The polluter pays principle is usually defined as
“those who produce pollution should bear the costs of managing it to prevent damage to human health or the environment.”
The research that myself and others have done to uncover the original polluters, in my case the doomwatch list of West Midlands former landfill sites has been systematically hampered by civil servants- particularly in The Environment Agency who want to stop people finding out “what’s in your backyard”. They want to stop people finding out the truth as to what waste was dumped there historically and the links to human and environmental health from being known. It was not hard to find out the companies who were despoiling the land prior to the 1990’s, or the individuals behind those companies- but they have attempted to make it harder to muddy the waters of history. One can only conclude they have done this because they are either bent, or their political paymasters have told them to, and they are also bent.
An ENDS article by Danny Halpin explored some of the issues and featured the case of Rattlechain Lagoon. Building houses close to or on top of landfill sites is a bloody stupid idea- any fool would know that. But pretending to “clean them up”, making them “shovel ready” , the “brownfield first” policy and other such soundbites appears to be the new mantra of fake green credential politicians , whose real aim is to serve their masters in the construction industry whilst also helping their agricultural farming mates to land bank for another day. So we get “the housing crisis” and “climate emergency”- more fake doom promoted by their friends in the mainstream media and Globalist think tanks in an attempt to change our behaviour and make their cash building more palatable to a gullible coerced public.
History has shown that the former West Midlands County Council was an absolute shit show in terms of regulating toxic waste. Their legacy and its governance is the one which we are left with today.
At this time, and probably when their gravy train was finally wound up in the mid eighties, the image below was the one they were trying to project- that of outsiders interfering in West Midlands matters and a faceless “them” defined by a man wearing a bowler hat in Whitehall.
The truth of the matter is, Whitehall continues to run the West Midlands and always has, the deception is with the visual fraud of “levelling up”, “growth areas” and other such terms which gravitate down. Add these to the aforementioned fake doom I have already mentioned and you can see how the political class attempt to sway the “calamity” from happening with the solutions to problems that do not really exist. Always question the narrative with PROBLEM- REACTION-SOLUTION and politicians.
So then enter the man-beast bastard son of this failed quango now known as “The West Midlands Combined Authority”. The authority formally came into being on 17th June 2016 but was created without any public vote or mandate to establish it. It was a political invention for which some people are paid extra allowances for doing fuck all but blowing hot air in the press, oh and wearing a hardhat.
“Local” democracy devolution was the brainchild of Globalist war criminal scum bag Tony Blair and co. There was a no brainer in that London was the first to elect a “metro mayor” in a referendum test as this particular area is known for its mental illness in inflicting self damage upon itself through electoral means and also supporting a Royal Family fascist autocracy without question. I base this on
- Their tendency to re-elect the Khant, whose administration wants to ban cars, tax them for parking in their own street and making up statistics about air quality. They also of course chose Red Ken and Boris Johnson before that!
- Their support for the biggest body mafia of fraud known as The European Union and wanting to remain a part of it.
- Protesting every week about something or other in an echo chamber of their own back yard believing the rest of the country really give a shit.
Also not surprisingly, you can look to Northerners to see through bullshit and deal in common sense. A Referendum held in 2004 derailed the rollout of Barony across the UK when they rejected such a system there.
And so the Globalists then plotted a railroad without mandate with the “Cities and Local Government Devolution Act 2016” forcing mayors upon us without a vote. They all have the same “2030 agenda”, waffle about “climate emergencies” and want to set up zonal 15 minute cities or similar to lock us down. Transport on two wheels and rail building projects are their major MO.
They are there simply to enact the vision of the Octopus World Economic Forum, and if you don’t believe me, then read this article as to where that vision wants to go.
At the helm of this useless vessel in The West Midlands is one Andrew Street– a former businessman from John Lewis and a completely dishonest man. His agenda is not making OUR lives better, not creating “affordable homes”- whatever that bullshit trite phrase even means, but building houses for the economic migrants that have been allowed to infest this country through protracted wars that have nothing to do with us and by the EU which wants to offload them onto us.
With birth rates falling in the native population in the UK, the house builder companies would not have any reason to be, and that is where their plan is eased by their political mates- for the last 13 years by the most corrupt and sleaze ridden party in UK politics history- The Conservative Party.
The swell of globalisation allows the excuse of breaking up the UK and its National identity into the regional bullshit zones where the dictators call the shots on behalf of their masters from Brussels and beyond. House building also supplies the crooked mates of the mayors in this sector to railroad through planning laws which have systematically been destroyed in favour of the developer and not residents. It allows the crooked agricultural industry to hang on a landbank their so called “greenbelt” . When the likes of Michael Gove come out with claiming that his Government would force through targets on councils, (in Labour areas of course), and yet ban such enforcements in rural Tory voting areas, you can see where the lie of “levelling up” is really going, and how people outside our area are really still calling the shots.
Businessmen make the very worst politicians as they construct a landscape in their favour- Problem-reaction-solution- for their own ends. Failed journalists make the second worst type of politician as they are so vain and narcissistic and have a symbiotic relationship with those they claim to be holding to account- think Boris Johnson, Anna Soubry, and of course “the miserable pipsqueak of a man” himself.
The house building target scam and “crisis” is one which is unravelling.
- The homes are not affordable, and the developers do not pay their way and are allowed to change conditions almost immediately after approval.
- They do not finish what they start and go easily into administration , only to rise like a phoenix as something else with the same directors.
- Some companies excel at lying and dishonest selling like Barratt Homes, the ones who built houses on the former sewage works next to Rattlechain.
- “brownfield” and “greenbelt” are terms that really mean surrendering Labour votes in towns and saving Tory votes in the Countryside.
- A gravy train for the political class that attend a property investment event every year in the South of France. That sounds local to The West Midlands doesn’t it?
- Unforeseen problems that exist on these brownfield sites such as mine shafts and gas pipelines FFS! . The coal authority is one of the biggest swindlers of information that is not historically correct, yet their records are misused by planning agents to give sites a clear bill of health.

The so called “Coseley new village” that is really going to impact Tipton and not Conservative controlled Dudley.
Added to this we see land in our region owned by one of its worst polluters- Severn Trent. Street’s regime has seen it do deals with this body, as his party have systematically failed to hold the privatised water industry to account and still pollute our few green spaces with impunity. He also of course bigged up The Commonwealth Games in the now bankrupt city that had the ghastly STW as one of its sponsors. Yet still this denialist joke believes it was a big success, and good money is thrown after bad with woke non entity sports getting tax payers cash.
Birmingham tax payers will be paying off this debt for a generation, and yet Andy Street thinks kabaddi is a vote winner- well maybe it is for some in the region. 😉
New policy introduced by The Conservatives including the ridiculous “biodiversity net gains” will see the creation of phantom “forests” and wank “wetlands” – more in practice a run off ditch for Severn Trent Water’s shite like the one below. The “Eco homes” sham with their electric chargers outside will not address the cobalt mines killing kids in foreign countries, and the disposal issues of these types of batteries. All show- no sense in practice.
Brownfield building is a con which pays and rewards the polluter and does not make them pay. The West Midlands Combined Authority headed by Street has already seen it pay public money to clear up contaminated land that the polluter did not deal with.
“those who produce pollution should bear the costs of managing it to prevent damage to human health or the environment.”
As part of a campaign leaflet, he had the guile to even tell us how much public money was being used to pay to “clean up” private land.
- We again get here the fictitious “covid crisis”- the fascistic imprisonment of The British people between 2020-2021. Politicians kept the construction industry open of course because their own money is heavily planted within this sector. They also of course constructed fraudulent PPE contracts for themselves and their cronies and are lying thieving criminals for doing so.
- It is claimed that he negotiated £350 million- so therefore proves that money is still coming from a central place in Whitehall.
- The “clean up” is of private land- the polluter does not pay- we do. What is to boast about that? Waste contractors and those who filled holes with rubbish should pay, and not us.
- He talks of Friar Park- the Severn Trent owned land that the bent deal was done with- a multi million pound private company failing to pay its way and clear up its own sites. Fuck off Andy you are a conman in a suit stealing money from the public purse, robbing Peter to pay Paul.
In the coming months before May, I will be unravelling the Brownfield building scam and the WMCA polluter doesn’t pay fraud for what it is in a number of posts.
- I have already listed two parts of the former Shidas Lane fiasco, SEE HERE, AND HERE, and will be outlining the third as to how the legacy of Accles and Pollack and then a prolific foundry sand dumper making a habit out of not paying for pollution was scraped out using tax payers cash to create an ambulance base. In between, a highly dubious Jersey registered company suddenly sold this land prior to it receiving tax payers money for “clean up”, with Mike Birds Conservative Walsall council strangely being named on the title register deeds as lender. Bird of course is one of the WMCA big spongers getting extra cash himself for a position no one elected him to do.
Street had this to say when I questioned him on tax havens and giving money to bodies based “off shore” in 2017, and his response was fairly evasive in itself I have to say
“The general point on that- (long pause), It’s not what one would hope for quite frankly, but I er, I don’t think we can rule it out just for that. We could set a criteria, I don’t think we’ve done it but I always hope and my record on this which I’ve made very clear- I’ve always said that companies must be domiciled here, must pay their tax here , that was the debate with amazon . So I think I’ve got good form on this but can’t actually rule something out in this of being able to apply for the fund.”
So there it is, a green light to register a company for years and dodging tax, and then setting up or “selling it” to a UK intermediate handler to be able to get tax payers cash for purposes of eventual sale without paying anything to clean it up themselves- that is what the WMCA via Street are promoting.
- I will be outlining the pollution of Millpool in West Bromwich and the fraudulent “ultra heat treatment” used by the scam and scum house builder company known as “Mar City Developments” and one of the worst and most incompetent run factories in the country- W H KEYS LIMITED.
- Then there is the land at Bourne Street in Coseley as well as many others that Street salivates over building houses on crap land for his mates.
It is also worth noting that Street has made an attempt at a so called “hostile takeover” of the other non mandated position of “Police and Crime Commissioner” where quite frankly politicians should not be allowed to interfere in police affairs- least of all from investigating tax evasion, money laundering abroad and malfeasance in public office.
In 2024 it will be first past the post and not the supplementary transfer votes system which means that this has yet again turned into a Conservative/Labour show and demonstrates how they have both orchestrated something the public never voted for into the familiar two horse fascistic race. Democracy?- don’t make me fucking laugh.
I will of course be examining the credentials of the Labour Mayoral candidate as we progress, with any other minor parties not worth bothering with, as they stand no chance in hell of being elected. My concern is two cheeks, same arse.
AT THIS YEARS MAYROAL VOTE, GIVE US A REAL VOTE ON SCRAPPING THIS POSITION AND THE WMCA AND ALL THE WASTE IT ENTAILS. THE POLITICIANS ARE NOT ON OUR SIDE, THEY SIDE WITH PAYING THE POLLUTER USING OUR MONEY.
