Technical Blog - McNally's Particulars of Claim

This post may not be for the general reader although many will be intrigued at the malicious nature of the claim brought against me and this blog by Lisa McNally, the Director of Public Health at bent Labour Sandwell Council, which she expects the taxpayer to pay in excess of £100,000 for.

This is how this greedy and malevolent woman put her meretricious claim with the connivance of David Stevens (the now-sacked Chief Executive), Surjit Tour (the head of Sandwell's Legal [sic] team and statutory Monitoring Officer) and Cllr Maria Crompton (the political leader of the Council at the time).

McNally's QC (Queen's Counsel) - Aileen McColgan - has received in excess of £40,000 from the taxpayer - for this poorly pleaded document and other work on the disastrous, failed, case.

Page 1

The bullet points to note from this page are:

that the case is in McNally's own name. This is her case. She should pay for it and not try to **** over the people of Sandwell and beyond for over £100,000;
she is making an allegation of harassment and a supposed data breach claim;
the hand of scumbag David Stevens - the now sacked Chief Executive - in this conspiracy is immediately apparent;
the bent Labour Council owes no duty of care to an employee in respect of his/her personal Twitter account. This is pure fiction to try and f*ck local taxpayers for McNally's costs.

Page 2

Bullet points:

there is a completely gratuitous comment about my wife intended to imply an ulterior motive in respect of my journalism. This is a standard trope that bent Labour have been using over and over again for several YEARS;
once again you will see that Stevens (with Tour's support) is pulling the strings here. Sandwell thought that his evidence would automatically be believed by the Court because of his status but robust evidence was submitted to counter his nasty and fictitious hatchet job;
McNally cynically brought her pal "Dr" Alison Knight into the case. The odd thing here is that Knight did not provide a formal witness statement;
in replying to this nonsense I stood by everything I had written about the hapless Knight. Yes, she was friends with Pam Pulsford/Eling; yes, she played a major role in the disastrous Click Sandwell shambles; yes, her second stint at Sandwell was also a disaster-zone;
it is just going over the page but Stevens claimed that Knight's absolutely disastrous performance at the infamous bent Audit Meeting in 2018 was due to me being present! (The video is on YouTube for all to see.) The venomous McNally signed the document saying all this was true which is odd as she wasn't there and wasn't even working for Sandwell then! How the f*ck could any of this constitute harassment of her? Of course, it doesn't, and this was just a vicious smear by McNally, Stevens, Tour and Crompton.

Page 3

Bullet Points:

McNally has signed a statement of truth which makes it plain that she will be in contempt of court if she is not telling the truth. So is she saying the stuff I have written about Alison Knight is untrue? As above, I gave a robust defence of my writing about the hapless "Dr" Knight to the Court;
Why is Knight hiding behind McNally and Stevens? Why is Stevens giving her evidence, on her behalf, in an attempt to smear me?
Note McNally's QC has used the word "vitriol" to denigrate my journalism?;
Look who pops up providing evidence now - Surjit Tour! McNally gave a statement confirming that Stevens and Tour "persuaded" her to bring her spiteful case. This was shortly after I had made a formal complaint about Tour. Incredibly he was part of the conspiracy to bring the case using taxpayers' money and yet also provided evidence against me in the same case (I matter which is the subject of a formal complaint to the appropriate authorities.) Once again, Tour's attempted smear is not provided in a statement by him but via Stevens and yet the QC is pleading it as true information. Why?

Page 4

Bullet Points:

Once again Tour is part of the conspiracy to bring the case using public money and is then a participant in trying to smear me. How is this being allowed to happen? He is the statutory Monitoring Officer of the Council!;
Amy Hodgkins joins in the attack and I have written about that elesewhere*. McNally was quite happy to misuse junior staff to further her own ends;
I put in a very robust response to Stevens's lies about me supposedly harassing staff. I have stood outside OCH for years and never shouted abuse as alleged by him or at all. You will see that vengeful McNally, Stevens and Tour are throwing the kitchen sink at me to destroy my reputation;
It is patently obvious that Stevens, Tour and McNally are seeking to prevent me attending OCH and holding the corrupt Council to account - a direct collateral purpose to McNally's vicious claim - also apparently supported by Crompton;
Note the absurd but particulalry nasty smear that staff fear for the safety of family members. This is outright lying and McNally was so desperate to destroy me she signed a statement of truth confirming what he says is true!

Page 5

Bullet Points:

I do not accept, of course, that my journalism about McNally's private Twitter account constitued abuse (and neither did the High Court);
At this time McNally was beginning to make what became very frequent appearances in the local media;
McNally and Aileen McColgan QC chose selected extracts from my blog for this Court document whilst deliberately omitting further passages which put my comments in context;
McNally makes it clear that the video was not put up on her personal Twitter account as part of her employment with SMBC;
Even from the passages quoted I - perfectly reasonably - made it quite clear that many would not agree with my view which hardly chimes with me "harassing" McNally.

Page 6

Bullet Points:

I accepted in my evidence to the Court that my use of the words "the f*ck" was probably going too far and that had McNally complained to me at the time, it is highly probable that I would have removed those words - but only those two words. I pointed out that McNally did NOT complain either via the legal notice appended to each blog post, or otherwise, and she confirmed to the Court that she made no complaint to me at the time. Of course, McNally's journo mates did try and stitch me up and attempted to organise a Twitter "pile-on" against me. They were Jane Haynes - an editor, no less, of the Birmingham Mail and the now dead troll, George Makin. McNally gave evidence that she made a complaint to Twitter but when challenged to produce the documentation relating to this she was unable or unwilling to comply;
The point about "blocking" on Twitter is important since it shows yet again that McNally's malicious claim related solely to stuff she was putting on her own personal Twitter account. This had/has nothing whatsoever to do with her employers. For those unfamiliar with the workings of Twitter, "blocking" is a safety feature whereby a person can block interactions with anyone they don't want to communicate with - for whatever reason. McNally blocked me and then started going through the list of my followers and blocking them too (though in garbled evidence she suggested at one point that this was untrue leading to me presenting the Court with a number of "screenshots" showing that it most definitely was). She only stopped this absurd campaign when there was a torrent of complaints from people she was blocking - especially from folk who said she was discriminating against them in depriving them of her Covid output! In a particularly bizarre incident she blocked an old school-friend of mine in Lincolnshire who has no interest in Sandwell matters whatsoever!

Page 7

Bullet Points:

My comment several months before this spiteful litigation that McNally had/has a thin skin was prescient;
McNally attacked my description of her (twice) on Twitter as a "weirdo" after the "blocking" episode referred to above. Quite why a minor Twitter spat was being litigated in the High Court - unlawfully, at taxpayers' expense - remains a mystery and one for Sandwell's External Auditor, Mark Stocks of Grant Thornton, to unravel. In any event, I gave evidence to the Court that McNally's obsessive stalking and blocking of my own Twitter followers was, indeed, "weird" and so there was nothing wrong in describing her strange behaviour as such;
Paragraph 22 is very interesting. Shortly before Stevens, Tour, McNally & Crompton conspired to use taxpayers' money for this litigation I had made formal complaints to SMBC about Tour and McNally. My complaint about McNally related specifically to what I perceived - along with many others - to be her overtly "political" propaganda. For reasons that I explained to the Court, I head 99% of correspondence to bent Sandwell with a header that the content is not "private and confidential". McNally seemed to be arguing - with unlawful taxpayer funding - that she was not complaining about the fact that I had made a formal complaint about her but that I had said this might be made public. This, she claimed, constituted "harassment". This is, of course, complete nonsense particularly as I am a journalist. My barrister made submissions that this appeared to be a chilling attempt by SMBC to prevent or hamper complaints being made about staff. Insofar as the rambling submissions of Aileen McColgan QC at the hearing in London made any sense, she appeared to retreat from this and many other parts of the malicious claim. Under pressure from the Judge she conceeded that her argument on this b*llocks was "not her best point"!

Page 8

Bullet Points:

As a responsible journalist wishing to write about McNally's qualifications to question top Governement scientists, I had written to her about her CV. She claimed to the Court that the email went into "spam" but I will write further about this in another post. Suffice to say, mine seems to be the only email sent to her that "went missing". In any event, McNally did not provide information concerning her qualifications and career;
Once again, McNally and McColgan QC have been highly selective in the parts of my blog posts they refer to. I did not question McNally's qualifications to be a Director of Public Health. What I did question was her medical qualifications as against those of the likes of Chris Whitty, Chief Medical Officer, and the members of the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation;
McNally was somehow embarrassed when she was outed as a "clinical psychologist" (a perfectly respectable professional position) rather than as a medical practitioner (which ALL the people in Sandwell I have been in communciation with thought she was, due to the constant references to her as "Dr Lisa McNally"). The point here is that McNally could not sue me for defamation since what I was saying was absolutely true - she is not, and never has been, a GMC-registered doctor. Hence why the absurd "harassment" claim was cooked-up against me instead.

Page 9

Bullet Points:

There is nothing much to add here. I make it completely clear that McNally has a PhD;
I also go on to say that it is not her qualification per se that is relevant but her experience and expertise compared to others that is the whole point. Obviously I made this point forcibly myself and via my legal team once the unlawfully taxpayer-funded litigation commenced.

Page 10

Bullet Points:

Again there is selective editing of the posts but I stood foursquare behind what I had written during the Court process. My lawyers (and another top media lawyer who looked at the papers early doors) were amazed that the quoted passages were being described as "harassment". At the hearing itself McColgan QC became increasingly desperate and basically fell back on a generic - and untrue - allegation that I was "denigrating" McNally's self-described serious mental health issues;
Paragraph 26 contains the most absurd and desperate attempt to smear me by McNally even by the standards of this heap of ordure. It is true, as I explained in a detailed statement to the Court, that when I disseminate the blog via Facebook and Twitter the first photo in any blog post is shown with the title of the post. The post complained of did refer to McNally along with other issues. But the image of the "Bell End" Sandwell road sign was specifically illustrating a piece where I referred to an allegation that a male councillor was shagging a Sandwell employee whilst she was "working from home". Unbelievably, McNally is so poisonous that she claimed I was referring to HER as a "bell end". I pointed out to the Court that the term was a specific reference to the male anatomy, that - as above - the piece clearly referred not to McNally but to a male councillor and that it was ridiculous to suggest that this was peculiarly male insult was directed at a female! Desperate stuff.

Page 11

Bullet Points:

Once again McNally is scraping the barrel. A third party put up a tweet that she should be sacked. I quoted the Tweet saying that Crompton thought she was "brilliant" and that we would have to wait and see how things turn out. In other words, I was specifically NOT agreeing that she should be dismissed (and I also did not call for this when I made the formal complaint referred to above) but McNally claimed that it did! (You, dear readers, have paid through the nose for this nonsense, as have I.);
Of course, paragraph 28 is absurd. There was no "course of conduct" and it was perfectly obvious that my posts were newsworthy responses to McNally's personal Twitter output. In my responses to the Court I also explained that a Director being paid in excess of £105,000 per annum (+ gold-plated pension) out to have the sang-froid to accept legitimate criticism;
I don't want to go into McNally's medical situation in any detail. Suffice to say that I presented evidence to the Court contemporaneous to her alleged "problems" wherein she boasted about her fitness levels etc. With regard to the alleged "facial twitch" I viewed much footage of her via her frequent media appearances and there was no visible evidence of this at all. Despite making these claims (as we shall see, to try and obtain financial compensation) McNally was upset that I investigated them to provide myself with a defence and accused me of "stalking her"! It should be remembered that she signed a statement of truth claiming all this stuff was true and that she realised she would be in contempt of court if it was not;
I produced a schedule that her media appearances did not tail off as alleged;
You will clearly see the plot by Stevens, Tour, McNally and Crompton to stop me attending Oldbury Council House. She was bizarrely trying to get an injunction to stop me going within 50m of her WHEN I HAD NEVER EVEN MET HER!;
McNally has boasted of her close relationship with the Sandwell trade unions and they were only too happy to try to help her with her claim although the evidence was discounted as irrelevant. Once again, McNally had no compulsion in using junior staff to try and further her malicious claim;
Please notice how the evidence is all manufactured "in house" - McNally tells the CEO etc etc. [There will be a further post on this soon.] The Court is expected to accept that these highly-placed individuals are not lying which placed me in a very difficult position. Happily, they so egregiously over-egged the pudding, their attempted stitch-up was all too obvious;
The Claimant is only aware of matters before she started at SMBC though hearsay evidence that was certainly not impartial to say the least! Note also how Knight purported to give evidence through Stevens again rather than directly.

Page 12

Bullet Points:

We are back to pure fiction. I have never met McNally and have no idea if she was at the meetings she refers to (where she fails to provide specific dates or details). If she was there when I was there she would have been surrounded my colleagues and councillors. You will see how desperate the little band is to nail me with ludicrous claims like "he has a loud voice". It is very rare for me to "loiter" in the Link reception unless I am in conversation with coundillors and have never seen her in that area of OCH. But here she makes the key admission that she cooked this nasty claim up with Stevens and Tour on 27th January, 2021. (She later told the Court - twice - she would resign if she didn't get an injunction - a preposterous threat to the High Court - but has not actually done so.);
We are then into pure fantasy about me somehow suggesting SHE is a danger - which I didn't. Of course, when this started I knew nothing whatsoever abour her husband (although I do now following his attempts to infiltrate the blog Facebook Group etc);
I will write in a separate post about the "in house" evidence manufactured re "counselling" etc;
What is clear is that this woman did not want ANYONE "calling into question my qualifications and suitability for the job" - but especially me, and this suited the purposes of Stevens, Tour and Crompton to unlawfully splash the taxpayers' cash;
I will deal with the date protection point in the next section.

Page 13

Note this first image was the original Particulars of Claim - see further below for the Amended Version as there is an important change:

Bullet Points:

McColgan QC pleaded this fantastical data protection claim based on McNally's vengeful and risible allegation that I should not be allowed to comment on things she herself had put on her personal Twitter account! In particular, her "Lisa's Story" video. Leaving aside for the moment that I am a journalist, what she is saying is that it was fine for complete strangers to comment on her video but not me. This was totally absurd and McNally withdrew this part of the Claim on the morning of the hearing - but only after my legal team had expended time and money preparing a counter-argument. McColgan also left this Claim "hanging" under the rules of Court pleading. It's a bit arcane and technical but the QC did not repeat the claim under the "prayer for relief" - the bit that starts: "And the Claimant Claims". It is all absurd to the lay reader but not funny for me as Iwas paying hundreds of pounds an hour to my legal team who were concerned that the Pleading was deficient and as to what effect this might have on our application to strike out McNally's case. This was shoddy work by the QC which ended up costing me hard cash even though this part of the Claim was withdrawn on the day of the hearing. For the sake of completeness, the Judge also gave this aspect of the matter - and alleged Human Rights issues arising from McNally's own posts on her personal Twitter account - short shrift.
McNally maliciously applied for an "interim" injunction and then a "permanent" one. She sought draconian provisions eg, that I did not go within 50 yeards of her in a seperate application. ONCE AGAIN I HAD NEVER EVEN MET HER! She later withdrew the "interim" application shortly before a hearing;
It should be remembered that Cllr Rajbir Singh took over as political Leader at bent Sandwell from Crompton but was quickly made aware of the unlawful nature of Sandwell's attempts to use taxpayers' money to bring McNally's personal claim. Singh apparently did nothing to halt this nonsense and to save further costs.

Amended Page 13:

Bullet Points:

This is a key page. Not only does it show the shocking greed of McNally but, even if there is a scintilla of doubt that Sandwell taxpayers' paying for her might somehow be legal, this blows that right out of the water. McNally - with no financial risk to herself (and remember she earns over £105k per annum plus all the trimmings) on the basis that YOU and I would pay for this nonsense - decided to also try and enrich herself at my expense. This avaricious xxxx made a personal claim with your money for £10,000. MCNALLY'S FUNDING AGREEMENT WITH STEVENS, TOUR AND CROMPTON WAS UNLAWFUL ANYWAY BUT THIS SHOWS THAT THIS WAS HER PERSONAL CLAIM BEYOND ANY QUESTION OF ANY MINISCULE ELEMENT OF DOUBT.
Incidentally, quite where McNally thought I would get the money from if she won I don't know but I believe this embittered woman was just out to bankrupt me and this blog.

Page 14

Bullet Points:

Julia Lynch, a senior Solicitor at bent Sandwell, messed this up as she used the wrong "statement of truth". This was corrected with, as above, McNally signing to say that she understood that she must tell the truth and that she would be in contempt of court if she did not. I will leave you to judge how much of the above is "true".

A quick reminder of what happened in the case:

McNally withdrew her interim injunction application on the Friday before the hearing on the following Tuesday;
My legal team applied to strike out her claim in its entirety, at the earliest opportunity;
McNally withdrew her absurd data protection claim on the morning of the strike out hearing;
The Court struck out her claim;
McNally's costs exceed £100,000 which she expects the taxpayer to pay for her.

AGAIN, A SPECIAL SHOUT OUT FOR MY AMAZING SOLICITOR, MARK LEWIS OF PATRON LAW, AND MY BRILLIANT BARRISTER, RICHARD MUNDEN OF 5RB CHAMBERS.

Mayor's Disgraceful Meltdown In Face of People Power!

Truly astonishing scenes at bent Labour Sandwell Council last night as demonstrators beseiged Oldbury Council House (OCH) and Labour responded with the usual bullying. They don't like it up em!

Three Demonstrations

This blog has pleaded with Sandwell folk to get off their knees and fight back against the corrupt Labour Dictatorship and my heart sang as there were no less than THREE demos outside OCH last night.

First-up was "Save Brandhall Green Space" objecting to yet another Labour plan [sic] to destroy what little green space remains in Sadders. Even if you do not live near Brandhall you should consider supporting this Group if you want to stop Labour's desperate attempts to flog any green space they can. They have already destroyed Londonderry Fields and seek to destroy Lion Farm Fields. Recently they attempted to destroy Goldicroft Park. Labour is so desperate for money they are determined to destroy any Sandwell green space outside Warley Woods and Sandwell Valley and they must be stopped!

The second demo was to Save Walker Grange Care Home which Labour also want to sell and are bizarrely suggesting that somehow they "might" find some problems with the building during a consultation process! See further below.

Thirdly, there was an anti-racism demo. Just let that sink in for a moment - this was an anti-racism demo against a LABOUR Council! This all relates to the hopeless Wragge Report, riddled with bias and racism. A review by Neil Cox found multiple problems with the Report but Cllr Maria Crompton and now Cllr Rajbir "Rajbean" Singh - The Boy Blunder - have supressed the Report for over a year with the connivance of many of their comrades who are anxious to suppress the evidence of racism.

In this third matter, that loosest of loose cannons, Cllr "Red" Yvonne Davies, put down a question on the meeting agenda for Rajbean to explain why the Cox Review has not yet been released. She was due to travel from her near half-million pound pad in Herefordshire to sh*thole Sadders to tackle Labour's answer to Mr Bean, but pulled-out without explanation and withdrew her question. Whether all this was a deliberate ploy to stop the Tory Councillors asking the same question remains to be seen. She is certainly desperate to be allowed back into the Labour Party and so perhaps a deal was done? Red always has plenty to say for herself but will no doubt explain why she has let Sandwell people down yet again.

Now the Tory Councillors will need to put down the question for the next meeting although it may become irrelevant as the Review has now been leaked to various journos.

The three demos were good-humoured without any aggro and were graced by the presence of two of the local Conservative MP's, Shaun Bailey and Nicola Richards. Yet a large number of feeble Labour Councillors were too cowardly to walk past the demos and sneaked into OCH via the, er, back passage. Of course the weakest of the weak like Cllr Paul "the Cipher" Moore always sneak in but last night even the likes of Maria Crompton were seen scurrying across the internal "bridge" to the Council chamber.

A woman with long blonde hair could also be seen using the bridge who looked suspiciously like Cllr Ellen Fenton (Labour, Bristnall) which would be rather surprising given how she told me at the election count how fiercely independent she is. The fact of the matter is that this shower is unused to challenge and opposition and would rather creep about like little mice than meet Sandwell folk face to face.

Mayor Mushtaq's Appalling Behaviour

The meeting started at 6pm with a large contingent of Walker Grange protestors in the public gallery waiting to hear a motion put down by Conservative Councillor, Archer Williams (Princes End). The protestors included two elderly gentleman (one in his carpet slippers) who had been on the demo outside since before 5pm. Archer's motion was the penultimate item on the agenda but in an act of spectacular duplicity and cruelty Rajbean and the Labour comrades did not bring the matter up the agenda - presumably hoping that the demonstrators would give up and go home long before witnessing a large number of Labour Councillors vote to keep closure of the care home as an option. But these folk are made of sterner stuff than the Labour yellow-bellies and stayed put.

Rajbean brutally forced these poor folk - including elederly people- to wait until 9.30pm - four and a half hours after most had arrived - before they could eventually go home. But they stuck it out and it was so inspiring to see the elderly gentlemen stand up at the front of the gallery so that those Labour cowards intent on selling their home could see the sort of people their sick policy is affecting. Rajbean hardly looked up at the public gallery but stared straight ahead or played with his phone!

The meeting had proceeded at glacial pace with Mayor Mushtaq giving the impression of not knowing what he was doing. He became increasingly tetchy and was losing control of the meeting. In incredible scenes this pathetic, childish, joke then thumped the desk and got up and walked out "in a fury" (per local journo Rhi Storer). He was completely out of control and didn't give a f*ck about the people in the public gallery or watching online who now had more delay to the proceedings.

When the meeting resumed we were actually asked to stand when this plank entered the chamber as a mark of respect! This joke should have been sent home and the Deputy Mayor should have chaired the rest of the meeting. But Mushtaq made no apology for his shocking conduct when the meeting finally restarted. Indeed he resorted to more Labour bully-boy tactics, threatening to clear the public gallery if we upset him.

Incredibly, he then sh*t his nest again. As the supposedly impartial chair of the meeting he started intervening in the Walker Grange debate. This was completely out of order but Surjit Tour, Sandwell's highly controversial Monitoring Officer who was sitting right next to him, appeared to make no attempt to stop this clown soiling the dignity of his office for a second time. There are now serious questions whether he should be stripped of the role of Mayor or, at the very least, confined to ceremonial duties and kept away from meetings.

I have written to the Mayor this morning asking if he is intending to apologise for his terrible conduct and I will let you know his reply.

You know the Comrades are bricking it when they suddenly start playing the "victim" card. They are clearly rattled at the onslaught from Shaun Bailey MP, the Conservative Councillors, Walker Grange residents and the protestors. Thus some Labour Councillors suddenly started to publicly decry alleged "social media threats" to Cllr Suzanne Hartwell. This is a classic Labour ploy used many times over the years to try and stifle legitimate comment and enquiry (look at Lisa McNally recently). I spoke to a number of the protesters who had absolutely no knowledge of the alleged harassment and so I have also written to Hartwell asking her to send The Skidder screenshots of the threatening posts. Again, I will let you know what she comes up with.

Bostan - The New Zorro Hughes

Before the Conservative Councillors arrived on the scene in May, Labour had the pitch to themselves and behaved with utter contempt for the people of Sandwell. Bent Labour agreed the outcome of the meeting the night before and then rushed through the agenda pausing only for some political "grandstanding" speeches. As this blog has described many times, these affairs were made even more vomit-inducing by the toe-curling interventions of Sandwell Labour's most ludicrous Councillor, Peter "Zorro" Hughes. His comments were usually confined to metaphorically rimming the Leader (particularly Squealing Eling) or the allegedly good works of Sandwell Labour.

Fortunately the grovelling Hughes appears to have lost his tongue but he has been replaced by another ridiculous show pony, Cllr Ahmad "Boastin" Bostan. Boastin caused uproar at the last Council meeting by insulting those in the publc gallery and there now seems to be no agenda item where he doesn't feel the need to blame the 47 years of Labour failure in Sandwell on the wicked Tories. With a complete lack of self-awareness he accuses everyone else of "grandstanding" when he is, er, grandstanding to a whole new level.

Last night's meeting did not finish until nearly 10.15 and if Boastin is going to continue with constant spouting of his trite garbage we are in for some more very long nights!

Pravda Saved

Labour voted down a Tory motion to phase out the absurd Labour propaganda sheet, the Sandwell Herald. As ever, when change is planned, Cllrs like Fenton and Randhawa were quick to explain that elderly residents of Sadders somehow "rely" on the thrice-yearly Herald for "information". Apparently the old in Sandwell are so useless and pathetic they need the propaganda sheet otherwise they somehow would not be able to access Council services.

I think most Skidder readers will have heard about Covid 19. It has been in the media incessantly for the last 18 months but these Labour clowns seriously claimed that the issue of Pravda every 4 months or so was "vital" in providing local residents with Covid information. What a total load of bollocks.

Perhaps Fenton and Randhawa should have looked up at the public gallery and seen the brave oldies fighting for their care home before patronising them and lumping them in with the dimwitted morons they appear to associate with.

There was some dispute at the meeting about the number of photos in the last edition of Pravda of Rajbean with estimates of between 13 and 15! What a total waste of money to try to prop up the failing Labour Dictatorship.

Spotted in the Public Gallery

A curious presence in the Gallery last night - David "Methodism in his Madness" Hallam - the official "Rimmer-In-Chief" of disgraced former Labour Leader, Steve "Squealing" Eling aka "The Milkman".

If Halloumi was there to report back to Labour on Rajbean's leadership I am sure, as a man of God, that he will be obliged to describe an absolute bloody shambles last night!

A Small Mistake

I disremember which Labour Councillor said last night, "we all live in Sandwell". Well Cllr Iqbal Padda doesn't.

Piper wants to go after private Landlords

Wealthy Cllr Bob "Seig Heil" Piper who postures as a hard leftie to the w*nkers in Bearwood/Abbey said last night he wants to go after private landlords which must have come as a surprise to some of his Labour colleagues who do very nicely by renting out properties. Surjit Tour is deliberately trying to conceal their property interests in their Register of Interests which is the subject of an ongoing dispute (watch this space).

FINAL COMMENT

People power was the winner last night. Not everyone in Sandwell is as weak as p*ss and folk are beginning to fight back against Labour corruption, cronyism and incompetence. Long may it continue!

Sandwell Labour Racism Row Set To Explode!

My apologies before I start for the dearth of posts lately. I was working away last week and have also been unwell.

Labour's Racist Cover-Up Collapsing!

Regular readers will know that bent Sandwell Labour Council undertook a review (The Cox/Stevens Review) into the disastrous Wragge Report (posts passim ad nauseum). The Review found strong evidence of racism and bias by the solicitors involved (now known as Gowling WLG). Labour spent a fortune on a QC (sound familiar folks?) and it is understood that the recommendation was that the Review should be publicly disclosed. But former Labour Leader [sic] Maria Crompton - still a Cabinet member - and her colleagues then proceeded to block disclosure.

The demolition of the Wragge Report will also raise serious questions of West Midlands Police's Chief Constable Dave Thompson and his Bent Blues.

Incidentally, this blog has called on Gowling WLG to repay the £180,000 corrupt Labour happily paid for the Wragge Report but they have refused to do so. They appear to have no problem profiting from racism.

Bizarrely, the likes of new "Leader" Rajbir "Rajbean" Singh, Cllr Ahmad Bostan and head of Audit, Cllr Gill, have somehow been "unable" to force the disclosure lol! Given that Bostan hardly moves his lips without chanting "Black Lives Matter" and that he has now joined the very Cabinet that is actively suppressing the Review, one has to ask what exactly his position is in respect of Sandwell Labour's cover-up of racist conduct?

But things are rapidly coming to a head. If you have a Twitter account please take a look at @SMBCexposed where someone is disclosing parts of the Review. The disclosures so far are also damning about the disgraced former Chief Executive, Jan Britton.

But, of course, Sandwell Labour continue to try and stuff the genie back into the bottle. SMBC sources say that, as usual, Labour were considering the big stick of legal action against people leaking the Review but there is a major problem with that since bent Labour has already leaked the Review itself to the Regional Labour Party! It is not known yet whether this unlawful disclosure happened under Crompton or Rajbean but it constitutes a very major data protection breach and I have already reported this to the Information Commissioner. The guilty parties will have to be brought to book for this.

It will be interesting to see what, if any action, the supine Sandwell unions take if any of their members are affected by this serious data breach. Don't hold your breath folks!

It's the full Council meeting at Oldbury Council House (OCH) next Tuesday, 12th October at 6pm. Under Agenda Item 7 former Labour Leader Cllr "Red" Yvonne Davies has officially put the following question to Rajbean:

"Can I ask the Leader why the Cox Review of the Wragge Report has not been made public?"

Light blue touchpaper and retire!

Red has now stopped the pretence of living in sh*thole Sandwell and given-up her rental property. It is not clear whether she will actually travel from her near-half million pound pad in Herefordshire to ask her question in person.

The incessant Labour corruption just cannot be tackled until this sort of scandal, and the cover-up of it, is exposed. This has gone on long enough. Why not join the "usual suspects" who try to fight this appalling conduct outside the Oldbury Council House at 5pm Tuesday to make it clear that Labour can no longer get away with abusing the system. If disclosure was OK to the Labour Party it is OK for the people of Sandwell! It is amazing that Labour - yes, Labour - Councillors need to be reminded that corruption and racism are unacceptable. Come along and tell them that!

Brandhall & Other Protests

It is amazing that the enfeebled people of Sandwell are finally getting-up off their knees. After 47 years of Labour p*ssing on people, folk are finally beginning to fight back against the corrupt and failing Dictatorship.

Social media is alive with groups fighting against Sandwell Labour's continous destruction of green spaces, HMO's, 5G masts and all sorts. Whether you agree with the campaigns or not, this is democracy and community action at last - and another message to bent and failing Labour that their bullying is unacceptable.

The protesters against Labour's plan to destroy the Brandhall golf club greenfield site are having an "informal" meeting at the Wetherspoons opposite the Council House from 4.45pm and I hope they will also venture forth to make their views known to Councillors:

In yet another protest, the Conservative Councillors have been forceful in opposing Labour's plan to close Walker Grange Care Home and have put down a question at Tuesday's meeting.

As we saw in December, 2019 and in May this year you don't have to let Labour p*ss all over you! Fight back!

McNally & Husband Take The P!

One might think that someone who has exhibited an appalling lack of judgement with a malicious legal action against The Skidder - which ended in disaster - McNally (Sandwell's Director of Public Health) might exercise some degree of personal restraint but not a bit of it.

Recently I exhibited a document I submitted to the High Court showing McNally following a number of local anti-Skidder troll accounts. Incredibly, she is now actively and publicly communicating with one - even though the Tweeter from Black Lake has had at least TWO accounts taken down by Twitter for abusive conduct! Clever stuff, eh Rajbean?

In a recent post:

http://thesandwellskidder.blogspot.com/2021/09/urgent-notice-to-skidder-facebook-group.html

I warned all members of this Blog's Facebook Group: The Sandwell Skidder - Speaking Truth to Power, that someone, believed to be McNally (or someone close to her), had started to attack the Group. The person was making complaints to Facebook about posts relating to McNally by people living in Sandwell and having them removed.

But this woman is something else! She then applied to JOIN the Group. This is a woman who was recently trying to have be imprisoned if I went within 50m of her! Needless to say her malicious application was declined.

McNally had sought a draconian injunction against me - even though I had never met her - and claimed that she needed to also protect her husband and family. Of course, I knew absolutely nothing about her family (then) and had no intention of writing about them. Why on earth would I?

But in an incredible twist, McNally's husband also applied to join the Facebook Group knowing that I had just rejected his wife. This - and the attack on Group members - looks a lot like harassment eh readers?

McNally's husband "Gringo" uses a different surname to her (although there is a bit of a mystery about that). Given his provocative application I sent him a Direct Message asking if he was the one and the same xxxxx xxxxxx who ran into some professional difficulties in Basingstoke? He suddenly lost the ability to respond. Needless to say his application was also rejected!

In the meantime, McNally is still expecting YOU to pay her legal costs in excess of £100,000 and four SMBC solicitors - Tour, Price, Lynch and Maher-Smith - have yet to provide a personal warranty that their attempt to pay my costs with YOUR money is lawful.

Red Yvonne has taken to Twitter to say that McNally's malicious case appears to have been totally misconceived and that Surjit Tour should appear before full Council to explain what went on - which would be interesting noting his direct personal involvement in the case. I hope the Conservative Councillors will also press for this!

Oh and McNally now seems to be in charge of the hapless press ~~orifice~~ office in the bent Borough. In the High Court she purported to claim that she was not constantly courting media attention for herself. I'll leave you to be the judges of that dear readers, but we have a new journo on the patch, Rhi Storer, who replaces dead troll George Makin as the BBC-funded local government reporter. McNally has been quick to court her.

Rhi recently said on Twitter that she was blocked on SMBC's dedicated email and that she had twice twice asked the press office to sort this out. In leapt McNally via her personal Twitter account. Once again she appears to have plenty of time on her hands despite Covid since she whined: "You have my email address. And my phone number? I have told you before that I'd always offer to help you get through to someone if you asked me?

Bostan's Poverty Porn - Part 462

When bent Sandwell Labour have dragged the Borough down so comprehensively over 47 YEARS you might think they would hang their heads in shame but these jokers can't resist bragging about how sh*t and poor Labour Sandwell is. Cllrs Bostan and Piper are at it again, playing to their gallery of self-styled leftish "intellectuals" (aka "w*nkers") in the socialist paradise of Bearwood - ROFLMAO!

Boasting Bostan is (metaphorically) getting one off the wrist about Labour Sandwell having a stonking 42,000+ folk on Universal Credit and that in the last seven years (of 47 years of Labour Dictatorship) child poverty has INCREASED under Labour by 7%!

He is going on about "free" (ie. taxpayer-funded) school meals in the school holidays - something Labour in Sandwell brought in during Covid to get on the Marcus Rashford bandwagon. How many of these free meals did Labour dish out in the 45 years before this? Zilch! Zero! F all! Even when Labour were in Government for 13 years and Sandwell was awash with loot how many did they supply - zilch, zero, f all! Don't believe me - ask the rich South London greaser John Spellar MP who purports to represent Warley from afar!

Ahmad neglects to mention the millions being blown on the Commonwealth Games Pool Labour vanity project, the £22m lost on the Providence Place fiasco plus all the smaller losses due to sheer incompetence - the huge pay-off to Stevens, McNally's £100k sp*nked up the wall and so on and so on. That would feed a few kids Cllr Boastan!

New Chief Executive to get £185k + Package

Say what you like (as I frequently do) about Red Yvonne but she will be remembered as Leader for one great thing at least - the sacking of the appalling "Chief ~~Arselicker~~ Executive, Jan Britton. As his quivering buttocks disappeared from OCH he went with nothing but his contractual pay. Red made sure this **** did not receive a pay-off of OUR money to help him on his way.

Alas she rather undid the good work by appointing another pathetic scumbag in his place - Stevens.

In May, Labour inexplicably elected the highly-inexperienced but extremely arrogant Cllr Rajbir Singh as the new Council Leader. In very short order this young man - The Boy Blunder - attempted to sack Stevens but f*cked it up royal and left us taxpayers with a mighty bill! Now this pathetic coward won't tell us how much even though SMBC will have to release the information by law in due course. Sandwell Labour's answer to Mr Bean is surrounded by Labour mentors to wipe their puppet's botty and following the hasty departure of Stevens, he has a stand-in Chief Executive reportedly being paid a King's ransom. There is certainly no austerity with Rajbean and his Cabinet including Crompton, Bostan and "lol" Piper.

During the widespread Labour corruption, cronyism and incompetence of recent years I repeatedly asked whether any local government employee with any ability would risk their career to come and work for such a dysfunctional outfit? Rather than change its ways and starting to behave properly, Labour have decided to throw money at the problem instead - the traditional socialist way. Thus the post of Chief Executive has just been advertised with a substantially increased pay figure of £185,000 per annum + gold-plated pension and "package".

But applicants should be careful. Sandwell could be career suicide. Rajbean threw his weight about and sacked Stevens after a few weeks. If you give up your job to work in Sadders you might not last longer than a Watford Manager! The "package" may be a wrapped-up crock of sh*t.

Other top (!) staff are being appointed at present but as Labour only want (a) Labour supporters and (b) pathetic grovellers, don't hold your breath that the new team will be any better than the last shower. One interesting but possibly worrying new recruit, however is Tony McGovern as the head of Regeneration (hitherto the most corrupt part of the Council along with the Legal Department). Regular readers will know that in one of the biggest bent deals ever attempted by Labour is the 9 year-old plan to flog off Lion Farm Fields for a "designer shopping village" (approved years ago by Cllrs Hackett and Moore who are, unbelievably, still serving Councillors). In the meantime a, er, designer shopping village has been built and opened just 13 miles up the motorway in Cannock under the guidance at the local Council of Mr McGovern. Let's hope that Rajbean is not going to do an Eling and polish this particular turd again but now with the help of someone who appears they might know what they are doing?

And finally...

Once again Sandwell reject and McNally "star non-witness" (more anon) "Dr" Alison Knight has hit the headlines AGAIN down in Croydon!
