Here is a complete - cut-out'n'keep - guide to Thursday's election and 10-point advice plan on tactical voting so that Sandwell folk can finally elect an opposition to the bent Labour dictatorship and show their anger at 47 years of Labour fraud, cronyism, incompetence and failure!
1 A Green Vote is a Wasted Vote
It pains me to say this as a Green supporter. A few years ago, Mike Allen and others campaigned against the destruction of green spaces in Sandwell - notably Londonderry and Lion Farm Fields. Since then their Green colleagues have done ABSOLUTELY NOTHING in Sandwell and been completely anonymous - even on Lion Farm and the Labour destruction of Brandhall Golf Course. Indeed it gets worse. Their w*nker colleagues in Birmingham Greens praised the planting of some trees somewhere unspecified as ample recompense for Labour concreting over Londonderry Fields!!!! A complete waste of space!
2 A Liberal Vote is also a Wasted Vote
Apart from my friend Bertram Richards in Newton Ward (who has kindly tried to help some of the folk who have contacted this blog about housing issues without seeking any public approbation) this lot are also a complete waste of space. They have been totally silent on Labour's fraud and disastrous 47 year dictatorship - indeed Mark Smith (Great Barr and Yew Tree Ward) seems to think it is more important to fight the national government than deal with local corruption issues. How many times have the Liberals turned up on the demonstrations and other protests about Labour's shocking behaviour in recent years - NEVER! How many times have they offered support in campaigns like "Save Lion Farm" or to the likes of Gooseman - NEVER! If they are absent from the action for years on end, why should you waste your vote on them now?
(And if you vote Green or Liberal you risk splitting the opposition vote and letting bent Labour back in via the back door!)
3 Labour's Old Familiar Faeces
During the currency of this blog, the Labour Cabinet - largely white incidentally - have presided over corruption on a grand scale and also ensured the degradation of the venal paid service. If (and I say "if" because West Midlands Police have failed to investigate what has been going on) they were not guilty themselves of direct corruption they have turned a Nelsonian blind eye to the facts "for the good of the [bent] Party".
For three years Kerrie Carmichael (Blackheath Ward) sat in the Cabinet of the tyrant Steve "Squealing" Eling and - as she never blew the whistle - is presumed to have approved all that went on during that disastrous period. Another coward prepared to put Party before the people of Sandwell. If you vote for her, Blackheath, you only have yourselves to blame. (Oh, and if people should be judged on the company they keep, this dismal apparatchik is a close associate of the vile Cllr Elaine Costigan!)
Maria Crompton (Tividale Ward) was not in the Eling Cabinet but seems to be deliberately saying different things to different people about Lion Farm:
http://thesandwellskidder.blogspot.com/2021/04/crompton-lion-farm-fields.html
I will be writing about her again soon - but she has been working with the Machiavellian SMBC Chief Executive, David Stevens, to use your money to close this blog, bankrupt me and even imprison me if I write about a certain individual. It's time to get rid of people like this and, this time, Tividale needs to go Blue. Vote for Crompton if you want to destroy Lion Farm Fields!
One or two absolute deadbeats are re-standing for Labour - they have just been pathetic voting fodder for the dictatorship and if you want someone useless "representing" you choose Ann Jarvis or Susan Eaves.
4 Labour's Dodgy Characters
Of the current Councillors - as of today - who were elected as Labour Councillors, two have spent fraud convictions (which I am not allowed by law to tell you about). Another has at one point been on police bail in respect of an allegation relating to a VERY SERIOUS offence (and that is a very disturbing story indeed).
The Police are still refusing to investigate Cllr Iqbal Padda's address even though he really lives in P*******, Walsall.
Fantasist Caroline White (elected Labour but, unbelievably, re-standing as an Independent in Cradley Heath & Old Hill) has been involved in industrial scale social media trolling with her married boyfriend, ex-Cllr Dave Hosell and others, of which the Police are aware. White has moved well away from the Ward to Great Barr and has disgraced the election campaign with a particularly vile Tweet mocking the disabled (warning - a disturbing tweet and mocking image):
http://thesandwellskidder.blogspot.com/2021/04/councillor-whites-disgraceful-tweet.html
A number of Labour figures have, of course, been suspended by the Party or deselected - some in respective of allegations of anti-Semitism. Curiously Cllr Laura Rollins has escaped the cull despite her bizarre ramblings about "rich Jews". "Sicknote" has also been a serial rebel trying to bring down her own Party's current Leadership despite the Covid crisis. Yet again folks - you have been warned about this joke!
Last, but certainly not least, only Labour could show such utter contempt for the Borough by selecting John Tipper as a candidate for Old Warley. When he was a Councillor some time ago he borrowed a taxpayer-owned phone and filmed himself masturbating. This moron forgot to delete the obscene film when he handed the phone back (blogs passim and see legal notice below). Will Old Warley folk really be thick enough to vote for this w*nker???
Tipper and Vicki Darby-Smith (who is standing in Cradley Heath & Old Hill) managed to screw taxpayers' money out of their Labour cronies for a "public interest company" and then proceeded to completely f*ck-up the Blackheath Xmas Lights event in 2019 (again, posts passim and see legal notice below). So voters can actually vote for two Labour candidates with a proven record of INCOMPETENCE. Don't say you haven't been warned folks!
5 Address Mysteries
After 47 years of Labour failure Sandwell is a sh*thole - even "edgy" Bearwood "lol" - and so it is no wonder that many of the top (and highly-paid) figures (including the last two Chief Executives) in the bent paid service wouldn't dream of living in the benighted dog sh*t-smeared Borough.
As we know, two recent Labour "Leaders" - Squealing Eling and "Red" Yvonne Davies - had "convenience" addresses in Sandwell whilst preferring to actually live far away from local scum in bucolic surroundings - in North Derbyshire and Herefordshire respectively. As we have seen, Padda lives in a Walsall cul de sac surrounded by relatives.
Now "posh-boy" Chris Worsey, the Labour Candidate for Great Barr and Yew Tree, has openly admitted that not only does he live in his Ward but he prefers not to live in sh*thole Sandwell at all (and, as shown in recent posts - and see legal notice below - there are serious "discrepancies" about his so-called "business address").
I know Bearwood folk are - mostly - ghastly and irredeemably smug and don't care about Labour's 47-year history of failure but surely the question to more balanced local folk is: if your elected representatives don't want to live with you in Sandwell why the f*ck are you voting for them?
And don't forget how Labour keep sh*tting on local morons. Bent Labour have parachuted the invisible Charn Singh Padda in to Tipton Green (where he doesn't live) complete with a leaflet showing him litter-picking - though the photo used was immediately outed as being a staged effort at Warley Woods - miles away! Labour don't just sh*t on you, they rub your noses in it.
6 Independents - some superb options
I am anxious that the anti-Labour vote is not split but there are four of the Independent candidates standing on Thursday who are exceptional. I have written about them in recent posts but these are all people who would be excellent councillors actually REPRESENTING their communities. Ian Jones has some "baggage" but would be a great anti-corruption Councillor in the new set-up. So The Skidder says VOTE
Friar Park:
Wayne Trinder - great bloke backed by The People of Wednesbury And Wednesbury Action Group
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9etl-J9USKU&t=10s
Tipton Green:
Richard Jeffcoat - vote for an intelligent, hardworking and immensely likeable chap. Tipton - you NEED this guy!
(I arranged to meet Richard at 7.30 am in Tipton the other morning and he had already been out campaigning since 6.00 am!)
In a curious twist Richard, a professional musician, is noted for playing the organ as, in a different way, is John "W*nker" Tipper lol!
Great Barr and Yew Tree
Darryl Magher - a doughty community activist for many YEARS who will sweat blood for the Ward if elected. Lives in the Ward unlike Labour's Chris Worsey who doesn't even live in Sandwell.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GVqotmJfU_k&t=13s
Princes End
Ian Jones - experienced warhorse & ward Councillor who will hold bent Labour to account!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hfi6GbnuJP4&t=2s
If Sandwell votes for these four plus some of the best Tory candidates they can bring real change to the Borough and stop further Labour corruption. Now is your big chance for change folks!
7 Five+ Blues
There are three reasons why you should vote for some of the excellent Tory candidates this time round.
Firstly, in December, 2019 the people of Sandwell finally got off their knees and hit back at bent Labour so that three of the four MP's covering the Borough are now Conservative. Weak people who whined, "it's no good voting cos Labour always get in" were proved wrong. The good ship "Sandwell" is now, slowly, being turned away from the rocks but James Morris, Shaun Bailey and Nicola Richards need some more crew to help them. They need a cadre of good hardworking people doing the grunt work locally and going toe to toe EVERY DAY with the corrupt Labour Councillors and their bent paid service. Many hands make light work.
Secondly, if the Conservatives get at least five seats they can constitute an official opposition. This is very important given the Labour corruption since it will, amongst other things, allow the Tory councillors to have advance notice of documents produced by the bent paid service at the bidding of the Party. At last there will be people there who can properly scrutinise what bent Labour are up to and expose fraud and incompetence. You need at least five a day folks!
Thirdly, the pathetic Labour cohort is filled with thick, lazy, people just there to do as they are told. Many have never done real work outside of Labour-front organisations (if that) and most have never created any wealth or prosperity for themselves and their families let alone the wider community. (There are some exceptions - I toured some of the real sh*thole areas of Tipton the other day and then viewed, by way of contrast, the big houses with gated compounds of Syeda Khatun and scumbag-extraordinaire Billa). These Labour jokers have no real-life experience outside an insular bubble where they simply grovel for handouts. They will never bring jobs and economic health to Sadders - they haven't in 47 years and they won't now. They don't have the skillset or even the will. Look at Peter Hughes, the vile and absurd self-styled "Master" of scrutiny who had to give up home ownership to rent a property. I quite like Zahoor Ahmed but even the Muslim community around Smethwick agree he's not the sharpest tool in the box. Look at deadbeats like Ann Jarvis, Sue Eaves, the three Giles's, Rouf, Keith Allcock, Puffing Jenny Chidley (druggie of the Parish), Costigan, London-based Kauser, Millar, Simms, and Jackie Taylor "lol" to name but a few. By contrast many of the Conservative candidates are grafters, working people who want to do right by their families and communities and providing helping hands rather than handouts. People like Fajli Bibi in West Brom Central who have the actual knowldge and networks to help make all of Sandwell richer, healthier and cleverer. Does Sandwell want workers or w*nkers? The choice is yours on Thursday folks!
I have not been able to meet some of the Conservatives I wanted to (and some of them didn't want to share their story with Skidder readers) so that some of what follows is from personal experience and some from hearsay (although from authorative sources). If in doubt, the solution is to vote Conservative as, for the reasons given above, they have the best chance of doing good in the awful Labour poverty ghetto. The following deserve attention in alphabetical ward order:
Blackheath - Greg Allman - good connections and anything is better than Carmichael!
Bristnall - Connor Jones - a Tory who has been around and has been a supporter of campaigns against bent Labour's destruction of so much green space.
Charlemont and Grove Vale - David Fisher - another grafter. Local man, works in Great Bridge, community activist, what's not to like? See the video and see a switched-on guy raring to go. Electing this chap would have the double advantage of getting rid of the hapless Labour puppet, Liam Preece!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AiU_sWvOTrM&t=1s
Cradley Heath & Old Hill - Satinder Dunn - worked 30 years at the Heart of Darkness itself and "saw where the money went". Bright, bubbly and a lovely person. Elect her against the aforementioned Labour crony Vicki Darby-Smith (see above).
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o5HSnhuWUFk
(I would have recommended Scott Chapman in Friar Park - excellent fellow but, sorry mate, it HAS to be Independent Wayne Trinder - see above!)
Great Bridge - William Gill - a voice for youth amidst the Labour fossils. Young but lively and will "give it a go"!
Hateley Heath - Les Trumpeter - yes, another young-ish (!) grafter. Born and bred in Sandwell and works in Oldbury. Les is a "details" man and will cause corrupt Labour no end of grief if you elect him. Let's get the Council run properly folks:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sRgrARHE9Bs&t=1s
Newton - Lee Williams - (although see above about my friend Bertram Richards). Lee has been around a while and offers a good choice as Labour has split the seat. Out goes one of the few pleasant Labour Councillors, Joyce Underhill, who has left bent Labour and is standing as an Independent, and in comes one of the grotesque Giles clan if folk are thick enough to vote for her. Play safe - go Lee!
Old Warley (2 seats) - Jay Anandou - there are two seats up for grabs here this year and one of them MUST go to Jay! Another hardworking family man this guy is not only very pleasant but INTELLIGENT. Surely Sandwell folk want someone with some brain cells on the Council (see also Richard Jeffcoat above)? Bizarrely Jay, who has Indian heritage, was vilely dimissed on a troll account linked to some councillors and local journalists as "a black man"! This guy is good in his own right but is Old Warley really going to vote for Labour masturbator, John Tipper?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=exgIznR_00I&t=6s
Tividale - Emma Henlan - a good local candidate. ALL Tory local candidates have said they are opposed to the destruction of nearby Lion Farm Fields unlike Emma's opponent Maria Crompton who is saying one thing whilst Labour are doing another. (And Crompton has been in the Cabinet pushing the destruction of Brandhall Golf Course too!)
Wednesbury South (2 seats) - Ian Chambers and Dave Wilkes - how much longer are Wednesbury people going to see their town ruined by Labour and two of the vilest of vile Labour Councillors, Costigan and Peter Hughes? Ian and Dave are a breath of fresh air up by the Wednesbury cesspit. They have been out and about campaigning like mad. Dave is a mate and has been indefatigable with volunteering during Covid. If elected he will be one massive pain in the arse for bent Labour but make it a double folks!
West Bromwich Central - Fajli Bibi - one smart woman in all ways. Sassy and bright - sort of Prada to the charity shop grunge of "former Jewess" Laura Rollins. Bubbly and enthusiastic compared to the dour insular Rollins. This is someone who will GET THINGS DONE. West Brom - vote against more Labour corruption and vote for positive change - THE FUTURE'S BRIGHT - THE FUTURE'S BIBI!
8 Oddities
In a recent post I wrote how the Skidder team had been discussing the five most horrible Labour Councillors. There was some debate about position 5 and Cllr Bob Piper just missed the cut but make no mistake, he is a really nasty p*ss-taking piece of work. Lest we forget he must be one of the few Labour Chairs of local Licensing Committees to have walked into a pub and shouted "Seig Heil" whilst making a Nazi salute! Curiously Labour sources tell me that he has an odd relationship (not in a physical way) with the candidate for the awful Abbey Ward, one Nicky Hinchcliff. Perhaps opposites attract as I am told that Nicky is a "nice" person. I am told she is an intelligent professional person and yet she allegedly holds Piper in god-like reverence! With a guru and mentor like that nasty old sod, what can possibly go wrong if she is elected?
9 Lion Farm Fields
ALL Labour councillors have backed the deeply corrupt deal to destroy Lion Farm Fields and it must be assumed that all candidates have agreed to toe the Party line if elected. As above. Tividale will be heavily affected by any development and should not elect Maria Crompton.
ALL local Conservative candidates believe the proposed development should not go ahead on this huge and vital green space as do MP's James Morris and Nicola Richards. (Worryingly Shaun Bailey MP has refused to state his position as has Andy Street, the Tory mayoral candidate who is a massive rimmer of the proposed developer and this is a considerable cause for concern locally).
The Greens and Liberals have done f*ck all about the Fields since further agitation to save the Fields started in 2017.
Former Labour Langley Councillor Sharon Davies was deselected by Labour. She has left the Party and is standing as an Independent. Even though there is considerable opposition to the development on Lion Farm Davies thinks she knows best and is STILL in favour of destroying the Fields.
Despite the situation with Street and Bailey the safest votes to save the Fields are CONSERVATIVE!
10 Liam Byrne
This is the Labour liar who is standing for WM Mayor. He was the prat who was Chief Secretary to the Treasury last time Labour was in Government when they very nearly bankrupted the country. He left a joke note to his successor that there was no money left. Do you really want an idiot like that running the West Mids?
Lately, Byrne - with the full knowledge and, seemingly, connivance, of Labour "Leader" Keir "Sir Woodenarse" Starmer - has been openly lying that he is already "Shadow Mayor of the West Midlands" when he is NOT. This is an outright LIE he has been peddling for many months even though he is an MP. No such position even exists! VOTE FOR LIARS AT YOUR PERIL FOLKS!
And finally - this is the reality of the poisonous pools in Labour Sandwell not a hugely expensive vanity project ...
Here are the details of all candidates standing in the election on Thursday:
