Funny thought of the day

Just seen Bernard Lea the Lord Mayor welcoming Gypsies on Salford On Line,when i was on the council he could not move them fast enough from Pendlebury

Can you make words up for our new Salford Mayor?

Yes folks our mayor makes his own words up, strange sounds a bit barking to me. But he does wear a Labour rosette and IS supported by a major union that you pay in to. Two month in and the best we have is he thinks our councillors should talk to the people on twitter,open local Government? My arse!!  So a little challenge can you do a Stewart and make up your own words?
