Mayor of Sheffield Magid Magid bans Trump from visiting, calls him a 'wasteman'

Mikebison · Jul 4, 2018

Magid is the 122nd mayor of Sheffield and came to the UK at 5 from Somalia.

This guy is a boss.

For the Americans amongst us, wasteman is a British insult, means dickhead basically.

Love Sheffield, it has one of the most underrated music scenes in the UK.

ldcommando · Jul 4, 2018

Now he is definitely going to show up.

You're not wrong. Some of my favourite bands from the Myspace days were from Steel city.

Can someone forward this to Sadiq Khan?

What a legend.

For anybody not in the UK, this dude really is the Mayor of Sheffield. Absolute boss, and a Green as well.

Again. Legend

The brits really do have the best insults.

Broken Joystick · Jul 4, 2018

I'm sure Trump is devastated.

In Sheffield, we managed to get a few thousand together for an impromptu protest against him and his Muslim ban on the night if the first attempt he made at it with half a days notice, as to whether the UK should have anything to do with such a leader (as did several other large cities in the UK).

He would not be welcome here, and the good people of Sheffield would definitely let him know it.

A black man just insulted him. He's probably fuming.

SolarPowered · Jul 4, 2018

ay, caramba

I don't know what I expected when I read the OP, but knowing nothing about Sheffield I can say that I'm thoroughly and hilariously surprised.

Yep and despite the humour, the guy has refreshing and strong opinions about important issues.

I wonder if Ali G would be saying wasteman.

As a mod, could you please add 'calls him a wasteman' to the title please. Feel like I should have made that clearer.

StrawberryJam · Jul 4, 2018

Today is the first day I've heard of this guy and he is a fucking legend

This probably won't even register on his or his team's radar.

Volimar · Jul 4, 2018

Is that necklace like a badge of office or is that just something he wears?

It's a traditional mayors necklace thing. Belongs to the city most likely.

F34R · Jul 4, 2018

The only thing good from Sheffield for me is a friend of mine lives there, my custom Lego Minifigs, and when John Harkes played for Sheffield Wednesday lol.

I think it's the chain of office.

Trump is the least interesting thing about this man and his tweet.

On what grounds? Trump has ducked every city that has shown any animosity towards him. He's a coward when having to actually face people who don't like him.

You really underestimate how thin-skinned Trump is.

Aiii · Jul 4, 2018

Trump will tweet that Sheffield is the worst town for whatever made up reason he normally uses. And then proceed to say he would have never wanted to go to Sheffield anyways.

That mayor is a boss though, wish my country started having elected mayors, this is the best.

deli · Jul 4, 2018

It's pretty weird that a guy I met in the audience of random comedy show with like 20 atendees now has his own Era thread.

NihonTiger · Jul 4, 2018

The photo in the OP is his official mayoral photo.

Yes.

The position is mostly ceremonial (Magid is on Sheffield council and was voted Lord Mayor by his fellow council members) but he's undertaken the task of trying to remove a lot of the archaicness that comes with the position.

Heh, obviously you do if you care enough to come in to whine about it.

Merc_ · Jul 4, 2018

I wonder how many countries will ban Trump from entering once his presidency is over?

I actually wouldn't be surprised if he came up with a depreciative nickname for Sheffield by tomorrow morning.

Tfw you can't Asian squat because you're not flexible enough.

Like how California the worst state, and a third-world country inside the US, when the worst thing about it is how expensive it is to live here. And it's expensive to live here because too many people with too much money want to.

Someone get Bugzy on the phone, I think we have a new collab here.

If he can't build one of his shitty properties there then he won't truly care.

I look forward to waking up tomorrow and being quoted multiple times with "told you so", as we descend further into this hellscape.

KillLaCam · Jul 4, 2018

Lmfao never thought I'd see the word wasteman in a situation like this.

GrizzleBoy · Jul 4, 2018

The endless mountains of salt in the comments....jeez.

Napoleonthechimp · Jul 4, 2018

Holy shit. I had no idea they made a guy like that mayor. It's a completely pointless position, but still...

Triggerhappytel · Jul 4, 2018

I don't know this guy but I like him already. I should make the effort to visit Sheffield.

Dali · Jul 4, 2018

I think "bell end", while still an English insult, is more recognized and thus more insulting. Remember this next time when using colloquial insults, kids.

RustyNails · Jul 4, 2018

Alright this is the best thing I've read in 2018.

He'll call it a failing city that he wouldn't want to visit anyway.

...Isn't he incredibly proud of Sheffield and its his favorite place in the world?

Messofanego · Jul 4, 2018

Now I want Sadiq Khan to call Trump either a nutter, twat, prick, wanker, pillock, tosser, plonker, bell end, or knobhead.
