We know that corrupt Sandwell Labour have a history of profligate spending on useless vanity projects (e.g., Providence Place and Sandwell College) and on a plethora of supposedly “free” events (which are, in fact, paid for by the taxpayer whether they approve or not).
We also know that the Labour Dictatorship is vehemently anti-business and enterprise and has done so much, over nearly 49 years, to destroy Sandwell’s pathetic, failing, economy. Witness the appointment of Cllr Bob “Seig Heil” Piper as Deputy Leader - a man who salivated at every ludicrous statement of Jerry “Jeremy” Corbyn and metaphorically masturbated at the prospect of "Jeremy" bringing about the collapse of Capitalism and forcing state control over every aspect of our lives.
But there are a considerable number of Sandwell residents who are no better that prostitutes and, in return for a couple of crappy “free events” per annum, allow Labour to f*ck then for the rest of the year. I keep hearing that Kerrie “Dim Kez” Carmichael - said to be the Labour “Leader” when Piper is unavailable - has been authorising spending like a drunken sailor (no offence to inebriated matelots). After all, she jacked up your rents, other charges, and raised Sandwell Council last year by the highest amount in the whole country, so that she and her comrades could blow your cash at will. Strangely, a number of folk have been ringing The Skidder (phone number below) about Labour’s financial unrestraint and, yet, again, the name Matthew Huggins keeps cropping up.
Because no-one has any commercial acumen in Labour (save for a number of Councillors who have been adept at enriching themselves - like Piper) everything they touch has to be “free” or, when charges are actually made, heavily loss-making. And so it was with the Guy Fawkes night extravaganza at Dartmouth Park last November where the fireworks and bonfire weren’t the only things going up in smoke - so was YOUR money!
I am grateful to Vikram Verma who put in a Freedom of Information Request concerning the Dartmouth disaster* which flushed out that Carmichael & Co., p*ssed £95,229.85 of YOUR money up the wall on a SINGLE event. The free-spending “socialists” spent a stonking £187,843.85 on the bonfire party, but only managed to recover £92,614 - a stonking loss for one night approaching £100k! Don’t forget that these are the same morons who now think they can run Sandwell’s leisure centres better than anyone else!
[Incidentally, Kim Bromley-Derry and the other Government Commissioner are trying to block Vikram from finding out who the suppliers were who received the £187,843.86 - see link below to FOIA*. If YOU know who they were, and how they won their contracts, please contact The Skidder - details below.]
And Kez Tells Sandwell Retailers - go and f*ck yourselves!
I visit Sandwell fairly regularly and cannot help wonder why locals put up with living in such a sh*thole after nearly half a century of Labour control. Only this week I was picking my way through the dog-sh*t smeared streets, including down West Brom’s semi-derelict High Street.
The retail offering across Sandwell is appalling. In the case of dismal West Brom Labour have poured in money, which they might as well have poured down the drain. In true socialist-style - if they see a basket case they throw even more money at it. And that’s the, er, plan for West Brom yet again!
But the “masterplan” is to seriously harm shops all across the Borough by pushing through the totally corrupt Lion Farm shopping centre development - destroying 19 ha of green space in the process. Even the Labour-front organisation, West Bromwich Town Bid, is against the bent deal saying this week:
“We won’t support this due to the footfall being taken away from our 4 shopping centres here in West Brom. Geographically [Lion Farm] is too close to West Bromwich town.”
So there we have it. Dim Kez, Hackett, Paul Moore and other Labour Councillors who have been trying to force the crazed plan through FOR YEARS will spend more millions on West Brom’s shopping area whilst simultaneously backing a bent deal which will harm, er, West Brom shopping centre (and all other retailers across the Borough)! You couldn’t make it up …
We all know that shopping is increasingly moving online and that “bricks and mortar” retailers are struggling with that, with increased fuel and business costs and, of course, with inflation. You might think from this that Dim Kez and her Labour comrades would be bending over backwards to help small businesses, but instead Labour has stuck two fingers up to all the “shopkeepers of Sadders. Kez has, astonishingly, had Sandwell Council use its social media to back this campaign:
Yes folks, Carmichael and her anti-business socialist chums are now telling you NOT to go into shops to buy anything new for the whole month of January. These people are just total ****s!
(Maybe Sadders shopkeepers should run a “pay no business rates to bent Labour” campaign for a month?)
Is it Zorro or a Charity lying?
It is beyond incredible that Cllr Peter “Zorro” Hughes (aka “Alberich”) is a member of Dim Kez’s Cabinet, and an “interesting situation” has inevitably arisen with this twonk being given any serious responsibility.
Zorro is currently forcing through Labour’s plan to destroy a substantial part of the green space at the old Brandhall Golf Course. Bent Labour instructed the Birmingham & Black Country Wildlife Trust to prepare a report on the planned destruction of habitats which they duly did (although not entirely to the satisfaction of the Save Brandhall Green Space campaign group).
Following supposed Labour “scrutiny” of their own scheme to destroy yet more Sandwell Green Space, Zorro spoke at a public Council meeting on 16th November last and said this:
“A new accessible eco-led park [sic] will be designed in consultation with the Birmingham & Black Country Wildlife Trust”.
This caused be to write to the Trust to enquire whether, when they prepared their initial Report, they had already been promised another lucrative contract from bent Labour, and also whether they perceived a conflict of interest between their charitable aims relating to the protection of wildlife and then acting for the comrades in respect of the actual destruction of it. Further, there is also the question whether Labour is rigging the procurement process to make sure the Trust got the job.
So many organisations in sh*thole Sadders are just fronts for the Labour Party and refuse to communicate with The Skidder at all. Thus I was pleasantly surprised when the Trust entered into lengthy, sensible, and detailed correspondence with me.
The Trust defended the findings of its original Report whilst acknowledging that this represents a single “snapshot” of the wildlife present at the time of their “count”. And they were absolutely adamant that:
“No formal approach has been made regarding [the award of another contract] and no agreement has been entered into.”
The Trust explained that it is consulted by a number of local authorities on planning issues and decides whether it is appropriate to act on a case-by-case basis.
I duly wrote to the absurd Alberich asking:
At the last Cabinet meeting when you and your colleagues confirmed the decision to destroy a substantial part of the green space you, yourself promised (6 minutes into your lengthy monologue):
"a new accessible eco-led park which will be designed in consultation with the [Trust}."
Yesterday the Trust confirmed to me that they had not been approached in any way in respect of further work on the Brandhall destruction project. Who is lying, you or them?”
Cllr Hughes did not respond.
There we have it folks - either Zorro or the Trust is lying. Who's your money on, readers?
Bandit Bawa Dies
Former corrupt Labour Councillor Babu Singh Bawa has died. Regular readers will know that Bawa profited from a Sandwell Council compulsory purchase scheme concerning West Bromwich Street, Oldbury in the late 1990’s, and purchased land at Bridge Street in the same town in April, 2000 from, er, bent Sandwell Council (which even they say was at an undervalue).
Incredibly the Bandit was later awarded the OBE (Order of the Brown Envelope) although the award had been referred to the Government's Forfeiture Committee to consider whether it should be rescinded. This followed a referral of Bawa by bent Labour itself to their pals at West Midlands Police.
Bawa also failed to declare an interest in a 2007 planning application.
As we all know, Sandwell Labour stick together like sh*t to a blanket, and protect their own corrupt people like Simon Hackett. But even I was shocked at last May’s Mayor-Making ceremony when bent Labour invited this POS along as a VIP guest. Less “VIP” and more “WTF”? Needless to say the Bandit was still not prepared to answer questions concerning his corruption:

Bizarrely, lying Labour Councillor Parbinder Kaur (recently found to be in breach of the Councillor’s Code of Conduct herself for failing to register her property interests and business as a private landlord) cancelled her January monthly surgery “out of respect” for this greaser. You couldn’t make it up!
