WE TRUSTED THEM WITH OUR TOWN ARE YOU HAPPY WITH THE RESULT?

A little piece of nostalgia for you today. A short video put together by ex-Oldhamer Alan Walkden. These images are from a time when this town could hold it's head up with pride. Unlike to-day when sight or mention of the town makes you want to hide under a rock.

  

              

Notice in the opening shot The Old Town Hall when it was a building we were proud of, before the losers, YOU elected, allowed it's descent into decay and dereliction. An obscenity unseen anywhere else in the country. Do our elected twats give a flying fuck? Do they bollocks! Instead we get constant puffery on how Metrostink will bring thousands of people to the town. Do we really want them to see THIS???

No apologies for another pic of the atrocity. We should drag three councillors on the Town Hall steps every Saturday at mid-day, make them lick the building clean, then hang the fuckers in place of those stupid banners.

Notice how pleasant and open High Street was before the Goddamned Spindles cut the town in two. Another bit of inspired urban thinking from the brain dead town planners.

The video mentions that there were twenty-five cinemas in Oldham at one time. The Wulfe can only recall twenty-two. Anyone got a full list? Can you believe a town of this size could go from twenty plus cinemas to NONE?

In the pictures of Star Inn, which you will notice was quite a handsome building before some bastard whitewashed it, you can just see the railings round the old 'Three Valve Set.' Has anyone got a pic of the full set? If you don't know what the Three Valve Set was, ask yer granddad.

Notice the pic of the old Central Library. A perfectly serviceable building sacrificed on the altar of self aggrandisement by the glory hunters on the council. What do we have to replace it? Rogues Gallery Oldham! Was this a screaming priority? Is everything else in the borough tickety-boo? Is it fuck as like! But as long as you can get your name on something, fuck whether we need it or not. The building will be allowed to disintegrate same as the Town Hall, then the fuckfesters can demolish it. Simples!

Chaddy Baths another like the Library, allowed to go to rack and ruin cos the mongs had no money to spend on refurbishment, (they said). What do we get in it's place? The Chadderton Well Being Centre. Another pile of Council flummery. Seven Million quid over budget and a small matter of three quarters of a million quid a year adrift on running costs. And none of the fucking spacewasters noticed??

See the Latics shot. Look at the crowd.  Copy the pic. Show it around. Better still show it to Little Jimmy Pudden face. How many are the Loan Rangers attracting now? Must be thousands cos Little Jimmy's borrowing millions to bail them out of the shit. Mind you a lot of the blame for them being in the said ordure is to be laid at the door of the council chamber, wherein dwell some of the feeblest minds on the planet.

Did anyone notice the picture with the tram coming down Yorkshire Street? Not Union Street, note! Who's daft, us or them?

There was a passing mention of 'air pollution.'  Aye it was from all the industry working to make Oldham the prosperous town it once was. The only scents wafting on the breeze nowadays are curry and marijuana.
For the benefit of any US readers we must explain that the "Knocker Up' was not a sexual pervert, but was the guy who woke you (for a fee) every morning to go to your work (for an explanation of 'work' ask yer granddad.) No alarm clocks in those days.

Last but very much, not least, we have the cotton industry and Platt Brothers Engineers the largest manufacturers of textile machinery in the world. We are told there were 360 cotton mills in Oldham at one time. Just think how many folk they gave employment to. At the turn of the nineteenth century Platt Bros. employed 15,000 people. It was estimated that in 1890 Platts supported 42% of the population of the town.

See the offices from where this global empire was run. Compare it with the square miles of territory now required by the Tossers in the Tower to run the town into the ground.

Platts built Werneth station to better move finished goods and raw materials. The mongs have now demolished it to buld a Metrostink stop. They also built and gave the Lyceum to the town to further the education of it's people. It is now sitting quietly awaiting it's fate. We have no doubt it will go the same way as the Town hall, slowly subsiding into ruin. Samuel Platt was one of the founders of Werneth Cricket Club putting up the cash for the purchase of the ground when it looked as if the club would lose it when the lease expired. Those were the days when local dignitaries gave freely of their time and money to endow the town with many of it's amenities thus improving the lives of ordinary citizens. This is in direct contrast to the ME! ..ME! ...ME! ... bunch of thieves and rogues we have elected to the council. Their only aim being; grab as many allowances as you can and if we have to close amenities and facilities, well so what: I'm alright Jack!  

Samuel Platt invested £25,000, (a fortune in those days), in the Manchester Ship Canal Co. The opening was performed by Queen Victoria sailing up the canal on Sam Platt's yacht. There's name dropping for you.

In 1929 Platt's paid £100,000 for the patents for an automatic loom built by Japanese inventor Sakichi Toyoda. This was serious money. Toyoda changed one letter of his name, used the money to start an automobile manufacturing business, and the rest, as they say, is history. Small world ain't it?

WATCH THE VIDEO FOLKS. ASK YOURSELF WHAT HAPPENED TO EVERYTHING OUR PARENTS, GRANDPARENTS AND GREAT GRANDPARENTS WORKED FOR?  IT'S GONE FOLKS, SQUANDERED, STOLEN AND GIVEN AWAY BY PEOPLE WHO HAVEN'T THE NOUS TO RUN A BATH NEVER MIND A TOWN. WHY DO WE CONTINUE TO ALLOW THEM TO GET AWAY WITH IT?

WE REALLY DO NEED URGENT CHANGE ....MAKE YOUR VOICE HEARD .... IF YOU SAY NOWT THE FUCKING MONEY GRUBBING CROOKED SHITES WILL DRAG US INTO OBLIVION!!!

IF YOU WIN, THE IMPORTANT THING IS NOT TO TAKE PART, BUT TO TAKE THE FUCKING LOT!

Once again Hackers, believed to be, until recently,  employed by the News Of The World have managed to get behind the facade of our leader Jim Pudden Face's so called blog. Here again are the real thoughts of the Red Bloater as he attempts a monumental feat of self aggrandisement.
 Blog The second:

The 2012 London Olympics are now just two one year away and last week I attended the lunch of an exciting joint venture that aims to give me and the Borough a lasting legacy of these historic games.

The ‘No Future’ initiative will see OMBC team up with local private sector organisations to watch the games on one of them bloody big LSD tellys. That's probably as near as we'll get. We will also be looking at what can be done to ensure that residents benefit from this opportunity. Not a fucking lot really. It's tough out there.

To many people the London Olympics can seem far away in both time and distance but it's an ideal opportunity to kill two birds with one stone. Schedule your bankruptcy or administration hearing in the High Court at the same time and make your trip worthwhile. Some say that this is a once in a generation opportunity and I believe that the partnership that is No Future will bring me great benefit in securing my rightful share of  this legacy.

At the lunch that took place at Rogues Gallery Oldham I was fortunate to meet members of the No Future Steering Group from both the private and public sectors. I was impressed at how many people are genuinely interested in improving opportunities for residents us and making us wealthier and more power crazed. I'm certain that the seven of us can come up with some scheme to make a nice little profit for us.

 Local ambassador for fair play,  Paul Scholes, displayed the cards he has received from the Premier League, he has 90 yellow ones and  4 red ones. That's the third best in PL history. He was also booked 32 times by the Champions League, the best in the whole competition. They must like him to keep re-booking him so often.  Other home-grown talent  helping to support No Future included  'Pubsy',  Oldham's own graffiti artist,  Okabibele "Thumbs" Hailebikele our very own NW area 'Angry Birds' champion, and the world renowned embalmer Jerry 'Stiff Fingers' Sutcliffe. They were promoting the borough as a place of opportunity to fill your pockets at the trough and somewhere to visit after you were forced to leave when the town closed after being condemned.

Some people will, inevitably, scoff at these goals, but not supporters of Oldham Metropolitan Borough Athletic Football Club. Latics goals are too rare to be scoffed at. Many Nimbys from Failsworth and Saddleworth  will be quick to bring up reasons why it can’t and won't be done. In many cases nothing I say or do and nothing is what I say and do, will make them change their minds. But to those people who are committed to taking advantage of opportunities to plunder the piggy bank, I can pledge that between now and the Olympic flame being lit in London there is a lot of moolah to grab here in Oldham.

Recently, during talks with His Majesty Lord Coe,  I gave him an outline of the facilities we have available. I also gave him a large brown envelope, bulging with most of my years allowances, which I had drawn in advance just in case the pot runs dry. It really hurt parting with all that loot cash, but I am hopeful of getting it back several times over when the whatsits start. I have awarded myself been awarded sole ticket rights for any events we stage. Charlie 'Turd' Parker has a friend who works with a guy who's friendly with a chap who is skilled in precious metal removal refining. Charlie can get us cut price medals and only wants a small commission which probably won't exceed £158,000, so that will save us some money. I wanted to go to 'Pound Medals' but Charlie says his deal makes more sense financially. I hoped to secure the opening ceremonies which would be staged on the platform of the new Mumps tram stop but it looks as if it might not be finished in time. A pity! It would have been the biggest opening in Oldham since Frank Randle opened at the Empire Theatre. We will almost certainly stage the closing. This will be held in The Spindles shopping centre.

Events we have applied to stage and their venues include, but are not limited to ................

The Out Of Town Sprint - Wakes club harriers and big stores would seem to lead the field here.

Slow Bicycle Race - Two laps of a course around Mumps roundabout and Mark Allcock. All traffic signs and diversions to be adhered to. No dismounting.

Synchronised Swimming - Churchill Playing Fields

Karate - The TJ Hughes Centre Of Excellence

Shooting Men's Small Bore -  Local hotshot Jerry 'Mithering Twat' Sutcliffe sure to be found in the winners enclosure, or a weighted sack in Crime Lake.

Pot Holing Finals - Scheduled for Ripponden Road

The Marathon - Four laps of the hysterical historic by-pass. Unique in being the only town by-pass in the world to pass through a supermarket car-park and a filling station. - If wet Royton Assembly Hall.

Cleaning The Windows in the Old Town Hall - A new event. Local interest focuses on Don Errock who should clean up here, as long as the event is held out of licensing hours.

Mixed Sumo Wrestling - Final likely to be between local aces Howie 'Honey Boy' Sykes and Anne 'Whirlwind' Wingate. Get your money on the outsider.

Boxing - Al's gym Werneth  Royton

Diving - We had hoped to host the diving finals at Oldham Sports Centre but this was ruled out when it was found the boards were not high enough and it was felt that local folk might object to us spending £12Million to raise the roof by 30 feet. My suggestion to lower the water level was unfortunately not considered. Diving will continue to take place at Old Trafford.

I intend this to be a co-operative undertaking  i.e. you will do all the work: I will collect the divvi. I intend to let the six local areas run their own arrangements.  This way you can't blame me for any cock-ups. To this end we have appointed six new Olympics Senior managers, twelve deputy managers and 18 assistant managers. Office staff will be provided by a temp agency. We have provided office space at all centres and these have been re-furbished at minimum cost, for example we re-carpeted them all with some old carpet that was hanging around my office. It is quite serviceable and looks very nice when laid (unlike most of our lady councillors).  All this has resulted in huge savings to the borough so taxpayers can look forward to a smaller rise in Council Tax next year.

Should we be awarded any rowing events, I will have the Park Lake dredged of shopping trolleys and drug dealers and will put the Royal  Leader's yacht at the disposal of the organisers for use by the linesmen referees umpires whatever they call those guys in stripey blazers running the show. 

Here is an informal snap taken aboard my official yacht, Mayoress II as I am on my way to take the salute at the Spotland Review on the Rochdale canal. It was a tremendous spectacle as dozens  several  two OAPs in an adapted Eskimo Kayak sailed proudly past responding to my salute with the time honoured response of all canal boaters.

Finally, The Olympic Village. Athletes will be housed in the tented village on Albion Street and Curzon Street. Artisans who are currently using these magnificent purpose built structures will be re-housed pro-tem  on the old Tommyfield  sight  site. We know it will probably cause hardship but, Hey! What the hell! This is for the benefit of everyone in the council  town.

That's all for now folks - Securicor have just arrived with my Leaders allowances. So that's the rest of the day gone while I count it.

Thanks for being talked at: ...............Little Jimmy Pudden Face  

REE' ORL ABAHT IT!!

SCOOP !!  FROM OUR ROVING CORRESPONDENT.

IT had to happen. We told you they were skint.  Whispers Developments, non-re-developers of Royton Assembly Hall, and the favourite company of Jimmy Pudden Face and Counc Gushforth, have gone into liquidation. Below is the official notice filed today. By jove! I do believe this to be a scoop for BB as neither of our two 'news'- papers, The Advertiser nor The Oldham Lie-bour Chronicle, seem to have picked up on the story.  Yeah!!!! 

 Company:    WHISPERS DEVELOPMENTS (UK) LTD .

 Now: In Administration

 Company In Liquidation  

So, we ain't gonna get the £6900 Whispers owed in unpaid fines and costs. We are gonna miss out on the magnificent spectacle of the two tater-brains pursuing Whispers through the courts again. NOW what will happen to the project?  If OMBC still had the £215,000 they got for selling off another bit of the family silver, they could buy it back off the liquidator and we could start the whole process over again. Unfortunately the cash has gone, invested, short term, in councillors allowances and jollies.

Would a new developer be interested in re-starting this project? What looked fairly viable ten years ago must look a big risk in the current economic climate. OMBC can't want to get involved again. They washed their collective sticky fingers of  it ten years ago.

What OMBC should do is buy back the site and employ one of Oldham's famous mosque architects to rebuild it. That way we would get a building twice the size for the same price. Mind you, there would only be a one month warranty on the job and the building would be built in six or seven different styles, with different building materials on each side.

Latest score in the long running fiasco:      

WHISPERS  8                                           OMBC  0

                         89th min         OMBC  o.g.

                         90th min         Penalty

EXTRA TIME WILL BE PLAYED

WHISPERS, WHISPERS, WHISPERING WHISPERS.............!

Well, we would have collected on our bet!  - See 'Silence in Court...' : Tues. July 26th                                

Monday August 1st:  Enforcement action against the owner of Royton Assembly Hall has failed yet again.

Oldham Council were unable to serve an injunction against Whispers Developments (UK) Ltd. Director Wasim Khan ​ was believed to be on holiday in Pakistan.

The Manchester company purchased the loss-making building for £215,000 (from OMBC) in 2002 but plans to turn it into a venue for functions have failed to materialise. It has already been fined £3,500 plus costs for failing to secure the site. This amount (now £6,900 ) has not been paid.

A county court application for damages and/or to force the company to clear the site was adjourned yesterday until next month. When they won't appear again. What does Little Jimmy Pudden Face think he's going to receive in 'damages'? Whispers haven't paid the last fine. They won't pay the next one and there is no chance of collecting any damages from them. THEY ARE FUCKING SKINT!!!!

 How long will it be before Whispers plays the racist card and accuses OMBC of harassing them and puts in a claim against the Council.

Still the building will look nice with a golden dome and minarets at each corner and I bet they build it too high. But what the hell! This is happy-go-lucky Oldham, where anything goes. (Unless it's nailed down, that is).

Remember to keep checking on the promise clock in the right sidebar to see how many of the seven days remain of Gushforth's promise to fix the problem in that time.

LATEST SCORE ...... WHISPERS 6    OLDHAM MBC  0

THEM AS CAN DO ...Them as can't - drag every other bastard down with them!!

74 per cent of the borough’s 2,900 11-year-olds reached the standard expected of their age  in both the English and maths national curriculum tests.

This is down from 75 per cent in Oldham in 2010.


This means 26 per cent or 754 of the borough's 11 year olds will start secondary school in August without a good grasp of both subjects. What the fuck have they been doing for the past six years?

Schools Minister Nick Gibb said: “There has been a decline in the proportion of children — both boys and girls — who can read and write beyond the expected level.

“And the results of our weakest readers and writers also remain a real concern.

“We are determined to raise standards of reading.  We can and must do much better for the one in 10 boys who at the age of 11 can read no better than a seven–year–old.”  Who is teaching them????  Did no teacher notice for over four years that 26 per cent of their raison d'etre were in failure mode? In any other industry or profession failure over such a period would result in dismissal. What do we do with fucking teachers? Promote the brainwashed bastards!

Deare sir

WEE WILLY WANKER RUNS THROUGH THE TOWN ....Upstairs and downstairs in his NIGHTGOWN!!!!!

"I got this great suit. Pound Universe opening offer. Very bespoke indeed, innit?"

Shared Services Centre brings 65 50 20 jobs to Oldham

ONE of Oldham Council’s private sector partners, Mouchel,  is bringing new jobs to Oldham by relocating services to the borough.
Fact: They are relocating because they were forced to close their Liverpool operation to save money.

The move by the consulting and business services group, to consolidate some of its own business services to the town will bring more than 50 jobs, with many being taken up by local people. How fucking many exactly?
A spokesman for Mouchel said in December: " We are continuing to demonstrate our commitment to Oldham, most recently with the announcement that we will be bringing 65 new jobs to the borough." So that's fifteen jobs gone already!

Twenty of the roles were filled following a successful (sic)  recruitment day in the council’s offices open to local residents, Oldham Council and Unity Partnership staff. Twenty??? how many unemployed are there in Oldham?

Last October, Mouchel announced losses of over £14.7 million and was  forced to reduce its staff by 2,000 across the country.  Mouchel's bankers, Barclays, RBS and Lloyds called in accountants Deloitte to examine the company's books.At the time Mouchel had £180M of bank debt.  I bet OMBC wish they had £180M.

Little Jimmy Pudden Face, leader of the Labour group which appointed  the Chief Executive who signed Oldham up to a 12 year agreement with this company, said at the time,  "we should delay transfering further Council services to the partnership."    “First we have had to agree a bailout to stop losses following the failure of Mouchel to bring in the promised new work".  “We then had Oldham’s call centre moved to Rochdale, and have been forced to accept a shared management team with Rochdale to save money.”   So, effectively, we have been paying money, to save money, to a company that is losing money!

 This money we are talking about is your money folks. It's what's left of your council tax after the council have dipped their stickies in it.

SOoo! what has changed now?  Nowt probably.  Mouchel are most likely still going down the pan. OMBC still haven't got a clue how to do anything efficiently and without a major cock-up. This probably explains the smiling simpleton's absence from the meaningless bullshit picture, not wanting to be seen having anything to do with the scheme. Sending instead Counc Daktari, looking like a bag of shit wrapped in a pudding cloth to represent this town. Do we need further reminders of how far this town has sunk when so-called civic leaders turn up for civic events looking like they've just rolled out of their wanking pit?

Incidentally how does all this fit in with Little Jimmy's plan for a utopian co-operative council? He's already giving t'divvi away to outsiders while our Councillors, Council Officials and Executive Officers do fucking less and less for ever more bucketfuls of our cash from the golden trough.

The firm’s joint venture with the council  runs a number of the authority’s services including ICT, highways and engineering, property, and customer services such as Access Oldham in the civic building, revenues and benefits and contact centre. This explains a lot of things.

"Its new Shared Services Centre in the Oldham Business Centre, Cromwell Street, will provide ‘back office services’ such as finance, HR administration, payroll and procurement services to the company’s 9,000 employees nationwide."

Are WE paying for this perchance?

Why would any organisation or authority want or need to employ this company who can't even run their own affairs competently and efficiently and post  a £15M loss?

Previously, Mouchel’s services were split across a number of sites and the company says the consolidation will provide a better, more efficient service. Huh!  They are supposedly a  'consulting and business services group.' They lost 15M Quid, had £180M of bank debt and had to ditch 2,000 staff! What exactly is their field of expertise? What can they teach OMBC who are quite capable of bankrupting this town without outside assistance?  Sending us all down the shitter.


Counc Daktari, Deputy Leader and Member with Portfolio for Painting and Decorating, said: “Mouchel is proving to be an essential partner for the council during a period of tough financial challenges. mainly brought about by our inability to run anything without it being a complete fuck-up. This move is good news for Oldham, bringing extra jobs, skills and revenue to the town.” Until the next £15M goes down the pan that is. Why do we need to import more people into the town?  We have enough home grown talent with the skills to destroy the jobs and revenues of this sad place.

Peter Studd, Shared Services Director for Mouchel, said: “Our new Shared Service Centre will enable us to offer more effective business services like payroll, finance and HR.  Can the wanker not see the irony here? Here he is blowing his corporate trumpet for a company that can't even keep it's own affairs in order. This could only happen in to Oldham.

BULLSHIT....BULLSHIT AND YET MORE BULLSHIT!!!!!

YOU WERE WARNED.....IT'S NOT TOO LATE TO SAY.....NO !!

SIGN THE PETITION ..... Let's get out before we are taken over completely!

THE great British public has a chance to help force a key vote on Britain leaving the European Union.

"The Government has said it will consider any issue for Parliamentary debate if 100,000 people put their names to it. With the weight of feeling about the EU in this country, particularly over the economic bailouts,
we could easily achieve 10 times that number!

SEEK THE ANSWER IN THE TEA-LEAVES!

Police seek help  (God knows they need it!)

A specialist team of police officers is desperately hunting for a stolen memory stick that contains “vital and confidential” information — and have appealed for the public’s help.

The device was stolen from the car of an off-duty police officer in  Saddleworth, which is experiencing an unprecedented crime wave, almost a fortnight ago when an opportunist thief struck.

Head of Oldham CID Sgt Colin Olcars said, "It's vital we get it back." " It's not encoded and holds all the details of the officers brews at Oldham police station. Some of the lads are getting a bit desperate as they have not had a cuppa for almost two weeks."

As well as holding the recipes for making the tea and coffee, the stick also holds info on each officers preferences i. e. sugar-no sugar, how many?  Ginger or choccy biccy? Who is the Noddy and Big Ears Mug? Who is Porky the Pig? etc., etc. Every one of them is cross referenced in the 'mug-shot' file to make identification easier.
When asked what would happen if the stick was not found Sgt Olcars said, "I don't really know it's a very serious matter and we are very concerned.  I suppose we could all bring flasks.

EVENIN'ALL!

....AND THIS LITTLE PIGGY WENT ..... W££££! ...... All the way to Oldham!

Charley 'Turd' Parker

13th October 2008. That's the day he started 'work'.Chief Executive OMBC.  Has anyone noticed the acceleration into grim decay and despair since that fateful day? Every fucking thing he's touched since his arrival has turned to shit in his hands. He's cost us millions on umpteen ill-advised schemes. His advice on most things he has stuck his oar into has been detrimental to this town, e g Vance Miller. The man is incompetent. What qualifications does he have apart from a cosying up arrangement with English Partnerships? £213,000 per annum we are paying him. Is he willing to take a pay cut to help out in our time of need? Is he fucking hell and that's no! To the moronic single celled life-forms on our council he probably stands out as a fountain of all knowledge and a shining beacon to guide them through the murky ooze. To the rest of us he is a perpetually smiling snake-oil salesman, a con artist in the Blair mould. He rapidly padded out his empire shortly after his arrival with the appointment of several arse lickers and sacrificial lambs. He has achieved nothing in the nearly three years he has been sponging off us but he talks a good game. He sits in his (refurbished at our expense) office in the Tower of Babble collecting his overblown paycheck and adding thousands to his pension while the town goes to hell in a handcart and the citizens of this once proud town struggle along with less and less each passing year.
Do you remember the local headlines when he got the job?  'Best man for the job.' 'You have to pay top money if you want the best.' 'We are very lucky to get him.'  Lucky???  Fuck me, I'm glad we didn't get a fucking dead-leg! We would have been in the shit by now.

We need to get rid of the smarmy fucker ASAP otherwise there will be fuck all left of this town to ruin further. 

How did we come to choose the wanker? Ah! There's a tale. Little Jimmy Pudden Face conducted the interviews for the position. All good 'ole boys together eh? A little bit 'ere a little bit there! A lot of mutual backscratching. Did anyone hear of any other candidates for the job or was it another Lie-bour shoo-in?  Oh by the way these were the interviews where little Jimmy Pudden Face demanded another £600 in expenses on top of the £22,000 he was already getting plus his other job.  The Lie-bour con artists are drawn to other people's money aren't they?

SAY ....NO!! ....LET'S GET RID OF THE FUCKING PARASITES!

P S Speaking of the Vance Miller case - Has anyone heard how much it is going to cost us yet - or are the lawyers still sweating over their calculators?

IT'S EASY TO MAKE A MISTAKE ....It's all them fucking zeros doing me 'ead in!

Financial incompetence over funding for the Chadderton Wellbeing Centre has cost Oldham taxpayers £7 million.

Members of the Lie-bour 2007-08 cabinet  are to face a grilling by Oldham Council’s audit committee over this and other blunders that have seen yearly running costs for the £17 million centre costing eight times more than was first forecast. The committee has asked members to explain their decisions before it next meets on September 15.

But council leader Jim McMahon​ has hit out at Lib-Dem sniping over the affair saying “This is a sign of desperation.

NO! Jimmy Pudden face it's us the poor fucking tax-payers who are desperate!! Day after day, week after week, month after month we are shat on from ever greater heights by  the cocksuckers in the Tower! None of you could even run a twatting tap without fucking something up.  

The moon faced loon says, “The Liberal Democrats​ had three years to sort it and did nothing."  What the fuck could they do? YOU cost US an extra £7Million because you fucked up the capital funding.

You perceived annual running costs for the state-of-the-art centre in Wellington Street to be budgeted at £100,000 — but it was discovered that £811,000 a year was actually needed. That's eight times what was budgeted for, EIGHT TIMES, you fucking innumerate wanker.

If total build costs were £7Million over budget and running costs are eight times the projected figure how come the accounts balanced? Creative accounting?? Where did the extra come from? I thought we were skint! Where is the extra three-quarters of a Mil a year for running expenses coming from? We are supposedly looking for millions in cuts?


A report on the matter has now gone before the committee and this states that the council had not got “best value” and described lease costs as ‘excessive’. 
Financial and management controls on the project were described as either “inadequate” or “weak”, and there was a lack of open scrutiny.  Cabinet members had an uncritical attitude and floundered about with inadequate information available to them.

Liberal Dems were devastating the town when the centre opened in November, 2009, but the finances were calculated in April, 2007 and approved the following year, when Lie-bour waved everything through on the nod..

Lib-Dems say Lie-bour councillors McMahon, Hibbert, Stretton, Phil Harrison and McDonald — all back in the present cabinet — were party to the decision, which was taken in private three days before the 2008 local elections. Do you think that famous five understand anything about what happened? Of course not. they were all toeing the party line and were just obeying orders. Just look at the brain-power on display there and you will not be surprised at whatever they got up to.

Lib-Dem Councillor Thompson said: “Chadderton Wellbeing Centre is an excellent facility but the costs are staggering,  “It could have been built and run for very much less." So if you had known the true cost would you have continued the project?

The Labour twats chose the most expensive option in order to be able to sign the contracts by April 30, 2008 and score points over the opposition.

Cllr Jimmy Pudden Face said, "It wasn't me mister, it was some other big boys what done it."

He said: “I’ll turn up if only to find out what is in the review myself.”  We can tell you that Moon-face, £7Million more than the estimate, plus eight times the projected running costs per year.

An honest mistake he will probably claim. I say we should claim the overspend back off the knobheads who voted it through without due dilligence. It's our money! let's ask for it back!!
