George Tyndale: I support Bob Warman for Mayor!

Apr 3 2011 by George Tyndale, Sunday Mercury

EVERGREEN Central Television autocue reader Bob Warman has thrown his hat into the ring in the battle to be Birmingham’s first elected mayor.

Warman, famous for his cheeky wink and an ability to stay awake during reports on dancing fleas, has been approached about running for office by some “influential people.”

The Peter Pan of regional broadcasting, now a sprightly 64 years old, will have his work cut out if he is to ignite a lacklustre drive to create the powerful post of a US-style mayor.

At present, there are only two other contenders – a ex-MP of leftie persuasions and a retired copper who goes under the guise of John Bull.

If Brum does get an elected mayor (and there will need to be a referendum first), Stormin’ Warman will be 66 by the time the city goes to the polls.

It could be just what we need. There are too many smart-a***ed kids in politics these days.
