Sandwell Labour "Cut The Big" - With Your Money!

It's only YOUR money! When you are being shafted (again) by bent Labour Sandwell Council - this year with fee increases for services and a stonking 4.99% Council Tax rise - it is always gratifying to know that "Dim Kez" Carmichael and Co have been throwing your money around to "cut the big" in local government circles.

In a recent post I referred to the hopeless Local Govenment Association (LGA) "Peer Review" in the dog days of Cllr Steve "Squealing" Eling's tyrannical reign. Before his downfall and disgrace, Eling (aka "The Milkman") tried to save his stinking skin by commissioning one of these efforts. The LGA duly obliged with a pathetic whitewash of the deeply corrupt regime. If you can't sleep, read my technical blog on this shoddy effort:

Now, as the bent Labour Council plunges into chaos once more, Cllrs Crompton and Carmichael are trying the same trick again. Michael Gove, The Secretary of State for Levelling-Up, is currently considering placing the corrupt Council into very necessary "special measures" and Labour are trying to head this humiliation off with ANOTHER whitewash LGA Review! Surely Gove won't fall for this?

In the last five years the cash-strapped Labour Council has paid the grasping "Association" over A QUARTER OF A MILLION POUNDS ex Vat!

Regular readers will remember that paying this lot over 50k a year of your money was not enough for Eling. When the LGA had their conference in Brum he had YOU pay for Sandwell Labour Councillros and LGA delegates to go on a canal boat piss-up too. He and his Cabinet colleagues blew nearly £6,000 of your dosh on the jaunt!

An aside - I was going through some old emails this week and a correspondent kept referring to The Squealer as "Mr Pam". What did he mean lol!

You will be relieved to learn that YOU don't pay for the Peer Reviews which are included in the large sums set out above although Labour wines and dines those it expects to exonerate them. For the 2018 whitewash they paid £1,870 plus vat for "catering". At the even more pathetic "follow-up" in 2019 they paid another £1,010 plus vat. For the latest roll of the dice to try and stop the commissioners coming in, they paid out £1,200 plus vat. This when they claim that after nearly 48 years in control, there are starving kids lying in the streets of Sadders!

Investors in People

Do you remember the odious groveller Darren Carter who was unfathomly promoted to the bent Council's top finance post? He was the scumbag who shafted the Cabinet Secretaries (Skidders passim ad nauseum and see legal notice below). Of course, everyone believes it was "Mr Pam" behind their unlawful suspension, but this pathetic rimmer took the blame! Thankfully, he too was eventually sent packing but not before a moronic bunch of Labour Councillors unbelievably tried to save his job!!!

Look at the second name in the left hand column. Yes the new "Leader", Kerrie "Dim Kez" Carmichael, thought this plank should continue in his job!

This is all a bit of a preamble to the main point. I had to take the corrupt Council to a Tribunal to force out documents relating to the unlawful suspension of the secretaries but when they finally arrived, they contained a Carter email. Not only was this written at precisely the same as his disgraceful treatment of the maligned women, but he took the time to grovel to the now disgraced Jan Britton boasting that contrary to the record, SMBC was a wonderful employer and had, in fact, just been "awarded" the Investors in People (IIP) "Silver Award".

Of course, the IIP is yet another bullsh*t "non-profit" organisation set up to provide non-jobs for the bourgeoisie. And far from dishing out awards on merit, they charge a "fee" for an "assessment".

As with the LGA Peer Review, the assessors are presented to hand-picked Labour arse-lickers who duly sing the praise of the failing Authority. The bent Council has finally revealed that the supposedly prestigious "silver award" cost us taxpayers, er, £1,650 ex vat! All that glisters is not silver in sleazy "socialist" Sadders!

Vision 2030

Sandwell Labour Councillors are mostly thick and moronic and it is impossible to imagine any of them having any sort of "political vision" apart from a continuation of 47 years of brutal dictatorship. What Sandwell needs very urgently is a Vision 2022 and hard work to help people out of Labour's horrible poverty ghetto. But no, it is easier to keep kicking the can down the road and promising things that are highly unlikely ever to materialise. 

Yes there has to be some forward planning - indeed that would be a pleasant change in bent Sadders - but 2030 FFS? Why the arbitrary date? Why STILL eight years away (and the Vision has already been in place for a while)?

As the useless Labour Councillors were unable to come up with any ideas (apart from sp*nking millions up the wall on the Commonwealth Games paddleing pool) they got a, wait for it, Market Research Company to come up with some ideas. At least their collective lack of brain cells only cost you "just" £12,125 ex vat.

FOLKS - Labour are screwing you over and over again!

And finally:

The criminal Labour Councillor, Steve Melia, has now paid me the £200 compensation ordered by Dudley Magistrates' Court after the assault.
