Bob McCartney talks balls

I was watching 'The Politics Show' on BBC1 earlier; it was an hour-long special on Norn Iron, seeing as we are off to vote early and vote often on Wednesday.

The first part of the programme had representatives from the Ulster Unionists and the DUP, and the one-man show that is Bob fucking McCartney QC, the biggest pain in the hole to walk this earth since David Beckham.

Bob was giving both the UUP and the DUP a strict telling off about having/intending to share power with Sinn Féin, and then he came off with the statement that 'both parties want to go into government with those who murdered Protestants and destroyed their property'.

To listen to McCartney, and other unionists, you would think that the whole war here was just an exercise in republican brutality, and that unionists sat back and suffered in silence. From 1987 onwards, loyalist paramilitaries slaughted more people than republicans, and continued to wipe out all round them after the ceasefires were called. The silence from the unionist parties was deafening; some of them such as that tone-deaf preacher Willie McCrea chose to share public platforms with the likes of King Rat. More tellingly, the unionist parties also said absolutely fuck all about the state murder of scores of people when the report into collusion was published a few weeks back. And these people expect the electorate to believe that they are democrats? What chance of them sharing power with nationalists when they shout each other down in a television studio?

The very fact that Bob has to stand in six constitutencies simultaneously for his fUKUP party speaks volumes of his political irrelevance. He also conveniently forgot to enlighten us as to what his alternative to devolved government is. Another 4 years of being under the thumb of Hain and his other blow-in fuckwits from Blighty? Stick that one up your bangle, Bob.
