stoops taking down posters already.. following a comment from a caller on talkback to mags ritchie about the number of stoop election posters, these cretins actually went out and took some down

you call, we haul.....

Where? Any source?

keady.. source- my own eyes. correction my own rolling eyes

And you went over and asked them why they were taking them down and they told you that they were doing so because Ritchie had told them to do so because somebody had complained  on Talkback?

Good man Lawnseed, sensible as usual

[Maguire01]

Has anyone else done this yet?

SDLP Upper Bann Assembly candidate Dolores Kelly has suffered minor injuries after her car windscreen was smashed in Kilwilkie today.
Fri 15th April

Mrs Kelly, who was in the car at the time,  sustained cuts to her hand in the incident which took place at the Bells Row crossing but said it would not deter her from her speaking out against those engaging in intimidation and terror.

She said: "I have no doubt my car was deliberately targeted by these mindless hooligans who are intent in wreaking havoc in this area.

"Despite the damage to my car, which will require a new windscreen, and my injuries it will not stop me from speaking out against those engaging in anti-social behaviour.

"Just like my colleagues in Tyrone who were attacked with a petrol bomb last night we in the SDLP are determined to stand strong against all forms of violence and intimidation."

No mention of the similar incidents experienced by SF canvassers over the past fee weeks in Kilwilkie and Craigavon. Of course the Stoops don't actually have the balls to canvass these areas anymore - Dolores was driving through Bells Row at the time, not Kilwilkie.

Because of physical threats by Provo admirers. They haven t gone away, you know

Not quite sure what you're getting at Gaffer but in case you didn't know it's supporters of our dissidents friends who were most likely responsible. They reserve a special loathing for Kelly as although she's always first on tv with her condemnations, she won't actually come into the area to canvass or do any other political work. Compare and contrast with big John who has been subject to the same intimidation but doesn't request a PSNI escort to go about his business there.

Are there any RSF candidates from lurgan this year?

i think there was one from the area last year?

Big hard John, eh?

Can you blame her for not going in?

I didn't see any mentions of the similar incidents, but i'm open to hearing about them.

Do SF tear down other parties posters in the 6 counties too?

[Tony Baloney]

If you drive through Armagh you'd think Thomas O'Hanlon (SDLP) was the only person up for election. Didn't see one SF poster.

She's supposed to be the elected representative for the area and always has something to say when there's trouble so yes I do "blame" her for not going in - its what she's paid to do. By neglecting the area she's abandoning the vast majority of good people there to the thugs.

why dont the stoops send in the portuguese lad or the polish women might as well break them in

Do SF's West Belfast MLAs go door to door in the Shankill? Or what about the North Belfast MLAs in Mount Vernon?

She's elected in that constituency, but i'm guessing she isn't picking up many votes from here. I'd imagine John O'Dowd would get a significant number of votes here.

Did you read the link? Questions on all areas of policy - political reform and all areas of the Executive's responsibility. Surely relevant to all, whether in the city or elsewhere.
