A maverick mayor elected after promising to slash council spending, clear the streets of yobs and ditch politically correct services is the torch-bearer for how towns should be run.

I suspect you are right. However, I also believe he would not want a meteoric rise, which is, of course, why he should get one.

Useless paper shufflers that live off the work and savings of taxpayers stick together. Why someday someone might question Britains own Pravada, the BBC, and all their over staffing, high salaries, fat pensions, easy conditions.

Which is why we MUST be vigilant and make sure the Second Amendment to the Constitution remains intact.

It is our only hope while leftists try to destroy our Country.

The Homeland Oppression Agency told him to free twenty-five illegals from his jail. He said, “I don’t work for the Federal Government. I work for the people who elected me”.
