The fake mayor

mayor

A prankster has fooled a town's residents into believing he is their mayor after setting up a spoof Twitter account.

Prankster James Billington has managed to trick locals, politicians and businesses into thinking he is the real Mayor of Stafford.
He has uploaded pictures to his Twitter account @mayorofstafford of himself wearing a mayoral chain and even cutting the ribbon at an 'opening' at Alton Towers Theme Park.
The joker, believed to be in his 30s, has also been cheering on competitors in a half marathon and congratulating elderly residents on their birthday whilst wearing his livery collar.
On his bio he states: 'I'm James Billington, the current Mayor of Stafford. Delighted to be representing the town of Stafford & surrounding areas. Views are my own.'
James - who has no affiliation with Stafford Borough Council whatsoever- has even made his own badges which proudly state: 'I'm The Mayor Of Stafford'.
