The Wolvo C*suckers (aka The Express and Star) have waged a pathetic war against me for over a decade, but their pettiness knows no bounds and they have even used a dead employee to attack me!
Back in 2023 I started a rolling blog about the naughty boys and girls who have received taxpayers' largesse at bent Labour Sandwell Council. This included reference to former employee and Labour stooge, Naseem Khan of Cordery Street, West Bromwich.
I believe Labour cronies have managed to get Khan a new job at a housing association and it cannot be coincidental, surely, that a few months ago various individuals purporting to be Khan's legal advisers started to threaten me with legal action if I did not remove the references to Khan from the 2023 blog. I doubled down and amended the post on 19th April, 2025 telling the unvarnished truth about this joker. Giving full credit to The Star I screenshotted part of their story about Khan's conviction for fraudulently claiming a business grant. I don't generally use Star material as it is usually sh*te. The information was in the public domain anyway, but I was perhaps a little lazy in simply copying 3 short paragraphs from their story (and, as above, giving them full credit for it).
Clearly the Star are hanging on my every word since "Peter Madeley" made a copyright claim to Google for three short attributed paragraphs in a lengthy blogpost. Madeley purported to represent the rights holder - The Express and Star. This would certainly have been a newsworthy event since Madeley died in March, 2024 almost a year and a month BEFORE my article - as widely reported in, er, The Express and Star.
This rag is the lowest of the low but hiding attacks on The Skidder behind a dead employee is surely the absolute pits? I hope the Editor will have the good grace to apologise to me and to Madeley's family for this appalling episode (but not holding my breath with this shower).
I leave you with a picture of the new suggested branding at The Star (joke!)
