Magid Magid gave his interview to Sky News during a photo-shoot which was deliberately designed to show his 'man of the people' credentials. However the clothes he wore during that photo-shoot were far from 'scruffy':

This photograph of him, taken after his inauguration as Lord Mayor, is one of the best portrait photographs I've ever seen (worthy of a place in the National Portrait Gallery's photographic section). It might not be 'traditional' but it's a superb, and wholly appropriate, portrait:

I lived in Sheffield for 20 years and attended several Lord Mayor's Receptions. If I was still living there now (and retaining the connections that got me invited to those free nosh-ups), I would be honoured to meet Magid Magid and I welcome the appointment of a black Muslim to the role of Sheffield's second-highest dignitary. (In Sheffield the most senior local dignitary isn't the Lord Mayor; it's the Master Cutler).
[BTW, Theland: If you continue to post things like "Even though he is a Muslim and might not know better . . . " you could well find yourself in the sin bin again].
