He's Finally Gone - Darren Carter OUT (+ more!)

BREAKING NEWS: CARTER OUT!

At long last the pathetic s. 151 Finance Officer of bent Labour Sandwell Council has been booted out BUT HOW MUCH HAS THIS COST YOU? Darren Carter (pictured standing without a tie) was a pathetic grovelling rimmer of the Labour Dictatorship and there was surprise when he was given the top Finance job by disgraced former "Leader" Steve "Squealing" Eling. As ever the suspicion was that his promotion owed more to the use of his (brown) tongue rather than the use of his brain.

Even in "the day job" there have been questions about Carter's ability and the very considerable delays in the presentation of the audited accounts - a matter of great concern for a Labour Council tainted with widespread corruption. fraud and incompetence. But, as exclusively reported by this blog, it was the unlawful suspension of the Cabinet secretaries which put the skids under him (posts passim as nauseum).

You can read the full tale elesewhere in this blog but Sandwell's nasty and highly controversial Monitoring Officer, Surjit Tour, held a "private" meeting with Labour Councillors on the Standards Committee the day before they were due to preside over the show-trial of Cllr Ian Jones. This shocking action was leaked and a witchhunt started to find the leaker. The Cabinet secretaries - with over 100 years of service between them -were fingered as the guilty parties. A male Labour Councillor with access to the executive areas of the Oldbury Kremlin was heard shouting "I want the f*ckers [ie the loyal secretaries] out and I don't want the f*ckers back!" It is hard to imagine who would be physically proximate to all this and have the power to abuse these women in this way and Squealing Eling has been widely touted as the piece of scum responsible for this vile outburst although he specifically denies any involvement.

Jan Britton, Darren Carter, Lousie Lawrence, former employee Stuart Taylor and other employees became involved to seek retribution for the leak of Tour's actions and Carter took the lead in the absurd decision to wrongly suspend the unfortunate women. As regular readers will know the likes of Cllr Yvonne Davies (another defenestrated leader) and David Stevens (appointed Chief Exec by Davies after no proper competitive process) then fought tooth and nail to prevent disclosure of the truth at a Tribunal hearing with Davies and Stevens actively pushing the line to the Tribunal that it was the women themselves who didn't want full dislcosure of the truth! Nevertheless, the process DID flush out a considerable amount of evidence and the fingerprints of Carter himself were everywhere.

The strange thing is that Carter himself decided to take the blame for this shaming degringolade and to protect his political masters at all costs. He too has persisently stated that there were no councillors involved (which is not true anyway as the documents show "briefings" etc) and that the incredible and monumental disaster was entirely due to his own stupidity and ineptitude and that of the "expert" SMBC HR Department. As soon as this started to become apparent this blog immediately - and rightly - started calling for him to face disiplinary action and dismissal without compensation.

We know that Sandwell Labour run a dysfunctional and corrupt outfit where loyalty to the Party trumps any attempt to act in a proper way and it seems incredible that Carter would have admitted that he seemingly has sh*t for brains unless he had been given the nod that he would be "protected". And when the excrement began to hit the fan a whole bunch of pathetic "socialists" - including women - signed a letter to try and prevent him facing disciplinary action for his shocking treatment of female employees. When you see these arsewipes out and about ask them why on earth they supported the pathetic plank:

As it is the highly-paid Carter has been suspended on full pay for many months and so WE have picked up the tab for him to sit at home during a time of crisis. SMBC have now stated that he has left by reason of "redundancy" which almost certainly means he has also received a pay-off despite his appalling conduct! 

Carter is not out of the woods yet. It certainly looks like he was directly involved in setting up a secret £300,000 (yes, three hundred thousand pounds) fund to destroy me and this blog and he may well face serious repercussions from that too. And maybe the comrades have paid him off (with OUR money) to ensure he keeps his mouth shut as per many other examples...

Sandwell may be mired in poverty after 46 years of Labour but thanks to taxpayers the Carter family won't be down the foodbank any time soon! Kerching!

The Lying Nurse

There are documented historical examples of manias breaking out during plague periods and the absurd glorification of the NHS during Covid seems to be one such. Don't get me wrong, I support a (reformed) NHS (mostly because the economic case at present is that it would be too expensive to switch to a different funding system). 

Before Covid (remember that?) anyone of my advanced years will tell you many stories of wonderful treatment from the NHS but also many horror stories. Personally I have mostly had superb treatment though there have been some bumps in the road. And in the final years of my mother's life her extensive treatment veered from the astonishingly good to the appallingly bad.

A few days ago Labour Cllrs (and rebels against the current leadership) Kerrie Carmichael and "Inane" Elaine Costigan were pleasuring each other with tweets singing the praises of Russells Hall Hospital. Almost simultaneously, er, Russells Hall Hospital apologised for their shocking misdiagnosis of a man who then needlessly died of sepsis. We have recently seen very poor maternity services pilloried at Shrewsbuty/Telford. And who can forget kindly old Dr Harold Shipman?

But now neighbours are shunned if they don't stand on their doorsteps and applaud the NHS and even the Tories cannot stop saying how marvellous it is. There is no objectivity in any of this. The NHS may be good but it is far from being the world-beater oft claimed. Indeed it was 18th in the world via the latest WHO efficiency rankings. And many countries that do not have a "free at the point of delivery" system like ours have performed very well indeed during Covid without any congratulation from our mulish and insular populace.

So yes, support the NHS but help it improve where you can. Unfortunately, however, the organisation is such a political issue that any attempt at reform is seen as an "attack" on the organisation's principles. This is absurd and has to change.

The NHS is a massive employer and it is inevitable that there are going to be some rotten apples in the barrel. And Labour and the Unions have thousand of stooges within the Service ready to push their perverted ideology irrespective of the facts. Thus we come to an extraordinary incident early in the pandemic when someone who claimed to be a nurse at Walsall Manor Hospital tweeted that the angels there were desperately short of "refreshments". This immediately seemed odd to me given that morons were queuing outside hospitals to present often grossly obese staff with boxes of sweets and biscuits.

Various official and unofficial enquiries were duly made and the NHS itself and others confirmed that the story was TOTALLY UNTRUE. That should have been the end of matter - just another crazy on Twitter spreading "fake news" - except that the then Leader of Sandwell Council, Cllr "Red" Yvonne Davies saw the tweet...

Red Yvonne has many admirable qualities and, unlike many of her "comrade" councillors has some intellect, integrity and personal bravery - which is probably why the likes of Costigan, Hughes, Edwards and Co despise her. But as with anyone who is prepared to live their life accordingy to the diktats of a warped dogma the "red mist" came down and Cllr Davies said that she was going to immediately ensure that food in the Council's Hub would be diverted from the needy and vulnerable of Sandwell and delivered to local hospitals (where our heroes were well-stocked and all on full pay).

SMBC now refuse to identify the nurse but say that he or she was working on Ward 2 of Walsall Manor Hospital (and I may be wrong but I somehow thought that this building was not in Sandwell!) Furthermore Sandwell Council say that they not only confirmed the identity of this lying f*ckwit but contacted him or her (again, even though Walsall Manor is not in Sandwell).

I will soon be writing about Sandwell Labour's "fake" charity "Sandwell Leisure Trust" (SLT) but suffice to say here that, legally at least, SLT is a completely seperate organisation from the Council (although wholly reliant on it). SLT was closed down by Covid and so "donated" the contents of its vending machines to the Council's food hub. On 20th April, with the permission of SLT, Sandwell Labour decided to f*ck over Sandwell residents yet again and delivered refreshments which were NOT required to Walsall Manor Hospital. All this from a false and poisonous tweet!

With no other evidence of need these t*ssers also sent SLT stuff to Russells Hall and New Cross Hospitals which are also outside the Borough!

I keep saying these people are morons. When are you finally going to listen Sandwell?

(PS can anyone identify the nurse please?)

Sandwell Leader Maria Crompton Refuses to Condemn Vile Abuse

Councillor Joanne Hadley has been suspended by the Labour Party in respect of complaints based on a very dodgy tape "acquired" by Cllr M Y Hussain ("Billa") and his grovelling sidekick and self-appointed spokesperson, Basharat Khan. Since making their complaint this pair have ALSO been suspended by Labour in this rottenest of Rotten Labour Boroughs! Khan has been putting up tweets singing the praises of the woman he has tried to destroy. Here is the latest:

Despite the dubious complaint and the retractions the national Labour party has not removed the Councillor's suspension and seems intent on involving its funders in yet another costly legal disaster. In the meantime, in a recent post I referred to the astonishing abuse of Cllr Hadley on Twitter from troll accounts connected with someone I can now name,  ex-Labour Councillor David Hosell. I sent this email to the Interim Leader asking if she condemned the attacks on a Councillor but once you are out of Labour you are out and there has been on response from Cllr Crompton.

"Nov 26, 2020, 3:13 PM

Dear Cllr Crompton,

THIS IS NOT A PRIVATE AND CONFIDENTIAL COMMUNICATION - PRESS ENQUIRY

I am writing to you in your capacity as the current Leader of Sandwell Council. I appreciate that Sandwell is completely tribal and that Labour only acts in the interest of itself. Also that Cllr Jo Hadley is currently suspended by the Party.

However, you arguably have a wider role in acting for the whole community of the Borough and also ensuring the lawful governance of the Council. As Leader you surely have a moral duty of care to all Councillors irrespective of their current Party status. Or do you disagree?

I am sure you will be aware that ex-Labour Councillor David Hosell and others have been running an extremely abusive social media trolling campaign against a number of people (including myself). West Midlands Police are fully aware of this but have chosen to do nothing.

Recently the Hosell network has poured forth an incredibly obscene and abusive stream of invective to harass and demean Cllr Hadley - again with no action from WMP.

I could send you many screenshots the Skidder team have collected but this recent one stands out as being particularly offensive.

Do you condemn this sort of repulsive attack on a Sandwell Councillor?;

Noting that the Chief Constable of West Midlands is refusing to investigate the Hosell trolling network will you use your office to refer this police inactivity to the four local MP's, the West Midlands Police and Crime Commissioner and the Home Secretary? If not why not?

I believe I am right in saying that Hosell is a tenant of SMBC xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.

I am sure Skidder readers will be interested in what action, if any, you take in this matter."

We have seen time and time again that the Bent Blues are determined not to police the Labour Council. Why they want to protect someone as awful as Hosell is anyone's guess although this picture of Dave with Jan Britton's Oldbury Police puppet may or may not be instructive.

Bescot Planning Fiddle

Rather late in the day the bent Labour Council are sending me a large dossier about the crazed scheme to build a factory next to housing at Bescot (exciting Christmas reading lol!). The plan was backed and promoted by bent Sandwell Labour until the local peasants revolted and a brilliant campaign by Carol White, Wayne Trinder and many, many, others defeated the plan.

Whilst I await the dossier here is a letter from the corrupt Council I came across recently from their pals at the Black Country Local Enterprise Partnership - a bunch of unelected greasers like Ninder Johal - who unfortunately have influence in the planning process. Even though there was a huge local campaign against the absurd plan here are two sentences from a letter these "enemies of the people" sent in support of the planning application.

I think we need to start to monitoring these sh*tbags don't you readers?

Letter to Sandwell Council Planners - 19/09/19

I am writing to confirm the support from the Black Country Local Enterprise Partnership for the Bescot Sleeper Factory in Sandwell...

The BCLEP are happy to work alongside Network Rail and Sandwell MBC to promote this scheme and support this through the planning and delivery stages to ensure the facility opens in September 2021.

May 2021 Elections

The bent Labour Council has confirmed that it erases the records of persons nominated for elections once the election is over. It is interesting for Sandwell-watchers to view these documents and given real concerns that, once again, Labour candidates are getting away with giving false addresses at election time (more anon!) So take a print folks if there is anything dodgy going on...

STOP PRESS - SANDWELL DISGRACED AGAIN!

Whilst writing this local Tory MP, Shaun Bailey, popped up on the TV asking a question in the House of Commons. Quite rightly he was asking why sh*thole Labour Sandwell is currently BOTTOM of the league table for school attendance. Shaun pointed out that in Sandwell - where, incidentally,  the Labour-appointed Director of Public Health has been a very vocal critic of Government policy - the recent attendance was just 37%. Even the left-wing Guardian mentioned this:

This is even worse than other Labour sh*tholes like Rochdale, Oldham and Tower Hamlets!!!

Sandwell Labour have recently been boasting about how poor and deprived the Borough is after 46 years of their control. They know that a lot of Sandwell parents are as thick as two short planks (not least because they vote Labour or just can't be arsed to vote at all) and they must now discourage these people from visiting their own failure upon their children.
