BREAKING NEWS - Brunswick Park Lodge Scandal

I am indebted to a reader for discovering the latest horror story from the Wednesbury Labour mafia.

Despite some Labour Councillors having two homes these money-grubbers have been vociferous in claiming that the housing crisis in Sandwell is not their fault despite their failure over four and a half decades in power. They persistently scream about the need for more council housing ignoring the scandals relating to allocations over the years, the "right to buy" fiddles, the lack of new-builds and the poor quality of some of the existing stock. 

The bent Labour Council had some houses let on "service tenancies" - rented to staff - and sometimes in desirable locations, at least by Sandwell standards. Who can forget that the former Parks supremo John Satchwell Snr managed to buy one which he did up and put on the market for a very tidy sum.

People are beginning to ask why the Lodge at Brunswick Park (pictured) appears to be empty when there is such need for housing in the Borough. And if Labour think it is too good for rent then sell it and use the proceeds for something shittier for what they perceive to be local scum to live in.

The reader has discovered that the property has been empty since 2019 (which seems to indicate for AT least one year) and it has not been offered to tenants or for sale on the open market. My tenacious correspondent then discovered that the reason for this was that Wednesbury Labour front-organisation "The Friends of Brunswick Park" want it for some sort of community use! In other words, it is wanted as a taxpayer-funded loss-making plaything for the likes of Costigan, Zorro Hughes and the ghastly Giles clan!

This Labour Front now only shows one trustee, a Terence Mcdermott (which is unusual for a charity) but we all know who is pulling the strings and Sandwell Council definitely know so how are they trying to force this bent deal through? I don't know if Terry Mc was the only Trustee for the last three years but whoever they were they failed to file their accounts with the Charity Commission for 2017 until 568 days late and were 204 days late for the 2018 numbers. This blog and others made the late filing public and the trustee(s) filed the 2019 accounts on time. The Charity Commission is not publishing the full accounts now on the website but the total income for the year was just £5,746. And so this is a pisspot organisation with a sole trustee and a history of very poor govenance negotiating to steal a valuable asset from us taxpayers.

(The usual modus operandi of Wednesbury Labour is to get a grant from the Council and then show to grant-making bodies that there is already money in the bank toleverage more out of them!)

In any event Sandwell is awash with "community spaces". Many pay no rates. Indeed it is worse since there are no endowments with these properties and so the bent Labour Council doles out money to keep them going whilst they scratch around for other grants (often from other taxpayer-funded outfits.) It is noteworthy that at one of the meetings when Labour decided to f*ck you all over with the Commonwealth Games paddling pool Cllr Bill Gavan "lol" was asked what would happen to the redundant Smethwick Baths. Of course, none of this had even been considered in the desperate rush to blow your money on a vanity project and he muttered that it might be suitable for some sort of "community use" - so another massive hidden cost of the disastrous "socialist" w*nk for years or even generations to come.

After all the fraud and the cons set out in this blog are Labour trying to do another backdoor deal instead of using the house as it was until last year as a residence or selling it. Lets see if Chief Executive David Stevens has a bigger pair of balls than Jan Britton!

If you want to rent it or buy the lodge contact Sandwell Council as they have a legal obligation to get the best price possible if they dispose of it. Keep a record though since, in the past - especially during the Jan Britton years - such offers mysteriously got "lost" (eg. on the plot of land sold to Cllr Rouf's son - posts passim as nauseum).

Carters Green

There is nothing the bent Labour Council likes more than to blow its own trumpet despite their obvious failings over a mere 46 years. Who can forget that at the height of the corruption under Jan Britton and Nick Bubalo (who didn't see or know anything) they were awarded a prestigious, er. planning award! Now they are bragging about an award for the "redevelopment" at Carters Green - the area of West Brom where a friend of mine is afraid to walk alone at night.

But all the PR from the comrades didn't cut much ice with users of the excellent "I Live in West Bromwich" Facebook Group. Here are just a few of the comments:

AH: Waste of money less parking and has caused more congestion

JW: What a load of crap completely spoilt carter's green causes traffic jams on the big island every day a complete waste of taxpayers money

SM: Even if its Paved with Gold revitalised is a bit strong for ruining

LE: Absolute dump of an area

KPO: Load of [double turd emojis] and a waste of money!!

CB: worse than before.

WT: It is horrible there now when you think how it used to be, such a shame.

VOX POPULI, VOX DEI!

Hate Mail

The pathetic "comrades" of Sandwell Labour are adept at smearing people - including their own side. Back in the days of the late Smethwick wife-beater, Darren Cooper, we saw that "anonymous" letters were received and used to try to destroy (then) Labour Councillors Mick Davies and Jayne Wilkinson.

They are still at it today as the Labour Group is torn down the middle in a bitter civil war which continues to rage despite the small matter of a global pandemic actually killing Sandwell folk. 

It's ancient history I know but I just happened to come across a classic example of the sheer vindictiveness of this lot recently and the sheer stupidity of some of the opposition parties in Sadders who think Labour will box by Marquess of Queensberry Rules whereas they need to learn that they are in a cage fight with these sh*tbags.

And the opposition should start to acquaint themselves with the contents of this blog before they cosy-up to this hate-filled bunch.

Labour drove Jayne Wilkinson out but she joined the Green Party and even though, at that time, she had no chance of winning a seat with them Cooper and Co still wanted to destroy her completely.

Thus a Mr Paul Kerton wrote to Aldo Mussi of the Green Party making inane insinuations about Jayne and claiming that he was considering "voting green at the next election" but was not now going to do so. Mr Mussi took this complaint seriously and raised the matter with Jayne in December, 2014. But if Mr Mussi had read a Skidder post in August, 2014:

http://thesandwellskidder.blogspot.com/2014/08/twitter-troll-no-1-paul-kerton.html

he would have immediately realised that Kerton was a foul-mouthed weirdo troll close to the Smethwick Scumbag and told the Labour stooge to "do one!". Incredibly back then and given his vicious, abusive, trolling, Kerton was an employee in a Sandwell school! Oh yes, and he and his step(?) brother Labour Councillor Stephen Frear (another big pal of the Turdmeister) shared a council house together.

I thought of this the other day when one of the local Liberals was gallantly letting Labour off the hook for 46 years of sh*te and wondered whether the opposition would ever "get real". There's an election next May and so time is running out...

Photos Please

Part One:   The Skidder is expanding and there will be some exciting news soon. I am always looking for interesting photos of Sadders for use on this blog and across a new suite of social media sites. You can help by letting me have pics with confirmation that I may use them. If you wish me to credit you when using your image please say and I shall be very happy to do so.

Part Two:   A Labour Councillor and her associate in West Brom are trying to harm this blog and stop you reading the truth about the Rotten Borough. I am dealing with them but they have attempted to claim copyright for photos which they have put on social media or otherwise in the public domain. 

I have now written to ALL Sandwell Councillors asking then for either a photo I can use or permission to use their image as used on the Sandwell Council website. Incredibly only four Councillors bothered to respond. Cllrs Yvonne Davies, Ian Jones, Olwen Jones and Joanne Hadley all gave me written permission to use their website photo. But they are only elected members and so they have no say and the bent Council's highly conroversial Monitoring Officer, Surjit Tour, has directly countermanded their instructions (without consultation with them!)

In the circumstances, if YOU have any photos of Sandwell Councillors either on council or political party business that you can let me use, please send them to me. PLEASE NOTE THAT COUNCILLORS DO HAVE A RIGHT TO PRIVACY AND SO PLEASE DO NOT PHOTOGRAPH THEM WHEN THEY ARE OUT AND ABOUT CONDUCTING THEIR NORMAL BUSINESS (UNLESS THERE IS AN OVERWHELMING PUBLIC INTEREST EG WHEN FIVE COUNCILLORS ATTENDED A MEETING AT A BIRMINGHAM RESTAURANT IN BREACH OF COVID REGULATIONS.) The golden rule is council or party business only please.
