Bent Labour STILL trying to push through fraudulent Lion Farm deal
If an option to turn a massive green space into a retail park is "so brilliant" why are bent Sandwell Labour still trying to get a Tory donor developer to finalise a deal after 11 years? I have written extensively about the corruption surrounding Labour's plot to destroy Lion Farm Fields and am not going to repeat myself here save to say that I have raised this again with West Midlands Police. A senior officer met with me and said WMP "might" consider looking at alleged "economic crimes" in relation to Lion Farm and - apparently - other deals done with Jeremy Knight Adams, a major Tory Party donor. Alas, they have not come back to me ... yet!
Back in 2012 retail was booming yet the transaction could not be completed. Now the industry is on its knees and yet Labour are still trying to do the damaging deal. The Labour "leader", proven liar Kerrie Carmichael, has continued to try to force a deal through and, yet again, this is all being done secretly. This is deliberate to try to ensure there is no judicial review application to the High Court, and it is astonishing that this is being allowed when Government Commissioners are in charge of the Council with a brief to halt the Labour corruption!
The proposed destruction of the Fields is to be discussed again on Thursday - bizarrely by the Budget and Corporate Scrutiny Management [sic] Board. This suggests that some sort of deal has already been done, but how can this be subject to "scrutiny" in, er, secret. Yes folks, the public and press are excluded from this part of the meeting.
Darryl Magher has been to a number of recent meetings when no Tories have turned up but it is to be hoped that someone will attend this one and ask what the hell is going on? Labour cannot claim "commercial confidentiality" when doing a sweetheart deal with the Tory donor to the exclusion of the rest of the world.
Another matter arises in that pathetic Labour Councillor Paul "The Cipher" Moore is supposed to be chairing the meeting on Thursday when he has been trying to push this bent deal through right from the off. I wrote to The Cipher - copying in "Dim Kez", Tory Leader Dave Fisher, and the Commissioners - but have received no response. Here is the email:
"THIS IS NOT A PRIVATE AND CONFIDENTIAL COMMUNICATION
It is truly incredible given your past history that you are on any scrutiny boards let alone chairing one. However, a specific point arises in connection with the secret (and bent) deal to destroy Lion Farm Fields which you have strongly supported for 10 years.
The bent deal is still, incredibly, being considered by Labour but, once again, everything is being hidden from public view (so much for scrutiny!) However, I understand that an agenda item dealing with the bent deal is before the Scrutiny Committee you "chair" on 5th October - with the press and public inevitably excluded again.
Please confirm within 48 hours that you will recuse yourself from the meeting when this agenda item is dealt with noting your past determination to support the bent deal (for whatever reason you have). More particularly, you were present at the appalling Cabinet meeting of 9th January, 2013 when you and your colleagues received the unlawful report of the inquorate AMLD meeting of 19th December, 2012. You and your colleagues at the meeting acted in a disgraceful and shameful way, dealing with a very full agenda - including the massive Lion Farm option - in just TWO minutes!. This gross negligence by the Committee led directly to the corrupt First Option being forced through.
To pile Pelion upon Ossa you personally presented the absurd and disgraceful "report" of Alison Knight to a meeting on 15th November, 2017 when you knew - or certainly should have known - that this was not an objective report in any way. Indeed it later transpired that Knight's nonsense had not been prepared from any research by her but from information coming from the property developer himself. Nevertheless you put your name to it as you have been so determined to destroy this 19 ha green space for a decade).
There will inevitably be legal action if Labour continues to force through this bent deal through on, at least, the grounds of irrationality and so I also respectfully suggest that your presence when this agenda item is discussed will be grist to the lawyer's mill.
Incidentally, I do not believe any of the Conservative opposition at the Council have bothered to talk to Dudley Council about the reasons why it ditched this same developer from a major project in that Borough. I have - and maybe you and your colleagues should too.
Please reply by 10.25 am Thursday, 28th September at the latest."
This blog recently exposed that not only did bent Labour do the bent Lion Farm deal with Shite Adams but also flogged him and his wife the old Council offices at Stone Cross in 2013. In corrrespondence recently seen by The Skidder the disgraced former Chief Executive, Jan Britton, also claimed the Council may have flogged him land in Tipton. Maggie Knight Adams is involved in many of the network of companies her husband operates and is specifically a Director of Alpha (Stonecross) Limited - the Company directly involved in the Stone Cross deal.
No wonder Malvern Millionairess Mags is smiling knowing that Dim Kez, Bob Piper, corrupt liar Hackett and Paul Moore are so anxious to help her and her husband amass yet more riches, and to p*ss on the people of Sandwell at the same time!
Concealment of Addresses
In my post "Come on Sandwell Folk - soil yourselves again!" of 2nd May, 2023 I mentioned that 23 of the 24 Conservative Councillors deliberately concealed their addresses from voters in the May elections and 20 out of 24 Labour ones did the same. I have now established with definitive proof that one of the Tory candidates had good reason to lie when claiming to "live in Sandwell" as s/he, er, doesn't.
More on this subject soon ...
Vile image right up Andy's street?
Immigration is a serious issue. Many of today's senior Labour Councillors were fully supportive of the late wifebeater "Dickhead" Darren Cooper's "f*ck off" message to the desperate Syrians fleeing a murderous civil war. How times change. Now "the Left" wish to provide refuge for anyone who has the money to pay smugglers to ferry them across the Channel. Whilst some of these folk are undoubtedly genuine refugees, others are economic migrants who, due to Brexit and our poor relationship with the rest of Europe, Britain is unable to immediately deport.
There are very real and difficult questions surrounding immigration not least of which is the pressure on our already creaking NHS and other public services. But anyone who wishes to engage in any sort of sensible debate about this is accused by the lunatic "Left" of being "racist". There is no doubt that there was plenty of racism and xenophobia in Sandwell's decisive vote to leave the EU, but the simple fact is that our Country's economy needs more migrants to prosper. And, when all said and done, we are still a rich country and need to give some of the "huddled masses" a helping hand for purely humanitarian reasons.
But bent Sandwell Labour seemingly wants unlimited and unrestricted entry now for whoever arrives here - legally or otherwise - and the comrades are now bragging of being a "Borough of Sanctuary". Needless to say all the pro-Labour "charities" and other stooge organisations are holding out the begging bowls to grab their share of the taxpayers' money on offer. It seems to me to be cruel and unusual punishment to force asylum seekers to live in sh*thole Sadders, but there we are. Dickhead Daz must be spinning in his grave!
Meanwhile, Conservative MP, Michael Fabricant, put up an absolutely appalling image in respect of the refugee crisis which includes someone urinating and an apparently dead body hanging beneath an "EgyptAir" jet (leaving no doubt that the Middle East and North Africa is where Mr Syrup thinks many of the asylum-seekers are coming from):
Of course our West Midlands Mayor, Andy Street, is a close friend of Fabricant and, at least until recent times, co-owned a property with him. I asked Mr Street whether this Tweet accurately reflected his own take on the immigration issue as WM Mayor and he specifically had his press officer contact me to say, er, "no comment"! WTF?
Hackett at the bus stop lol!
Corrupt liar Cllr Simon "The Sandwell Slasher" Hackett has been commenting adversely on Sandwell bus services. And the other day he demanded an investigation by Transport WM when the number 40 Diamond Bus drove straight past his bus stop. Perhaps Diamond knew of Hackett's infamous history when he was caught urinating in a bus shelter and decided they didn't want The Slasher on their nice bus.
Unsurprisingly his whinge was reposted on X (formerly known as retweeting on Twitter ) by his little rimmer at the Wolvo C*cksuckers, "priapic" pisshead propagandist, Adam Smith, on his "Star Reporter" account. Big news!
Incidentally, I still cannot bring you the final instalment on the thousands Hackett had shafted the taxpayer for with his lies since the Council has not yet settled the costs of the second civil case it lost trying to cover-up his wrongdoing. But the truth will out soon ...
Runaway Nicola and the Baggies
It is customary for all local politicians to pay homage to my own favoured team, and the Tories have been in overdrive trying to "save" The Baggies. Let us hope they put as much effort into saving Lion Farm Fields although most of you will know that local MP, Nicola Richards, is running away from West Brom East in search of a safer seat - what is popularly known locally as "doing a Watson" (although his new perch is ermine-lined).
Bizarrely, Nicola has taken to the media to praise the role of WBA's managing director, Mark Miles, in takeover talks. That would presumably be the same WBA director Mark Miles who was appointed as a Trustee of The Albion Foundation on 12th March, 2018 when (a) his employer WBA were plundering "their" charity for large sums, and (b) the Trustees signed off incorrect later accounts which then had to be rectified. Hardly a glowing endorsement of his skills or his ability to detect conflicts of interest? Nicola should know about all this. Whilst she wasn't involved in the matters this blog has exposed she has, herself, been a Trustee since July, 2020. I have as little confidence in Mr Miles as Nicola has in winning WBE again.
BSF - B for Bloody; S for Stupid; F for Fool
There is nothing bent Sandwell Labour likes more than going back and sniffing its old turds. For those thinking of voting Labour remember their absolutely disastrous runaway expenditure on Private Finance Initiatives when it paid huge sums for infrastructure and then eye-watering sums for maintenance for, typically, 30 years. These contracts included bizarre expenses such as payments of over £100 to change a light bulb. Needless to say, banks, financiers and long-term contract winners usually coined-it at the expense of us taxpayers.
One such scheme was the ruinously expensive "Building Schools for the Future or BSF" scheme. Naturally bent Sandwell Labour loved the idea of getting the instant kudos for opening new school buildings whilst the taxpayer was shafted for three decades. This is how Private Eye Magazine recently described the BSF:
"This imposed huge extra costs and often produced less than ideal infrastructure. An industry of consultants and bankers grew-up around it adding yet more layers of public-private partnership ...., and even more cost. Few argued with [then] education secretary Michael Gove when he scrapped BSF ..."
One of the "few" who did argue was bent Labour Sandwell. Long ago this blog described how a handful of councils started legal action to reverse Gove's decision. Corrupt and incompetent Sandwell joined the legal action after the deadline had passed but the Judge allowed them to continue with the others whose legal departments had managed to start the proceedings on time. Soon there were photos of Jan Britton and sundry Labour Councillors celebrating a great "victory" over Gove outside the Oldbury Kremlin. But as with most of the utterances of these sleaze merchants they were talking b*llocks. The Court had not overruled the abolition of the scheme as some in Sandwell Labour claimed at the time but effectively ordered that the Government reconsider how the abolition of the scheme was to be implemented more carefully. Gove went ahead with the abolition, with a watered-down scheme in its place.
The BSF was dead but bent Sandwell Labour used it anyway in the corrupt deal to destroy The Public. They claimed that they could simply gift a £6 million contract to their pals at Interserve without having to put it out to tender, under the BSF "framework". Whilst I pointed this corruption out at the time no-one had the b*lls or, more importantly, the money to challenge any of this in Court.
Given how PFI deals have been shown-up as a complete disaster (eg. the new Sandwell Hospital) only a moron would mourn their passing. Many councils elsewhere are trying to buy themselves out of the contracts to try to save money.
But there's always one isn't there? Step forward none-other than Dim Kez who has taken to social media to complain that the mouldy concrete Wood Green Academy 'would have been rebuilt under "Labour's Building Schools for the Future programme"'. What a BSF ...
Help Please?
Getting reports that anti-business Sandwell Labour are causing parking problems for firms in Oldbury? Any more on this anyone?
