The All-New 2023 Sandwell Scum Counter!

Warning - contains strong language. 16+ recommendation.

Regular readers will be familiar with the 2022 Sandwell Scum Counter (link below) - The Skidder's ward by ward breakdown of the numbers of scum in Sandwell who support and/or condone decades of Labour corruption, cronyism and incompetence at the bent Council (so bad that it is in Government "Special Measures" - at a cost to us taxpayers of, at least, two million pounds):

https://thesandwellskidder.blogspot.com/2022/06/sandwells-scum-in-numbers.html

This post shows the appalling lack of self-respect of local morons who are prepared to condemn themselves, their families and their communities to yet more of the Labour dictatorship despite that Party's shocking 49-year record of fraud and failure. In total only 22.92% of voters actually voted - an absolute disgrace noting the state Sandwell is in, and the diabolical Labour record.

In the 2022 Scum Counter I paraphrased the old Russian question: "if you Sandwell tw*ts are so clever, why are you so poor"? That question is as relevant today as it was 12 months ago.

Voter ID

There is a small "wildcard" in the analysis of this year's figures since some local dummies were - allegedly - prevented from voting due to lack of voter ID. There is not yet a ward by ward analysis of the small percentage of voters who were turned away. It is claimed that 1,135 were turned away, but 795 returned with ID so that just 340 alleged voters were excluded.

Further, Labour had complained bitterly about the new voter ID rules and we have seen in the past that they have been adept at packing polling stations with their "supporters" in close contests, notably at Tipton Green in 2022. Who knows whether those excluded were genuine would-be voters or even living in Sadders? And no doubt there were some weirdos who turned up without ID to "make a - pointless - point!"

The fact remains that the requirement for voter ID was very well advertised. It is a statistical fact that Sandwell people are less intelligent than folk elsewhere and so The Counter works on the assumption that the 340 allegedly excluded are thick scum.

(The small number of spoilt ballot papers are also attributed to scum as there was quite a wide choice of candidates this year so that spoilt papers simply serve to prop-up the bent Labour dictatorship).

Local Tories buck the trend

It was a bad night for the Conservatives nationally but - as the Skidder predicted - the local team bucked the national trend and won two seats in Sadders, Charley and Princes End. In fact those two wards have got rid of Labour altogether with all three seats in each now in Tory hands. And this despite the concern in some quarters that the Conservative campaign was very slow off the mark allowing Labour to win more of the all important postal votes.

We have seen that when Labour Councillors lose their seats the Party immediately foists them into a new ward - no matter how useless they are or their lack of local connections/knowledge (e.g., see Puffing Jenny Chidley). Pathetic lickspittle and Tom "Twatson" Watson-rimmer Liam Preece was a completely useless Labour Councillor for Charlemont and Grove Vale, but folk there eventually saw through "Mr Cellophane" and finally booted him out. He was soon transferred to West Bromwich Central where the thick morons there ignored his track record and elected him back on to the Council. This joke was so puffed-up by this he saw fit to go back to Charley to campaign for the equally-useless Elaine Giles. But it backfired and this part of the Giles Greed Machine was also shown the door. Charley folk have got wise to bent Labour.

Ward by Ward:

Abbey - the home of the vilest and most arrogant people in Sandwell, who - laughably - class themselves as the Brahmin Left, voted for a woman who was a Councillor is, er, Nottinghamshire a couple of years ago (at Gedling Borough Council) - Jennifer Hemingway. But the snobbish Berghaus Bolshies of "Harborne North" hardly turned-out in force despite their "socialust" leanings - just 28.5% could be arsed to vote. (In incestuous Labour Sandwell, Hemingway's partner was also elected in Smethwick - see below - providing the household with two snouts in the taxpayer trough.)

Abbey Scum Count - 7, 683 (an increase from the 7,494 in 2022)

Blackheath - this seat should be a Tory target but they were well beaten. Less that 20% of the idle residents could be arsed to vote.

Blackheath Scum Count - 8,240 (almost equal to the 2022 figure of 8, 238)

Bristnall - one of the sh*ttiest wards of Sandwell where the locals will vote for a donkey if it wears a red rosette. This is a ward sh*t upon by Labour but clearly people enjoy this and provided a romping win for the dictatorship even when they had a good local candidate in Clive Heywood. Far-right perennial loser, Pete Durnell, brought up the rear.

Bristnall Scum Count - 8,006 (up from 7,924 in 2022)

Charlemont and Grove Vale - as above the people of Charley have had enough of Labour shafting them and have now booted them out completely. In the last week or so before polling day Labour threw the kitchen sink at this seat in aid of the Giles Greed Machine, but to no avail. Tory win for Natalie Weston.

I wrote how sick Labour stick together like sh*t to a blanket. Despite her dismal Council performance Elizabeth Giles is the new Deputy Turd of Sandwell. Incredibly she has given her daughter and Charley reject Elaine Giles the "job" of Deputy Turd's Consort - to keep her in the public eye. If there is a by-election anywhere in Sandwell this deadbeat is a dear cert to be the Labour candidate.

Charlemont and Grove Vale Scum Count - 7,739 (7,704 in 2022)

Cradley Heath & Old Hill - together with Tipton Green now the joint-shittiest ward which will now forever be known as "The Wanker Ward" following its election of the notorious masturbator John Tipper (the scruffy, childish onanist shown here mocking the death of Margaret Thatcher). Another ward where less that 20% of the bone-idle in this failed ward could be bothered to vote.

Carmichael has given Tipper a number of jobs so that he can immediately start raking-in extra allowances.

Cradley & Old Hill Scum Count - 9,626 (up, astonishingly, from the 9,540 in 2022)

Friar Park - only 17.25% of the dimwits in this ghastly ward could be bothered to vote. Incredible.

Friar Park Scum Count - 8,135 (up from 8,047 in 2022)

Great Barr with Yew Tree - one of the vilest Wards in the Borough where voters elected a useless criminal as a Councillor last time out. A Labour win for the wife of an existing Councillor in incestuous Sadders.

Great Barr with Yew Tree Scum Count - 8,529 (up from 8,455 in 2022)

Great Bridge - the good work of youthful Tory whirlwind, Will Gill, is paying-off in GB but the Tories were defeated in a close contest.

Great Bridge Scum Count - 8,770 (DOWN - just - from 8,791 in 2022)

Greets Green and Lyng - despite Jackie "Jack of No Trades" being one of the thickest Labour Councillors (in a crowded field) the morons of this ward have re-elected her. Absolutely incredible!

Greets Green and Lyng Scum Count - 8,944 (a big increase from 8,526 in 2022)

Hateley Heath - the people who put the "hate" in Sandwell have done it again. Another useless Labour Council re-elected. Once again a ward where less than 20% of local scum could be arsed to vote.

Hateley Heath Scum Count - 9,648 (up from 9,349)

Langley - hurrah for the Carmichael family as Leader, Kerrie "Dim Kez" Carmichael's mother now has her nose in the taxpayer trough. Dim Kez's husband also works for SMBC (and does some "foreigners" - or "private work" as the Lying Leader calls it - on the side to increase the dosh rolling in Chez Carmichael). New Cradley/Old Hill Councillor, notorious masturbator John Tipper (see above) is a close friend of the family and is pulling-in the extra allowances too.

Carmichael has enthusiastically supported the destruction of Lion Farm Fields which are in the ward now represented by her mum, and so she is tightening the Labour grip on forcing the bent deal through.

Langley Scum Count - 8,736 (UP - despite Lion Farm - from 8,603 in 2022)

Newton - a non-entity of a ward still in love with Labour corruption.

Newton Scum Count - 7,529 (DOWN from 7,759 in 2002)

Old Warley - a big Tory target but a failure for them after a strong performance. Also Rich Jones (the Labour reject) must be regretting getting into bed with the Lib Debs where the local campaigning is absolutely dire (against a background where the Lib Dems did very well nationally on polling day). Even with Brandhall being a hot topic only 29.45% of locals could be arsed to vote - good by feeble, bent Sandwell standards, but still no cigar.

Old Warley Scum Count - 7,618 (DOWN from 7,835 in 2022)

Oldbury - another ward in love with Labour corruption.

Oldbury Scum Count - 9,084 (very high but actually down from 9,204 in 2022)

Princes End - as above a second triumph for the Conservatives who have diligent Councillors already elected in the ward. Their hard work has paid off as the Tories now hold all three seats.

Princes End Scum Count - 8,406 (DOWN from 8,605 in 2022)

Rowley - this should have been a Tory target but some very odd rumours persist about the Conservative campaign here - or rather the lack of it. Also the Lib Dems fielded a well-known social media troll!

There is a bizarre allegation that a leading local Tory did "a deal" with Labour not to fight the seat vigorously but surely other local Conservatives would have noticed this? The plot thickens.

A Labour win for the son of Labour convicted fraudster Naseem Khan (a close associate of Cllrs Simon Hackett and Luke Giles, for two). Great things are expected of this child prodigy since Three Unwise Men - all Labour MPs - visited the fraudsters home to pay homage to the boy wonder! Here's the nasty South London spiv John Spellar posing with the recently convicted fraudster. WTF is going on?

Rowley Scum Count - 8,826 (up from 8,755 in 2022).

And now for three of the biggest sh*tholes yet three of the most Labour corruption-loving wards in Sadders ...

Smethwick

The Nottinghamshire connection again as the partner of Hemingway (see Abbey ward above) gets the taxpayer lolly rolling in again.

Smethwick Scum Count - 9,349 (up from 9,134 in 2022).

Soho and Victoria

Bent Labour simply weigh the votes of local morons here. Just look at the astonishing total!!!

Soho and Victoria Scum Count - 10,857 ( a big INCREASE from a high £9,421 in 2022)

St Paul's

Another astonishing number of residents condone 49 years of Labour failure.

St Paul's Scum Count - 9,943 (marginally down from 9,947 in 2022).

Tipton Green

Another astonishing and brave performance from Independent candidate, Richard Jeffcoat. Without the resources of the big parties Richard polled an astonishing 1,225 votes. Alas, this was still not enough to beat Labour's poisonous Syeda Khatun

What is particularly galling here is that local residents KNOW that Khatun is a corrupt liar (see Skidders passim and legal notice below) yet still wanted more of the same.

At least I know Richard will continue to fight for Tipton and Tipton folk - when his feet have recovered (!) - which is far more than most of them deserve.

Tipton Green Scum Count - 9,252 (up - despite Khatun - from 9,147 in 2022).

Tividale

Despite good work by Tory Cllr Amrita Dunn this was another target missed by the Conservatives. What the f have bent Labour ever done for Tivi?

Tividale Scum Count - 8,239 (up from 8,148 in 2022).

Sh*thole Wednesbury has been "blessed" with truly appalling Labour Councillors who have been a disaster for the area but morons living in the two wards can't get enough Labour corruption!

Wednesbury North

The boil of pus that was Costigan has been lanced, but locals want more of the same. Incredible.

Wednesbury North Scum Count - 8,418 (up from 8,206 in 2022).

Wednesbury South

How a ward represented by such useless Labour specimens as Ian "Chambers of Horrors" Chambers and "Puffing" Jenny Chidley can vote for a third Labour Cllr is beyond me unless everyone is on the same stuff as Chidley.

Wednesbury South Scum Count - 9,219 (down from 9,285 last May and 9,445 in the by election later in 2022).

West Bromwich Central

The purveyor of anti semitic and sweary tweets, Labour Cllr Laura Rollins, has moved out of Sadders. Labour Councillors can't get out of the poverty ghetto quick enough but good old WBC folk don't get the message and want more of the same. Good luck guys and gals. West Brom will still be ghastly in 12 month's time!

West Bromwich Scum Count - 9,569 (up from 9,418 in 2022).

And finally ...

Once again we are indebted to Sandwell Corruption for this image:

Lewis "slapped on wrist"; Stevens pay-off, Funeral details and more!

More shocking statistics to open this post showing just how sh*t Sandwell is after 49 years of Labour's total control. The new Sandwell Skidder Scum Counter is coming very shortly but, once again, the numbers will show that the adult voting population don't give a flying f*ck about the Borough's kids and continue to condone nearly half a century of local Labour corruption and failure. New statistics have now been published by The End Child Poverty Coalition (which, importantly, include housing costs) and which show that in bent Labour Sadders 44.6% of children are living in poverty. Nearly half - in a "socialust" paradise!

Meanwhile, Labour Councillors have enriched themselves, blown multi-millions on the Commonwealth Games, lost £22m on Providence Place etc. etc. Whilst there has been staggering financial impropriety and incompetence - not least in Children's Services where things were so bad the Government had to remove this department from bent Labour control - local kids have been shafted (unfortunately, sometimes literally).

Turn up at Oldbury Council House at the full Council just before Easter next year and you will see the grotesque Labour Councillors ostentatiously waddling in clutching bags of (sugar-laden) Easter Eggs for "them poor little kiddies" whilst weeping their crocodile tears. Still if local parents don't care about their own offspring why should councillors?

Next year Labour will have visited disaster on Sandwell for 50 years. Will they manage to get child poverty up to 50% to match their other "achievements"? Watch this space ...

Barry Cotgrave

I mentioned the other day the sad news of Barry's death. He was a great friend of this blog and an all-round good guy. Barry's funeral is at 10.15am on Thursday 15th June at The Methodist Centre Dudley Port, 41 Tividale Street, Tipton DY4 7SB.

No (Re)Morse from Lewis?

Labour’s Cllr Ash Lewis has been made to undergo “appropriate training” following his failure to declare an interest at a meeting of the incredibly-named "Safer Neighbourhoods and Active Communities Scrutiny Board" on 26th January, 2023 - under the appalling Chairing of the loquacious (to put it politely) Cllr Ellen Fenton. Despite being a Trustee at the time of the North Smethwick Development Trust (NSDT - which has received substantial funds from bent Labour over many years), he spoke up to object to any onerous financial reporting obligations being placed on such organisations as the one he represented - rather an odd thing to do when he was on a Committee purporting to scrutinise that such crony organisations were spending taxpayers’ money gifted to them by the comrades, er, appropriately.

Fenton let him get away with this, in between her crazed, partisan, soliloquies, but local Community Activist Darryl Magher was there and alerted The Skidder to the clear breach of ethical standards and the Councillors' Code of Conduct.

Following a formal Standards Complaint Sandwell’s highly controversial Monitoring Officer has found that Lewis should have properly declared his interest in NSDT, which was in receipt of funding “from the Council” - cunning code for “from the taxpayer”. However, as he made "no personal financial gain" from his misconduct he has simply had to undergo training in the hope that he won’t misbehave again. The usual slap on the wrist for errant Labour Councillors once again folks.

Surjit Tour (for it is he) claimed that: “Cllr Lewis upon being advised of his failure to declare an interest accepted his omission and apologised immediate[ly].” Well I don’t know who he has apologised to apart, allegedly, to Tour? And, in fact, this b*llockless Labour coward did not have the wotsits to respond to this email - hence why he ended up facing a formal Standards Complaint in the first place:

"THIS IS NOT A PRIVATE AND CONFIDENTIAL COMMUNICATION - PRESS ENQUIRY

At the recent meeting of the above Committee (26/01/23) you pointed out that you are a Director of one of the organisations receiving taxpayers' funds as a "warm place". I assume you mean North Smethwick Development Trust?

You made your "declaration" of interest during the course of discussion on the Agenda item and not under "declarations of interests" earlier in the Agenda. Why did you omit to do this? Why did you seek to participate in the discussion of the Agenda item?

The activist and highly partisan Chair of the Meeting then allowed you to continue speaking on the issue where you had expressed an interest. Indeed you submitted your view that monitoring of the footfall at organisations receiving taxpayers' funds "should not be too onerous" and possibly should not apply at all this year. This appears to be a direct expression of a conflict of interest between your role on the Committee as a scrutineer of the spending of public money and the interests of an organisation you claim to represent. Can you provide any explanation of your conduct at the meeting for the benefit of Skidder readers please?"

They never learn do they, these planks? If you had the b*lls to come clean Lewis, and to apologise, you would have saved the taxpayer the costs of a standards investigation. Perhaps you will apologise to Skidder readers now?

ADDENDUM 9th June, 2023 - Tour has confirmed that Lewis only apologised to him for breaking the Code of Conduct. Tour says: "I [! -Ed] do not consider it necessary to require Cllr Lewis to apologise publicly." That does not, of course, prevent the spineless Lewis from saying sorry, but the eunuch has not seen fit to respond to my queries concerning an apology. Don't hold your breath folks!

Spellar - No Shame!

I have been pointing out for some time that ghastly South London spiv, John Spellar (who purports to be the MP for Warley), has been bigging-up the "gambling industry" in the House of Commons whilst enjoying its lavish hospitality at a series of A-grade sporting events. Many of you will have seen the very short video of this greaser at the annual Mayor-making ceremony where he seems to think this is funny. Watch it here and weep, if you haven't seen it!

Furious Piper!

On the subject of videos, regular readers will recall the recent video (courtesy of Sandwell Corruption) of Piper's hilarious incompetence at a recent Cabinet meeting. This vituperative scrote has been lashing out on social media (as per ...) at people who have mocked his dreadful performance and the footage has clearly got under his nanometre-thin skin. Do watch this farce if you haven't seen it - if only to annoy the joke "Deputy Leader" lol!

"Good News" - no mega-compensation for sacked Stevens. And Kafka lives!

Regular readers will know that on 8th July, 2021 I broke the rumour that Sandwell’s scumbag CEO, David Stevens, had been sacked on 5th July by (then) Labour “Leader” Rajbir “The Boy Blunder” Singh (who did a moonlight flit himself not long afterwards amidst lurid allegations). (Blog entitled: “Turd Excreted in Sandwell???”)

Following a protracted and convoluted Freedom of Information (FOI) Request the position is not a lot clearer although bent Sandwell has been forced to provide details of Steven’s pay-off.

Let me say straight away that normally the public is not entitled to know the pay-offs to council employees for “data protection” reasons. But in the case of senior employees - like the pathetic Stevens - councils have to provide the details by law in the annual accounts. Of course, Sandwell Labour has messed things up so badly that the annual accounts have been grossly delayed (an ongoing issue of great concern).

In the FOI process Sandwell initially lied (again) claiming that “the Council does not hold this information relating to the removal of the Chief Executive from post”. Whilst there may be arguments against disclosure it is inconceivable that a large organisation like Sandwell would not have any documents regarding the sacking of its (hapless) Chief Exec. But then Singh had f*cked everything up royal, and yet another Labour cover-up was under way.

When the FOIA was reviewed the bent Council changed from the lie that they held no documents to: “we neither confirm nor deny that we hold information falling within the description specified”. Astonishingly, the Information Commissioner (IC) has let them get away with this aspect of the matter by saying - in terms - that if the corrupt paid service admitted they had documents relating to the sacking then the public at large might (rightly!) construe this as “evidence” that documents relating to the sacking exist! Never mind that they do, and that they MIGHT be disclosable, the IC has - yet again - shown that the Freedom of Information regime is an absolute joke and wholly unfit for purpose.

We know that Stevens was physically turfed out of Oldbury Council House of 5th July, 2021 but his employment status remains uncertain for the next three weeks or so since his contract was not officially terminated until 31st July, 2021.

The good news is that the IC did force bent Labour Sandwell to cough-up the severance payment details to Stevens. Mysteriously, Sandwell contacts claimed that he had lawyers involved and received a substantial pay-off but that is wrong (fortunately for taxpayers) and he only received “contractual” compensation. There is a rather strange discrepancy between gross and net figures (although Stevens would have been a higher rate taxpayer) since these are the figures finally provided:

“Contractual payments totalling £45,652.76 (net) were paid made up of:

1 months’ Salary (gross £12,631.67) (net £6767.31)

12 weeks’ Pay in Lieu of notice (gross £37,895.00)

Annual/Accrued Leave 60 days (gross £34 980.00) (combined net £38,885.45)

(Total gross sum £85,506.67)”

Of course “Red” Yvonne Davies, another ill-starred former Labour “Leader”, rigged the appointment of this POS but at least his reign was relatively short, and it is better that Labour got rid of him for just £85k rather than, say, paying that sum to alleviate child poverty etc.

"Turd" is new Mayor of Sandwell!

Anyone who attended the packed meeting a few years ago at The Croswells Inn - when Phil Shakespeare and others ran a brilliant campaign to prevent the destruction of a wildlife corridor behind Asda, Oldbury - will know what a POS Cllr Bill Gavan is. In hilarious scenes, the foul-mouthed scumbag managed - within seconds of opening his gob - to offend the entire audience and almost caused a riot. He had to stand in silence for the rest of the meeting like a spare prick at a wedding whilst a very angry crowd glared at him.

Tuesday is the most sickening day in the municipal life of Sandwell (and that's saying something) when the "great and the good" of the fourth poorest area in the country pay homage to one of the most bent Labour Council's in Britain. Those who believe themselves to be Sadwell's elite (lol!) gather to celebrate 49 years of Labour corruption and the disastrous failings of the Borough. These greasers - who seemingly perceive personal advantage in keeping the disreputable dictatorship in power - will ignore that the Council is so bad it is still in Government "Special Measures" at a cost of locals of at least £2m.

Not so long ago the Primark princes and princesses would publicly fellate the Labour leadership before adjourning to West Brom Town Hall for a slap-up meal at our expense. Happily this grotesque two-fingered salute to Sandwell's poor and hungry has been scaled-down since local community activist Darryl Magher (and others) started organising food bank collections as they waddled into Oldbury Council House.

It is customary to stand when the Mayor enters the Council chamber but some of us have boycotted this display of obsequiousness in protest at some of the scum who have donned the mayoral chain in recent times. Several ceremonial civic "leaders" of late have taken the mayoral robes and defecated upon them.

Take Linda Horton. Her daughter - Lying Lucy Cashmore - f*cked Sandwell people over for four-year's- worth of allowances when she unlawfully stood as a candidate whilst living just down the road from me in South Brimingham. As ever, the Bent Blues at West Midlands Police (WMP) actually facilitated the cover-up. The cops set up a "pre-arranged" meeting to visit Horton's house in Smethwick and "lo", Cashers just happened to be there at the appointed time. In a rare glimpse of wit from Cllr Bob Piper (Abbey Ward - Corbyn Party) he joked for sometime about bent WMP inspecting Linda Horton's "phantom bedroom".

A year later it was the turn of the liar Cllr Syeda Khatun's constant companion, Derek Rowley, to soil the mayoral mantle. This blog exclusively disclosed that Rowley had keys to a Council yard where he stored business equipment, and that his pal was trying to sell some of the publicly-owned storage units from there via Facebook (Skidders passim and see legal notice below)! Once again this was all reported to the local bent cops who, of course, took no action against their corrupt pals.

It should be noted that a senior Sandwell Police officer attends the annual mayor-making ceremony and so, in the two cases above, WMP should have been interviewing Labour people under caution down at Oldbury lock-up rather than grovelling to them in the Council Chamber. This is the extent of the insiduous corruption in Sandwell - and see further below.

Recently Mushtaq Hussain was Mayor. He was not bent (save in the sense of supporting Labour's corruption for many years) but he proved to be wholly unfit for the position. Notably he completely lost control of a full Council meeting, and simply walked out of the Chamber. Even worse, this coward did not see fit to apologise for his appalling misconduct!

Curiously, the last Mayor, Cllr Rich Jones, was quite good and generally acquitted himself well. But malicious Leader [sic] "Dim Kez" and her corrupt cronies did not want a member of the Jones family left on the Council so that he was deselected by bent Labour for the last election! Success = Failure in Sadders!

All of the above pales into insignificance compared with the horrors Sadders faces with the new incumbent. Now the ceremonial trappings will actually be wrapped around - to use the words of ex-Cllr and super-troll Dave Hosell once called me - "a Turd on Stumps".

The Official Insignia of Mayor Gavan 2023

Gavan the Rimmer

How someone as vile as Gavan could have been selected as a Labour candidate - even in bent Labour Sandwell - should be a mystery. It isn't of course, because Billy-boy was an assiduous rimmer of "The King of West Bromwich, Tom "Twatson" Watson. When the Rutting Walrus was WBE's lazy and ineffectual MP Gavan was his local chauffeur and manservant, ready day and night to jump to his Master's commands. Like most mafias, bent Sandwell Labour look after their own and so this plank was duly rewarded with the Langley ward berth. Labour knew full well that local dross in that hideous ward would duly elect this particular turd. [Coming soon - the all-new 2023 Sandwell Scum Index!]

Billy thought so much of his ward he couldn't even spell it correctly on his Twitter account:

But hang on - is Gavan Bent?

I use the term "bent" here purely in the sense of meaning "corrupt". When Langley residents thought that electing a turd to represent them in 2014 was somehow a good idea, Bawdy Billy was immediately given three positions whereby he received "special responsibility payments" on top of his normal allowances. In other words, a totally inexperienced new Councillor "hit the jackpot" on day one. At the time Gavan described himself as being unemployed.

But this blog exclusively revealed (full story * below) that in April, 2015 someone called "William Gavan" made a £5,000 donation to West Brom East Labour Party. In May, 2015 (just a month later), Bill Gavan was made Chair of the important Asset Management and Land Disposal Committee with an annual additional payment of £5,256. Was this all part of yet another bent Sandwell Labour "deal"?

As a journalist without the resources of the mainstream press I only have limited investigatory powers. I have asked the unemployed Gavan more than once whether he is one and the same person as the "William Gavan" who made the "donation". He has refused to say.

Once again I asked the Bent Blues to investigate on the basis that there was a prima facie case of fraud here if the Party donor and the recipient of taxpayers' funds were one and the same person. But, as above, the corruption runs deep in the benighted Borough and bent cops would not investigate. Also, as above, if a top local cop turns up on Tuesday s/he will be able to revel in another job well done, and another of WMP's friends protected and promoted.

Gavan the would-be Tory

This blog also nicknamed Gavan "Hokey Cokey" after his tantrums when he flounced out of meetings saying he was going to leave bent Labour. Things took a dramatic turn for his voters in "Langle, sandwell" when he joined the Tory Party. He officially changed his status with the Council to show that he was now a Conservative Councillor:

Billy says he is a gay rights campaigner and praised the Tories as the Party of equality:

There was only one problem with all this. Blue-language Billy had joined the Tories online, but when the Party found out that this toxic ***t had tried to join they immediately booted him out!

Gavan then told "Langle" morons that he was pleased to "rejoin" Labour. What an absolute tosser and what absolute morons in "Langle" to re-elect him!

The Tories have no respect for this poisonous prat and know that it is totally inappropriate for such a noxious person to be Mayor. Let's hope that they have the metaphorical cojones to remain seated whenever this jerk enters the Chamber. (In any event, there is none so bitter as an ex-would-be-Tory scorned, and they will soon be on the receiving end of this ****t's attempts to exert his non-existent "authority" at Council meetings.)

Gavan - Mr Pissy-Pants

I was astonished when I was told that Bill is not a drinker since, on a NUMBER of occasions I have met him, he gives the outward appearance of being pissed. Apparently my perception is totally wrong and he is a SOBER ranting, incoherent, spittle-flecked tw*t.

Like most bullies, Billy is a coward. I have to be careful how I phrase this but Gavan seldom uses the main entrance at Council meetings so that he doesn't have to face questions from journalists and the public. Instead he usually sneaks in through another entrance. (It will be unprecedented for the Mayor to do this but then Sadders haven't had one so weak and craven before - despite the stiff competition!)

But the classic example was a few years ago when Billy-Boy said he would attend a public meeting against the proposed bent Labour deal to destroy Lion farm Fields - which Gavan supports. When there were two to one in his favour Billy approached me outside the Lion Farm shops and started - literally - screaming in my face. Happily my companions appeared and broke up the ongoing confrontation since I was not going to retreat from this scumbag. Gavan was screeching how he would "see me" at the meeting and tell the people of "Langle" "the truth". But come the day of the meeting the coward pissed his pants and, er, failed to show up!

Bill "Alka Seltzer" Gavan

At Tuesday's mayor-making there will probably be some soi-disant representatives of Sandwell's dismal "business community" [what that? - Ed] metaphorically masturbating the new Mayor. This might be an opportune moment to remind these greasers that this blog also gave potty-mouthed Bill the nickname "Alka Seltzer" since no less that 13 of his companies had to be dissolved (full story - see ** below):

Birmingham Club Corporation Ltd

B & M B Ltd

Pride in the Park Ltd

Birmingham Gay Business Partnership Ltd

Birmingham Bloodstock Ltd

XS Maintenance Ltd

XS Entertainments Ltd

Subway City Ltd

The Office (Birmingham) Ltd

XS Beers Ltd

XS Beers (South) Ltd

Canalside Entertainments Ltd

Victoria Hotels & Leisure Ltd

If you or your company lost money doing business with Gavan please contact The Skidder - full details below.

The person then listed as owning the house where Gavan lives was involved in another FOUR kaput companies.

It would be interesting to know how many creditors got shafted by Billy-Boy, but in corrupt Sandwell this astonishing record of business failures so impresssed the (then) "leader" of bent Labour, the wifebeater Darren Cooper, that he made Gavan a Sandwell Council "business ambassador". You couldn't make it up!!!

Tuesday's Demo

Don't forget that there will be protests against Labour corruption and their destruction of green spaces between 5pm and 6pm outside Oldbury Council House on Tuesday (23rd May). Please stick to the pavements and designated areas and do NOT attempt to disrupt the traffic (although do encourage drivers to "honk" their support for the protest).

Anyone who wants to be sick over themselves can attempt to get one of the very limited spaces available in the public gallery and, of course, remain seated when The Turd makes his absurd entrance.

ADDENDUM 09/06/23 - at the Turd-Making Ceremony on 23rd The Skidder asked Bent? (definition as above) Billy if he did make the £5k donation to Labour. Once again, answer came there none. Watch it here:

Crompton's Dirty Secret Revealed + much more

I used to quite like Cllr Maria Crompton until I found out what she is really like. She is an ineffective Labour Councillor and as thick as mince, but she seemed honest. In the usual incestuous Labour-style her partner, Peter Allen, was also a Labour Councillor until the Party shafted him and others who had questioned Leader [sic] Kerrie "Dim Kez" Carmichael's suppression of the explosive Cox Review into the controversial Wragge Report.

I didn't have Crompton down as a coward but she has consistently refused to say why she authorised the disastrous funding of former Director of Public Health, Lisa McNally's, absurd and vindictive litigation against me. Further the Council blocked all information too - seemingly with the approval of the Government Commissioners brought in to sweep the excrement from the Labour stables. Bent Sandwell refused to answer a Freedom of Information Request and I had to instigate proceedings via the Information Rights Tribunal before they caved in (at yet more cost to the taxpayer).

I have written detailed blogs on the case brought by "The Mouth of the Mersey" and it is known that she conspired with disgraced Chief Executive David Stevens and highly controversial Monitoring Officer and Head of "Legal", Surjit Tour, to use taxpayers' funds rather than her own money to bring her malevolent case.

But why did Crompton - then "Acting Leader" at the time - approve this fraud on the taxpayer - particularly when Stevens and Tour's funding arrangement was illegal? I know that she had communication with the now sacked Stevens but it now transpires that Tour was the (mis)guiding light behind this scandal.

Remember when bent Sandwell set up a £300,000 fund in 2018 to destroy me and this blog? I now know that an Opinion was received from Anya Proops QC (now KC). Strangely no litigation was forthcoming at that stage. But bent Sandwell informed me in the Tribunal case that Tour used the three-year old Proops Opinion to inform the dimwitted Crompton that she had stated that it was perfectly legal to indemnify an employee in respect of matters arising from her use of a personal Twitter account. With respect to Leading Counsel this is b*llocks, and it would be helpful if Proops would publicise the case law on which she based her Opinion. It is also interesting that Proops seems to have the gift of being able to see into the future since she was seemingly not instructed in matters relating to employees acting outside the course of their employment! Tour himself is refusing to disclose Proop's Opinion.

For those of a legal bent there is a fuller description of this matter via our associated blog:

https://rottencouncils.blogspot.com/2023/04/anya-proops-kc-extends-scope-of-local.html

Of course, Crompton was too thick to question Tour why McNally could not fund her own litigation in respect of personal matters, and also ignored that Stevens and Tour both purported to give "evidence" on behalf of McNally - a very clear indication of their conspiracy with the Claimant. This led to the taxpayer losing £100,000. No wonder Crompton was ashamed and tried to hide her own role in this scandal!

West Bromwich BID

Hurrah! The BID has made a (tiny) surplus in its latest (2022) accounts. But ...

For those new to this Blog, "BID" stands for "Business Improvement District". Back in the day, many high streets and the like had traders associations wo/manned entirely by volunteers who did their best to promote their respective areas. But it was decided that voluntary effort was insufficient and local areas could vote for "BIDS". If a majority of traders in an area voted for the BID, EVERY business was obliged to fork out extra tax - known as a "levy" - to pay for "professionals" to come in and promote businesses.

Around the country this has become a jobs for the boys and girls racket. BIDS do very little to promote local businesses bar hold a few supposedly "free" events each year and put up a few signs. Worse, they have become taxpayer-funded arms of the local police. Whereas they formerly had "ambassadors" on the ground supposedly promoting local shops now they have folk wandering the streets in paramilitary-style uniforms. These muppets are paid by the extra "levy" to be police informants, and often even "patrol" with the real cops.

In Sandwell Labour jumped at the chance of taxing businesses more and set up the local BID as a front organisation. Curiously all the voting records approving the BID went "missing" (although it is only fair to say that local traders in West Brom are making so much money - despite national bricks and mortar retail armageddon elsewhere - that they have continued to support the BID).

The original BID was run from a stall in West Brom's derelict indoor market but as soon as the money started rolling in they moved to posh offices in St Michael's Court, Victoria Street paying £12,223 per year in "establishment costs" (rent, rates, insurance, heating etc.)

The latest (2022) accounts state an average of two employees although the current website boasts five. The two "ambassadors" constantly use social media to show themselves in paramilitary garb with WM Police officers and PCSO's. To the general public this hardly inspires confidence in WB being a safe area to shop but reinforces the reality that it is a high crime sh*thole.

Remember that wealthy West Brom traders are already paying business rates for street cleaning, policing etc. but the services are so poor they are voluntarily paying an astonishing £35,503 for extra street cleaning to the BID!

The BID rakes in £218,939 extra tax from West Brom retailers but overspends that sum. To make up the shortfall it competes with charities and other non-profit organisations for grant funding. Oh, and of course, bent Labour Sandwell Council also gave it £17,900 of OUR - taxpayers' money - as well! Thus the BID scraped a surplus of £876 last year!

What is sick is that this organisation not only claims to be a key partner of Sandwell Police but its boss also gets a seat of the local Police "Independent Advisory Group" - a toxic Labour Party-controlled organisation. The cops are refusing to say who is in the Group which is supposed to reflect all sections of the Community, but is the catspaw of the likes of Labour's Gurinder Josan and Pam Randhawa. May I urge readers to follow this link to my recent Freedom of Information Request asking for the members to be publicly identified:

https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/identification_of_members_of_san#incoming-2306095

And Hurrah for The Gamblers!

Regular readers will know that gambling addiction in corrupt Sandwell Labour Council's staff is now so widespread that Labour and the Unions have had to create a "Charter" to combat the problem. Perhaps getting them out of their living rooms and back into their offices might help?

Meanwhile the only Labour MP currently left in the bent Borough, John Spellar, has, as I have shown, been taking very expensive hospitality from the bookies and their trade organisation to attend sundry top-class sporting events. At least this greasy scumbag repays the gambling industry with plenty of supportive comments in the House of Commons. Contrary to the severe problems amongst Sandwell staff The Gnome of Bromley told Parliament last year, "millions of people enjoy gambling perfectly safely and that abuse is going DOWN."

This greedy Labour so-and-so was at it again in the House on 27th April when he bigged-up gambling as a "major" British industry.

Celebrate Bearwood - with a sh*t at the back of Aldi

Apart from The Midland pub, Bearwood is a ghastly place. The main street is in Spellar's constituency but is, of course, riddled with gambling establishments (see above). Now bent Labour have wasted more of our money on ridiculous posters "celebrating" 49 years of Labour's disastrous dictatorship in Sandwell. If you am "bostin" for a crap this is THE place!

A Peaceful Demo

It's the mayor-making Council meeting on Tuesday 23rd May and this is a chance for the oppressed of Sandwell to voice their issues with bent Labour in front of the great and good of the benighted Borough, who are invited in force to the taxpayer-funded shindig.

Inside sources say the barriers are coming out again to prevent the public getting too close to those supporting more Labour corruption in the year ahead.

I hope there will be a good turnout from Brandhall and other groups. Come on Lion Farm folk to save your Fields - get yourselves down to Oldbury. Remember that the new law permits peaceful i.e. non-violent demonstrations, which doesn't mean they have to be quiet ones!

Sad News

Two recent deaths. Barry Cotgrave has left us. He was a doughty anti-corruption fighter against the corrupt Labour Council and a great friend of the blog. Thanks Barry for your emails and info and my sincere condolences to family and friends.

Anyone who enjoys The Midland in Bearwood will know Phil "Blind Phil" Walker. One of life's true characters who got through into his eighties mostly on beer and fags. How I shall miss his Scottish brogue and the extended "oooooooooooo helllllllllo Jules" whenever we met. Phil's funeral is at Lodge Hill on 24th May at 13.45 with drinks later at The Midland.

Tides of Skidder History

This is the first in an occasional series looking back at The History of the Skidder since this blog started in 2013. Today we remember the appalling thug and wife-beater, the late Darren "The Turdmeister" Cooper. Incredibly, this vicious, bullying and trolling scumbag was the Labour Leader of the Council.

Given his criminal misconduct it is astonishing that Cooper became Chair of the West Midlands Police & Crime Panel, and I duly attended one of their meetings to hand out this leaflet to many of the attendees:

I sat in on the meeting. There was a scruffy and very mouthy person sitting next to Cooper, constantly (metaphorically) rimming The Turdmeister, and at that time I didn't know who she was. When the Chief Constable started to deliver an important Report she just stood up and went and made herself a coffee making plenty of noise as she did so. I was astonished how anyone could be so rude in a public meeting and "googled" her. It turned out to be none-other than the longstanding friend of the wife-beater Cooper, Jess, aka "Mess", Phillips!

Incidentally, and whilst the bully-boy Cooper was still alive, I asked Black Country Women's Aid (formerly Sandwell Women's Aid) why they sucked up to Turdy and why, in particular, they loved him given his history of domestic abuse? I further asked whether their silence (and that of Phillips who used to work for them) had anything to do with the fact that they received substantial funding from bent Labour Sandwell Council. Not only did they fail to reply they immediately blocked me from all their social media sites and even their email account! Better to shoot the messenger than criticise a wife-beating benefactor!!!

Come on Sandwell Folk - soil yourselves again!

Warning - contains strong language

On Thursday the people of Sandwell will have the opportunity to destroy the corrupt local Labour Party which has f*cked them up the derriere for 49 years. But, based on the Sandwell Scum Counter*, we know that between 7,000 and nearly 10,000 in each of the 24 wards of the Borough either actively support Labour corruption or are complicit in maintaining the disastrous status quo.

Sandwell is the fourth poorest area in the Country after nearly half a century of Labour corruption, cronyism and incompetence. The Labour Council is so bad that the Government has had to step in and place the benighted Borough into "special measures" - at a colossal cost to taxpayers. The Counter shows, however, that thousands of local scum have no self-respect, or desire to improve the lot of their families. They are simply too thick and/or lazy to spend a few minutes to vote.

Labour have jacked-up Council rents and charges, hit residents with maximum Council Tax increases, cost people around two million for the Government Commissioners, destroyed green spaces, squandered multi-millions on probably the most expensive Leisure Centre in Britain, lost £22m on a single West Brom building, and whacked folk with a new green bin tax. All this on top of corruption, cronyism and incompetence. Vote Labour Sh*t - Eat Labour Sh*t!

Concealment of Addresses

The whole point of local "democracy" is that it is, er, local. Thus Councillors are expected to either live in the Borough or work in Sadders. Of course, this blog exposed that a number of Labour Councillors have moved out of the ghastly poverty ghetto as soon as possible rather than have to rub shoulders with local scum. Only in the last few days, a number of Labour campaign images feature the infamous user of antisemitic tropes on social media, Labour's Laura "F*ck the Lamprey" Rollins, another one who wouldn't dream of living in her awful West Brom ward.

It is absolutely shocking that 23 out of 24 Conservative candidates and 20 out of 24 Labour ones have deliberately chosen to conceal their addresses from local voters! Why? Do they live elsewhere or are they ashamed to reside in such a sh*thole?

(For the record - 8 out of 13 Lib Dems have deliberately chosen to conceal their addresses. The Greens have done rather better with only 3 out of 16 candidates hiding themselves from public view. Of the other parties/lndependents, 12 of the 18 candidates have hidden their addresses.)

Incidentally, despite death threats, threats of extreme violence, appalling abuse and arson threats, MY address is on the bottom of every blog post.

Naseem Khan

Regular readers will know that this scumbag was an employee of bent Sandwell Council and a close associate of deeply corrupt liar, Labour Cllr Simon Hackett, and other comrades like Pam Randhawa - the Chair of Sandwell Police's so-called "Independent" Advisory Group. Here's police adviser Randhawa (right) out with her bent pal Khan:

Khan was running at least four businesses whilst managing to hold down his onerous taxpayer-funded day job (lol!) Sandwell Council have recently confirmed that he did not declare any of these businesses to the Council (as he should have done) and clearly his Labour Cllr pals did not encourage him to do so.

Recently he was convicted of fraud. It is said that his pals were angling to get him a Council seat before his conviction but, in their bent Sandwell crony-style, Labour put out a leaflet showing his daughter as the candidate in Rowley:

Unfortunately Labour had seemingly overlooked the fact that Khan's daughter was not 18 at the relevant nomination date, and she had to be dropped. But corrupt Labour are so desperate to get a member of the fraudster's family on the Council they then selected his son for Rowley ward (and Randhawa has been out campaigning for him). There is no evidence that he has been guilty of any wrongdoing but the suspicion is being widely aired that he is a puppet for his bent father. Nice!

The Ethnic Vote

Over the past few years I have heard much criticism from locals about the alleged block voting of the so-called "ethnic" communities of Sandwell i.e. British citizens. Such moaning (and worse) has come entirely from white people. Subject to a couple of caveats set out below, I think these comments are misguided. Some of the "ethnic groups" are adept at engaging in the political process and that, in my view, is to be applauded. It is the unhealthy and unintelligent white "indigenous" population who are too shallow and spineless to stand up for their own local interests. It is that feckless and mindless herd that deserve opprobrium and who will be f*cked-over once again come Friday due to their own indolence and indifference.

Two "groups" deserve mention. The local Sikh community is a model of community interaction (for example, they brilliantly provide charity across ALL communities), and this has manifested itself in the Borough's politics. The self-appointed political leader of local Sikhism, Gurinder Josan, is on Labour's National Executive Committee and has his fingers in many local pies. He has been the willing lapdog of local grotesques, Tom "Twatson" Watson and the greasy bookies' runner, John Spellar - notably in their campaign to destroy Mahboob Hussain. Labour has used Council officers for "voting drives" in the Gurdwaras, but this community is generally more "switched-on" politically anyway, and will continue to thrive on the Council for the foreseeable future. Which is generally good. And members of the Sikh community are also joining and representing the Conservatives too, although not with so much success in Sadders as yet.

The Muslim community is more politically disparate than their Sikh counterparts but a major source of Labour votes nonetheless. Certain individuals seem to be able to influence local communities - and not always for the best.

We saw, for example, that at the last general election Tividale Mosque directly threatened to have its worshippers vote against Labour if local Councillors did not sell it some land in Gate Street. Incidentally, a leading figure in that scandal was Basharat Khan (Skidders passim). Bash was suspended by Labour for vile antisemitic social media posts (exclusively disclosed on this blog), but is now being pictured out on the campaign trail with local Conservatives. (Quite what Nicola Richards thinks about that we don't yet know but I am sure she won't be the only one to be concerned.)

The first issue - if it be such - with these "groups" is a perceived lack of transparency. Politically, in Sandwell Sikhism, what happens in the Gurdwara stays in the Gurdwara. For example, the "top brass" in the Sikh community know the full story about the sudden resignation of the former Labour "leader", Rajbir "The Boy Blunder" Singh, but they are not letting on what actually brought about his moonlight flit. Further, for example, Gurinder Josan, and his handmaiden Labour Councillor Pam Randhawa, have tried to hijack Sandwell Police's supposedly "Independent Advisory Group" whilst keeping their activities secret from the wider community (more on this soon).

The second issue is more contentious, not least because what is being done is perfectly legal. This relates to the influence of certain individuals on how sections of the community vote. It is clear that drug barons in the west of the Borough have been working hard this year to have certain Labour candidates elected. Also, the malign presence of "Billa" - disgraced former Labour Councillor Mohammed Yaseen Hussain aka "the Tipton Tosser" - has been much in evidence in Labour campaign pictures (which implies that his Party suspension has been lifted?)

There were extraordinary scenes in Tipton Green last year. The excellent independent candidate, Richard Jeffcoat, was polling well during the day and in the evening the local Muslim community organised an emergency transport of a large number of voters - to one polling station in particular. This swayed the vote and Labour's Abid "The Invisible Man" Hussain was duly elected.

Quite frankly I don't have a problem with this save that Party machines will always be able to wield more resources than an individual like Richard. We all have a right to vote and should use it. Anything that ANY local communities do to get folk to vote is good in my book. The fact is, as above, that the "indigenous" white communities are too anti-social to organise themselves to even vote, let alone organise transport within local areas. And in Tipton Green many are probably too pissed or drugged-up to be let loose behind the wheel of a car anyway.

The big question, of course, is why any communities or individuals in Sandwell continue to vote for Labour corruption? Why do people vote for extraordinarily thick people like Jackie "Jac of No Trades" Taylor or an appalling corrupt liar like Syeda Khatun? Why do people sh*t themselves in this way.?Answers on a postcard please!

The good news is that the latest census shows that the herd of Sandwell white ignorami is gradually being culled. Whereas locals self-describing as "White" constituted 69.9 of Sadders in 2011 this shrunk to 57.2% in the latest - 2021 - count. Hopefully that means an increase in communities willing to engage in local democracy. Politicians should heed the message and galvanise ALL voters rather than "pigeon-holing" what they perceive as "groups".

Elections 2023

The list of all candidates is available on the Council website via this link:

https://www.sandwell.gov.uk/elections2023

The same link provides details of the new voted ID requirements. It will be interesting to see how that works - particularly if there is a repeat of the Tipton Green "late influx" or similar. Candidates will need to monitor the situation carefully. Lest we forget, last year there was a brazen attempt at the actual Count in corrupt Sandwell to rig the result in Tividale - right under our noses!

I will make a couple of general points and then mention the specific wards.

The Conservatives were - so it is rumoured - struggling to find suitable candidates having decided to contest all the Borough's seats. As usual they have then failed to support candidates in some wards adequately or at all. An angry Abbey voter stated on social media that she had not even received a leaflet from the Tories. There are particularly bizarre rumours concerning their "campaign " in Rowley (and I am looking into that).

The Lib Dems have a couple of aces in the pack this year. Generally they spend all year rimming corrupt Labour - for reasons no-one locally understands - but they are fielding Clive Heywood and Cllr Richard Jones this time around. Clive is a great guy who has been a leading light in the campaign to save Brandhall Green Space (and other green spaces Labour are seeking to destroy like Lion Farm Fields). Richard has defected from bent Labour. He is not without political sin, but after all the recent horrors he has been an amazingly good Mayor of Sandwell this year. I have had a couple of run-ins with him at Council meetings but, generally speaking, he has chaired the meetings efficiently and with wit and grace.

The Wards

Abbey - they may be the vilest people in Sandwell but inhabitants of the "socialist paradise" that is sh*thole Bearwood love Labour corruption and are guaranteed to vote to be shafted again. The Labour candidatem so it is said, is a Watson appointee (as his malign presence still lingers around Sandwell like a bad smell). Recently she was a Labour Councillor in Gedling, Nottinghamshire, but now claims to be resident in Sandwell (although her and her partner - see below -have concealed their address). Last year she was thrust into the Charlemont and Grove Vale contest, but Charley folk have got wise to bent Labour and she suffered a humiliating defeat. Labour never give up with failed candidates and have given her the ultra-safe Abbey seat where they know Bearwood Berghaus-bolshies are stupid enough to do their bidding.

It will be interesting to see what vile Abbey Councillor Bob "Seig Heil" Piper has to say about his Nottinghamshire comrade as he is abusive to anyone - including myself - he deems to be overweight. I am indebted again to Sandwell Corruption for reminding us all of just some Piper's comments on those he perceives to be obese:

Blackheath - Ought to be a Tory target but ...

Bristnall - Clive Heywood is the obvious choice to beat corrupt Labour here. As above, local candidate Clive has been a stalwart of the Save Brandhall Green Space campaign (and is against the destruction of nearby Lion Farm Fields by Labour). I know him personally and he's a good 'un.

Charlemont and Grove Vale - Charley residents have been kicking out useless Labour Councillors. This time around they have the opportunity to get rid of the absolutely useless Elizabeth Giles. She is of course, one of four of the retarded Giles family with their snouts in the Council trough. Charley can deliver a blow to the Giles Greed Machine on Thursday and correct the error they made in electing Giles in the first place.

Cradley Heath & Old Hill - In many blogs I have informed the people of Sandwell about the notorious masturbator, John Tipper. This tosser (literally) was a Labour Councillor before, and borrowed a taxpayer-owned phone to film himself w*nking. He forgot to delete it when he gave the phone back. This spineless prat has then got his mate, p*sshead perv Adam Smith** of the Express and Star "newspaper" to lie for him about this. Labour tried to get this weirdo back on the gravy train a couple of years ago, but the good folk of Old Warley duly rejected Sp*nk Brother 3. If the people of CH & OH vote Tipper it is they who will be forever identified as w*nkers. (Oh, and by the way, when Tipper wasn't spanking the monkey he had his hand in the disastrous and dangerous Blackheath Christmas Lights fiasco following a sweetheart "deal" with bent Labour ***! Oh yes, and he's also a "close friend" of the Carmichael family ...)

Friar Park this north Sandwell sh*thole should be a Tory target but ...

Great Barr with Yew Tree - currently the holder of "The Sh*ttiest Ward in Sandwell" title. The morons in this area last year voted for a useless criminal as their Labour Councillor. This is supposed to be a Tory target but local scum are highly likely to soil themselves again. Time and time again we have seen the rampant nepotism and cronyism of bent Sandwell Labour and here we go again. The Labour candidate, Kay Allcock, is the wife of ineffective Labour Cllr Keith Allcock.

Great Bridge - ALL three candidates in this ward have concealed their addresses but then who would want to live in this Labour hellhole?

Greets Green and Lyng - these are the tw*ts who voted in a Walsall resident rather than a Sandwell one, and so you can see that they are more dimwitted than most in the Borough. And at least they have the chance to vote for someone as thick as themselves - Labour hopeless Jackie "Jac of No Trades" Taylor. These w*nkers deserve everything they don't get from corrupt Labour.

Hateley Heath - another ward where all three candidates are concealing their addresses but then who wants to live in Hateful Heath? Labour are expected local morons to re-elect Kay Millar who has been an absolutely useless Councillor. Interestingly, not only is she concealing her address (believed to be in Smethwick) for this election but she is also concealing it from us all in her Register of Interests. Why? What has she got to hide? If you want to smear yourself with excrement HH - then "vote Millar".

Langley - yet another ward where ALL three candidates have concealed their addresses. On the face of it the Conservatives have a lively candidate. But there are questions. The Tories have known full well that Labour have been busy covertly trying to push through the fraudulent deal to destroy Lion Farm Fields but I am not aware that they have asked a single question in two years about what is actually going on. Fair play, the Conservative councillors have been unanimous in their opposition to concreting over the Fields - and perhaps they have been doing stuff behind the scenes - but they have said sod all publicly. However, the Labour Candidate is the mother of the Lying Labour Leader Kerrie "Dim Kez Carmichael. Within seconds of becoming Labour "leader" she publicly lied twice to a full Council meeting - here's the first blatant whopper:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ePS6vW3hDQ

Dim Kez's husband works for Sandwell Council as well as doing some side hussles to bring in extra loot Chez Carmichael. Now Labour have secured a possible seat aboard the gravy train for her mother, Gill Tromans. I know nothing about Tromans save that if she attempted to bring her daughter up to tell the truth, she singularly failed.

NOTE ESPECIALLY - Dim Kez was a member of the most corrupt Labour Cabinet in Sandwell's history (so far) and has been fully supportive of the bent Labour plan to destroy Lion Farm Fields. A Labour vote IS A CERTAIN VOTE TO SUPPORT LABOUR'S BENT DEAL TO DESTROY THE FIELDS. (Tivi residents also please note). Stop this fraud, and destruction of green space on Thursday!

Bizarrely there is NO Green Party candidate in this ward where the desecration of a large green space is the major issue.

Newton - after 49 years of Labour Newton is a nasty. nondescript, ward. Vote Labour if you want to keep it that way.

Old Warley - the most interesting contest on Thursday. All four candidates have chosen to conceal their addresses. The Tories have a lively candidate, Paul Smith, who, at least, admits to "living in Birmingham". As above, Labour defector Rich Jones is up for the Lib Dems. Anyone voting Labour in this ward needs medical help, but there is a danger that the Tories and Lib Dems will split the anti-Labour vote and let their candidate in. Old Warley needs to go out and vote against Labour in large numbers!

Oldbury - your chance to dethrone an existing Labour Councillor.

Princes End - formerly "The Shittiest Ward in Sandwell" title-holder but the folk here, as in Charley ward, have seen that bent Labour have failed dismally over the last 49 years. Surely a target seat for Conservative candidate, Justyna Kordala?

Rowley - see above re Naseem Khan. Apart from the bizarre rumours about the Tory campaign there is nothing further to add save that the Lib Dems are fielding the hate-filled and appalling social media troll, Wikas Khan, as their candidate!!!!

Smethwick - In Labour crony style they have put the partner of Hemingway, Luke John Davies, into this rock-solid Labour sh*thole. That's two snouts in the trough for these outsiders who have "blown in" from Nottinghamshire. Like his partner in Abbey ward he has concealed his address but claims to reside in Sandwell.

Soho and Vic & St Pauls wards - both rock-solid Labour. Both absolute crap holes but the morons who live in these places obviously like it that way and want more of the same. All three candidates in St Paul's have refused to provide their addresses.

Tipton Green - who on earth would vote for a lying scumbag like Syeda Khatun (Skidders passim and see legal notice below)? This liar was sacked from the Labour Deputy Leadership when her corrupt lies in the Simon Hackett scandal were exposed. Her deceit - with that of the likes of Eling and Hackett himself - has cost us taxpayers hundreds of thousands of pounds.

Khatun has successfully amassed considerable wealth from taxpayers supporting her various "organisations". She lauds it over the pathetic poor people of Tipton from her house with gated compound (a la Billa). She was also the sh*t who made a false and malicious allegation which caused The Skidder and Darryl Magher to be unlawfully barred from a public Council meeting. As if that wasn't bad enough, she is such a snivelling coward she would not admit that she was the liar and she gained the support of a number of very stupid Labour Councillors to "protect" her identity - including current leader [sic] Dim Kez herself. This led to a High Court action against the Council and a large number of Labour Councillors which resulted in the bent Borough issuing a grovelling apology.

If you are stupid enough in Tipton Green to vote for this scum you really do deserve to be sh*t upon. And your wish will be fulfilled - again!

As it is, the ward has a real alternative in the excellent Independent candidate, Richard Jeffcoat (pictured below). Richard has stood before, but with such a poisonous Labour candidate as Khatun, surely locals will see sense and vote him in this time? He is local and passionate about Tipton. Not only has he been working with the community to make Tipton a better place, but he will be a very strong anti-corruption candidate. He is also intelligent - which the vast majority of bent Labour Councillors are not. He will not sit on his hands but will be asking all the right questions whilst fighting hard to make sure more resources are diverted Tipton's way.

Unfortunately, The Tories are anxious to lose this seat and to see corrupt liar Khatun get re-elected. They refused to stand down and get behind Richard as an anti-corruption candidate - which was probably the worst of their poor recent decisions. Richard is so proud to live in Tipton and, of course, he has disclosed his address whereas the Tory has concealed his.

IF YOU WANT TO SEE CORRUPT LIAR SYEDA KHATUN FINALLY KICKED OFF THE COUNCIL DO NOT VOTE TORY IN TIPTON GREEN - VOTE RICHARD JEFFCOAT.

Tividale - After Labour tried to rig the Tivi Count last year, Tory Councillor Amrita Dunn has been a breath of fresh air in the ward. Lion Farm Fields are on the edge of Tivi but are an issue for locals who will be severely affected by the loss of green space and the horrendous traffic issues that will ensue if Labour force through their fraudulent deal. Remember that a Labour vote here is a specific vote for their bent plan to destroy the Fields.

Wednesbury North and Wednesbury South wards - I was up in Wednesbury the other day. Christ, what an absolute dump after 49 years of Labour domination! But that's all that local morons deserve when they vote for pure Labour poison like Costigan, Peter Hughes, Luke Giles, Chambers, Chidley etc.

These ought to be two Tory target wards but I am hearing that campaigning has been between minimal and non-existent? Why, when Labour have f*cked local people over so often? Bescot, Goldicroft, the attempt to rig the absurd BID scheme, Sahotaville etc. etc.

The only good news is the departure of poisonous liar, "Inane" Elaine Costigan.

Incidentally, the Labour Councillors were putting-up lots of pictures of them posing at the new market - another spectacular and misguided waste of public money. This was the reality on Saturday in your Labour poverty ghetto Wednesbury:

West Brom Central - social media commentators say this is another ward with no Tory leaflets of campaigning. Why put up candidates in seats that are not then fought?

DON'T FORGET YOUR VOTER ID FOLKS. GET OUT AND BRING POSITIVE CHANGE TO SANDWELL!
