Did I hear correctly?  UKIP are running for seats in Stormant. Will  people vote for them?  Hoping to be real opposition in the chamber.

So are The BNP!!!

Anyone read about Martin McGuiness speaking about Ronan Kerr at a Sinn Fein event last night? " I would go as far to say that Ronan Kerr voted for Sinn Fein", why the need to say something that could be viewed as divisive about a death of a man that seemed to unite both communities? Pretty crass I thought. Why politicise a mans death? I always thought your vote was private.

It didn't strike me as very appropriate or classy.

What about the election broadcast on behalf of the No campaign (against AV). Is that the best arguments they have?
"Its a bit complicated"
"If first past the post is good enough for horse racing...."
"Politicians might renege on their promises"

Parties will generally campaign on AV according to the affect it will have on their own results. Hence Conservatives saying no because they're not transfer friendly, and labour and Lib Dems saying yes, because they transfer to each other and will pass the 50% in many seats at the expense of the Torys. Although I just heard on the BBC News that the No campaign hired the Ulster Hall for an event and a total of 7 people turned up!

Usual suspects here will either ignore it or insist there's nothing wrong with it.

Going for the former.

Haven't seen much Sinn Fein posters up and around Omagh yet. Plenty of SDLP, DUP and UUP.

Banbridge had a right few SF posters up on Saturday, not too many about on Sunday, typical, they'll be sitting on top of the bonfire on 11th July along with numerous Down flags that were liberated by those brave loyal sons of ulster

Is that not what Down flags are for? Burning?

I'm genuinely surprised at this. Not that someone in Coagh was going to petrol bomb a car belonging to an SDLP member but that they were putting up SDLP posters in Coagh.

I would think the likely culprit would be one of the loyal sons of Ulster.
