The Lord Mayor of Sheffield, Magid Magid, doesnt fit the stuffy stereotypes that often go with the office. Hes young, Muslim, represents the Green Party, wears zappy ties, Doc Martins and slogan tee-shirts, and he doesnt mince words when it comes to Donald Trump.
On Americas Independence Day, the 4th of July, he tweeted out a photo of himself wearing a sombrero and a tee-shirt bearing the slogan “Donald Trump is a wasteman” and including a message directly addressing the man himself.
I Magid Magid, Lord Mayor & first citizen of this city hereby declare that not only is Donald J Trump (@realDonaldTrump) a WASTEMAN, but he is also henceforth banned from the great city of Sheffield!
I further declare July 13th to be Mexico Solidarity Day!

As if it werent amazing enough to call Trump a wasteman and ban him from Sheffield, he followed up with these lists:
5 Reasons (of thousands) Why Donald Trump is a WASTEMAN
1. For issuing his ridiculous, racist Muslim ban
2. For stupidly withdrawing from the Paris Climate Agreement
3. For mindlessly moving the US Embassy to Jerusalem
4. For enforcing the imprisonment of children at borders
5. For defending the violence and actions of white supremacists
5 Things we can do to beat Donald Trump
1. Join the anti-Trump demonstrations or set them up wherever you are
2. Join or donate to organisations combating Trump and his policies
3. Check on people who you know may be targets of rising hate crimes
4. Show solidarity with institutes, from mosques to parenthood clinics, that suffer most from Trumps politics
5. Lobby your government representatives to take a vocal stand against Trump
Some people werent happy.
Firstly, you don't have the power to ban him and secondly I doubt he would want to visit Sheffield anyway
