NOW.

(Some of the other joke Councillors for Wednesbury - including the one who pushed for the Lidl centre - turned up yesterday but they are not worth talking to. Whilst claiming to be with the campaigners it is difficult to trust them on their past records and you wonder whether they are sucking up to NR to get some cash for their fish'n'chip karaoke nights and the like. London-resident MP Tom Watson also claims to be against the scheme but campaigners should remember what he did to The Public before they get too excited about that......)

In passing it must be mentioned how bent Labour works in Sandwell. They manage to push even huge and controversial planning applications (eg Lidl at Wednesbury) through in record time. This is because the political leadership has already agreed the applications BEFORE they are even made (this is what they are up to at Lion Farm as I write). This makes organisation NOW essential since they are deliberately ensuring that protesters have as little time as possible to campaign against the will of Labour's tinpot power brokers. But the worms are turning against the Dictatorship in Sandwell. Good luck everyone and keep going!

URGENT INFO REQUIRED!

There was a big rumour last night that Jan Britton's right-hand man and enforcer has been suspended! Three sources have told be this but more information urgently needed! 07470 624207.

CPS: "Sieg Heil" Perfectly Acceptable Abuse!

It's official - the CPS say it is perfectly acceptable to walk into a Sandwell pub and shout "Sieg Heil" at someone! As long as you only say it once*! Honestly, I am not making this up! Here is the exact quote from C. Gessey, District Crown Prosecutor, CPS West Midlands:

"By way of explanation, the reason for this is that the behaviour complained of does not amount to a criminal offence. In order to prove a public order offence it must be shown that threatening, abusive or disorderly words were used. Words or behaviour that are "insulting" do not constitute a criminal offence....Whilst I accept that this incident must have been annoying for you and that the phrase used in this case clearly carries certain connotations, the single use of it does not render it criminal. I have also considered whether a racially aggravated offence is made out. I do not find that the phrase is racially or religiously aggravated. The legal definition for such offences provides that there should be a demonstration of hostility towards the victim of the offence based on their membership or presumed membership of a racial or religious group. In this case the comment was not based on such membership and therefore this is not made out in law."

[I don't want this post to be about me but compare and contrast this with the West Midlands Police (WMP) and CPS attitude when they took me all the way to trial for the single use of the word "c*cksucker". But then that was a vindictive political decision rather than a legal one in an attempt to shut this blog down.....]

It seems that despite their alleged keenness to prosecute Cllr Bob Piper for use of this term WMP actually also support this view and one has to question whether the moral "Cowards in Blue" deliberately f*cked up Piper's case to ensure that one of their mates "got off" (see further below). I wrote this to WMP but they have failed to respond and so we must assume that they share the CPS view of the words used which, I submit, certainly fit the definition of "disorderly":

"The CPS have written to The Skidder stating that shouting "Seig Heil" at someone in a public place eg a pub, is perfectly acceptable  - certainly in single usage. 

I now intend to enlighten the good folk of Sandwell of their freedom to use this term if they so wish. Do WMP wish to make any observations that I can print please?

The CPS say the expression "Seig Heil" as a form of abuse is NOT racially or religiously aggravating as it is not based on the membership of a racial or religious group. It simply has "certain connotations".  I am sure that will come as some surprise to members of our community who are Jewish and I would again invite WMP to comment on that please."

All this comes, of course, from the behaviour of potty-mouthed Labour Cllr Bob Piper, the Chair of the Licensing Committee "lol", and his outburst in an Oldbury public house last July. The full story can now be told. Shortly before this incident I was called for interview because of the use of the word "c*cksucker" in a private conversation which was overheard. The head of Sandwell Council's bent paid-service, Jan Britton, put his pals in blue under pressure to prosecute me and they duly obliged for their friend. I wrote this to ALL Labour Councillors on 15th June, 2018:

"Eid Mubarak to those celebrating.

Over the years I have known most of you, I have been insulted and abused on occasions too numerous to mention. The "F" word has been used liberally and sometimes the "C" word. I have had councillors literally screaming abuse in my face. I have been threatened with physical violence. On an infamous occasion one or more councillors stole two eggs from SMBC and threw them at myself and other peaceful protesters.

It seems that hitherto I have had a thicker skin than your Chief Executive [sic] and that the alleged use of a single swear word is now classed as a criminal offence! I hereby put you on notice that I am no longer going to tolerate this sort of abuse. I have rights too. Please be aware that from today all abuse and threats WILL be reported to West Midlands Police forthwith. You have been warned and I shall produce this notice to WMP on each and every occasion it is required."

It was probably inevitable that the first Councillor to transgress was Piper and he did so just a month later after the July Council meeting. It should be remembered that Piper's mouth has got him into trouble of numerous occasions in the past eg:

http://thesandwellskidder.blogspot.com/2017/01/potty-mouthed-piper-on-fine-form.html

I should also add here that, from time to time, the pathetic "Labour Group" and assorted party members have tried to smear me as a supporter of the "far right". I am not of that persuasion but the allegation is based solely of the work I do with Darryl Magher in attempting to expose corruption in Sadders. Nevertheless I have written evidence of sundry "Labour" people spreading this b*llocks including Cllr John "Jedward" Edwards and the ever-popular Derbyshire resident Pam Pulsford (aka Mrs "Squealing" Eling).

As ever Darryl and I tried to speak to the sheep as they did the perp walk (aka "the Walk of  Shame") into Oldbury Council House and then repaired to Wetherspoons opposite. We were just leaving when Piper came in with Ann Jaron. I was leading the way and Darryl was behind me and to my left. As Piper went past I heard him say "Sieg Heil". I did not see it but he also made a Nazi-type salute to Darryl. I asked him if he was talking to me and he told me to "piss off". I asked the question again and he said "go on, piss of out of here". We both tried to get Piper to repeat what he said whilst filming him. We both made complaints to WMP and they secured the video footage from the pub. Although no sound was available on the footage it clearly showed that both myself and Darryl were very aggravated by something Piper had said.

Readers of this blog will know that corrupt WMP work hand in glove with Sandwell Council. One senior SMBC officer who left in disgrace was shagging an inspector. A Sandwell Inspector enjoyed "golf and spa days" with "colleagues" at the Council. The Blues have pulled various investigations eg Lucy Cashmore, multiple false register of interest entries (criminal offences), Cooper's trolling campaign and, worst of all, major fraud where the Regional Fraud Team started to make progress and were then pulled off the case. On the other hand, they have opened 8 (yes, eight) enquiries into this blog!!!!

The CCTV put the bent cops in a quandary since there was clear evidence, even without sound, of Piper provoking an incident in a public house. The police tell me - wait for it - that they sent at least one officer round to Piper's house to beg him to apologise! (Again, compare and contrast the treatment meted out to me in the "c*cksucker case" where they rushed straight to charging me without even a proper, full, interview!)

Piper was also offered a caution but did not accept it. Thus he was charged - and with an allegation that he had committed a racially-aggravated offence. Now I am not sure what Darryl said in his interview but this was put to me in mine and I specifically stated that I did NOT view it as a racially-aggravated matter. I said that in my mind it was a straightforward public order matter (which would give the police six months to bring a charge).

The police charged Piper and told me explicitly that they wanted to take the matter to Court as Piper would not accept a caution (and Sandwell coppers never lie). Although the incident happened on 17th July, 2018 and WMP secured the CCTV the next day they did not submit a file to the CPS until 7th October (presumably as they had been trying to cut a deal with the arrogant Piper). The CPS say in writing that on 18th October a conditional caution for a public order offence was appropriate (and it seems from WMP that Piper has never denied making the insulting remarks). (Once again compare this with my treatment in the c*cksucker matter where the CPS made it plain to me and my solicitors that they were determined to take me all the way to trial.) The CPS say the police then tried to administer a caution for a racially aggravated offence which was not what the CPS had authorised (was this done deliberately in the knowledge that a charge of that nature would never stick and Piper was unlikely to be found guilty?)

Piper - quite rightly in my view - would not accept the "racially-aggravated" caution and so "without the authority of the CPS" the police charged him with the much more serious offence. The matter was due for a "first time up" hearing on 16th January, 2019 but the CPS withdrew the charge. They were still - just - inside the six months and could have still got the police to administer a public order caution or charged him with the lesser offence. As it happens the CPS apparently did not communicate with WMP at all. Piper's personal friend and hard-left ally, "journalist" George Makin, then splashed false stories in the local press that Piper HAD been cautioned and all charges were now dropped.

When I contacted Ch Supt Richard Baker (or "Rich" as he is known to his pal "Squealing" Eling) to say that it was disgusting that the victims had not been told that the charges had been dropped and had to read it in the press, he was genuinely surprised at what I was saying and promised to check it out - which, to be fair, he did. This led to the police themselves appealing the CPS decision and, as shown above, they decided that hurling "Sieg Heil" at someone in a pub is just "insulting" and not a crime. (The two "piss-offs" were totally ignored - surely it is arguable that two "piss-offs" equal one "c*cksucker" in the weird collective mind of Sandwell Police? And just because Piper is the Chair of the Licensing Committee he has no power to tell anyone to piss off out of a pub!)

George Makin was quick to get further stories in the craven local mainstream media - and blithely admitted that his earlier story which said his mate had received a caution was "a mistake"!!!! (Makin, despite his pro-left wing views, is funded by the supposedly impartial BBC as a "local government democracy reporter "lol").

By now the six month period to bring a lesser charge had expired even if the CPS had wanted to. Piper "got off" scot free without even a caution. The police say that Piper had made the insulting comments but claimed to have done so at Darryl and not me and that this was a "joke" (though he later stated via Makin that he was only "half-joking" which means that he was half-serious!) The Police told be that arrogant Piper was "sorry" for what he had said but he has shown no remorse whatsoever to either complainant and, despite the written warning I had sent to him (see above), he has written to me saying that my complaint was "vindictive". Same old nasty piece of work Bob and, as ever, a Labour Councillor playing "the victim".

In his capacity as Chair of the Licensing Committee Piper has to decide in a judicial fashion whether pubs that "misbehave" and run a rowdy establishment should face sanctions - including loss of their licence. Even though he evaded criminal charges the fact remains that he used insulting words in a pub with the intention of provoking a reaction. He has returned to chairing the licensing committee and here he is after a sub-committee meeting where he had just adjudicated on a violent incident at a pub. I asked him whether he was a fit and proper person to chair the Licensing Committee - clearly he is not and should be removed from this position (not least because his retention of this position throws SMBC open to legal challenge should a licensee object to one of his rulings). This is unlikely to happen, however, under the "weak as piss" leadership [sic] of new Labour supremo Steve "Luvvie" Trow.

Incidentally, at the hearing referred to above the Sandwell Police officer attending said that they held confidential "criminal intelligence" relating to gangs operating in Tipton. Piper asked if he could see it. The officer said the data was in raw form (ie nothing redacted) but still handed it over to Piper! Thus someone the police claim they were desperate to charge a couple of months ago is handed top secret criminal intelligence - just like that! (I don't think Piper is corrupt in the sense that some of his comrades have been - although he has actively and willingly supported many highly dubious Labour decisions over the years - but it is clear that there are still corrupt Labour elected members of the Council and Jan Britton's paid service is riddled with corrupt employees who have facilitated all that has gone on. In the premises is it appropriate for Sandwell Police to hand confidential criminal intelligence to ANYONE connected with this organisation? Piper has a big mouth - see post above - and so is it right to entrust HIM with such matters?)

Like his "socialist" pal, Steve "The Milkman" Eling, Piper might spout left-wing claptrap but he is inordinately fond of money and is very comfortably off. The good news folks is that rather than be sacked from his committee positions Trow is keeping him (and Squealing) in situ and so extra allowances roll in despite his appalling behaviour. Bob, next time I see you in the Spoons I think the beers should be on you!

*Of course, many in the Black Country know that they cannot rely on WMP for any sort of justice and resort to more physical methods of alternative dispute resolution. If you are planning to "do a Piper" just be careful you don't pick the wrong target and end up with a big dental bill "lol"! (And no, WMP that is NOT a threat by ME to anyone so no need to open yet another crime reference number).

Technical Blog - High Street Funding/Bent Lion Farm Deal

Here is my letter of objection sent today to the High Streets Fund with copies to James Morris MP and Jan Britton:

25/03/19

"SMBC have stated on their website that they have applied for £25m of funding from the Future High Streets Fund principally for West Bromwich High Street.

Sandwell is a dirt-poor and deprived Borough, after over 40 years of Labour Party dictatorship, it could do with all the help it can get but a grant from this particular fund would be a disastrous waste of our - taxpayers' - money.

The principal objections are:

1   As local MP James Morris has pointed out in the House of Commons this authority has become synonymous with fraud, incompetence, cronyism and corruption. There are serious questions regarding the governance of this Council with the paid service being totally under the control of the elected members and thus unable to objectively guide and advise them. Given what has gone on there is no guarantee that any funding under this scheme will not be siphoned off into "other projects" eg the corrupt Council has form for giving money to private individuals for schemes who are totally unaccountable and, in fact, do not account for monies received from public funds. One example is that SMBC gave £30,000 to a private "entrepreneur" whose business is creating statues to plonk one in West Brom centre.

2   SMBC unlawfully destroyed The Public arts centre to provide a second almost new multi-million pound building for Sandwell College at no rent thus wrecking one regeneration project in West Brom. They have spent like drunken sailors in West Bromwich centre eg on Queen Square which is like a "ghost" mall. The addition of the (private) New Square shopping centre was supposed to regenerate the centre but has not done so. The indoor market is a disaster zone. The night-time economy is non-existent. Many people think it is too unsafe to go out in the area at night. With two college buildings in the centre of town there have been widespread public order issues from young people of late such that the police have had to seek special "stop and search" orders. Just throwing money at this when Labour have already wasted so much on this High Street is wrong and indefensible.

3   Perhaps the most important objection, however, is that the Council are attempting to bring a bent deal to fruition to develop a gigantic new shopping centre at a 19ha greenfield site called Lion Farm Fields at Oldbury. This is only FOUR MILES away from West Brom High Street. Even if one ignores the corrupt nature of the transaction (which Sandwell tried to keep secret for a lengthy period) a major new shopping centre in the Borough is likely to kill the High Streets of ALL six local towns, including West Bromwich. Why throw £25m at West Bromwich when the Council is actively working on a new retail development that will destroy the town - especially in the horrendous current retail environment. This would be a reckless and wicked waste of our - taxpayers' money.

4   Because of the political leadership calling the shots during the Jan Britton era, the paid service has no talent nor ability to do anything let alone spend this sort of money on an area where they have already squandered vast sums. It is noteworthy that they do not even have the talent to write a bid to you themselves but have had to use taxpayers' money to instruct "regeneration experts" to do that!

5    Messrs Hammerson had planning permission in 2016 to build a brand new shopping centre even closer to West Bromwich at The Junction site by Sandwell and Dudley railway station. Even with their considerable expertise in the retail property market they could not get tenants to make the scheme viable and have just announced that they will not proceed with it. If the professionals cannot make headway in this area what chance a bunch of corrupt cowboys/girls?

I have sent copies of this mail to James Morris MP and to Jan Britton, who claims to be the "Chief Executive" of Sandwell MBC.

Please acknowledge receipt of my objection.

Julian Saunders"

The Skidder - "A Known Offender"!

It is like pulling teeth but I am slowly piecing together the campaign against me by bent Labour Sandwell Council and their mates at West Midlands Police (WMP). Some more information has been forthcoming and it shows multiple use by Cooper, Eling and Britton of their puppets in blue. Here is the list so far (and it does not appear to be complete).

2015 - Complaints by the late wife-beater Darren Cooper and Jan Britton

This resulted in a very unpleasant interview under caution at Brierley Hill Police Station. Once WMP realised that Cooper had his hand up Britton's rear and that the allegations had no merit it was all dropped.

August 2017 - Eling/Marshall/Costigan

This was the major investigation kicked off by the ex-Leader of the corrupt Council Squealing Eling that was deemed to be sufficiently serious to involve WMP's "Complex Crime Unit" and a large number of senior officers including some at Inspector and Chief Superintendent levels. Unbelievably I was also discussed at "Gold Meetings" (usually where very serious crime is dealt with) chaired by an Assistant Chief Constable (I sh*t ye not!)

The investigation led to another interview under caution where two WMP tried to fit me up with false allegations. The whole thing seems to have lasted a stonking 343 days before it was decided that I had, er, done nothing wrong!

Incidentally the corrupt cops invited the bent Borough's Monitoring Officer, Surjit Tour (the most dangerous man in the Council) to at least one of the Gold Meetings even though the Council were supposedly nothing to do with the matter. Even more amazingly Wilkins Chapman solicitors were also there - at least at one of the meetings! They had been instructed by SMBC in respect of standards cases and so what they were doing at a WMP Gold meeting is a complete mystery. At present WMP are refusing to clarify these very odd decisions.

8th November, 2017 - Unnamed Labour Councillor

A crime reference number was given in respect of an unspecified complaint by an unnamed Labour councillor but no action was taken.

23rd February, 2017 - "Dr"Alison Knight

Another crime reference number issued in respect of a complaint by SMBC Executive Director and retail guru "Dr" Knight about this blog post wherein I exposed that she had been re-employed at a huge salary by SMBC despite her previous record working at the Council and her major involvement in the "Click Sandwell" disaster which cost us taxpayers' dear:

http://thesandwellskidder.blogspot.com/2018/02/twice-knight.html

22/05/18 - Jan Britton

The infamous "c*cksucker" case. Most readers will know that I used that word in a conversation with someone but it was overheard. The police turned up. You can now see previously unshown footage of the police arrival (the later part of their involvement has been on YouTube since the incident).

CAUTION - THIS VIDEO CONTAINS VERY STRONG LANGUAGE:

Unbelievably Britton continued with his complaint about the single use of a swear word and I was again interviewed under caution. Britton wrote at least twice to Sandwell Police to force a prosecution and they duly obliged. After several months I was eventually tried and acquitted at Dudley Magistrates' Court in January.

Incidentally, in his police statement the gargantuan head of Sandwell's bent paid service described me as "somewhat pauchy in appearance of face and body". True - but talk about the pot calling the kettle black "lol"!

IN JULY, 2018 THE HUGE "MAIN" INVESTIGATION ENDED AND ELING WAS WRITTEN TO BY WMP IN STRONG TERMS AND THEY HAD HAD ENOUGH OF HIS SQUEALING. THIS DIDN'T STOP HIM WRITING A COUPLE MORE TIMES WITH SPURIOUS ALLEGATIONS. THESE DO NOT APPEAR TO HAVE BEEN GIVEN A CRIME REFERENCE NUMBER.

DESPITE THIS THE COMRADES WOULDN'T GIVE UP:

26TH AUGUST, 2018 - UNNAMED LABOUR COUNCILLOR:

Another crime reference number and an unspecified complaint about the blog but no further action taken.

11th OCTOBER, 2018 - SQUEALING ELING

This was the absurd complaint by the Squealer when I tweeted about the Labour Party investigations closing in on him. Despite Ch Supt Baker's bollocking he caved in to his master and I was forced in for interview again though the DS taken off police work for this crap was clearly dumbfounded as to why police time was being utilised on such nonsense! Full story:

http://thesandwellskidder.blogspot.com/2018/11/eling-and-wmp-harass-blogger-again.html

Incidentally WMP described me in their log of this complaint as "the known offender Julian Saunders" when I have a completely clean record. This seems a clear indication that they have a view of me and are determined to "get a result".

(As it happens, of course, my informant at WM Labour Party was on the money and Eling has been suspended by the Party).

3rd November, 2018 - UNNAMED COUNCILLOR

Yet another crime reference number for writing this about the Sikh soldier statue (and this is out of context as the whole post made plain the wartime sacrifice of folk from all parts of Britain's former empire) and which an unnamed Councillor complained of as being "a serious racist comment":

Children's Services have been in crisis for years under Labour. There have been terrible cuts in Adult Social Care as the comrades say they haven't got any money. But old people in extremis and kids being sexually and physically abused don't tend to vote whereas Labour takes great pains to court the "Asian" demographic. So why not screw the populace again to pay for a statue in Smethwick if they bag more votes next May? I am sure a number of the Labour greasers will be out in force at the grand opening tomorrow to try and claim some kudos and so if you are there you will be able to ask them the costs and contact me with the details.

Needless to say the article was not "racist" and yet again no further action was taken.

A matter of great surprise is how the police automatically assume that a Labour Councillor is being truthful (despite the mountain of evidence of the comrades incessantly lying) whereas local Facebook accounts record Sandwell Police constantly failing even to turn out for serious incidents of domestic burglary  and other significant incidents. And WMP go to great pains to avoid giving out crime reference numbers so as to improve their stats. Well I am up to 8 (EIGHT) now despite being 60 and having an unblemished record! Someone, somewhere, in authority now needs to put a stop to this wicked and incessant attempt to stifle free speech and to shoot the messenger!

Jan Britton - Taking The Ric?

Yesterday I mentioned the huge concrete sleeper works proposed by Network Rail and to be built, if approved, at Bescot Sidings. One wing of London-based "MP's" Tom Watson's team are trying to push this through whilst the other wing are objecting to the scheme! Funny that isn't it! And the bent Labour Council are also trying to force it through despite huge numbers of objectors.

Traffic and parking already chaotic around Tame Bridge!

As I read into this today one curious thing immediately caught my attention. In October, 2018 Jan Britton, the head of Sandwell's bent paid service, wrote to the absentee MP Watson:

Ok this is supposed to be part of a wider regeneration project but with hundreds of people in the area objecting local folk may be surprised that the Council itself is forking out for mega expensive consultants to mark Network Rail's homework long before a planning application!

Jan Britton has form for dishing out huge contracts without competitive tender eg to Racist Wragges (posts passim) and so I suppose we should be impressed that he is allegedly playing by the rules on this. And Ricardo are a top firm. They even have a special "Rail Division" where a "key client" is, ahem, Network Rail! This from the Ricardo website:

So a public body, Network Rail, is using taxpayers' money to try and shoehorn a huge factory in next to houses and clogged roads. The taxpayer is paying its consultants to force this through a bent Labour Council which is also using taxpayers' money to pay consultants to check that Network Rail's consultants are not telling porkies and those consultants do oodles of work for, er, Network Rail.

I wonder what conversation the disastrous Britton had with Ricardo about their apparently humongous conflict of interest!

Wednesbury - I do hope Labour and Tom Watson are not shafting you!

REMEMBER TO ATTEND THE NETWORK RAIL CONSULTATIONS AT WALSALL FC FRIDAY 29TH AND SATURDAY 30TH WHERE YOU CAN TRY AND ASK ABOUT ALL THIS!

Just in case you thought Watson was a regular guy and not a bullying creep (he hounded a man to his death with false allegations of the vilest kind) just take a look at this outrageous tweet:

One of the biggest fans of Interserve, which recently collapsed into administration, was the corrupt Labour Council in his own constituency in whose affairs he, WATSON, interferes constantly. Tommy is really taking the p*ss here

Bent Sandwell Labour under Cooper and Eling were massive cheerleaders for Private Finance (PFI) schemes which are ruinously expensive. This pair and others ditched the first contractor, Vinci, in the first phase of local PFI schools in favour of Interserve. These schemes appealed to brainless people like Cooper since they could boast bright new schools in the Borough but "on tick" as they then had to contract for mega-expensive service contracts for, usually, 30 years. Eling, who thinks he is clever on financial matters, should have known better. Even those Labour Councillors who pose as "hard-left" joined in the Interserve love-fest with gusto voting through deal after deal.

The Tories had invented PFI (Norman Blackwell, the ex-Chair of Interserve, was a policy wonk for Thatcher) but Labour loved the idea of the illusion that this gigantic borrowing was not, in fact, debt even though they were happily shafting future generations for huge, er, debts! (It's called "socialism").

Blair and Gordon "The Moron" Brown turbo-charged these schemes and spent like drunken sailors. And Sandwell Labour were one of the biggest cheerleaders of all - stating for many years in the annual accounts that they actively wanted to do even more PFI deals! But when the Tories came back into power they realised how expensive these schemes had become. Michael Gove stopped the ruinously expensive "Building Schools For the Future" scheme. When he announced this in Parliament Tom Watson shouted at him that he was "a miserable pipsqueak" and the comrades actually took the Government to Court to keep the scheme going!

When Cooper, Eling and others decided (unlawfully) to shaft The Public in West Brom the eventual bent deal involved a £6m (yes, six million pounds) contract to, er, Interserve without ANY competitive tender but with the full approval of Sandwell Labour Councillors. Watson was, of course, deeply involved in the decision to destroy the arts and community facility despite press reports - emanating from him - to the contrary!

Watson's diet may have got rid of his multiple chins but he still has two faces!

Mohammad Rouf - Three Standards Breaches!

Way back in 2015 I was still a bit wet behind the ears when it came to West Midlands Police (WMP). I heard all the stories of their corrupt collusion with bent Labour Sandwell Council but naively thought that even if this was true in the past, surely things had changed for the better? Of course, I was wrong and things were actually far worse than I knew then and, if anything, the position is as bad now as it was four years ago.

Back in the day I made a formal complaint to WMP relating to five Labour Councillors who had made false declarations in their Register of Interest entries. I took this by hand to West Bromwich nick where the civilian staff on the desk did their best to fob me off. I persisted and (on a different date) finally went in to see an officer. I was told that enquiries were in hand and, like a prat, believed a Sandwell cop!

I had actually taken in and handed to the officer copies of the Act showing why the sundry complaints may have constituted criminal offences. The cops had six months to investigate this and to bring charges if that is what they wanted to do. But they deliberately allowed the time limit to expire. A complaint to the IPCC - police complaints - elicited that in all five cases WMP had done NOTHING whatsoever - absolutely NOTHING. Not content with p*ssing on me the (moral) Cowards in Blue decided to tell me it was raining. They made the incredible claim that they had let the time limit expire - wait for it - THROUGH IGNORANCE OF THE LAW! Boom, boom! Try that "defence" next time they pull you up for something and see how far it gets you!

Of course, Sandwell Police have form for this. When Lucy Cashmore (daughter of Labour Cllrs Linda and Roger Horton) gave a false address to get elected to Sandwell Council (and to screw us all for four years of allowances) the Tories made complaint to WMP. They eventually sent an officer Gilece round to the Horton's house in Hall Road, Smethwick to meet Lying Lucy there BY PRE-ARRANGED APPOINTMENT. And lo, the Liar just happened to be in when he arrived! The Tories were still unhappy and one of their assures me that an Inspector (?) Gill Munslow (?) eventually said that Sandwell Police had deliberately let the time limit for mounting a legal challenge expire! (It is VERY important to note here that the Inspector was specifically NOT involved in any police aspect of this matter and no such implication is made here. I simply report what the local Tories told me.)

Many Labour Councillors were very well aware that Cashmore was not living in Hall Road. Class comedian Bob "Seig Heil" Piper - who has been on the Audit Committee for years "lol" - thought this rip-off (for several thousands of pounds) to be a tremendous joke on us taxpayers. In 2017 I organised in Sandwell the UK's first ever "Corruptour" ie a charabanc trip round many of the sites involved in fraud and corruption under this stinking local Labour Party. Hall Road was one of the stops on the itinerary and Piper joked to me "I wonder whether Linda will be inviting you all in to see Lucy's phantom bedroom"!

As this blog has shown in past posts ad nauseam, Mo Rouf is now living in a 7-bedroom house on Florence Road, Smethwick. The whole transaction - first with one son involved and then with a second - appears to have been fraudulent and involved the late Smethwick Scumbag and "Leader", Darren Cooper, ordering the land to be removed from auction and sold for far less than the cost Sandwell Council paid for it. (Us taxpayers via the bent Labour Council paid over £200,000 for the plot plus demolition costs of existing houses. Despite extensive local interest in the plot it was sold to Rouf's son for just £65,000). This bent deal was NOT investigated in the infamous and useless "Wragge" Report and, as far as I know, WMP have never looked at it either despite the pile of
evidence available to them. But then they wouldn't want to sh*t on their mates would they?

This matter was specifically raised in the House of Commons by James Morris MP over a year ago but there has STILL been no police or other investigation!!!!

I have, of course, made numerous complaints about the Rouf house and other matters he was involved with over the years. In 2018 I made a formal standards complaint ie:

1   Rouf made false entries in his Register of Interests in respect of 88 Shireland Road, Smethwick;

2   He made false declarations of interest in respect of 33 Trafalgar Road, Smethwick;

3   Rouf made false declarations concerning his employment as a taxi driver (not bad for someone on the Licensing Committee....);

4   That he acted dishonestly in respect of the transfer of the Florence Road plot to his son.

The Monitoring Officer is now Surjit Tour - the most dangerous man in Sandwell Council. This piece of work* is simply refusing very serious standards complaints (notably those against Squealing Eling) off his own bat and with wholly "inadequate" reasons. In this case he said that the transaction has been the subject of another standards hearing (which is news to me and everyone I have spoken to - it was referred to in another hearing when it was disclosed that the former wife-beater Cooper had been behind removing the property from auction but there has been no standards hearing involving Rouf to my knowledge). Tour claims there has been a standards investigation (as opposed to an audit investigation) into this transaction but has not disclosed this nor any part of it. He alleges that there was insufficient evidence against Rouf but, again, none of this has been made public. In the circumstances he says that there will be no further investigation - as simple as that! (Though The Skidder for one will not be giving up on this just yet.....)

In February Tour supplied me with a copy of the Investigation report into the other three matters. Basically Rouf was holding his hands up but his "defences" didn't quite ring true. I made representations about that which, of course, were duly ignored. I also stated that in the light of the cover up of any investigation into the Florence Road plot (and other unrelated matters) I had no confidence in the standards process at bent Sandwell Council generally and also no confidence whatsoever in Tour himself to conduct such investigations.

BUT Rouf IS GUILTY of three breaches with the "inaccuracy" in these matters continuing over a number of years. In the three cases "the failure to make declarations of interest as required amounts to breach of the Member's Code of Conduct."

This smacks to me of Rouf holding his hands up to 3 relatively minor breaches to escape "the big one" eh readers? And even after this time there was plenty of evidence to find Rouf in breach so that if the bent cops had investigated this in the first place there would at least have been a prima facie case upon which the CPS could have decided whether or not to prosecute!

Of course, the penalties a Council can now impose here are feeble and despite THREE different  breaches of the code his "sentence" is to undergo training as to the obligations and duties relating to the Register of Interests! That's it! The matter will NOT go to a full, public, Standards Hearing.

This feels like a pyrrhic victory but a wins a win against these bastards!

* I am currently involved in a legal claim against Sandwell Council where the identity of one councillor has yet to be established. Tour - a solicitor - eventually supplied me with a CCTV tape but failed to tell me that it had been doctored and over 30 seconds cut out. At 17.27.58 two figures appear in the top right hand corner but then disappear - just like that! One of the two disappearing figures is, of course, Mohammad Rouf! How very odd......

Another Disastrous Squealing Eling Appointment!

You would thing after deposed "Leader" Squealing Eling made such a disastrous appointment to the Cabinet as Tricky Dicky Marshall he might have learned his lesson but arrogant sh*ts never do, do they? And so in November, 2018 Sandwell Labour's newest "Business Ambassador" was introduced to the world (please allow me to pause a moment as I am p*ssing my pants....):

A previous incumbent for this role in the, er, business-hating Council was Cllr Bill "Yellow" Gavan who, as this blog showed, had a veritable galaxy of , er, failed business in his firmament. Now I am not one to denigrate taxi drivers but that seems to have been Mo's only "real job" - at least for a good few years and even though, as above, he seems to have, er, forgotten about it. As readers will know, Mo works tirelessly day and night in the family-owned Midnight Pharmacy in Shireland Road. A female claiming to be a family member told be he was earning a regular wad of "cash" for his services (and I was not given a till receipt by him when I bought an item from his son's emporium). But this is clearly all wrong and I am happy to report that Mo told me personally that he puts so many hours in on a purely voluntary basis for the benefit of his family and the local community. What a guy! And in his current Register of Interests Rouf  indeed says he and his wife have no employment.

In the Standards Investigation referred to above Rouf claimed that he gave up taxi driving "shortly after 2010" (whatever that means and that does not really accord with my information). If we say early 2011 that means that by his own admission Mo has been unemployed for eight years. I know many of the Sandwell Labour Group are unemployed or scroungers of one sort or another but how does the great Steve Eling get to pick this guy as a "business ambassador" FFS?

BIG DATES - Londonderry/Wednesbury

PLEASE DO NOT THINK THAT JUST BECAUSE THIS POST RELATES TO TWO SPECIFIC AREAS IT DOESN'T MATTER TO YOU - IT AFFECTS EVERYONE IN SANDWELL. YOU ALL BREATHE THE SAME POLLUTED AIR AND FACE THE SAME POLITICAL DIFFICULTIES WITH THIS BENT COUNCIL FLOGGING LAND AND RIDING ROUGHSHOD OVER PLANNING AND OTHER LAW. NOW IS THE TIME TO UNITE AND FIGHT TOGETHER AGAINST THESE DICTATORS!

It is hard for folks who live outside the "socialist paradise" of Sandwell to comprehend just how cynical Labour are in their running of their tinpot dictatorship of four decades. And local folk don't seem that bothered either as a small percentage keep voting year on year for continuing failure.

Exhibit 1 M'lud: Londonderry Lane Playing Fields

Sandwell - aka Sadwell - is blessed with two green areas that enjoy political favour - Sandwell Valley and Warley Woods. The rest of the Borough is largely an urban sh*thole riddled with polluted ground and poisonous air for your kids to "enjoy". Labour are now in a headlong race to sell-off any green space not in the Valley or Woods to get the money to prop up its dire regime and perpetuate the deprivation of 40+ years. Hence, for example, the bent deal deal to try to destroy Lion Farm Fields in Oldbury.

Over the years the comrades have devised a "plan" "lol" that each of the rotten Borough's six towns should have identical "facilities" regardless of economic or other rational arguments. The sports-mad "socialists" wanted a nice shiny new and heavily-subsidised Leisure Centre in each town regardless of need, alternative private provision and cost to the taxpayer. It was the dream of the former wife-beater and Sandwell "leader", the late Darren Cooper, that Smethwick should get a leisure centre at all costs but that seemed to have been put on hold with his death. But then the Commonwealth Games jokers came along and sprinkled what they perceive to be some stardust in the eyes of the moronic councillors and suddenly the race was on to find a site for a swimming pool. And because the rubbishy Games have to be on a fixed date in 2022 the comrades urgently need a nice "clean" site so that the builders can start destruction asap. What better place than Londonderry Fields? OK it's green space partially in trust for local people. It has (or had) trees and grass and a wild meadow and football pitches used by the Warley League (who are also threatened with losing Lion Farm Fields). The fields are a green lung hemmed in by housing and narrow roads - so ideal for a venue designed to generate MORE traffic, congestion and pollution in the area!!!

There are brownfield sites all across the Borough but most are heavily polluted and requiring much remedial work. Hammerson have just announced that they are pulling out of the scheme to build a large shopping centre at The Junction in Oldbury which would seemingly be an excellent site (if this huge some of money is to be p*ssed up the wall) as it is right by Sandwell and Dudley Station. But Smethwick must have a "leisure centre"!

And the Labour sheep are desperate for some "glory" and a "legacy"  when the Borough is at or near the bottom of every deprivation league table going. That old canard "it will put Sandwell on the map" is being waddled out (and as the games will be - and already are - being heavily marketed with OUR money as the BIRMINGHAM games, this is absurd). The Labour morons said the cost would be just £15m. That doubled to £30m immediately and has doubled again to £60m! Labour say (and you folk trust them "lol") that most of the money will come from the Games organisers, Sport England, the Government etc (ie us taxpayers) but there is talk currently of the cost TO SANDWELL being £27 million!!! Two swimming pools will close and be replaced by one. This should free up other sites for redevelopment and cut maintenance costs etc but Sandwell will end up paying through the nose for this ghastly vanity project!

And many of you will have had letters like this drop through your letterbox recently - Cllr Eling (as was) has forced yet another Council Tax hike through yet again but the money for this crap has to be raised somehow!

And once the lovely green space is gone, it is gone for ever.......

Of course, there are laws etc designed to protect local people when this sort of b*llocks is proposed. But Sandwell Labour are, literally, a law unto themselves. They work on the basis that no-one has got any money to sue to them and so they can f*ck you prats who live there over any time they like. Once the political decision was made by Labour to destroy Londonderry the usual tactics were applied.

As it is the Council's own project to destroy green space they had to "consult" with folk. There WAS extensive consultation with, er, local swimming clubs. Hardly surprisingly, they were all for it! Jan Britton, the head of Sandwell's bent paid service, then said that all nearby residents had been consulted by letter which came as a shock to local residents as the vast majority had received NOTHING!

A local group was set up to protect the Fields (Facebook - Save Londonderry Lane Playing Fields) but it is like trying to push water up hill as bent Labour are determined to force this through. Groups really need to learn lessons from all this. People are - voluntarily - working really hard on top of their day jobs and often facing unpleasantness but certain elementary errors are still being made. There is a knee-jerk reaction to sign a petition but when it comes to planning - and as we shall see - these are useless. I have warned against this on this blog - eg when Cllr Liam Preece shafted local residents in respect of advertising hoardings at Ray Hall Lane by encouraging locals to sign a petition instead of making proper planning objections (see further below). I have warned other organisations/groups but many are simply not listening....

Despite the fact that bent Sandwell want to plonk a large public building on a green space in a residential area the Council's new "Regeneration" supremo, Amy Harhoff, has written a letter saying that NO environmental impact assessment is necessary! This is absurd and another example of the comrades just p*ssing over local people on the basis that no-one has the money to take this to a judicial review.

The planning application is being forced through at Mach 10 but even that is not quick enough for this corrupt Council and so Midland Forestry Limited recently appeared on site before planning permission has been granted and chopped down 22 healthy trees (they have not answered my email about this wanton destruction so if you want to try them for an explanation the email address is enquiries@midlandforestry.co.uk)! The meadow has also been mowed into extinction. With regard to the trees in this rigged process Cllr Linda Horton confirmed that this was done urgently to prevent delays in the building process by, er, nesting birds!

From Facebook Group:

I attended the planning meeting on 13th March where the campaign group's Keith Price ably went in to bat to stop this farce. As an objector he was allowed 5 minutes only. (The speakers for the Games group were allowed two speakers to promote the white elephant).

It is always difficult to know with the comrades whether those purporting to be against a scheme are showboating to give the whole rubber-stamping exercise a veneer of legality. Cllr Jackie Taylor blathered on for a few minutes on a point that was hard to detect but did - unless this was fixed beforehand - vote against the scheme. The most arrogant man in Sandwell (even WORSE than the Squealer) Cllr Bob "Seig Heil" Piper did validly ask about an air quality assessment and a Council apparatchik confirmed that SMBC had simply decided not to bother to do one! Piper and the Planning Committee thought that one should be done both in respect of the Games use of the building and the later use as a leisure centre! With that agreed Piper was happy to vote for the crazed plan.

The committee were simply told of the 240-strong petition from local residents but this was then ignored. It was pointed out that there were only EIGHT letters of objection for this pile of crap!

At risk of the moral Cowards in Blue deliberately twisting my words, here are the comrades voting. These people need to be POLITICALLY destroyed by all legal means for this vandalism as soon as possible (although the Party itself is culling some of the sheep):

These are the wreckers:

Keith Davies, Sue Downing, Sue Eaves, Joy Edis, Elizabeth Giles, Luke Giles, Bob "Seig Heil" Piper, Paul Sandars (cemetery fetishist and chair - not in shot), Rajbir Singh and Julie Webb.

(As an aside Cllr Costigan has missed all three planning committee meetings so far this year!)

After the meeting Piper took to social media to deride local people and jibe that the campaign had only led to 8 objections despite over 1,000 letters allegedly having been sent out (totally ignoring the petition). The official line from the Council appears to be that it doesn't matter if the fields are destroyed because the comrades have got grants to tart up West Smethwick Park! If it were true (!) that the land is of no value to local people then it could have been commercially marketed and sold but he and his chums want to wreck it instead and waste huge sums on this dump.

THIS MATTER IS NOW DUE TO GO BEFORE THE FULL COUNCIL ON TUESDAY 9TH APRIL AT 6PM. IF YOU CARE ABOUT THE ENVIRONMENT IN SANDWELL, POISONOUS AIR QUALITY AND THE EVER INCREASING DESTRUCTION OF REMAINING GREEN SPACES PLEASE TURN UP FROM 5PM ONWARDS AND MAKE YOUR VIEWS KNOWN OUTSIDE THE OLDBURY COUNCIL HOUSE.

Just think - in a few years time your children and grandchildren may see pictures on the Fields and other green spaces in Sandwell and ask you what YOU did to try and save these precious places. Please don't let your answer be "Me? I did f*ck all"!

2 M'lud -  Wednesbury Sleeper Factory

Slightly different from the above but a similar disregard for local residents even though London-resident Tom Watson "MP" and Labour Cabinet members Cllrs Simon "The Sandwell Slasher" Hackett and Dave "Menage a Deux" Hosell are pretending to be opposing another rotten scheme. As ever, Watson is not to be trusted as another of his employees and puppet councillors Paul "The Cipher" Moore is pushing FOR the project.

In short, Network Rail and associates want to build a huge factory on the Bescot Rail sidings. This is right next to the motorway (opposite the Walsall ground) where air quality is terrible (although bent Sandwell Council have suggested - apparently without irony - that the prevailing winds mean that most of the sh*t is blown across into Walsall and f*ck them!)

The factory is intended to make huge quantities of concrete railway sleepers and Network Rail and Co keep claiming that much of the stuff will be transported by rail which does rather beg the question why they are talking about large numbers of, er, lorries visiting the site on a daily basis????

Recently members of the campaign group showed me around (follow them on Facebook at "People of Wednesbury Say No to Network Rail"). The original plan was to put in an access road to the south-east of the site across heavily polluted former industrial land. The bent Council gave a lease for this land under "delegated" authority (which according to the Council's constitution is for decisions up to £100,000). The corrupt paid service said the consideration for the lease is £1 therefore within the delegated authority BUT there is an option in the agreement for Network Rail etc to BUY the land for £125,000 ie seemingly outwith the delegated power. The campaigners have repeatedly asked Jan Britton (the head of the bent paid service) who gave this authority but he is refusing to say (I have also been refused a reply).

The new plan is to put the access road from the North-East. Quite how this is going to work with Tame Bridge Station in the way is a moot point. The traffic is also absolutely horrendous in this area and so the prospect of hundreds of lorries thundering around too is mind-boggling.

An interesting point made by the campaigners is that there are some of these factories in Germany BUT the Germans don't allow them anywhere near housing! Make sure you ask Watson, Hackett and Hosell about that!

The planning application is going in soon. The group are very sensibly arranging their own postal system in local shops so that folk can put in their own individual objections AND the group can deliver them so that a tally is kept and the corrupt Council cannot "lose" any of them. Before that, however, Network Rail are holding two days of consultation at Walsall Football Club. Please attend if humanly possible and let Network Rail know your robust views:

FRIDAY 29TH MARCH - 2PM TO 8PM

SATURDAY 30TH MARCH - 10AM TO 2PM.

And finally,

If you are wondering what Watson is doing about Brexit (answer - nothing) he made his views well known eg in this tweet from 2016 but although locals are pro-Brexit, and all his myriad faults, locals still re-elected him in 2017! In many way folks - you do bring all this sh*t down upon yourselves!
