Impersonation : A Man claims to be Mayor fooled the Whole Stafford Town

Heard on the grapevine that someone is going around impersonating Mayor

#Notonmywatch’.

@Mayorofstafford.

That was the snarky tweet posted by a man in Stafford who pretended to be Mayor of an English Town.

Clearly now, the Man, who identifies himself as James Billington on his twitter profile, is having a laugh playing mayor.

James describes himself as “the current Mayor of Stafford”. Delighted to be representing the town of Stafford and the environs.

He is been tweeting since March 8 this year and posting tweets such as “Currently stuck in traffic”. Again, I think a #mayorlane might be a good decision to the roads of #stafford”.

Many living in stafford were convinced he was indeed their Mayor until the Stafford Borough Council caught wind of the prank and asked twitter to shut down the account as the Daily Mail reports, But James’s account is still very much active.

And for the record, the real Mayor of Stafford is Angela Loughran. She held the role – which is largely ceremonial – for 10months now.
