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!
