Small Earthquake in Bent Sandwell - Election Result Special

The one you have all been waiting for! A long read but you can dip in and out as there will probably only be one more post before I take next week off (work rather than holiday, alas).

"Rejoice at the news" was once said by a serial winner of elections. I never thought I would see the day when I, as a non-Tory, would take such delight in the election of nine Conservatives to bent Labour Sandwell Council. Not only has this removed some of the dross, but the Tories secured sufficient seats to form an "official opposition". This is important because it will give them notice of official documents which the corrupt paid service and bent Labour have, hitherto, kept secret. Now questions can be asked at an early stage and not years after the event. 

Unfortunately, no Tory women were elected but some came close and I am sure the likes of Emma Henlan and Sarah Johnson will live to fight another day.

Now there can be proper scrutiny of policy if the new members can step up to the plate. This is no easy task. Unlike many of the scroungers and unemployed on the Labour benches, most of the new Tories are young(ish) working people with families. They will have to juggle their lives with a huge workload. They will face the sort of vicious bullying from the comrades I have endured for several years. The paid service is utterly corrupted and they will face the same obstruction and obfuscation I do. Nine of them will have to carry the fight forward against the whole corrupt Council whilst also looking after folk in their wards. I shall help them as much as possible and I also urge all other decent people in Sandwell to assist them too.

These folk can do the heavy lifting at local level but have the advantage that three of the four Sandwell MP's are now Conservatives AND Andy Street is still the West Midlands Tory Mayor. The odious Labour Cllr Bob "Seig Heil" Piper once made a derogatory joke that folk in Sandwell are never more than 10 feet away from a Tory. Not for the first time the joke is actually on him, as in most parts of Sandwell this is now factually true!

Fingers crossed - this is the beginning of the end of the perversion of Labour that exists in Sandwell and the curtain is falling on 47 years of corruption, cronyism and incompetence.

John "Jedward" Edwards

At long last this piece of excrement has been scraped from Sandwell's shoe. A man consumed with hatred (allegedly because he lost the parliamentary nomination for WBE to Tom Watson) he did everything possible to hang on to his job as head of the Fire Authority and the money that went with it. Thus this so-called "firebrand" ended up a grovelling rimmer of the first degree to Labour Leaders [sic] Cooper and Eling. Recently deselected by his Party he flounced off and stood as an independent but crashed and burned last week.

I bumped into him almost immediately at the Count on Friday and the following exchange occurred:

Me: (Cheerily) "Morning Jedders"

Jedward: "F*ck off you f*cking louse."

I hadn't realised we were still so close lol!

A well-known local figure told me his election leaflet resembled an Order of Service at a funeral and a reader was kind enough to supply a copy lol:

"RIP" Scumbag!

Trailer Park Trash

Regular readers will remember the extraordinary attack on me some years ago INSIDE THE COUNT by then Labour "leader" Steve "Squealing" Eling and his charming, snarling, wife, Pam Pulsford (aka xxx xxx in local Labour circles). I make myself available for all the Labour councillors to speak directly to me outside most full Council and Labour Group meetings. They know exactly how to contact me and that I will meet them in any venue of their choice. But many are thick and/or as rough as a badger's arse so that they - and apparently also their relatives - have no idea how to behave properly in polite society. There is also an element  here of deliberately attacking me inside the Count in the hope that I will retaliate and they can than get me thrown out.

Last Friday I noticed James Morris MP at the Count. I had never met him before and went over for a quick chat but I had hardly opened by mouth when a female Councillor and her daughter started shouting and haranguing me (this was again INSIDE the counting hall). 

I did consider writing to the Returning Officer to complain but I am hoping it will be a different person at the 2022 election!

The Non-Party's Over!

Remember the "United Sandwell Party"? I thought not lol! 

This was the "Party" former Labour Councillor's Caroline "Caz" White and Bill Cherrington said they were setting up. The vile Caz, who turned-up at the Count with her married lover and Sandwell's King Troll ex-Cllr Dave Hosell, received help from, of all people, Steve "Squealing" Eling!!! 

The "Party" briefly appeared on the SMBC website even though it was never actually registered with the Electoral Commission. And hardly before it had supposedly formed than Cherry "resigned". They both stood last week in different guises but were duly booted out. Good riddance to bad rubbish!

Starmer's Boy Done Bad!

Liam Preece is said to have been picked as the new Leader of bent Labour Sandwell Council and this was approved by the national "leader" Keir "Sir Woodenarse" Starmer himself. What could possibly go wrong? Well the folk of Charlemont and Grove Vale decided they had had quite enough of Preece thank you after nine years of his inactivity in their ward (at least as told to me by locals on a couple of visits to Stone Cross).

Quite why anyone thought him leadership material is a Labour mystery. His humiliation opens another can of worms as he has his eyes on deselecting Corbyn's mate, Ibrahim "Bogus" Dogus (remember him lol), as the parliamentary candidate for West Brom East (curiously Bogus is still hanging around WBE like a bad smell!) Labour sources told me the Sandwell Leadership could be Preece's stepping stone to Parliament (seemingly forgetting that WBE is now a Tory seat!)

Preece threw his dummy out of the pram big style when Corbyn imposed Londoner Bogus on the Constituency and, despite a few local fantasists jockeying for selection, he was the Labour front-runner by several lengths. Until Friday. To be fair to Preece, he has never abased himself before the mysteriously wealthy Bogus unlike most of the pathetic and grovelling rimmers in the local WBE Labour Party. At least he has SOME principles.

There is a by-election coming up in Sadders as there remains a vacancy in Tividale. Surely even Richard Oliver and the local Regional Office won't be sick enough to try and parachute him into this seat when he has been given the bum's rush in his his own ward? Watch this space (and the Tories did extremely well in Tivi last week and will certainly make a real fight of it). "To lose one seat may be regarded as a misfortune Mr Preece. To lose two would be bloody hilarious!"

After an intemperate outburst at The Skidder, Liam finally gave a statement to readers and showed a degree of class wholly absent from his swineish comrades:

"I have had nine years in Charlemont and Grove Vale. I am very grateful for my nine years and wish David Fisher best wishes for his term of office."

Sandwell Scum - Part One

Approximately 36,314* w*nkers voted for bent Labour in Sandwell last week in the full knowledge of the corruption, cronyism and incompetence of the sordid Dictatorship. And the Party is split down the middle locally so which side were they even voting for? How can anyone reward 47 years of Labour failure?

I have been touring Sandwell and viewing some of the absolute sh*thole Labour poverty ghettoes - in Tipton, St Paul's etc - where people live in small, overcrowded and sh*tty housing. Drugs and crime are rife in Sandwell. The dump was, at one point, the worst in the country for Covid infections despite Labour's pathetic boasting of having defeated the pandemic. Statistically you will die earlier in the Labour Borough and with increased years of pain and suffering than in most of the rest of the country. Many schools are poor. Labour completely failed with Children's Services so that physical and sexual child abuse has been rampant.

Labour brag, yes brag, that local parents cannot feed their kids whilst sp*nking at least £73m on a vanity project swimming pool. Air pollution has been shocking yet Labour destroy green space after green space.

It is no surprise that the woke weirdos of ghastly Bearwood vote Labour since they seem to get off on poverty porn. Yet some of the the biggest Labour votes come in the worst sh*tholes. Cronyism and clannishness prevail here and "community leaders" keep promising better things around the corner. But if you think they will deliver, think again. If your streets are full of dog crap/litter and crime is all-pervasive and the pavements are wonky and the street lights are out and your kids have no chance of a better life than your own sh*tty existence and the druggies are everywhere and so on and so on - this is what 47 YEARS of corrupt Labour has delivered to you. And if you voted for them you deserve to be shafted by them, and I am sure you will be for the next 12 months so suck it up losers.

If YOU are the sort of tosser who likes all this and votes Labour in Sandwell please email me with your reasons. In the meantime, if I am still alive in 12 months, I will make a decent donation to a local charity if I am not writing this all over again and those in the Labour poverty ghettoes are not still weltering in their squalor.

(Incidentally, it has been known for a long time that Rizwan Jalil and Pam Randhawa were highly likely to be selected as Labour candidates and yet a spokesperson for David Stevens and the bent paid service publicly bigged this pair up as "awesome community leaders" and similar. Stevens is the returning officer for the election. The two both won their seats and are now Labour Councillors. If you see this sort of thing going on over the next 12 months please let me know please - or the local Conservative Party for that matter.)

Bent Blues - More of the Same?

Labour, in the form of David Jamieson, had West Mids Chief Constable Dave "Call Me Dave" Thompson right under the thumb as Police and Crime Commissioner and we have seen that this manifested itself in Sadders with a series of police puppets dancing to the tune of the corrupt Council. Alas, Labour won this post again and so there is no obvious prospect of any improvement in policing in Sandwell by the Bent Blues.

Suits You!

If ever there was a visual metaphor for the slovenly, couldn't care less, attitude of Labour and the get-up-and-go attitiude of the Tories last Friday it was there for all to see in the dress standards at the Count.

As ever, the comrades looked as if they had just been begging on West Brom High Street and ambled about like mobile charity shop mannequins. Meanwhile most of the Tories - David Fisher especially - were super-smart, showed respect and brought a sense of dignity to an important civic occasion. (I say most since Liam Abrahams eschewed the suit - although he is very young - and was at least wearing what might be considered fashionable gear in this day and age.)

Appearance isn't everything but vote grunge, get grunge!

Banker Beats W*nker!

This blog prides itself on accuracy and the above headline is slightly misleading but just too good not to use! Regular readers will know that Labour tried to impose John Tipper on Old Warley Ward - a man who had been a Sandwell Councillor before when he borrowed a taxpayer-owned phoned and then used it to film himself masturbating. Labour took its usual f*ck you attitude to decent Sandwell people and Richard Oliver, the new Labour Regional Office supremo, told other Party members that he was somehow "satisfied" with Tipper's explanation of his gross and obscene conduct!

There were two seats up this time in Old Warley and Labour won one of them. But locals couldn't stomach electing a w*nker and Tipper lost - a direct rebuke to Labour and to the absurd Oliver.

One of the Tories, an intelligent local man Jay Anandou, won the second seat. Jay works for a major bank. Technically, he is not a "banker" as he works in financial analysis but, as above, the headline wrote itself lol!

Incidentally - this blog was the ONLY local media outlet to inform you of the lewd activities of Comrade J*zz since the local, left-wing, mainstream media specifically decided to hide this from the voters of Old Warley. The BBC, Express and Star and Birmingham Mail - to name but three - were all very well aware of the facts but didn't want to damage the Labour vote. They kept the information from you folks! Read The Skidder, Kidder for the truth about bent Sandwell!

Sandwell Scum - Part Two

Once again, the poll last week was blighted by low turnout. The excellent local Independent candidate in Tipton Green, Richard Jeffcoat, lost but garnered over 1,000 votes - an incredible result (and I am sure we haven't heard the last of Richard). He said this:

"If you don't vote, you think that makes a statement that you don't approve of any of them [i.e. the parties]. But you're wrong - in an area like ours, with massive dominance by one party, all you're doing is letting them do what they like. And Sandwell Labour is too dangerous and malevolent to be trusted any more."

I will be more direct. Despite the easy availability of postal voting, 159,037 Sandwell adults were too thick and/or lazy to vote. These are the xxxxs who regularly tell me they "care" about the Black Country and their communities. They claim they "will do anything for their kids". They are liars and scum with no self-respect let alone empathy for others. As above - they have been shafted by Labour for 47 years and they thoroughly deserve it. And I am sure Labour will continue to oblige for the next 12 months.

Andy Street - Mayor or Mare?

The Conservatives held the West Midlands mayoralty. But the jury is still out on Street in respect of Sandwell matters. Indeed, there is mystery in respect of his attitude to Labour's bent deal to destroy Lion Farm Fields. 

I managed to catch up with Andy last week and see what you make of his responses on Lion Farm:

Horror Stories

A stalwart of the disastrous Eling Cabinet, who kept her mouth well and truly shut during that period, Kerrie Carmichael, was re-elected by the morons of Blackheath. In West Brom Central, voters mysteriously voted for "former Jewess" Laura "Sicknote" Rollins. Why, why, why?

But the prize for the this year's thickest ward goes to Wednesbury North who inflicted Peter "Zorro" Hughes, aka "Alberich", on the Borough again. Now this strutting peacock will force us all to listen to his lengthy and absurd speeches (aka "The Vagina Monologues") at meeting after meeting - a real "treat" for the new members on all sides!

Mr Blobby Humiliated

This Richard Oliver chap at Labour Regional Office is off to a flyer. Not only did he allow the selection of Tipper (see above) but the Party tried to force yet another of the awful Giles family on Sandwell in the wobbling form of "The Godfather", John Giles, in Friar Park.

West Bromwich East Labour Party is the repository of some of the nastiest people in Sandwell and they clearly tried to force another of "their own" onto local people - but with disastrous results.

As an aside, this year's count could not be held at Tipton Sports Academy as it is a Covid testing centre and so an absolutely enormous marquee village was set up at god knows what expense in Sandwell Valley. The number of security staff was absolutely astonishing and one was very aggressive indeed towards Tory candidates in Zone 1. At one point, another security man (whom I do not know) came up and, having addressed me as "Julian" (?), informed me that, due to Covid restrictions, I must not move away from the area I was allocated to (Great Barr and Yew Tree). I pointed out to him that at that precise moment, Mr Blobby Giles had left his Friar Park pitch and was talking to Jedward on the Greets Green count. (In fact he had been wobbling round the tent all morning looking as if he owned it - although that was probably Derek Rowley (joke, folks)) After much conversation, the security man did get Giles to move but later he had moved a chair and was plonked in the narrow walkway at the Newton Ward count! (As ever with the bent SMBC paid service - one rule for Labour ...) From his throne, Blobby started mouthing off at WBE MP Nicola Richards at one point - a process akin to being attacked by a poisonous jelly. Absolutely no class again from this coarse man - just a grotesque sense of entitlement typical of Sandwell Labour in general and WBE Labour in particular.

Friar Park is, of course, the ward of The Sandwell Slasher, Simon Hackett - blogs passim ad nauseum and see legal notice below.  As I have pointed out many times, his appalling cowardice has cost Sandwell hundreds of thousands of pounds which could have done so much good in his ward. But locals have finally seen the light and Blobby secured a humiliating low Labour vote.

Of course, Hackett has no shame whatsoever. He makes it a massive deal that he "walks round" Friar Park on a Sunday in case anyone wants to talk with him (big deal, and there have been many uncharitable comments locally on his weekly ramble). Although his own misconduct has undoubtedly been a factor in Labour losing the seat, this pathetic man put this on Twitter:

"Labour needs to listen to why we lost in Friar Park last Thursday. I intend to speak to as many local people as possible in our area on what went wrong and what we need to do to put it right."

Answer: (a) you are an astonishingly vain man Hackett and I'm surprised you don't own an array of mirrors and (b) resign!

Independent Candidate Wayne Trinder didn't do as well as hoped and has decided not to stand again. But Wayne is a good bloke and I am sure that when the dust settles he will still be a big part of community activity. I wish him and his family well.

Scott Chapman scored a spectacular win for the Tories and is a good bloke. Blue heaven after red hell?

* Statistical note - it is not possible to be completely sure sure of the figures on the data available since three wards elected an extra councillor. I have calculated the highest Labour figure figure in each case as it is more probable than not that most - though not all - of them also voted for the other Labour candidate.
