Recently , the residents of Stafford received a bit of a shock when they realized that their amiable , beloved mayor was actually — not . As it turns out , their heartfelt drawing card was just some dude witha faux Twitter accountand a fancy - depend mayoral chain . God bless the net .
come upon byThe Daily Mail , James Billington , the faux - city manager of Stafford , has been twitch his heart out to his dear constituent since March 8 . His social media comportment alone fetch him bid to ribbon cut , memory opening , baby kissings — the man did it all . It ’s just too spoilt none of it was actually his job .

Sharing a encounter with the Mayor of Shrewsbury today . Never liked him . Reminds me of one of the uncollectible guy from Superman 2 .

Some may contend that Billington oversold his role just a bit . But as any method acting actors know , to truly become the part , there can be no limitation . And if that does n’t work , buttons .
Looking forward to giving out these badges to the great people of#Staffordover the next few weeks!pic.twitter.com / vPfoeeLbx7
Billington , cite by The Daily Mail as being in his 30s in all likelihood , has absolutely “ no affiliation with Stafford Borough Council whatsoever . ” So it ’s understandable that , when the Mayor of Shrewsbury plain to the council about being compared to a Superman villain by a man he ’d never met , the literal mayor was less than proud of with her fake counterpart ’s antics .
Labour council member Angela Loughran , the real mayor , has apparentlyheld her purely ceremonial role for the past 10 month . Considering , then , that the Stafford mayorship does n’t total with any real power , it ’s a little more understandable that an total town might start believing that the man cheering them on is who he claim .
A spokesman from Stafford Bourough Council confirmed the situation to theThe Daily Mail :
As far as internet put-on go , though , this is one of the most benign , mavin , and utterly delicious ones we ’ve seen in a while . For a few treasured workweek , a town got a petty more support , and one man get to be their king . Everyone win . Well — everyone except the actual mayor and , plain , the first noblewoman in fraud .
Mayors wife has very bad hangover after#StPatricksDaydrinking ! She was last take heed yell ' wazzzzzzzzzzup ' at 3 am ! She ’s not even Irish !
