Oh dear, that didn't go well however biased the presenter was and how weighted the questions were.
I would have thought the rival representatives could have seen the alleged errors in his manifesto and capitalised on them.

I'd have voted for him. He's quite right in his ideals IMO!

That presenter is a grade one cxxk!

Wage cut - First on agenda is he cuts his
Sacking - Diversity Officers, controlling thought processes officers
Cut translation services - is illegal so he can't. He will let people know who is standing in the way.
Cut number of councillors - He can't do it.
Gay Marches - Council funding stopped, if making money from it why stop.

He is removing 9 towns that he is twinned with, getting rid of civic mayor car IE his. Getting rid of Doncaster News.

It also compares him to a picture of Boris Johnson, with donkey noises over the top.

It's a scummy DJ from Sheff, expect nothing more than that.

I feel drained.

Toby Foster is a first class grade A prick. Not even going to click on the link if that tt is on there.
He makes Moyles look like a comedy genious.

If half of what he is claiming is true, he's no bigger prick than the clueless mayor

The mayor is in a very difficult position, having stated policy whilst not expecting to win.

If I were in his position, I would have declared my intention to invade France. Come a successful election, how the hell do you get out of that?

Indeed. It might surprise you to know he fell into this presenting job by accident.

Before that, he was a stand up comic...

HO HO HO....rolleyes

Hopefully the new guy will be able to figure out that he can probably drastically reduce (rather than eliminate) some translation services.

He may struggle to cut the headcount on the council (turkeys don't vote for Christmas), but good luck to him for trying to simplify what seems to have become a bloated, overcomplicated way of wasting taxpayers money.

hehe

It's a shame he's fallen into the trap that so many of our other elected representatives, telling people what they want to hear and then working out how they will do it afterwards. And failing.
