From Market Town to Migrant Dump: The Great Oswestry Betrayal

Welcome to Oswestry, once a proud market town — now the showroom floor for Britain’s finest scams, deceptively registered developers, and councillors so neutral they could be used in a pH test. This isn’t satire. It’s Shropshire Council and Oswestry Town Council in action — or more accurately, inaction. And like all modern policy disasters, this one’s wrapped in Lib Dem yellow, soaked in public money, and signed off with a shrug.

🧩 Act I: From Crash-For-Cash to Cash-for-Councils

Let’s begin with one Kamlesh Vadukul — convicted fraudster, ringleader of a £320,000 crash-for-cash ring, and now the proud name behind KAMZ Telecom Ltd, conveniently registered at 55 Beatrice Street, Oswestry. That’s right — a man with a CV longer than a CPS casefile and ethics looser than a pothole contract. And let’s not forget the cannabis farm found upstairs.

And what did Shropshire Council do when this beacon of financial dishonesty plonked a shell company in town? Rolled out the red carpet, of course. Because due diligence is so last century — and besides, there’s a Diversity Champion to appoint this quarter.

🏗️ Act II: The Property Developers from Nowhere — and Tenants from God Knows Where

Enter stage left: the Sidhu-Panchal-Sahota Syndicate — also known as Everest Homes Ltd, YPV 1 & 2 Ltd, SSP Properties, or any other acronym dreamed up on a Milton Keynes motorway.

These are not your typical landlords. These are corporate contortionists with more Companies House entries than brain cells at a Town Council meeting.

Their method is simple:

• Create dozens of companies.
• Recycle directors and addresses like takeaway containers.
• Layer in floating charges like an onion of debt.
• Apply for HMOs.
• Use the buildings to house asylum seekers.
• Invoice the taxpayer.
• Disappear faster than a FOI response from The Guildhall.

🏚️ Act III: The Trojan House at Cross Street

Planning application for 23 Cross Street? That’s not a house — that’s the canary in the coal mine. Six rooms, zero en-suites, no clarity about who’s moving in. Submitted by “Jassy Sidhu” (also known as Bhupinderjit Sidhu — one-third of the SSP triangle and future owner of the Smithfield Hotel).

Local concerns were raised. And what did the Council focus on? Bins. And parking. Presumably because public safety and tenant suitability are just “microaggressions” in the Lib Dem lexicon.

Tenants? First off the boat at Dover.

🏨 Act IV: The Smithfield Hotel — A Shropshire B&B, Brought to You by Home Office Contracts and Moral Bankruptcy

And when 32 strangers arrive overnight under “emergency exemption rules,” the Council will blink twice and issue a press release calling it ‘a housing milestone.’

🧱 Act V: Housing Justice, Lib Dem Style

This entire circus in Shropshire is held together by one thing: Liberal Democrat immigration and housing policy.

Their grand vision?

• Open borders ✅
• Close public consultation ❌
• Fill former hotels with imported tenants ✅
• Leave locals scrambling for rentals ❌
• Declare it a success at conference ✅

Housing justice, they call it. Social cleansing, we call it. Because ask yourself this: Who benefits?

Not Oswestry.

Not the locals.

Not the community groups, nor the small landlords.

The real winners? Walsall-based developers with 40+ mortgaged properties and a fleet of shell companies named like rejected Bond villains.

📉 Act VI: Councils on Zoom, Officers on Vinted

Planning officers, when not rejecting FOIs or “working from home,” are allegedly moonlighting on Vinted. One boasts openly about it. And if the idea of your town’s planning policy being drafted between eBay sales and sofa selfies doesn’t terrify you, you may already be a councillor.

Meanwhile, Oswestry Town Council’s new logo should probably feature a white flag. “Neutral,” they say. “Not material,” they add. “Absolutely bloody useless,” we reply.

📺 Act VII: The Media — Deaf, Dumb, and De-funded

Where is the Border Counties Advertizer? Missing in action.

Where is the Shropshire Star? Filing from the pub — or possibly a dog show.

And the BBC? aka Radio Shropshire
Ah yes, our impartial national broadcaster, paid for by pensioners under threat of prosecution. Surely they’re on the ground in Oswestry, investigating how a convicted fraudster’s front company became a central node in a Lib Dem housing fantasy?

Not quite.

The BBC is at Glastonbury, face-painted and flag-waving, acting out their Palestinian Action love-in like a university drama society that’s just discovered hashtags. Meanwhile, Oswestry is quietly being asset-stripped and parcelled off to developers who’ve never visited the town without a mortgage broker in tow.

Because real journalism doesn’t get you retweets. But performative activism in a bucket hat? That’s prime-time.

📊 The Oswestry Scoreboard (2022–2025)

• HMO Applications? Dozens — and counting.
• Asylum properties? Leaping.
• Local representation? Shrinking.
• Council accountability? Evaporated.
• Residents? Furious.
• Councillors? Puzzled.

Developers? Laughing all the way to the bank.

🧾 Finale: Oswestry — One HMO at a Time

This isn’t regeneration.

It’s deregulated colonisation — aided and abetted by absent-minded councils, amoral developers, and a Lib Dem doctrine so toxic it ought to carry a biohazard label.

So lock your doors, your mortgages, and your daughters — because if you think this is bad, wait until they rebrand the Smithfield Hotel as “Liberty House: Inclusive Living for Transient Guests.”

And when it all collapses?

Don’t worry.

Your Council’s got a new engagement officer and a heartfelt statement of solidarity ready to go.
