Sinn Fein's vote share went up. Not down. UP. WTF? Seriously?
Presumably all the recent horrors only encouraged hard liners to go and vote to prove a point, as in our last election. Great tactic that, look how far it's gotten us!
Either that or the southern lot have adopted the tried and tested Belfast method of graveyard votes.
Back up North and it seems that the loyalist scum have got fed up with the republican scum grabbing all the attention & headlines and have jumped on the murder-covering-up bandwagon themselves.

And for all the outcry it doesn't seem to be getting us anywhere. Sinn Fein members who were in the bar the night Robert McCartney was murdered 'saw nothing' (that bar must have the biggest toilets in the country). If THEY can't testify to what they saw, how the hell is anyone else going to come forward?
God help us when the elections come round. About the only hope we have is that the complacent idiots who didn't bother to vote last time will have seen where their apathy had led us and make an effort this time. It's a very slim hope.
Happy Monday...
