Crompton + Lion Farm Fields

The soon to be deposed "leader" of bent Labour Sandwell Council - if the idiots in Tividale are prepared to vote her in again on 6th May, 2021 - Maria Crompton, seems to be playing a double game when it comes to destroying green space in Sandwell. I suppose she doesn't give a f*ck as she owns land on Portway Hill where she keeps her horses and where she can look down on the scum below huddled in the polluted urban jungle. But she has pressed ahead with plans to destroy Lion Farm Fields whilst putting it about quietly that she would actually prefer the shopping centre development not going ahead. The bent paid service have been continuing to try to find (ususally unsuitable) alternative football pitches so that they can evict the Warley League. Which version do you believe folks? When will she tell voters what she has really been up to?

Indeed it looks like Crompton is playing us for fools since both Dudley and Wolverhampton Councils have very recently said in writing that they are in secret discussions with Sandwell about the scheme (both Council's say they intend to keep this secret which is perhaps not surprising as they will be f*cking their own retail areas up the derriere if they allow it go ahead.) Curiously Sandwell have not been in communication with Birmingham City Council about the scheme - why?

The bent deal to destroy the fields was hatched in 2012. This blog has shown that unless the bent paid service under Jan Britton and David Stevens are lying (!) the developer, Jeremy Knight-Adams aka "Shite Adams", did not comply with the original bent deal. But former Leader Steve "Squealing" Eling, Simon Hackett, Paul Moore, Kerry Carmichael and others were determined to force through this absurd proposal which will not only destroy a vital green lung for Lion Farm but destroy existing - struggling - High Streets right across the sh*thole Borough. 

Crompton has tried to stop Sandwell people seeing this photo where anti-corruption campaigner Darryl Magher (standing as an Independent candidate in Great Barr & Yew Tree) was berating her and former Leader Yvonne Davies about Labour's destruction of Sandwell's green spaces. Davies lives in a near half-million pound pad in rural Herefordshire surrounded by beautiful woodland yet is very happy to see green areas destroyed in Sadders. She cheered on the ruination of Londonderry Fields for the ridiculous multi-million pound fiasco that is the Commonwealth Games paddling pool and when questioned why the workers were being forced to work on site throughout Covid she falsely claimed that this was by order of the "Governement" when this was untrue. She has now been instrumental with Crompton in destroying Brandhall Golf Course and despite being a Langley Councillor has flatly refused to oppose the bent Lion Farm deal.

As above, Eling, Hackett and Moore had been involved in this scandal almost right from the beginning. In 2017 they commissioned "Doctor of Education" Alison Knight to "write" a report favouring the continuation of the project and tried to give the original bent deal legitimacy (see posts passim ad nauseum). Knight's disgraceful effort was based on information supplied by Shite-Adams himself but presented by Watson-employee & rimmer, Cllr Paul Moore. The Cabinet unanimously and unlawfully attempted to give the deal legitimacy. (Eling was not present at the meeting but six CURRENT Labour councillors were - Carmichael, Costigan, Hackett, Khatun, Moore and Shackleton. Please note this as Carmichael was in on this and you can send her a suitable message as she is standing on 6th May. Also remember that in the ongoing civil war these grotesques are hoping to be back running the Council in a couple of weeks.)

Such blatant illegality even troubled the "Comrades" and so they tried to polish the turd again. They need some grovelling patsy to and so another Watson-rimmer , Cllr Liam Preece, was asked to do the honours. This pathetic greaser chaired an Audit Committee meeting where, once again, Labour thought they could retrospectively condone their earlier unlawful actions. SMBC "accidentally" switched the recording equipment off just for this one item on the agenda (Jan Britton was sitting out of sight under the public gallery overhang but denied - for what that is worth from him - giving the order to switch the tape off.)

I recorded Preece's pathetic show "trial" although the sound quality is very poor. Please note that this snivelling wretch has been picked - allegedly by Keir Starmer himself - to be the next Leader of the Council but the voters of Charlemont & Grove Vale can stop that bizarre plan in its tracks by voting him out on 6th May). (It will certainly enrich the Preece household if Charlemont folk let the Borough down since in the incestuous world of Sandwell Labour his partner, Sarah Sprung, is a "senior lead offfcier" with SMBC! Hurrah - double bubble!)

Incidentally, Preece vehemently denies that he himself was responsible for switching the tape off though he never said who was!

Now here's the rub! On Sunday I received this email which I have permission from the author to reproduce:

"Just found out a little bit of interesting news about Lion Farm, Just 15 minutes or so ago i was walking my dog around the Fields when returning to my parked car in Brunel Drive who should be (posting election leaflets i assume) their but the Council Leader Maria Crompton, i said to her come on Maria sort this place out (Lion Farm), and she said the Clubhouse is no longer owned by Sandwell MBC, i said so who is it owned by JKA ? she said she didnt know but the Council dont own it, then she went on to say the Council are fighting against JKA [Shite-Adams] and trying to get out of the deal with JKA and it is with Solicitors but its costing a lot of money to try to get out of it, I said this option that he has on the land its a lifetime thing, she said its appears so.

 Now that is almost word for word the exchange that i had with the Council Leader within the last half hour, either she is filling me with bullshit or someone is lying to the Council leader, I have no reason to believe that she would be lying to me. Can anyone enlighten us as to who owns the Clubhouse on Lion Farm if its not the Council."

As we shall see in a moment, Crompton does not deny the above conversation. There are issues arising from this.

1   Crompton  - the "leader" - couldn't even get her facts right. The freehold of the Clubhouse is still owned by the people of Sandwell;

2   She and other senior Labour figures have been spouting the b*llocks about trying to get out of the deal for some years but nothing has happened. It will not escape readers that far from trying to fight Shite-Adams the full Cabinet said in 2017  to the whole world that the bent deal WAS lawful (and this was received without comment or opposition by the full Council). Then, in 2018, Preece and Co did exactly the same thing again - advertising in supposedly forensic detail to the whole world that everything was hunky dory. JKA's lawyers must be having a field day against incompetent Sandwell whose legal team under Surjit Tour approved these public pronouncements!

3  If there is genuinely an ongoing legal dispute then Crompton has willingly disclosed highly confidential and privileged information to a member of the public which is ironic given that Yvonne Davies, David Stevens and Surjit Tour went all the way to an Information Rights Tribunal to try and stop me getting more information about all this! (Davies was keen on doing that as we have seen.) And why are Sandwell in secret talks with Dudley and Wolvo if they are trying to get out of the deal. There is no planning application in so what the f*ck is going on?

(There are legal things that can be done but this would involve censuring the above-named Councillors and others. The other thing is to clearly indicate - as many non-Labour candidates in May already have - that the disastrous plan will be vigorously opposed.)

I sent the above-email content to Crompton for her comments. Instead of replying I got an unsolicited reply from Chief Executive David Stevens and he implies the deal is very much still on:

"The Council and the developer remain engaged in significant negotiations concerning the development as part of a long-standing contract arrangement. It is not therefore appropriate to comment any further in respect of this matter".

So was Crumpton lying about SMBC trying to get out of this deal. She has tried to pass the buck but this is totally unsatisfactory. Until she makes an official statement making the position clear don't believe a word she says!

As an aside - for the second time in a year David Stevens is trying to destroy this blog and to destroy me financially. Yet this p*ss-taker signed his unsolicited email "best wishes, David". You will not be surprised that my response was more "robust".

Sharon Davies + Lion Farm

Here's another one who, as a Labour Councillor, refused to join local residents in Langley opposing the destruction of The Fields.

She is now standing as an Independent having been deselected by Labour. I wrote to her asking if she would now be opposing the bent deal but she has failed do reply.

DO NOT VOTE FOR SHARON DAVIES IF YOU WANT TO SAVE THE FIELDS.

Tories Split on Lion Farm?

A strange situation here. The local Tories have been steadfast opponents of Labour's bent deal to wreck this green space even though Shite-Adams is a major donor to their Party. Most are still opposed to the scheme, not least because of the massive economic damage it will do right across Sandwell. (It is absurd that yet more money is being pumped into West Brom - and even more bizarrely to Labour sh*thole, Wednesbury - when Labour are planning to inflict massive damage of these and the other retail areas.)

It seemed that they were still united in their opposition to the corrupt plan but that may not now be the case. ALL the Tory candidates in the May elections are against the scheme and say they will oppose it if you elect them against bent Labour. MP's James Morris and Nicola Richards have also written to me saying they are against the scheme. Unfortunately there are two hold-outs - MP Shaun Bailey and Metro Mayor Andy Street have failed to reply to two letters each asking them to condemn the bent deal. The latter is particularly worrying as Street is a major rimmer of Shite-Adams (more on this coming shortly).

What a shame the Tories are apparently now disunited on this but, again, all local candidates say they will try to stop it. (Here is a short piece from Jay Anandou who is standing against, inter alia, the Labour masturbator, John Tipper (who used a Council phone to film himself w*nking) in Old Warley about a local play area and also Farm Fields.
