Sinn Fein? They have gone away, you know.

[SHEEDY]

cant believe he's done that on purpose if he has he's pretty stupid and as to go.

[Aaron Boone]

He would have been posting for his usual audience, a bit of craic. But the web can be unforgiving.

[yellowcard]

He embarrassed all nationalists/republicans with his idiotic video. Let's not be hypocrites, if this was Poots, Wilson or Campbell we'd be rightly up in arms. The sensible decision in the interest of the party would be for him to step aside. Will he? Probably not.

Poots, Wilson or Campbell wouldn't apologise tho.

[Orchard park]

He needs to be removed for sheer stupidity.

What a ducking dick when It if was a pat the baker loaf f I have the same reaction. A 3 year old wouldn't think it funny and if that's the level of public representation available to SF I cringe. Michelle Doris has Her hands full with a p***k like him

[T Fearon]

I don't believe Mc Elduff did this deliberately.What was there to be gained from doing so? It's just he fancies himself as a bit of a comedian,which he never will be.

It was a godsend for Unionist politicians in terms of point scoring though.

[Minder]

McElduff is an absolute moron, that much is true. How he thinks he is funny is anyone's guess. Didn't he try a bit of stand up recently ffs?

[Seany]

What a load of complete nonsense. Barry McElduff is an excellent public representative for the people of Tyrone who have great affection for him. He interprets his role differently and perhaps better, than other politicians. He doesn't take himself seriously, he isn't precious about himself and is fearless in assisting both sides of the community. We all know that he didn't do this on purpose. Kingsmill was a nakedly and blatantly sectarian outrage which no republican could be proud of. It happened during an IRA ceasefire and McElduff would have absolutely nothing whatsoever to gain from making fun of it. SO why would he do it?  Logically, or rationally, why would he do something like this on purpose. The problem is that social media has become a nasty place with an online mob waiting and hoping to be 'outraged' by something that they might read. Barry is the latest victim. People need to catch themselves on and cop onto themselves.

What's that got to do with the price of fish? Does it constitute "respect" if he has apologised?  Utter hypocrisy.

Considering the antics and viciousness of the Shinnerbots on social media you can't have it both ways.

[Seany]

Fair enough Minder. You're right on that one. Social media shows that we're all as bad as each other in thsi respect.

[Rossfan]

Seems to be a prize floot altogether.

[Dougal Maguire]
