Labour: The Rajbir Singh mystery.

Brummies reading this will be asking, "who the f*** is Rajbir Singh?" He is the arrogant prick who is standing for a Reform seat on Birmingham City Council - possibly in Erdington. He also wants to be the Reform Group Leader on the Sh*tty Council if the Faragistes win some seats, and he even harbours the delusion that if Reform takes the Council, he will be Leader of the whole goddam thing!

But anyone thinking of voting for this joker needs to look at his record as, er, former Leader of bent Labour Sandwell Council, and start asking him the truth about his crashing fall from grace. 

Having left Liebour for Reform the mystery is why a Party as vindictive as Labour is not shafting him? Alas, all of The Skidder's efforts have failed to reveal the answer, but this post will raise at least some of the questions other candidates, and the voters, need to be asking him. And the fact is that the Labour Party DOES know the answers. Why is it not using the info or is Labour waiting until his candidature is confirmed?

Brummies may or may not know that Sandwell is one of the most corrupt Labour Councils in Britain - where incompetence and cronyism is even greater than in the "Third City" (formerly the "Second City"). But even seasoned watchers of the Labour doings within the Black Country's "Heart of Darkness" were shocked when, after years of civil war, Labour appointed tyro Councillor Rajbir Singh as Leader of the Council in May, 2021 (just three years after he first became a Councillor).

The Sikh community is, quite rightly, very politically active in sh*thole Sandwell. They propelled the utterly useless Preet Kaur Gill to Westminster, later to be followed by her arch-enemy, the grovelling "Socialist Landlord", Gurinder Singh Josan. And even though he had virtually no experience on the Council, they propelled Rajbir to the top spot, locally.

Skidder readers were truly shocked at this promotion and it immediately became apparent that Singh was completely out of his depth. This blog quickly dubbed him "The Boy Blunder".

Singh soon blotted his copybook with an inept sacking of the admittedly appalling Chief Executive, David Stevens. Like all top [sic] councillors and employees at bent Labour Sandwell he used secret communication channels to avoid scrutiny and the Freedom of Information Act. Thus he set up a secret deal with the pathetic Local Government Association (LGA) to replace Stevens with surely the richest man in local government, Kim Bromley- Derry. The Skidder forced some of the WhatsApp messages from the LGA via the Information Rights Tribunal (more anon).

In September, 2021 Singh also appointed Imogen Walker as his "Head of the Leader's Office" despite the fact that at the time Walker was claiming to live in Scotland - over two hundred miles from the toilet that is Sandwell. Once again the secret deal was brokered by the LGA. Like all good "socialists" Walker used the tax-efficient method of self-employment to take taxpayers' money for this newly created  - fake - position. Walker is now a Labour MP for a Scottish constituency.

Walker is (or at least was) married to Morgan McSweeney. He was a Peter Mandelson protegee and led Keir Starmer's winning election campaign. He then became Sir Woodenarse's Chief of Staff. But when Starmer's insane decision to appoint Mandelson as our US Ambassador inevitably went horribly wrong, Starmer did the decent thing and sacked him so as to cover his own arse. (You will have seen the story in the last few days that McSweeney claims his phone was stolen - and along with it, any incriminating data thereon.)

In November, 2021, another bombshell exploded in Oldbury when Singh suddenly resigned his leadership AND his Council seat. Just like that! Sandwell Labour propagandists, the BBC, unquestioningly accepted his version of events i.e., that he had resigned for "personal reasons". The Boy Blunder himself claimed that the heavy demands of Council leadership were too much and he had to think of his young family and businesses. Even if that was remotely true - which it isn't - that wouldn't explain why he also gave up his seat. There are very many in Sandwell Labour who do almost nothing all year in return for taxpayers' allowances.

Singh is in a form of marriage with Harnoor Bhullar. In true Sandwell Labour-style she too was found a seat on the bent Council. She remains a Labour Councillor whilst Rajbir is now with Reform. This odd couple status seems to be confirmed by constant reports from members of the Sandwell Sikh community that the Smethwick Gurdwara offers her considerable sympathy and support given Rajbir's "lifestyle" - whatever that actually means.

The Skidder did a vox pop in Smethwick about the real reason for Singh's shaming degringolade, but to no avail. 

The first rumour was that there was a "discrepancy" concerning his businesses (he has a Costcutter in Edgbaston and now also operates a dry cleaners next door). Whilst Singh and Bhullar refused to answer questions about this there is no evidence whatsoever that there was any wrongdoing. An appropriate response from the pair would have scotched the persistent rumours. Bhullar has, since, 2023 had no legal involvement with the main company, Ample Foods. Singh is the sole owner of the business which showed a loss in the latest published accounts. Indeed the value of fixed assets is the only thing apparently keeping it solvent. Mind you, lack of financial acumen has never been a prerequisite of Birmingham Sh*tty Council! And if Singh really left Sandwell Council to concentrate on his business (at least until he joined Reform) that isn't really working is it? Surely hanging on to his Council allowances for next to no work would have helped out?

The second rumour was that there were "concerns" about Rajbir's lifestyle. The rumours - and they are nothing more than that - are lurid. A meeting was supposed to have been held at the Smethwick Gurdwara involving (now) MP, the slippery Gurinder Singh Josan. Singh then resigned. Josan and Singh declined to comment on this rumour but it is important to note that the Gurdwara specifically states that no such meeting occurred at its premises. Accordingly there is no evidence whatsoever of any truth in this.

The third rumour - which may or may not be connected to the "lifestyle" issues - was that Singh was summoned to a meeting in London at a high level within the Labour Party. He resigned before he was pushed out. This is coming from a number of sources. As above, Singh declined to comment on the cause of his resignation.

The vast majority of the information received on this has come from Sikh folk. The rumours have been persistent and, as above, Singh might have done well to nip them in the bud rather than burying his head in the sand. Some issues have been placed openly on social media (not by this blog, of course).

The one thing that is certain is (a) that many Labour Sandwell Councillors know the real reason he resigned; (b) Gurinder Josan knows (and he is also a member of Labour's National Executive Committee as well as being a major Starmer rimmer); and (c) people in the top echelons of Labour know.

In any event, Singh was a hopeless "leader" of bent Sandwell and was so bad he had to have a Scottish babysitter. Does that fill you with confidence Brum voters? 

And don't forget to ask him about all this if and when he bothers to campaign.

Oh, forgot to mention that Josan has form for shafting a fellow LABOUR councillor. Why the reticence now Gurinder? Is Gill right?

Sandwell: Will the scum vote?

After a couple of council elections in the Socialist Dictatorship of sh*thole Sandwell, this blog put up a "Scum Counter". This showed that so many people in Sadders hate themselves, their kids and their surroundings so much, they are too idle to vote. Of course, The Skidder also took into account that many in the Borough are simply too thick to know how to vote.

There are always those who will vote for the Labour dictatorship despite Labour being in control of the Borough for 52 years - yes, over half a century of dismal failure. Many folk have done well out of the Labour corruption and cronyism that pervades almost every aspect of local life. "Charities" are prime examples - in return for constantly rimming Labour Councillors (e.g. Multistory) the Council arranges for us taxpayers to fund them.

This blog has supported the fact that political Sikhism is highly organised in Sadders. The community slavishly follows the will of local "leaders" (which is not so laudable), and is overwhelmingly pro-Labour. And this means that the community has representatives sitting atop the stinking dunghill and has substantial influence over pro-Labour Sandwell Police. [More on this soon.] Local Sikhs are likely to ignore their sh*thole surroundings, unemployment, an increasingly failing health service, and many other failures, to vote for more of the same.

Hitherto the local Muslim folk have also been actively pro-Dictatorship, but there has been disillusionment with Starmer and Co's reaction to events in Gaza and elsewhere. This more nuanced view - and the possibility that there may be some candidates raising these issues prior to the May 7th - means that Labour cannot simply "weigh" the Muslim vote this time around.

Obviously the sickoes in Abbey Ward will turn out for Labour, but in the rest of the Borough Labour faces significant challenges.

May 7th is possibly the most important local election date in Sandwell's history. This is because ALL 72 seats are up for grabs and the people have the power to wipe out the corrupt Dictatorship once and for all.

One might well ask why Sandwell needs 72 Councillors particularly when many are as thick as mince. The excellent Sandwell Corruption site recently posted, for example, that Labour crony Terry Fitzgerald won a Council seat but has not done a single piece of casework in three years!!!! Needless to say he doesn't forget to accept the allowances.

Sandwell also has the Combined Authority as an extra, and very expensive extra tier of local government, to pay for.  And, lest we forget, Sandwell Labour has been increasing Council Tax yearly by the maximum amount to pay for its incompetence - as well as hiking rents, parking charges and other fees. Not to mention the bins ...

In previous years, Sandwell had a local election system whereby elections were held for 24 of the 72 seats (one-third) in years 1, 2 and 3. There was a "fallow year" in year 4 with no elections, and then the sequence started again.

Some moronic pieces of sh*t have taken to social media each election year - and even contacted The Skidder - to say that they would not be voting under the old system since, even if Labour lost all 24 seats at any one time, it would still retain control of the Council. Whilst this was numerically correct it was usually just a lazy cop-out. It also ignores the fact even a small but efficient opposition has some power to hold greedy Labour to account, and to highlight incompetence, corruption and cronyism. (Unfortunately, the Conservative opposition singularly failed in that - and every other - regard.)

In theory - Sandwell could vote Labour out in every single seat. That is unlikely, but if the scum finally rises to the top, Labour will receive a significant kicking. And this time, Labour is bricking itself.

To vote you firstly need to register with Sandwell Council. There are ID requirements these days but here is a link to use if you have not already registered:

https://www.sandwell.gov.uk/elections-voting/register-vote

If you want to apply for a postal vote - an easy way of voting - this needs to be done by Tuesday 21st April. Again, here is the appropriate link:

https://www.sandwell.gov.uk/elections-voting/vote/3

The email for queries about voting is:

Will the spineless Sandwell scum finally grow a pair? Will Sandwell throw off the Labour chains and shackles? We shall see!

Skidder Facebook Group

Have you joined the Group? It is open to all non-Labour cronies in Sandwell (since Labour already has control of all mainstream media outlets - The BBC, Express and Star, and more).

Local community activist, Darryl Magher, is a regular contributor and 'Sandwell Corruption' also puts up some great posts to the Group.

The Skidder has pointed out that Sandwell Police regularly posts pro-Labour propaganda and/or allows Sandwell Labour to put up pictures of officers with them. We now know this goes right to the top, locally, with the local Chief Superintendent joining-in. If you see social media or other pro-Labour police propaganda please forward screenshots to Skidder HQ. Until the election, the "Copsucker" hashtag highlighting this appalling political bias will be replaced with #copsuckerelection26.

And finally,

It is hard to think of anyone more vile in Sandwell than Bearwood Abbey Ward's, Cllr Bob Piper, but there is one person who would - by a whisker - beat him to the "Nastiest Sh*t in Sandwell award", Steve Eling. Alas, the tyrannical liar and disgraced Eling is not eligible for the fabled 'Golden Turd' as he doesn't live in Sandwell, but in a charming North Derbyshire village (although he did also have a pied-a-terre near Warley Woods). Unsurprisingly both of these c**** were regularly voted in by the poisonous folk in Abbey Ward.

Greed machine, Piper, is not standing again in May. Surely Labour are not lining up a return for someone even worse????
