Homelessness Sandwell-style!

Labour are quick to criticise the Government for the austerity measures brought in after. er. Labour left the coffers bare following the Great Crash. But the comrades at Labour Sandwell Council (mired for years in fraud, cronyism and corruption) are great ones to pontificate on all this whilst failing to practise what they preach. No surprise there then!

Back in 2011 the "socialist" Labour Council paid its staff so badly that two employees (and, ironically, GMB Union officials) - a married couple Darren and Sarah James - were eligible for council housing and were allocated a house in Friar Park. Alas, they have recently split-up and Darren has been given his marching orders.

Darren and Sarah have been swanning around in a smart 2018 Toyota hybrid car which is said to be on a lease scheme via, er, Sandwell Council at a very high monthly payment. Regretably the news is full of folk currently having to live in their vehicles and not ones as posh as Dazza's. Happily not the case here.

Addendum: 11/03/21: there is a legal notice on all blogs wherein I clearly state that I will rectify any accidental error or discuss how to rectify any other error. I received no complaint about this post but have now discovered that the next three paragraphs are inaccurate and that Mr James found accomodation privately. You will see that a draft of the post was sent to him pre-publication but he declined to comment

It is alleged that he declared himself homeless and was immediately found a council flat in a much-sought after block in Wednesbury (which used to be reserved for older folk.) SMBC have confirmed to The Skidder that ALL flats in the block are Council-owned.

Thus the two employees now appear to have two council properties. And The Skidder has seen the homeless person's expensive car outside the block on more than one occasion!

How marvellous that the super-efficient Sandwell comrades have no housing problem at all and can immediately accommodate marital mis-fits!

Caption Competition

An excellent entry for The Skidder caption competition - a rather good twist on Inane's fall from grace...



HELP PLEASE

1   The James's again. I URGENTLY need information on ANY address occupied by the James's between Haig Street and the current Friar Park address. £100 to the first person who can supply any detail on this.

2   The name Cathi Dodd keeps cropping up as a close friend of the James's and in respect of one particular incident. Why?

3   A curious story - a few years old. An allegation that a constituency officer at Terry Duffy House was sacked after being caught masturbating in the office. Info please! [Note this is a different person to the Labour "phone wanker"!]
