In pantomime it’s usually the villain who’s “behind you”. There is strong evidence that behind Marshall, in his dealings with Julian Saunders, lurked Cllr. Steve Eling, Labour leader of Sandwell Council.

Marshall’s motive in engaging with Julian Saunders emerges clearly in their dialogue. Under cover of the Eling swamp draining agenda, Marshall, providing little or no evidence in support, makes serious allegations against a number of his fellow Labour councillors.

Ploughing through the pages of the Whatsapp exchanges between Cllr. Richard Marshall and Julian Saunders is revealing and disturbing. The sheer unpleasantness of some content shames both. Something Mr. Saunders now seems to acknowledge, while Marshall remains in denial.

Hard upon Cllr Richard Marshall’s stepping aside from his council cabinet post as head of Leisure in Sandwell, his one time correspondent and bezzy mate, Julian Saunders, aka the Sandwell Skidder, has posted an interesting blog.

Last week saw the death of Derek Robinson, popularly known as Red Robbo.

An interesting development in the bog-gate saga.

A planning application has now been submitted to demolish the redundant public lavatories in the Shambles in Wednesbury and build two retail outlets at street level with flats above on first and second floor levels.

The picture above circulated by Sandwell MBC propaganda department illustrates a problem in Sandwell.

When a West Bromwich West constituency Labour party, (CLP) meeting recently proposed an investigation into the activities of Cllr. Richard Marshall there were some significant abstainers.

Little wonder that the trots and moral defectives in Wednesbury North Labour party wanted to dump Adrian Bailey as their candidate at the last General Election and have been sniping at him ever since.

There is something unusual about Sandwell or, more specifically, about the Labour party in Sandwell.

Is it because that party has been in power for so long in council, it thinks itself untouchable?
