A Hint of Democracy

 This last few weeks we have heard from failing Labour administrations in Birmingham, Sandwell, Wolverhampton and Dudley, just how wonderful it would be for them to get their hands on extra money to become a massive authority.

We even have some people thinking they could be good enough to run for Mayor.

There is one problem to the political frenzy for funding,

Not one elected member of any West Midland Authority has mandate to do it, yes not one put it in any leaflet , not one made it a part of their election campaign, in a true bit of dirty politics they all waited till just after the election.

Now however there is a glimmer of light, a sliver of decency shining through the smog of local politics

A petition which calls for Sandwell residents to have a 

REFERENDUM

Sandwell Residents can voice their opinion by forcing the Council to listen to its residents

Sandwell Tory said

People all across the whole political spectrum are against a Greater Birmingham, an area's identity

and heritage cannot be sold, lets trust the the people to decide

West Midlands Council JOKE

So the powers that be want us all to jump up and down with excitement about the proposed West Midlands Super Council, there is however one little problem to this cunning plan,  most of the councils are in a complete mess and failing.

Failing Labour run Birmingham now joins Failing Labour run Sandwell, Failing Labour run

Wolverhampton and failing Labour run Dudley.

This new leaked report say that Birmingham council 'is failing to improve and leadership is poor' we know that folks just look at Sandwell.

In Birmingham's case the council has been told to improve or the Government will send a team in to run it

Sadly for Birmingham residents Birmingham Council leader Sir Albert Bore insisted he was “confident” progress was being made” which strangely enough is similar to the phrase used by Sandwell's Labour leader Councillor Cooper just before the Ofsted bombshell when Sandwell Children's services were dubbed ‘inadequate’ and the statement “The Government is very concerned” is still hanging over Sandwell.

 

This follows Wolverhampton Council hiring a troubleshooter to improve its failing schools and Dudley has a big problem upsetting everyone by wanting to site a new Enterprise zone in the middle of a green belt. 

 

This is topped by the sickening announcement that the police and our local authorities haven't got a clue what to do with CSE   issues in the West Midlands,  someone deserves the sack for this, as it looks like the WMP have completely  ignored the Jay report.

Sandwell Tory said 

There a lot to do before we talk about elections for a Mayor or West Midlands leader, the people deserve things to work first. 

but there are a few things you can be sure of 

 

1, We know about poor leadership in Sandwell

2, no one will ever resign,

3, there are lessons to be learned

4, we are working on this issue

till the next time of course

Sandwell Council Accounts Failure

Once again the local circus is in town, this time Sandwell Council has been found guilty of “Mismanagement” and "misconduct" after failing to file the correct legal documents for the last 18 months

The Charity Commission was forced to investigate Sandwell MBC after saying it had NO legitimate excuse for not filing full accounts for the Hadley Playing fields in Smethwick.

Any organisation registered as a charity has to file accounts with the Charity Commission

Sandwell Tory said

This is just another failure by this council in a long line of failures, Sandwell council is under investigation by KPMG but the council has not released the findings, Councillors have stepped down and the police are currently conducting an investigation

This follows appalling children's Services Ofsted failures going back 6 years

the list goes on and on and the residents of Sandwell deserve better in this failing borough

ref E&S p5 17:07:15

Sandwell's children services "inadequate"

 

The people of Sandwell deserve better, with heads of departments gone, cabinet members gone, staff sacked , staff re-employed, but once again Sandwell is still inadequate

Sandwell residents have become accustom to inadequacy from this leadership but  the leadership must go and right to the top.

the Ofsted report says

Leadership, management and governance, inadequate

We already know that, year after year we have had promises of improvement and year after year it stays the same.

Click here to read the Ofsted report

For years this failure has continued with the same leadership at the top.

 We now call for Mr Cooper to resign, the children and families deserve better,  the people of Sandwell deserve better.

 

Sandwell Labour can now boast 

The Council is under investigation about land sales

Poor Educational results

Dead High streets

Major housing problems and a

Inadequate Children's services

Sandwell Tory said

Mr Cooper must resign,and will a our red faced Mr Watson force him ?

Will Mr Watson shout in the Commons calling for resignations?

What will this do for Mr Watsons attempt at deputy Labour leader ?

What a distastefulness mess, what a shame for the kids 

Tom doesn't think Labour overspent

Yes just weeks after he was reported as throwing his name in the hat as a contender for the role of Labours deputy leader, Tom has now appeared on the BBC's Sunday politics show.

Interviewed by Andrew Neil a excellent TV journalist, Tom seemed quite evasive when asked on a number of occasions his views about the last Labour governments spending

Andrew finally said

You and I both said two times each, that is four times we’ve said it isn’t the case, I am asking a different question, were you borrowing too much when the crash, which you didn’t cause, came?

Tom replied

I personally don’t think we were.

Sandwell Tory said

This latest comment comes shortly after Tom was in the press about

 his poor attendance record in the commons

Tony Blair resigns

Yes Tony Bliar is reported as writing to the UN boss Ban Ki-moon to confirm his resignation.

Mr Bliar has been the peace envoy since 2007, lots of writers say Mr Bliar has been in the job far to long

He joins a very select group of former Labour socialists who have become very wealthy

Sandwell Tory said

Now he's gone lets see the Chilcot report , now that would make interesting reading

To All our Readers

We have not gone away ,

We have not moved to a new web site

We are back by popular demand

Yes, after the last of many emails

asking were have all the real Tories in Sandwell gone

we are back brewing up controversy

Next Post soon 

Will Mr Cooper apologise to the people on the St Georges day parade?

Once again Labour show their true colours and status, this time a Labour MP passes comment about our national flag, the cross of St George hanging on a house, not long ago Sandwell Labour cut funding for the St Georges day flag waving parade saying it was racist.

Labour now class most things not in their nice little Red Agenda as smutty or in some cases racist

The Labour MP in question owns a multi Million £ home but I wonder how many working class folk know that who voted her in.

We have a similar thing in the West Midlands Labour party, the one thing Labour do very successfully is to become wealthy Toffs.

 Just one look at the Councillors car park in Oldbury will give you a good idea, with its rows of sparkly new BMW 's just part of Sandwell's Champagne Socialists Class.

Yes being in the employ of us the electorate is a very lucrative business, strangely in a open democracy we have a number of families as councillors in Sandwell, Mom, Dad, sons and daughters all on the public payroll

I wonder, Does no one else ever wishes to run for election for Labour, 
why is it just Labour family members? 

Could it be they have so few members ?  

 or 

Could it be that even in Sandwell Labour,  that family are a better class of socialist than the other Labour party members ?

Regular readers also know I fully supports the Sandwell St Georges day parade and always have done and firmly believe it should be a national holiday.

Now the gentleman who owns the house in question wants an apology from Labour, I fully believe he and the Sandwell St Georges day parade all 20,000 of them should also get an apology from Labour

Sandwell Tory said

A challenge, Will Mr Cooper will apologise to the 20,000 people on the Sandwell St Georges day parade, on Emily Thornberry behalf

or perhaps 

would Tom Watson will tell us if Emily Thornberry resigned over Labours Mansion tax or the Twitter post 

 

Strangely Red Ed and is Red Labour followers in Sandwell also hide behind the flag as well.

Or perhaps its just at  election time ?

Mr Watson who do you support ?

I have to ask if the famous comical circus merry go round called Sandwell Labour have been appointed main political advisers to the Miliband election camp, as Labour have now embarked on a plot to make 

rED Miliband look stupid in defeat.

Not content with making Sandwell look sadly hilarious with its "Consultations" that you never see, or by its Labour leader Ruling by decree in the Greater Birmingham row,  senior  Labour members now use the press and media almost daily joking if rED Miliband will make it to the end of the week,  with Alan Johnson being the favourite to take the leadership roll.

His team are openly attacking him but at the same time the press team are saying all is fine, you can imagine the depth of the problem when Neil Kinnock who led Labour to a number of electoral disasters comes back and supports rED Miliband.

Even former chancellor Alistair Darling was quoted as saying Mr Miliband still 'needs to show' he is up to the job of being Prime Minister.

As usual our local Labour MP's seem stunned in silence , I would love to see a

Dial “M” for Miliband book but I doubt if that is on the horizon

Mr Watson, Mr Bailey, Mr Spellar would you care to comment on the Labour leadership ?

Sandwell Tory said

With this latest performance, I just cant understand why rED Miliband aspires to be the PM when he could get a much better paid job in Sandwell as the Circus Master.

My own party should not get complacent as the peoples disillusionment with politics continues as they see main stream parties of becoming little better than family institutions who DO NOT follow the wishes of the people  

Red Eds 2p

Red Eds problems escalate this week, when he is photographed giving a beggar what looks like 2p coin, his grip on power continues to ebb away as Labours share of the vote  melts in Scotland, but worse still he is  racing to a 33 month low in YouGov ratings which is even lower than Nick Clegg.

Poor Ed and his Labour party was also the reason for a major protest with 100's outside his hotel in Glasgow.

Further bad news hit Labour with Pollsters saying Labour are on course to lose as many as 20 seats in Labour’s traditional Scottish heartland

Some pundits are saying its the first time since the 1950s that the Conservatives have been ahead

of Labour in any Scottish poll

but the question on peoples lips is

Did Red Ed a multi millionaire give this woman just 2p ? 

Sandwell Tory said

yes, I reckon it was just a 2p coin  what do you think?
