Caz, Dave & John Kelly Pile On The Skidder!

Sometimes writing this blog is surreal - particularly with some of the muppets in Sadders! Last night and this morning brought a bizarre series of attacks on me falsely claiming I don't know where I live!

Let me tell you a story. When I started this blog I got a constant stream of very nasty threats via burner phones threatening me with death or extreme violence and to burn my house down. In the latter case those making the threats told me my address to confirm they knew where I live. Inspector Rowe, then at Sandwell Police, gave me the reassuring advice that there was nothing West Midlands Police could do and I should phone 999 if I was in danger!

I wrote in this blog how I was physically threatened in Oldbury on one occasion and that, on another day, I had to hide in a bus queue outside Sainsbury's while some men in a Range Rover whom I knew to be connected with a certain person cruised round and round Oldbury looking for me. 

The late wife-beater, Cooper, messaged saying that he was going to drive over to my wife's enployers (for unspecified purposes) and messaged me with my address and the words "is this where you live"? As it is he and SMBC wrote two letters to my wife's employers trying to get her sacked from her job for the sole reason that she is married to me!

I have made it very clear that I do not live in Sandwell (though visit very regularly in non-Covid times so that I can write this blog) and even mentioned that Sajid Javid is my MP (notably when disclosing that his top cop brother attended at least some meeting about the bent Public deal). "Saj" is, of course, the MP for Bromsgrove.

When it became apparent that anyone intending to do me harm already knows where I live I started putting my address on these blog posts and this has been the case for a considerable while - since sometime in 2018. It has actually been very useful in that quite a few people prefer writing to me anonymously than communicating via electronic means (and keep the info coming folks!)

Where I have lived for almost 37 years has a Birmingham address and half of the estate where I live is in Birmingham. But the old County line runs through the middle so that I actually live in the Wythall West Ward of Bromsgrove in the County of Worcestershire.

This creates some oddities eg, when Worcestershire was in a lower Covid Tier than Brum it was not a lot of use since I cannot leave the estate by road without travelling into Brum!

I am, of course, plagued with trolls on social media and a new one had a go at me yesterday about the figures for Birmingham saying I live there. Well I don't and said so. This cause apoplexy with married ex-Cllr Dave Hosell and his girlfriend, Sandwell Councillor Caz White. Via his Delboy Twitter account Dave started having a go insisting that my address IS in Birmingham and Caz joined in too - as did members of Dave's "network". Strangely, Dave tried to intimidate me recently by driving past my house and putting the photos on Twitter (with disparaging remarks natch!)

But who should jump in too but local Labour activist and bearded Eling Rimmer Extraordinaire, Bearwood's very own John Kelly. Kelly purports to be an intelligent man and a stickler for detail but started to harass me about the matter. He claimed that I was "coy" about my address - when it has been on this blog since 2018 (and would have been on a lot sooner but for the death threats etc!) He then made the defamatory allegation that I "lied" about my address but, again, it has been on this blog since 2018!

Labour's Kelly bombarded me with tweets in a form of trolling called "sealioning". This guy is an official of a branch of the Labour Party and some even say he wants to get on the Council so that, if true, he is sh*tting his nest before he has even started! 

If these nasty clowns had just googled my postcode there are a myriad sites which would have given them the answer but they were too thick and/or lazy to do that. Kelly - supposedly a political animal - also knew Sajid Javid is my MP but still continued harassing me!

Both Cllr Caz and Dave then put my address on Twitter. Whilst I can do that, it is a clear breach of Twitter rules for others to put up a user's address. Result - Twitter locked both accounts until they took the posts down and promised to obey the rules! Muppets - though evil ones and Dave has already had a number of accounts suspended and works with others to harass me and, of course, Darryl Magher. Yet again WMP do nothing about his nefarious activity.

I have had an awful lot of "silent" calls lately and it was rather weird last night. Twitter locked Caz's account at 21.47 and from 22.30 to 22.37 I had 10 silent calls. Caz specifically states these were not from her or Dave (though how she would know the latter during lockdown is, in itself, a mystery!)

Help Please

I am still very interested in the shennanigans at the top of Sandwell and West Birmingham NHS Trust and new info has just come to hand. Contact please - in confidence - details below.

Labour Sandwell Blame Covid Spread on Workers!

I know I have been a tease about a big story but hopefully it will come soon. In the meantime I have discovered the reason for the downfall and disgrace of Jan Britton and hope to be able to bring you that in due course! In the meantime ...

Right Up The Workers

We have seen in this blog how Sandwell Labour boasted that they have a better Covid track and trace system than the national one and that they infamously crowed last year that they had Covid, er, licked. As ever this hubristic b*llocks was just, er, b*llocks and recently Sandwell had the WORST Covid infection rates in the whole country! (It is still the fifth worst in last week's recent stats.)

Are Labour to blame for any of this? Of course not. The fault lies with, er, WORKERS!

After 46 years of Labour failure, Sadders has above average unemployment and below average people in employment (a different, but telling, stat that includes many folk blighted by Labour poverty and who have simply given up trying to find work). You might think, therefore, that Sadders should have lower infection rates since less folk are actually working during lockdowns. (And, lest we forget, Red Yvonne and cronies forced the construction to continue for the Commonwealth Games paddling pool throughout the Covid crisis since this was an "essential", er Labour vanity, project.)

Now Labour Sandwell are bemoaning the fact that (a) Sandwell has a large population of uneducated, unskilled, people, and (b) after 46 years they have driven decent jobs away and are unable to attract new ones - seemingly not realising that their constant abuse of business people as "greedy scum" and "exploiters" is not conducive to real regeneration and wealth creation.

And so Labour are now saying that this worst infection figures anywhere has been because of no proper lockdown in Sadders. Worse, the people of Sandwell are all working in Covid-superspreading food processing plants and factories. Labour boast that they have more of these sh*t employers than anywhere else - particularly in the West Midlands. The "socialist" dictatorship allege that they became the worst local authority in the country because people in these Covid hotspots carried the disease home. So, if you work in low grade employment in Sandwell YOU are to blame for the dismal figures. Nice!

Yesterday I asked the bent Council for the statistics backing this up but Dave Stevens and Co unilaterally converted my request into a Freedom of Information request which they won't answer for weeks, or even months. (Happily the Birmingham Mail should have the stats so I may get them quicker). Addendum 27/02/21 - The Birmingham Mail have confirmed that they did NOT see the statistics when they published these allegations with information direct from Sandwell Council. Thus they cannot supply them to me.

Bearing in mind Maria Crompton, the temporary Labour Leader, boasted to my face about Sandwell's "brilliant" track and trace system, I also asked SMBC why it/the HSE had not been closing the alleged super-spreader work places down but that question has also been kicked into the FOI long grass.

I am sure Labour will try to claim that workers have been forced to work because of "poverty" and I have asked Cllr Crompton for a quote. To be fair I gave her short notice and she has family matters to attend to but I shall keep you posted. If any Cabinet members wish to comment in the interim feel free.

But don't forget to ask Labour candidates for the answers and statistics when they come touting for your votes soon! 


Addendum 25/02/21 - someone has emailed saying large numbers have been gathering in Dartmouth Park in the last couple of days so maybe best avoided!

Skidder Facebook Group - You Are Being Watched!

Sandwell Council are making yet another attempt to silence this blog and to destroy me financially. As part of the process they have divulged that they are spying on my Twitter and Facebook accounts. Given that every request to SMBC at present is met by a standard response that there may be a delay in replying because of the Covid crisis, many readers will find it surprising that staff, including in-house solicitors, have been delegated to this absurd task.

They have stated that they have surveillance on - our - Facebook Group, "The Sandwell Skidder - Speaking Truth To Power!". In a bizarre twist they are making a novel legal argument that Group members don't have brains and simply follow me as if I am some sort of messianic cult leader! (Mind you, someone did shout at me in the street, "Saunders, you're a cult!" At least that's what I thought they said lol!) They say that I am legally responsible for anything YOU choose to say in the Group as I "incite" you to make comments! I look forward to them trying to argue that one before a High Court Judge!

The Group is a "public" group but only Group members can make comments on it. It seems to me that we are the ones with nothing to hide and that we should not let the Labour dictatorship bully us into becoming a "private" group. Accordingly, I "incite" Group members to have their say and comment whether they think David Stevens (SMBC Chief Executive) authorising the spy campaign is a proper use of taxpayers' funds? And should we defiantly put two fingers up to this anti-free speech tyrrany and stay as a "public" group with nothing to hide?

The bent Labour Council is also, legally,  a data controller. Even though the public can read Group postings I am not at all sure that Stevens harvesting your personal data is lawful. I am taking professional advice on this.

If you are not intimidated by Labour why not show your support and join the Group?

Tea Cups at Dawn!

The full story is still unfolding (and all information welcome as ever) but there have been some very strange goings on in Wednesbury - or, at least, even stranger than normal. There has been an outbreak of vigilantism. Someone has set up "The Shopwatch and Safety Partnership" in the town but far from feeling safe, some shopkeepers are feeling distinctly intimidated! And there have been mysterious "patrols" of the Town Centre where there have been claims of threats of violence and of people being bitten by a dog (or dogs). It seems that this "group" even requested use of premises as a "lookout" for what they perceive to be "undesirables" on the streets.

The tea room in Union Street has been getting flak from a Mr Finnigan who, coincidentally, wants to set up a tea room by the old cinema. Mr Finnegan has said that he has "withdrawn his sponsorship" from the new "Partnership", whatever that means.

Addendum 27/02/21: I have just had a nice chat with Mr Finnegan who says that he does have issues with the existing tea rooms but says he is the victim. As we know, nothing usually happens in Wednesbury without the malign influence of Cllrs Elaine Costigan and Peter Hughes. Just to let you know that they declined to make a comment to you dear readers when I wrote to them about all this.

Another Tory Comes Out For Green Spaces!

Labour are intent on destroying all green spaces in Sandwell outside The Valley and Warley Woods. We saw in a recent post that when I wrote to the three Conservative MP's and Andy Street about saving Lion Farm Fields, James Morris MP was quick to say that he opposes any more destruction of green areas in Sadders.

Now Nicola Richards (MP for West Brom East) has replied, "I am of the belief that the precious green spaces here in Sandwell should be protected from development and I am running a similar campaign to protect green spaces in and around Wilderness Lane in Great Barr."

She added that, of course, electing a healthy contingent of Tory Councillors in may would produce strong opposition to the Labour open space wreckers within the Council chamber!

I have yet to hear from Shaun Bailey and Andy Street. The latter's failure to respond is rather troubling given Street's very close association with the proposed developer in the outrageous Lion Farm proposal but I know he has had a family bereavement and I will cut him some slack - for now!

Nicola's New Campaign Office

Between 2010 and 2015 former fat man Tom Watson was the joint laziest MP in Parliament (which was sufficient qualification for him to be elected as Deputy Leader of The Labour Party - ROFLMAO). That will come as no surprise to most folk in West Brom East who wonder what the f*ck he ever did for them? (And Sir Woodenarse, Keir Starmer, wants him back on the gravy train as an unelected Labour "Lord"!)

Meanwhile Nicola Richards (WBE) and Shaun Bailey (West Brom West) have been incredibly active. James Morris is in the Whips Office and my email account is clogged with reports of his hyper-activity.

Of course, London-based Labour MP Spellar is still as much use as the proverbial chocolate teapot.

Nicola will soon be opening a new constituency office in West Brom. Meanwhile there is a contact form via her website: https://www.nicolarichards.org.uk/contact

(BTW - I am not and never have been a member of the Conservative Party.)

2016

This is probably not for the general - but much appreciated - reader as it is very long but the third part of my "History of The Skidder" in now available. This is intended for use in Court and so is devoid of my usual satirical "humour" (and so a fairly dry read) - though presenting dispassionately the appalling conduct of Sandwell Labour in recent years. Part 3 covers, inter alia, the death of the wife-beater Cooper and the rise to the top [sic] of the tyrannical Eling. You may just want to dip in now and again here:

http://crowmultimedia.blogspot.com/2021/02/history-of-skidder-part-three.html

The Greens are Coming! Not Sure Where From But They Are Coming.

Those of us who are campaigning to save Lion Farm Fields and who fought to stop Labour destroying Londonderry Fields and Brandhall Golf Course are bemused by the total lack of support in recent times from The Green Party. Yet they tell me that they are going to field a slate of candidates in Sadders for the May elections. I have actually voted Green in recent elections and am totally stunned that people are going to be parachuted in who have done f*ck all to stop the Labour environmental (and other) destruction. Unless there are some remarkable candidates it pains me to say that a Green vote is a wasted vote in Sadders ...

And finally - don't forget your postal vote!

You CAN fight back against 46 years of Labour failure. Get a postal vote to avoid the worry of going out to the polling station. Apply now via:

Skidder Shorts #40 - Postal Voting

A short post as a couple of people have contacted me saying that they do not "trust" postal voting in Sandwell - which is not surprising given the fraud, cronyism and incompetence under the Labour dictatorship. Plus there have been numerous complaints specifically about Sandwell Labour allegedly using the postal system to their advantage.

Incidentally, a BBC journalist is interested in any stories where the "head of the household" coerces family members to vote in a certain way. If it is not too dangerous to get in touch then kindly do so.

As I write the elections are still due to run on 6th May. There are lots of seats up for grabs this year and a very real chance to badly damage the Labour dictatorship which has failed the Borough for 46 years (47 years come election day)! There are also elections for the West Midlands Mayor and the Police and Crime Commissioner (and at least Labour's horrendous Jamieson is standing down).

It is to be hoped that there will be no further lockdowns by election day but many of you will still be worried about going out. Many of you will be self-isolating, shielding or perhaps waiting the three weeks for your jab to become fully effective. Some of you, unfortunately, may be unwell. But postal voting is available - do not lose your chance to kick these sleazebags up the arse!

There are two types of postal vote - the "normal" postal votes and proxy votes.

Proxies are where you effectively give someone the right to vote for you - potentially a risky thing to do. Often this has been used in Sandwell where family members are spending periods of time abroad. I know one Labour Councillor who cast his/her own vote and two proxies not so long back. But thy are relatively rare beasts.

A very close personal friend has been an election officer for decades and I would trust him with my life. This is his personally-expressed view:

  • no system is 100% foolproof and, by way of example, election officials could tamper with the votes. This is, of course, a criminal offence and my friend cannot actuallt remember any prosecutions for this;
  • you should ONLY deal direct with the Council and not with political parties acting as intermediaries. He says there is nothing wrong in a party giving you a blank application form but, he says. that's as far as it goes. It is far better to do the whole thing via the Council and the relevant information link for Sandwell is set out below;
  • you should always return your postal vote yourself and not hand it to someone elese for delivery.
My friend's personal view is that if you see people going round collecting postal votes you should report this to both the local council election office and The Electoral Commission. Of course, this raises a problem in Sandwell due to the endemic corruption (and I categorically exclude Election Services in Sandwell here since they have have been exceptionally helpful in all the Skidder's dealing with them.). And David Stevens is a relatively new Returning Officer following the disgrace and downfall of Jan Britton so that I am sure he will want to play things by the book. Postal voting done directly via the Council itself is highly likely to be very safe!

At the last general election my wife and I had postal votes as we were supposed to be away on the big day. As it was we weren't, but we already had the postal vote. It was very easy to set up and do so think about it folks. It will take a lot of pressure off you at an already difficult time and let you have YOUR say about the Labour corruption and failure!

YOU HAVE UNTIL APRIL TO REGISTER BUT LOVELY SANDWELL COUNCIL ELECTION STAFF ARE UNDER PRESSURE DUE TO COVID SO TAKE ACTION NOW TO GIVE THEM PLENTY OF TIME TO PROCESS THE PAPERWORK!

Here is the link to sign up direct with Sandwell Council:

Skidder Legal Threat + Much More!

Yet again, bent Labour Sandwell Council are trying to close this blog down and stop you from being able to read the truth about the corruption, cronyism and incompetence within the shambolic Authority.

Of course, The Skidder has been the ONLY place to read about fraud and wrongdoing since late 2013 as Labour have an iron grip on local mainstream media (MSM) - especially the Express and Star and the BBC. And so it comes to something that even the Star are now having a go about the comrades trying to keep budget discussions secret:

https://www.expressandstar.com/news/local-hubs/sandwell/2021/02/18/sandwell-council-defends-secrecy-over-budget-discussions/

Before we get too excited about The Star growing a pair, one of the topics to be discussed in secret is "printing services" and one has to wonder whether this might affect, er, The Express and Star!

At present David Stevens, Chief Executive of Sandwell Council, and Labour stop-gap Leader Maria Crompton say that I cannot write ANYTHING about the Council's Director of Public Health and to even mention her name will be deemed to be "harassment"! So much for a free press ... 

Obviously I am contesting this and any future spurious legal claims intended to gag me, and to that end I am preparing a full history of my journalism via this blog. This will allow me to show to a court the depth and breadth of my journalism over many years and the major revelations I have made along the way - without any of the resources of the MSM. 

The "History" is already very long and only runs to the end of 2016! Thus it is probably not for the general reader - although it will form as a useful record of events when the day of reckoning finally comes for the Rotten Labour Borough.

If you want to "dip in" and read the sheer extent of the corruption and ineptitude Parts One and Two are now available via the Crow Multimedia blog (links below). These are factual histories without my usual scatalogical comments and my "humour" - as they are intended for court disclosure. Other parts will follow shortly:

Part One:

Stuart Taylor

If you are reading this Stuart can you contact me please? Details below.

Hackett - Part 783

The saga of Labour Cllr Hackett's absolutely pathetic and cowardly attempts to save his miserable skin is in the endgame and exposure of the truth is imminent. Yesterday there was a procedural hearing at Birmingham County Court:

This is yet more taxpayers' money wasted thanks to bent Labour's absolute determination to cover-up an incident where the facts are bleeding obvious. 

Curiously, even though I gave written about this subject for several YEARS, I was surprised to receive very important new information just this weekend. More anon but Jan Britton is a key player in the story lol!

James Morris MP

While Labour continue to try to destroy any remaining green spaces in Sandwell outside The Valley and Warley Woods (eg. Lion Farm Fields) and actually destroy others (eg. Londonderry Fields) I am pleased to have received a direct response from James Morris who has made a strong and absolutely unequivocal statement on this subject:

"... my consistent policy during my time as MP for Halesowen & Rowley Regis has been to oppose development on green space in Sandwell."

Clear "blue" water between one local Tory and the Labour bullsh*tters.

The Albion Foundation

Just a quick (non) up-date - there has been NO REPLY whatsoever from any of the Trustees at the time when they agreed accounts showing the Charity making large, unexplained, payments TO the Football Club. However the Foundation has seen fit to launch an abusive attack on me instead on social media via an employee. I am accused of "making-up" the figures when they appear in the Foundation's own published accounts!!!!

One of the non-responders is Labour MP, Preet Kaur Gill. 

I have written to one of the new Trustees, Nicola Richards MP, to investigate what went on here - before she was involved - but I still await a response.

I have written to the Premier League charity section about this but they too have failed to respond. The matter has been reported to The Charity Commission who say they are investigating!

In the meantime bent Labour Sandwell are continuing to do a "big deal" with The Foundation (more info very welcome)!

Labour Really Don't Care ...

I don't know what's wrong with The Star but they have also done another story where Labour Sandwell's shocking service has been exposed. Regular readers will know that the rotten Council NEVER admit fault (except in the Hackett case above lol - though there is another reason for that ...) on the basis that local people are either too thick to challenge them or too poor to sue them. It is noteworthy that the complainant in this sad case had to go to the Local Government Ombudsman for justice as there was no apology or compensation from the Labour-run circus:

https://www.expressandstar.com/news/local-hubs/sandwell/2021/02/17/700-compensation-for-delays-in-womans-care-but-council-cleared-of-her-death/

Ruin Your Career - Apply For A Top Job In Sandwell!

Before his disgrace and downfall Jan Britton's paid service was mired in scandal, and it was obvious that talented local government officers were unlikely to risk working in Sadders and tainting their own reputations.

As we have seen, Cllr "Red" Yvonne Davies promised, during her short stint as Leader, that there would be a nationwide search for candidates for the top job but, as ever with Sandwell Labour, this was more b*llocks and David Stevens was confirmed in the top job after a rigged "internal process" - held over the Christmas holidays (see blogs passim).

Stevens is a deeply ambitious man and has set about moulding the top tier to his liking eg. the rapid promotions of his protegee, Neil Cox. In the last few days an expensive recruitment agency has advertised for no less than five top posts - KERCHING! So if you are an ambitious officer out there who wants to make the career move equivalent of sh*tting yourself then why not apply to become Sandwell's new:

- Director of Finance (statutory s151 officer) to replace Carter;

- Director of Adult Social Care;

- Director of Housing (must have a very long brown-tongue);

- Director of Growth & Regeneration - ("entrepreneurs" welcome lol!)

- Director of Borough Economy (whatever the f*ck that is - counting the paperclips?).

There may be a global pandemic on but Stevens and Labour have obviously spent much time and money working on the new management structure. I am sure all locals will be so pleased with the result especially that the "Director of Regeneration & Growth" will now be the "Director of Growth & Regeneration" ROFLMAO!

And Don't Forget Your Postal Vote For May!

Hurrah (?) - Sandwell Labour's No. 1 (For Another Failure!)

THEY HAVE ONLY GONE AND DONE IT!

A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO THE SANDWELL LABOUR DICTATORSHIP GOT TO NUMBER ONE - THE PLACE WITH THE WORST COVID INFECTION RATES IN THE WHOLE COUNTRY!

AND THERE'S EVEN MORE COVID FAILURE:

In a recent post I mentioned that Labour Sandwell had got to second-spot in the whole country for Covid infections despite setting up its own "track and trace" system, which current Labour Leader Maria Crompton described to me as being "far better" than the Government one.

Based on their "brilliant" system these bullsh*tting morons boasted how well they were doing and this notorious headline was published last August by their friends at the Wolvo-C*suckers (aka The Express and Star):

But even if the track and trace system is as good as claimed (probably unlikely noting the poor delivery of most projects by the bent Borough) I questioned whether it was having much effect - particularly as folk were out and about in large numbers all round Sadders. And there was a clear campaign from all wings of the Council suggesting that opening schools was "unsafe" so that, before Christmas, Sandwell also hit the top spot in the whole country for having the WORST school attendance figures with a stonking 63% absent.

[David Stevens, the Chief Executive, has now sent me a legal letter and "requested" that I keep the contents "confidential". I cannot say more at this stage save that he is attempting to gag me from writing and telling you about the response of the paid service to the Covid crisis.]

[Also on legal matters from today there is a new "version 3" legal notice at the bottom of this blog. It's a bore but may I urge all of you to read it please!]

Recently, to quote local journo James Rodger of the Birmingham Mail:

"The Black Country borough has topped the charts with 1,698 new cases recorded in the seven days to January 31 - the equivalent of 517.0 cases per 100,000 people",

We should not be surprised that after 46 years of failure, Labour have put the sh*thole Borough in the news again - for all the wrong reasons. Oh, and by the way, they voted to put the Council Tax up AGAIN this week putting more pressure on hard-up local folk.

Meanwhile, Labour nationally have been running a massive campaign saying that people cannot self-isolate when they should because they are "too poor". And Sandwell is itself very poor after nearly half a century of decline under the comrades so that you would expect Labour to have been at the forefront of the effort to provide financial support for those self-isolating ...

But have a wild guess at the which Council is the subject on this newspaper headline from the E&S:

"LESS THAN ONE IN SIX TEST AND TRACE SUPPORT PAYMENTS APPROVED IN ?"

YES FOLKS - IT'S "SOCIALIST" SANDWELL!

This is the scheme for the employed and self-employed who are told to self-isolate but cannot work from home - exactly the people Labour claim to be championing (although they actually hate the self-employed).

Whilst Stevens is using taxpayers' money to try and silence the free press his paid service has managed to process just 16% of payments for desperate people (CIPD figures). Of 1,492 applications Dave's staff had processed just 232 claims, a figure local Conservative MP Shaun Bailey has quite properly called "disgraceful"! Perhaps a better reallocation of resources Mr Stevens?


Bogus Dogus

I keep teasing you with promises of a "new-look, new-improved Skidder" and hang-on in there folks as it is coming! This will include some live and recorded video footage from the mean dog-shit smeared streets of Sadders. 

In the past I have not made much use of video although the David Hosell film ("Hosell Loses It - Big Time") is, of course, a not-to-be-missed classic. Such as there is can be found on YouTube under the title: terminustrading 

I was just looking at the YouTube stuff a day or so ago and was surprised that my film, "Show Us Your Socks Ibrahim Dogus!" (link below) of the hapless Labour Candidate for West Brom East at the last general election, Ibrahim "Bogus" Dogus, has had a whopping 4,900 views! It would be nice to get to 5k folks ...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j434gzBip2A&t=3s

 (It's worth a watch just to see Bogus expalin who he is lol!)

Dogus, a "personal friend" of Jeremy Corbyn, was parachuted into WBE from London when Twatson p*ssed his pants and ran away. Curiously "Bogus" is maintaining links with the constituency by having companies donate food and bog-rolls to the Labour poor. OK it's just rumour - and may be wrong - but Labour sources keep whispering to The Skidder that he is on the way out and that a local candidate will be selected to take on the industrious new MP, Nicola Richards (a breath of fresh air after the stupendous laziness of Watson). As ever, all info welcome! Why not also have your say whether you think a London interloper is "right" for the constituency via the Facebook Group: "The Sandwell Skidder - Speaking Truth to Power!"

Sandwell Council in Court

Another legal matter David Stevens wants to keep secret due to the longest ongoing "investigation" in history is the saga of Cllr Simon "The Sandwell Slasher" Hackett and his blabbing of confidential information about a child (see blogs passim ad nauseum and legal notice below).

I will be writing more on this very soon but for the benefit of new readers - of which I am pleased to say there are many - Hackett attended a "political meeting" when in charge of Sandwell's absolutely disastrous Children's Services and disclosed the confidential info. Melanie Dudley (blogs passim) was then acting as Monitoring Officer and found Hackett to have breached the Councillors' Code of Conduct. Then Leader Steve "Squealing" Eling ordered Mel to alter the report to find Hackett "innocent" and she bravely refused. With Jan Britton's (the disgraced former Chief Executive's) connivance she was forced out with a colossal, confidential, pay-off. The day after she officially left, Solicitors working for SMBC sought new evidence claiming that this was a "data breach" enquiry. And lo, Hackett was then found to be "innocent". 

But the child and his mother then brought a claim against Sandwell for the very obvious data breach. I can't comment on an ongoing case save to report that there is a procedural hearing listed this week at Birmingham County Court. David Stevens has admitted liability on behalf of the Council but a new Standards Investigation into Hackett has still not been completed! This has been going on for years but Hackett and his allies hope that it will continue to move at glacial pace until the May election (or stopped earlier due to pre-election "purdah") when he and the Labour rebels will take back control of the bent Council and stop the investigation! Mystery surrounds why it is taking the current Monitoing Officer, Surjit Tour, so long to complete the incredibly simple and straightforward enquiry!

More anon!

Did You Know Sandwell Has "Business Ambassadors" Lol!

 Sandwell's Anonymous "Business Ambassadors"

This blog has been assiduous in exposing the hatred of Sandwell Labour for business/commerce/entreprise. The comrades claim to hate capitalism (although always grasp any monies coming their way) and regularly abuse business people whilst wondering why no-one wants to talk to them about providing jobs in the sh*thole Borough. 

If you run a business in Sandwell, Labour think you are "greedy scum" and if you employ people you are not helping folk earn a living but "exploiting" them.

People like Cllr Red Yvonne Davies who have worked all their lives in the "third sector" earning a good screw via government and other grants think "the state" should run everything as in Soviet Russia or Mao's China. The cost will be met by seizing your property and soaking "the rich". Hopefully the Red Guard won't immediately confiscate Red's own nearly half a million pound dacha hidden from view by verdant growth in leafy Herefordshire.

This blog has mocked the comrades as each year they have to, by law, hold a budget meeting for business ratepayers. Back in the days of Dickhead Daz two grovellers from the local Chamber of Commerce turned up once but then, until last year, no-one at all bothered to appear (which is surprising as we shall see). 

In hilarious scenes last year a sole "businessman" was proudly paraded into a room at the Oldbury Kremlin surrounded by a phalanx of moronic "socialists". But these jokers couldn't even get that right and it turned out that the sole guest did not, in fact, pay business rates!!!!

This year Labour are desperate for someone, anyone, to attend and are even pushing the meeting on Twitter - so if you want to face people who hate you and have never run a whelk stall themselves please trot along so that Labour can fellate you and pretend publically before the election that they actually give a toss about wealth creation and jobs.

The absence of anyone at these pathetic events is all the more surprising since, in 2016, the comrades set up a website and marketing for the "Sandwell Business Ambassadors". Even they can't be arsed to attend the pointless charade.  Who the f*** are they you may well ask? Well here they are (details from current webpage) and I have divided them between people who appear to actually run businesses and those in talk-shop sinecures:

The Business Folk:

Paul Hull - KMB Shipping; Anjali Agrawal - CMT Engineering; Gurpreet Bhatia - Harbans Singh & Co; Andy Smith - Keytracker Ltd; Paul Haywood - Lift Craft Ltd; Mark Evans - Crowe UK; Alan Taylor - MiGlass; John Wood - Liberty Engineering; Elaine Bruce - H&R ChemPharm.

The Hangers-On:

Christine Hinson - SIPS Education; Jan Denning - Destination Wolverhampton & The Black Country; Colin Crane - Black Country Chamber of Commerce; Sanjeev Gill - Sandwell College.

We have seen time and time again that any supposedly "independent" organisations somehow connected to the bent Labour Council are highly secretive and unaccountable. You may live in what is supposed to be a democracy in Sadders but you are scum and should keep your beaks out.

Hang on a mo. Mr Taylor has pointed out that all the above-named are volunteers and are not "funded". They give their time freely for the greater good of the benighted Borough. OK you may say, that's good and it is The Skidder who should keep his beak out. But as always with the deeply corrupt Council nothing is ever quite as it seems. And Taylor let the cat out of the bag by saying that one of the aims of the "ambassadors" is to somehow "support the Council" and to provide feedback to it. 

Their group is pictured on the website with one notable omission since Mr Taylor states that "Sandwell Council has representation on the group - this is the Director of Regeneration of Growth" ie the hapless Alison Knight of the"Shi*te Knight Report" and other infamy until she was recently shown the door!

OK says I, us taxpayers were paying the dismal Knight oodles of dosh and so we should know what she is up to with this group at our expense. In went a Freedom of Information Request and, for the most part, this was immediately blocked. David Stevens has prevented a response on the basis it would cost too much! And so even when the Council are talking to businesses the plebs are not allowed to know (remember that voters!)

As ever, it gets worse. Labour won't tell you what is going on but between July, 2016 and March, 2020 they splurged £109,563 of OUR money so that the well-heeled volunteers could have, I sh*t ye not, "a brand and logo, design and maintenance of a website, associated social media plus marketing, press and communications".

Labour boast that after 46 years in charge in Sandwell there are kids literally starving on the streets and people with excrement smeared around their arses as they have no lavatory paper yet they have spent £109k on a group you have never heard of (until I told you here for free). And you are prevented from knowing what they are up to! And heaven knows how much they spend on the Ferrero Rocher!


Paddling Pool

Naturally the Commonwealth Games paddling pool (on a greenfield site) is way over budget with the original £15m suggested by Labour already £73m and rising in dirtpoor Sadders. There is still no news on what will happen to the other two pools which will be closed when the new one opens in a very inconvenient location (and one of the buildings is listed). Now a Sandwell Council apparatchik called Chris Jones has taken to Heart Midlands News as an election approaches and laughably claimed to journo Melissa Hancock that the multi-million pound turd will not cost Sandwell ANY money to operate or maintain! You couldn't make it up - er, well yes you could in Labour Sandwell! Here's Chris's load of balls in full:

“So that’s been a key concern for the Council as well Melissa, we didn’t want to build a building which was going to cost the Local Authority long term so when we’ve developed the facility mix its always had an eye on as well not only delivering what our residents want in terms of the facilities but also making sure they were sustainable long term. As you know there’s two older facilities in the Smethwick area which the building will be replacing which are - they aren’t cheap to run at all and this building has been designed in such a way and with the relevant business models developed to make sure that long term it doesn’t cost Sandwell Council or Sandwell residents any money to operate. We’re really confident that will be the case - that takes into account the operation and the maintenance of the building as well so in the long term we can keep the new aquatic centre in a really good condition so it can do what we all want  it to do for Sandwell and Sandwell residents and residents of for the West Midlands as well.”

Scum of the Earth - Tom Watson

It is incredible that this slimeball is still pulling strings in the local Labour Party. He did immense damage to Sandwell and some of his grotesque rimmers are still on the Council - Simon "The Sandwell Slasher" Hackett, Paul "The Cipher" Moore, "Inane" Elaine Costigan and last but definitely not least Billy "Coward of the County" Gavan (who left Labour and tried to join the Tories but with great good sense they rejected his advances lol!)

Most of you will know the grotesque and false allegations Twat-son made against the late Leon Brittan but I urge you to read the comments of Lady Brittan in the Mail Online:

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9243271/Lady-Brittans-tearful-verdict-Tom-Watsons-despicable-newspaper-attack-husband.html

How on earth can Labour be recommending this monster for a peerage?

Another Labour Sandwell Council Domestic Abuse Allegation!

Shocking stuff - a number of Labour Councillors at bent Sandwell and local Party members are saying that the wife of one of their Councillor "comrades" has alleged that she has been subjected to domestic abuse. In a dramatic turn the Skidder is told she was moved out  to a place of safety. The Skidder has written to the Councillor asking about this sordid tale and giving him the opportuinity rebut the allegation but he has declined to respond.

If that is not bad enough, it is said that the alleged victim sought support from some Labour Councillors but this was not forthcoming from some individuals. (One has also refused to respond to me about this!)

This is a horrible situation and is doubly shocking given the way Labour lauded that notorious wife-beater, the late Labour Leader [sic] Darren Cooper - seen here with one of his cheerleaders, the self-proclaimed feminist Jess Philips MP:

It is hard to imagine how much lower this lot can go (although, there are very serious allegations which I still can't share with you just yet but hang on in there).

David Stevens Tightens Grip - For Now!

Follow the demise of the disgraced former "Chief Executive", Jan Britton, at the corrupt Labour Council Cllr "Red" Yvonne Davies asked David Stevens to step up to the top job. She promised a diligent search for a new supremo but then decide to appoint within the bent paid service. The selection process was duly rigged and took place, er, over the Christmas holidays when the offices were closed. With no challenger Stevens won the crown. One year on and one of the supposed "contenders" has herself been booted out!

Stevens is a controversial figure. Two of his pets were Stuart Lackenby (blogs passim) and Neil Cox. Stevens has flatly refused to say whether he has ever had a business relationship with Lackenby. Why?

It would probably be impossible for anyone to be worse in the job that the disastrous Britton. Speaking personally, Stevens is one-up on the former hapless lardarse (pot calling kettle a bit there!) in that he appears to possess a brain and whilst the results are patchy he has made SOME improvements in the governance of the bent Borough (at a difficult time). In his dealings with me he has veered between being very fair to absolutely shafting me and so it remains to be seen whether he is a man to be trusted.

But a new streamlined top management plan was agreed late last year giving Stevens the chance to form his own team (and, allegedly, to save money though see further below). The Skidderati assumed Lackenby would become Steven's right-hand man but, to everyone's surprise, Stuart suddenly left for the sunny climes of Northamptonshire! I imagine you can guess where this is going folks? Following some high profile departures a "recruitment process" is under way (like it was for Steven's post lol) but, nevertheless, it was felt that there should be an immediate internal appointment for the post of "Director for Business Strategy and Transformation" and the lucky winner is - drumroll please - yes, you guessed it, Neil Cox!

In a Council where cronyism has damaged the Borough so badly we are back to more of the same! 

I have only met Neil once and apart from one particularly aggrieved person he has generally received "positive feedback" in his more lowly posts (as I have told him). Presumably with his new "b*llocks" job title he will be doing some of the tasks formerly in the purview of the hapless Alison Knight (blogs passim) and perhaps at least some will benefit from his "hands-on" - style of management. We shall see ...

BUT ... The rumours just will not go away that Eling rimmers-extraordinaire Spellar, Gurinder Josan, David Hallam and John Kelly are still desperately trying to get the Sp*nk Brother's Labour Party suspension lifted so that he can make the biggest comeback since Lazarus. The Squealer (aka The Milkman) has already split the local Labour Group right down the middle but some Councillors are saying that if he returns he will very quickly force Stevens out. One the one hand, we have seen in past blogs ad nauseum that Milko is a very nasty piece of work and, if he does return to take Sadders from the gaping jaws of Hades right down into the fiery abyss, he won't have Britton on hand to wipe his arse on demand. He will not tolerate anyone standing up to his tyrannical behaviour. 

On the other hand, I am tempted to dismiss this speculation since I get the impression that Stevens is a chameleon and may well see the benefit of accomodating the Milkman's dictatorial demands (indeed in some of the post notorious episodes of the Squealer's crazed reign eg. the suspensions of the innocent Cabinet secretaries, our Dave was conspicuous by his absence. He seems to have always been doing "other things" whenever the sh*t hit the fan).

Hang on though! At least the ringleaders of the infamous "Gang of 26" Labour rebels currently trying to destroy the present regime are also major Squealer rimmers and they are very upset that Stevens is said to be pushing ahead with standards investigations into some of their Barmy Army. 


Yet even here, one wonders whether Stevens is playing the long game? The investigations under Sandwell Council's most dangerous man, Surjit Tour, are proceeding at glacial pace and now seem unlikely to see the light of day before the May elections (if those actualli take place due to the Covid crisis). This appears to outsiders to be a deliberate ploy. Costigan, Zorro Hughes, the Giles's etc are hoping to bolster their ranks in May and dethrone Maria Crompton and the current Cabinet. At which point Stevens will be ordered to rig and/or close down the investigations on pain of losing his job (and remember the precedent when Eling destroyed Melanie Dudley to protect Simon "The Sandwell Slasher" Hackett?) Maybe Stevens doesn't want all the aggro before the election and will sit tight to see which way the wind is blowing afterwards?

There is one straw in that breeze in that the Gang of 26 (currently 24 due to the Party suspension of the moronic Billa - Cllr M Y Hussain - and the departure of Cllr Luvvie Trow) are said to be demanding the appointment of a Deputy Chief Executive! Despite the b*llshit that the management restructure is to save money Zorro is said to be on his Shetland Pony with other rebels baying behind for an understudy for Dave. There can be no reasoned rationale for this and so is it a none too subtle warning to Stevens that if he doesn't kowtow to these grotesques he will be replaced pronto? 

OF COURSE, YOU CAN HELP PUT A STOP TO THE LABOUR INCOMPETENCE AND CORRUPTION MY VOTING AS MANY OF THEM OUT AS POSSIBLE COME THE ELECTION!

A Misspelling By Cllr White?

Absurd Councillor Caroline "Caz" White has been whittering on social media about catching nasty things from "pens" but given her very well publicised relationship with joke married ex-Cllr David Hosell did she miss an "i" out of pens?

Another One Bites The Dust

You have to hand it to Labour they will not rest until every green space and old building in Sadders is destroyed with just a handful of exceptions. Now a fine old building at Forge Mill Lane has been destroyed on the usual pretext ie Labour let it go to rack and ruin and then "had to" demolish it as it was allegedly in imminent danger of collapse! 

The sad sight was put on social media but I am unable to credit the unknown photographer:


A Tweeter says that when the old farmer died the corrupt Council went to a lot of effort to evict his daughter. Steve Lilley on Twitter said the site was a nesting place for swallow, barn owls, kestrels and bats. No-one locally seems to have any clue Labour were going to destroy this site. Did you?

Why not join the "Sandwell Skidder - Speaking Truth to Power!" Facebook Group and have your say about this wanton vandalism?

(Incidentally, Labour have been trying to force the Warley League to move football pitches up near here so that they can destroy Lion Farm Fields!)
