OPINION
So another unmandated tenure of a position that no tax payer ever voted for is to take place in just a few days time. No one ever voted to create The West Midlands Combined Authority and the gravy train for the political class and their civil service stooges.
NO WE DON’T!
The incumbent mayor Andy Street is a regional joke. At every conceivable opportunity he is there, usually donning his custom hard hat and waving an arm in a passionate fit like a semi hard on trying to hulk up. You can see the comedy likeness potential of Charles Hawtrey and The Wealdstone Raider, and it is these comments that usually dominate social media whenever a new Street photo pops up.
Let’s be clear, this is not a personal attack, Street was a successful businessman who worked his way up through a certain company, but that is where it should have ended. We do not need an industrialist, a philanthropist or a rich man who owns multiple houses telling us what to do, making pointless soundbites and steering us towards an authoritarian tomorrow like the ghastly little London goblin Khant.
We do not need regional mayors, police and crime commissioners or any other figurehead based on some Yank big idea. Too much power is at stake here, and the political class already have too much of that when our freedoms become ever more restricted because of their actions leading us to wars, “pandemic” hoaxes, 15 minute cities, and unrestricted immigration which is clearly destroying the fabric of our society.
If you cannot speak the language of a country before you arrive there to stay indefinitely, you are not welcome here; on a boat, in a plane or by any other means. Our country is full, The West Midlands is full and yet the rampant house building agenda of Street and the other would be candidates let’s face it is to house even more of this fucking leaching scum. Enough! They however, our “leaders”, flee the West Midlands to places like Malvern, The Derbyshire Dales or Herefordshire like white flight doves seeking greener pastures.
Street’s big idea- the “brownfield first” agenda is an Armageddon for those who live in large towns which will grow beyond their capacity, and they already are. Remember West Bromwich Town centre- The “Golden Mile”?- look at what it is today, and look at the soiled faces of those who pound the streets there. It has become a no go shit hole, a college that breeds feral vermin and gangs that stab one another- a place to be avoided, and yet this dead duck Government, its vacating MP, and Street believes that pouring more money into it will make it a better place. You could not be more wrong, and derided politicians of the past are being proved more right every day. 😉
Street sucks up to business and offers no criticism of the most vile of the bunch Severn Trent Water. These Coventry cunts have systematically polluted our rivers and pools across the West Midlands, their staff and CEO lie, and yet they were rewarded with promotion during the ghastly Birmingham Commonwealth Games, and have been let off the hook by the Tories on every occasion for their sewage pollution discharges. Only re-nationalising the water industry will stop this, and stop their land banking scam from continuing- very much a part of Street’s brownfield first agenda.
The number of companies registered in tax evasion scum holes like Jersey is off the scale, and a part of the land banking corrupt fraud that money from Government is rewarding. The “levelling up” scam is a concave hole being dug sideways and backfilled with foundry sand and whatever other crap can be found. If we get four more years of this man, I doubt we will have any green spaces left in The Black Country, except pockets in Dudley and Walsall where his blue mates hang on to their voting fan club like turds in a dry well. Fuck their “precious greenbelt”, Crooked house restoration nonsense and other gimmick playing to the gallery white middle class middle-aged nonsense.
But is Labour the answer? The answer is NO. The other 4 candidates have no chance of winning and are wasting their time. Richard Parker is another man with glasses businessman who makes the extraordinary and so far not fact checked boasts of bringing £1 billion into the West Midlands. I do not believe the claim in his literature at all, but have not seen anyone ask him to prove the boast- well I open it up to him here. Give me a breakdown please of this figure and WHO it has benefitted, and not what companies it has benefitted which are two very different things.
What prosperity has he brought with this money when you look at areas within Birmingham and beyond? Why do Labour talk of regeneration like their opposite numbers as though they have never been in power, when we know what a fucking shit show they made before in Government when there was “no money left”. Labour are now tentatively using The Union Flag in their literature making them look more like a BNP advent calendar where a would be candidate lurks behind the flag turn of an A5 leaflet. It is a cynical stunt, but easy to spot, just don’t be fooled by it- just like Blair’s New Labour of Old.
No, we do not need Parker or Street, or a Chief Commissioner Gordon to manage a bunch of woke prancing coppers scouring social media to nab some ne’er-do-well as the murderers, rapists and thieves get off scot free by becoming “women” with dicks . If they were big enough, they would put a “none of the below” on the ballot paper or hold a referendum on the Position to be scrapped- unlike they did when the position was created. But they won’t because they are politicians, and all politicians are cowards, hiding behind words, party brand manipulation , soundbites and ultimately the pigs in uniforms who guard them passing laws to be upheld that make our lives increasingly authoritarian and less able to criticise the misery that they cause.
But I do urge people to spoil their vote and make it a referendum on scrapping this post. It is after all the only message that can be sent in an undemocratic system.
