SIR ALEX FERGUSON RIP (NOT!)

Proud man. Great manager. Staunch Labour Party supporter. Sir Alex Ferguson will never be forgotten.

The responses from other tweeters have been

He's not dead, Ed “@ed_miliband: Proud man. Great manager. Staunch Labour Party supporter. Sir Alex Ferguson will never be forgotten.”
