Trumped-up charges by the loony left so they could repeatedly call him a convicted felon hoping no one would vote for him. But it backfired spectacularly, lol.

Nothing will be done until the TV cameras will be down on the lawn, then Wrigley and all the council cronies will be down there with shovels in hand then bugger off when the cameras leave and do nothing more about it as usual.

Life seemed simpler. Not always easy but that applies ...
