WOLVERHAMPTON SECOND BEST CITY FOR FAMILIES IN ENGLAND AND WALES!!!!

Wolverhampton has been crowned the second best city for families in England and Wales! According to a new report, who done the report? I don't know but according to the propaganda printing, mind numbing, media of the West Midlands, the Express and Star, a report has placed Wolverhampton as second best city in England and Wales for families.

To most people in Britain and the world this report would not even raise eyebrow but I was shocked and amazed by that claim. Wolverhampton the second best city for families? I live in Wolverhampton with a family, Wolverhampton has high unemployment so at least you will get to spend time with the kids. Wolverhampton's schools are weak performing, Wolverhampton does have very, very highly rated schools like girls high school and the Royal school, but the majority of schools in the poorer areas are as usual not so highly rated, in fact some are ridiculously bad. 

When I look around most of Wolverhampton, I see high rise flats, poverty and run down buildings everywhere. And I am not the only person that thinks this as the Express and Star reported in 2009. 

From fifth worst city in the world to second best in England and Wales. But even the propaganda filled, boring Express and Star can not seriously  tell me Wolverhampton is the second best city for families in England and Wales, if it is the God help the worst. I click the link to read this ridiculous claim, I wanted to see who done this report. But Unfortunately the page has vanished from the Express and website, I search stories from just Wolverhampton and I can not find. It looks to me that the writers or an editor or someone with some sense at this so called newspaper read the story and said "second best city in England and Wales? The public will never believe it, we best get rid of that nonsense." 

I even searched the website looking for this story, I also Googled it and I could find NO other media local or national reporting it.

UPDATE EXPRESS AND STAR PUT THE ARTICLE BACK ON TO THEIR SILLY LITTLE WEBSITE!!!!

75 YEAR OLD MAN LOCKED UP FOR COMPLAINING ABOUT WOLVERHAMPTON CITY COUNCIL!

This is a re print as the original post was taken down, this blog was written in 2012.

Stan Long is a 75 year old man from Wolverhampton, he has recently been locked up for posting Youtube videos complaining about Wolverhampton city council, the biased full of bullshit and propaganda Express and Star claim Stan Long was ranting about Wolverhampton City council on the internet and that he had started a campaign of abuse at a local taxi  firm.  Representing himself Long admitted five offences of harassment or breach of a restraining order on conviction and another charge of committing an offence during the operational period of a suspended sentence. Long said: “You’re making me out to be the guilty party when I am the victim. They’re all crooks. I keep telling you it’s them who should be here not me.” So Britain is now the sort of country that arrests and prisons innocent pensioners that lived through World War 2 for merely speaking their opinion?

District Judge Mr Graham Wilkinson jailed Long for two months and ordered him to pay £85 in costs. He told Long: “I am aware that you are representing yourself and that no solicitor will dare represent you through fear they will become the next target. While you have been attending your meetings with probation you have used these sessions to continue your rants. Judge Mr Graham Wilkinson should be truly ashamed of himself!

Stan Long’s videos have got about 300 views on Youtube so far, Wolverhampton city council waste millions on a bus station that is still boarded up in parts, they drive around with CCTV on their cars spying on people, Wolverhampton has among the worst schools in England and they leave Wolverhampton looking like a absolute dump in places but we can not complain about it? SHAME ON WOLVERHAMPTON CITY COUNCIL,  they have just proven what sleazy scum bags they are,  THEY LOCK PENSIONERS UP FOR SPEAKING THEIR MINDS. AND SHAME ON THE CORRUPT EXPRESS AND STAR for the propaganda and BULLSHIT they print.

This is Stan Long's YOUTBE CHANNEL, though I believe the videos that got him in to trouble have gone!

HOW TO IRRITATE THE JOB CENTRE, RECORD YOUR INTERVIEWS.

The Job centre in Britain is notoriously useless at finding people work or long time employment (unless you want to work for benefits or minimum wage for a billion pound corporation that does not pay tax) in that case the job centre is the place to be, so when I went to the Job centre today I did not except much help, for if they were to help today it would be the first time in living memory that they have been any help.

I walk in the job centre and take a seat they are 9 minutes late calling me out, which I don't mind at all apart from the job centre regularly warn me to be five minutes early for their meetings, which I always are, they can waste our time but we cannot waste their time and if we do "we risk missing appointments and losing our benefits".

I take my seat and the interview begins, I tell the interviewer about the Department of work and pensions taking down my website with illegal cyber attacks, "how is that stopping you getting a job?" the interviewer asks, to which I tell the truth, I sell DVDs and ebooks using my website for advertising, and selling a small but growing amount, until the cyber attack finished my website off, I did get the website running after the attacks using a different server, but the website lost its places on the Google search engine, it lost at least 95% of its traffic making the website financially impossible to maintain. As I excepted he did not want to talk about that.

Later in the interview he tells me to apply for at least 10 jobs per week! I explain that I claim for 4 kids to find jobs that pay enough to support 4 kids is not easy, I also explain that I am pursuing tens of thousands that Lloyds TSB taken from our family business in 2006, plus tens of thousands more that my family were ripped off when they were taken ill and had to finish the business, again not to my surprise he is not interested. I tell him to find me 10 jobs on his computer for me to apply for, he does not want to do that, I tell him to do a BOC or a better of calculation so I have a idea about what jobs are worth applying for, he does not do that, instead he threatens me with community service and benefit sanctions, what are they going to do? make me and my family homeless and starve us death? and then they call people scum when they turn to crime, the government are the real scum here.

I ask him the question, do you work for people are the government? he answers "the government pay my wage" to which I reply "the taxpayer pays the government" the cheeky prick then says "you are not a tax payer" by now I am pretty fuming and I tell him the truth, when my family was in business we had between 30 and 90 skilled workers on our books, my family business that I worked for, for ten years have paid more tax in that ten years then he will pay in his whole life, If I claim benefits for the rest of my life I would not see the money that our business in taxes. Not to mention money that the bank illegally taken from our business accounts, our business and many businesses like us were bailing out banks years before the tax payer bailed them out.

He then announces (and I do not know how true it is as the job centre feel no way in lying and trying to scare people) that Wolverhampton is the first place in Britain to start making the unemployed do community service (with a new name) to receive their benefit.

Much to his anger I tell him that I have recorded the conversation, that's illegal he cries as their are CCTV all over the job centre, I will upload the full conversation to Youtube later and that is my advice, record your conversations with the job centre, they don't like it and it protects you when they lie threaten you with benefit sanctions.

   

EXPRESS AND STAR = GOVERNMENT PROPAGANDA.

The Express & Star is the biggest-selling regional evening newspaper in Great Britain. Founded in 1889, it is based in my hometown Wolverhampton, England, and it covers the West Midlands and Staffordshire, including the Black Country. The Express & Star is one of the few independent newspapers still operating in the UK, having been under the continuous ownership of the Graham family almost since its inception. It is owned by the Midland News Association (MNA), which also owns the Shropshire Star newspaper and many other newspapers in and around the West Midlands.

The Express and Star is a newspaper I can not stand to read, its full of propaganda like all mainstream media the Express and Star does a very good job in telling people what to think and a poor job of keeping people informed on local current events. In January 2012 the newspaper reported, Bailiffs recovered more than £30 million after councils sent them into homes and businesses in the West Midlands – visiting 100 people daily, it can be revealed, what the newspaper does not mention is the cruel intimidation tactics that these bailiffs use, where did they collect that money from? families, elderly people, and some of the poorest people in Great Britain.

Another example of the propaganda used by the Express and Star can be found on a Google search, if you search "benefit fraud Express and Star" Google shows 1,460,000 results, if you search "MPs expenses Express and Star" the Google search shows 124,000 results, over ten times as many reports on benefit fraud as on MPs expenses, despite the fact the cost of a case of benefit fraud could cost the tax payer hundreds a week and very rarely more than £10000 per year, where as the average cost of a single MP claiming tens of thousands per year for things like second homes, travelling costs, home maintenance, food, gardening and duck ponds on top of their £63000 per year salary is not reported as nowhere near as much .In 2007 - the last year for which figures are available - claims ranged from the lowest of £44,551 to the highest of £185,421. On average, each MP claimed £135,600.

Like all mainstream media the Express and Star also propagated the royal wedding, showing street celebrations and going on like the day and the royal family are important, I live in the West Midlands and most people I know did not and do not care one bit about the royal wedding, the royal baby or the royal family. I have not yet seen the Express and Star fight the NHS cuts and they report that Home Secretary Theresa May tells terrorists:You will not win, the wicked witch of Westminster wants our human rights, she uses terrorism as an excuse for this and the Express and Star propagate her agenda.

Surely the job of a local newspaper is to sometimes speak up for local people not to propagate government agendas and attack local people that are claiming benefits.

BEFORE SORTING OUT THE REST OF THE WORLD.

Great Britain and the USA insist that they must fight against oppressive governments in the Middle east and other parts of the world to protect our freedom, governments like Syria's Assad, North Korea's Kim Jong-il and Iran's Ali Khamenei are all judged as being oppressive, which they probably are. Yet USA and Great Britain support the oppression of Palestinian's by the Israeli government, they also support the oppressive Egyptian and Saudi Arabian governments.The British and American governments also judged the Gaddafi regime to be oppressive and violent, despite Libya having laws like free electricity, a mother who gives birth to a child receives U.S.$5,000, 40 loaves of bread in Libya costs $0.15 and a litre of petrol cost $0.14! All newlyweds in Libya receive $60,000 dinar (U.S.$50,000) by the government to buy their first apartment so to help start up the family and Libya no homeless people until the recent bombings!

If Barrack Obama and David Cameron judged the Gaddafi regime to be oppressive they must surely judge their own governments to be oppressive. I live in Wolverhampton (an absolute dump and in 2009 voted the 5th worst city in the world behind Wolverhampton was Detroit Michigan,  Accra Ghana,  Seoul South Korea, and  Los Angeles, USA) and speaking from experience I can honestly say it does not surprise me, Wolverhampton city is a run down, oppressed dump! The youth in Wolverhampton are unemployed or working for benefits, crime is high, food bank and the Job center are always busy, the schools are terrible and rated as among the worst schools in Britain, in Wolverhampton oppression starts at a young age. Whitmore reans, Low hill and Heath town are terrible places to look at and to be. What action could our local government take to help the people in improve their city and lifestyles? Where should they spend the money that people pay in taxes? Surely spending on building new homes in run down areas would be a good start, or invest it in to our weak performing schools. Our government and Wolverhampton Council have better ideas than that! They decide to spend thousands on cars with cameras all over them, they then pay someone to drive around spying on people that live in Wolverhampton, why didn't I think of that.

The point to this blog is before our governments go fighting oppressive governments around the world they should stop being an oppressive, hypocritical government themselves. If our governments was as desperate to fight oppression in their own countries as they are in the Middle east I believe we would all benefit greatly.    

The Bromsford living RIP OFF.

In December last year me and my family moved in to a Bromford living house, after private renting for 10 years, we moved because our old house was damp and on a busy road, and with the building trade nearly dead we could no longer afford the rent the landlord wanted. They handed us the keys in November but we were already contracted to our old place until December, "not a problem" a Bromford living adviser told us, "back date the housing benefit and they will cover you on two houses for the month you move", this turned out to be bad advice as back dating the housing benefit was not allowed, meaning we are in £450 debt before we even move in.

We was happy with the new house and we had no complaints about Bromford living at all, we agreed to pay back the £450 that the benefits would not cover, there were no problems at all, other than dodgy plumbing left before we moved in caused a leak, ruining a new carpet that we had just paid £200 for.

We kept up payments for a few months until the week my girlfriend was in hospital having a baby, that week we did not pay, we had not even got home when the phone rang, it someone from Bromford living chasing a £30 payment, they can hear the baby screaming in the back of the car, my girlfriend is to polite but they insist on talking right there and then, I snatch the phone from my girlfriend and say "Stop harassing us" and hang up.

Two days later we get a letter threatening extra charges of £150 or eviction if they do not receive the payment, and all this over £30! they still received their rent. They come around our house every 3 months ticking boxes and looking around, they give us a red warning if we residents are very naughty and they want us out, amber if we residents are sometimes naughty but sometimes good and a green if we are really good, what next? Well done stickers and naughty corners? For the record we are on amber due to the £450 arrears that was added before we moved in.

Since moving in to our Bromford living house we have had nothing but problems with them so many problems I made a list.

1. Poor plumbing done before we moved in caused a huge leak ruining a brand new floor.

2. Bromford living advisers do not want to talk about replacing the floor or paying us damages, instead they would rather talk about useless work programs.

3. Bad advice from a Bromford living representative lead to us being in debt before we even moved in.

4. They threaten court action and eviction because we owed the £30

5. They tell us to contact them but their 0330 costs ridiculous amounts to ring on my mobile phone, in fact one call to a "free" number (not Bromford) cost me £15 pound!

So I give Bromford a red warning, threatening to make families homeless over £30 shows the greed of Bromford living and other housing associations around the UK.

St. Judes school in WOLVERHAMPTON is a JOKE.

St Judes primary school in Wolverhampton is rated by Ofsted as among the worst schools in Wolverhampton, and Wolverhampton is rated as one of the worst areas for education in the whole of Britain, meaning St Judes is obviously a bad school, I think I know what the problem is with St Judes and many other schools in Britain.

My children attended this school for years and in the time they spent there I  heard MANY shocking complaints and stories from parents of the children that attended the school. My own children were checked over by teachers for cuts and bruises, after they discovered a rash on her arm, buts that's nothing, after discovering bruises on my child's friend, the delusional mental head mistress immediately contacted social services because kids never fall over, do they? you stupid lunatic, the head mistress of St Judes should concentrate on the schools poor performance in the national league tables before telling tales on parents.

Another parent I know of had her children taken off her for three months after bruises were discovered on his hip by the demon head mistress who again contacted social services, I hear the children are now back home after three months away from their family.

To be fair to the head mistress the school was in a state before she got there, they once sent me a letter out threatening to throw my children out the school because I told them we had booked a holiday that would mean the kids would have to have TWO days off school, what a terrible parent I must be.

At the end of this term the school arranged a trip for school leavers to the safari park, how kind of them, however the teachers use this trip as an excuse to blackmail children in to attending a fund raising carnival, the children were told if they do not attend the carnival they may not be allowed to go to the safari park or the prom! WHY ARE St JUDES SCHOOL HAVING PROMS FOR 11 YEAR OLDS ANYWAY? My other child was told that a school trip to Wales was compulsory! but they still wanted money for it, unfortunately for them they did not get it.

The dinners at the school are expensive, unhealthy,disgusting and according to my children and my children's friends "sometimes full of hair"

At home time the school have police and traffic wardens all over the place, cashing in on the terrible parking arrangements at the school.

My advice is AVOID ST JUDES AT ALL COST.
