- and a section 114 issued effectively declaring the city bankrupt. Absurd! Maybe it explains why travelling through Birmingham New Street has been such a misery over the last year!

I always wonder if these councils, like the NHS, have way to much management, being paid huge salaries Professor Wilson? To get into that sort of debt is without doubt serious mismanagement mismanagement.
The public sector is impossible to reform because the unions prevent mass terminations.
The three most profitable airports in Britain, Birmingham, Nottingham and Luton, are owned by local councils. The sad thing here is that Birmingham Airport will probably be sold for a song to pay off the city debt
This gross mismanagement occurs because organisations like this do not have true accountability!
They thrive in the murky swamp of self-regulation and cover their tracks with bogus accountability which they know will keep the Government happy!
The senior management of all such organisations have to be made legally accountable for what they do and don’t do whilst in office.
For me the only answer is that the Police, acting completely independently, should be given the powers to monitor and audit the activities of all such organisations on a regular basis.
Misconduct in public office (“MiPO”) has to be rooted out and not allowed to continue!
Everything the tories touch turns to shit
Even the rivers!
There are at least 22 councils that are facing bankruptcy Prof. But, ah, the bureaucracy is at fault. No, the real fault lies in the Tories cutting up to 45% of their central grant. When libraries and swimming pools close. Is that the bureaucracy at fault. Of course not. If I only pay you half of what you were being paid ten years ago, is that your fault. Course not.
What we need is management ....
But its a Labour council? How is it possible that Labour can make a mistake, they 'mean well' don't they?
Could it be continued lack of support from Westminster?
@@normanchristie4524 Other councils are doing okay without having their hands held. Is the labour party so weak it needs help from the Tories? Or more realistically - they're incompetent.
@@qetoun but they are not. This has been the tip of the iceberg for some time. It matters not whether the councils are Tory or Labour
@@ausbrum Worthless deflection. Labour ran out of other people's money, that's all.
The equal pay problem is it due to Labour or Tories ?
I thought that many 'institutions' (councils, NHS, MoD, Westminster, 'et-al') main issue(s) / priorities, was paying their staff, management and contractors, (first and foremost,) rather than providing the service(s) which they are 'in-place' to do! ... 🤔😡
Of course, it's got nothing to do with your friendly Tory's cutting council budgets
Unfortunately both political groups are culpable - one agreed the illegal deal with the unions and the other, having inherited it, simply ran with it.
You’re not wrong 🤬
Ah yes Oracle. Owned (66%) by Larry Ellison a 79yr old US billionaire and libertarian conservative. Major donor to a number of US Republican pols. He has been courting the Tories for years - as has Peter Thiel. Seeking access to UK data.
Why is setting up a computer service, in the public sector, so costly and generally leads to failure of that system? It has now happened so often that you start to think is corruption involved in giving out the contracts. Has anyone ever thought that the tendering system could be at fault. Choosing the cheapest option, which generally ends up not the cheapest options given the costs always go beyond the tender price. Logically we should be looking for I.T. companies with a good success rate
I love your hat Professor
You aught to see the computer system they have running Shenzhen. It was provided by Huawei and it looks after the whole city. They don't have these IT failures because their code is very good. Such a system is there to reduce human error and to save money in optimising the resources available and saving on employing staff to do jobs better done by computer. They have this concept called a smart city in China. It's like something out of a sci-fi film, as in years ahead of our shoddy systems. Of course we banned Huawei by order of the US so that we would rely on US software. US software is not the cheapest and best software now. They now operate a protection racket. You deal with the Mafia, you get burnt.
The fact these councils are being run effectively as corporations and must declare bankruptcy is appalling- councils are essential national infrastructure and they're run as businesses? Sure there has to be economic responsibility when spending taxpayer money, but this is something that has to change on a national level.
Bankruptcy is seen as a natural part of the business cycle. Essential services do not fit into that model.
mismanagement but also some of the harshest cuts in any area from central government, no money to maintain what's there never mind update
I have to use the benefits system because of long-term disabilities. The automated systems are so hard to use, and I have multiple degrees.
They are just good with blaming and hope they means someone will sacrifice themselves in order to save them.
This is entirely down to tories cutting funds and then siphoning off our money via over priced contracts to tory donors, and I'll lay money on oracle being one. Just like they do in the NHS. These NHS trusts, who's on the boards? A tory who owns a healthcare company. And who gets the contracts? That tory. Not only that the tories actually force the trusts to spend on tory private healthcare company's. This is well known.
Tim has it crossed your mind that sending bucket loadsa money to Ukraine would leave us in the financial mess we now live in.
We haven't sent bucketloads of cash to Ukraine. What we have done is send them bucketloads of weapons that we produced here. Creating jobs and wealth here. Wealth that is spent in UK shops. Shops which employ people. People, some of whom believe Russian propaganda on the interwebs.
The cost to us giving Pootin half of Europe would be catastophic.
Tim don’t be a fool!! Birmingham’s bankruptcy is NOT due to a faulty IT system….. Birmingham is now a minority English city….. It’s full of diverse peoples who live in isolation from each other; dislike each other; have introduced a massive cash black-economy, reducing the council revenues; signed up to the Union/ Council’s equal pay scam litigation, where dissimilar jobs were classified equal!
We can look forward to more Birminghams as our society fragments!
1. 57.9% of the population of Birmingham are white....tht is a MAJORITY...now take your nasty little racist backside elsewhere
The council has frittered away £100 million on just _one_ IT system. That has nothing at all to do with "diversity" or people with brown faces on Birmingham's streets.
Birmingham should be left to sort out its own problems as it has ceased to be English or even European it is an Asian and African colony that functions like the third world and is obsessed with Diversity Inclusion Equality appointments and agendas. Good governance and meritocracy are a distant memory.
Clear off racist 57.9% White
We need people of the UK in business and strategy to have a plan full the future of United Kingdom these People must must be made up all of honest hard-working the same as yourself I must not include right-wing left-wing money-grubbing millionaires there is plenty of people who would get the time
Problem is that is a free for all for corruption because the mafia that runs the uk is safe in whitehall.
This is the same Oracle or Larry Ellison who founded and is chairman of oracle. That's partly funding Tony Blair institute. Which is advocating for more use of IT and AI in central governments. I won't be surprised if these "contracts" in a labour government will be given to them without any competition... It's a disaster waiting to happen.
Maybe we should use a computer to connect the dots in this network between politicians and businesses. Yes, the capitalists will be providing gifts to Labour politicians before and after the election and the people will be paying the price.
Oh dear Tim....I fear you are having a very bad time with this. 1. Being landed with £1Bn equal pay bill is the main cause. I was working for BCC when the claim got started..it should never have succeeded, the responsibility levels where hugely different. 2. New Street Station is not owned by BCC and never has been it's owned by Network Rail, the Bull Ring centre above it is owned and run by Hammerson & The Canada Pension Plan Investment Board (CPPIB)....your are very far off the mark with this. Sorry but if this was an essay from one of students it would have to be an F
Most councils are broke....and working from home...
😁😷👍🍯
