Liverpool City Council voted this evening to create the post of elected Mayor, and the residents will be voting for this in May. This is good news and a springboard to get this city progressing and growing. I hope Joe Anderson gets elected as he has shown he has the vision and capability to get the job done. But you never know perhaps someone else from the world of business will throw their hat into the ring.
I've read that Herbert the hairdresser is to stand too, well I remember Herbert from my early years on the gay scene in the city in the early 80s and he's a lovely guy, a great Liverpudlian and an ambassador that shows the world that we are loud and proud, but please Herbert, think again and leave this job for a serious politician or businessman/woman. There's plenty for you and everyone else to do to drive our city forward, but not this job.
I always love pointing out to visitors the big gold doors in St George's Hall with their inscription "SPQL" "Senatus PopulusQue Liverpool" - our new Mayor should adopt that as his/her motto, a big bold statement for a big bold city!
