BOTTOM LINE IS THAT THE BEARD IS A MASSIVE CONTROL FREAK FROM THE MICRO TO THE MACRO ISSUES THAT ARE HAPPENING IN WEST BELFAST.HE HAS SHOWN TO HAVE LITTLE REGARD FOR HIS NIECE, BEEN POORLY ADVISED AND CAUGHT TAKING EVERYONE FOR GRANTED, NO GERRY WE CAN ALL THINK FOR OURSELVES AND I THINK THAT THE BEST THAT YOU CAN DO IS SAY SORRY TO ALL VICTIMS WHO YOU HAVE LET DOWN, ALSO TAKE YOUR SEAT IN THE HOUSE OF LORDS BECAUSE YOU HAVE EARNED IT!
