Apparently #ToxicTom made an apology this afternoon for his moronic remarks.
However McClarty is right to stay away, at least until the UUP sorts their mess out.

Firstly, anyone who attempts to discribe the findings of The Saville Inquiry as ” A disgraceful inevitable day. ” or any other language of this sort needs to examine themselves. You only expose yourself as a contemptible, fiend.
There is no escape from the truth that has been revealed today. Innocent, civil rights marchers, were gunned down by forces of the british state with no justification at all. Murder.
Attempts do avoid THIS stark disgrace are repulsive.

Mason Powell, criminals will not have control over the police.
These old cries really are the height of tedium and like I have said before, are less common, as the dinosaurs that bellow them go slowly but steadily to their graves (political or otherwise). Younger generations of Northern Irish people do not hold the same bitterness that you do and we will be moving on.
