A row has broken out at Belfast City Council after a DUP councillor put on a Linfield football scarf.

Sinn Féin objected after the DUP's Ruth Patterson put on the scarf while speaking on a motion calling on the council to honour outgoing Linfield manager David Jeffrey.

Sinn Féin councillor Jim McVeigh said their objection was not to the motion, but to the wearing of the scarf.

The issue has been sent for discussion to a council committee.

The monthly meeting of the council on Monday was held up for more than 10 minutes as a result of complaints from Mr McVeigh.

The deputy lord mayor Christopher Stalford, who was chairing the meeting at the time, dismissed the complaints and told him: "Sit down and stop acting like a petulant child".

Mr McVeigh rejected the comment.

He asked for clarification from council officials on whether or not a Linfield scarf should be allowed to be worn by members at an official council meeting.

Alderman Stalford refused to consult officials and moved on.

The decision on whether or not to honour record-breaking David Jeffrey, who is standing down as Linfield manager at the end of the season, was sent for discussion to a council committee.

In spite of the row over the scarf, it seems likely to win widespread support on the council.

It is difficult to decide which side is more pathetic.

Agreed. if you saw it on something like Have I Got News For You in somewhere like Moldova you wouldn't believe it. It was on the news today that they didn't even get the guys name right. David Jeffries?? 

It would be funny if it wasn't for the fact that people vote for these clowns.

A woman's body that was degrading in the back of a car for over half a decade has been found lying in a garage in the US neighbourhood of Pontiac, Michigan.


As her bills were paid by direct debit, her mail sent to the post office, and her grass regularly cut by a neighbour for six years, the woman's remains were only discovered in the Jeep Liberty after her bank account ran out of funds and someone was sent to check why mortgage payments had stopped.



The woman has not yet been formally identified but is believed to be 49-year-old Pia Davida Farrenkopf, the last owner of the house.



She was found clothed in a heavy jacket and jeans, which led investigators to suspect that she died in the winter, according to the Detroit Free Press.



The key was in the ignition, but switched to the off mode, according to Undersheriff Mike McCabe.



The death is being treated as a homicide at this time, and police say suicide by carbon monoxide is the likely cause.



Medical examiners hopes to find dental records to formally identify the corpse.



It is thought that the woman stopped working as a contractor in the financial department of the Chrysler car firm in 2008, when set up direct debit payments from her bank which at one time contained $54,000.



"It is kind of the perfect storm for a mysterious set of circumstance and a challenge because of the extreme degradation of the body," said Oakland County Sheriff Michael Bouchard.



"The last withdrawal from her account was in March 2013," he added.



Edward Caroll, who married Farrenkopf's late mother three years ago, told local broadcaster WXYZ that Ms Farrenkopf was estranged from her family and did not answer her invitation to the wedding.



"I tried to find her through the Internet and everything and I never could find her.  And I wrote a letter a couple times and I think some of them came back. Her mother hadn't heard from her for years and years," he said.



Neighbours said the woman had family in Germany and would be gone for days or weeks at a time. When she was back home, she kept to herself, WXYZ reported.



"Nobody came over there to check on the lady. It's weird. And it's actually scary," a neighbour who wished to remain anonymous told the local TV station.

Brilliant! That would be a brilliant plot for a comedy if anyone could have the imagination to dream it up.

Penis cut off in attack in Middlesbrough The man was found at the side of the A66 in the early hours
A man has been found by the side of a road with his penis cut off.

The 40-year-old, from the South Bank area of Teesside, was discovered on the A66 in the early hours "in a distressed state" with wounds to his groin after the attack.

The road, from Greystones Roundabout to Church Lane in Middlesbrough, was shut earlier while searches of the area were carried out. It has now reopened.

A 22-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of assault and later bailed.

Cleveland Police said the injured man had been placed in an induced coma in hospital.

The force said in a statement: "Police can confirm that the man found this morning on the A66 had wounds to his groin area.

"Officers are continuing to investigate and are appealing for anyone with information to contact them."

Stun gun used by Derry man 'for back pain'A barrister has told a court his client used a high-powered stun gun on himself to try to alleviate chronic back pains he has suffered for years.

Hugh Brolly, 56, from Old City Court in the Brandywell area of Londonderry, appeared at the city's magistrates court on Wednesday.

He pleaded guilty to possessing the stun gun, contrary to the 2004 firearms act.

Brolly was stopped at a police checkpoint on 19 July 2013.

Inside his car, police found a box that contained a K95 stun gun.

He was arrested and during a police interview admitted possessing the weapon.



His lawyer said Brolly did "not have a propensity for violent conduct nor had he been engaged in any illegal activity in relation to the stun gun".

"On the face of it his explanation may seem bizarre to say the least," he said.

"However it transpired that he has had significant back problems for a number of years.

"Through research he learnt that the injection or generation of an electrical pulse into his ceased back muscles created an alleviation of the pain.
"While it does sound bizarre, he has used this device as an unorthodox method of pain relief for his ongoing and significant back problems."

Judge Barney McElholm said that the K95 stun gun was, according to a forensic report, a high-powered weapon that discharged between 12,000 and 18,000 volts.

He said that while muscle spasms could be treated by the use of muscle activators, it was not advisable to use a stun gun for that purpose.

He imposed a fine of £750 and ordered the destruction of the stun gun.

Brolly, who has 18 previous convictions and receives £1,100 in benefits per month, was given six months to pay the fine.
