The DUP, an apology

Over on Facebook I shared this image:


Which Jane took one look at and spotted it was a photoshop. Because (a) the brickwork on the DUP symbol was too smooth, (b) there is no way the UDA would put a picture of a woman on their mural, and (c) his is the real mural:


None of which means that the DUP aren't hideously bigoted scum. But I'd rather accuse them of this based on things they've actually said and done, rather than based on false information. So, withut further ado:

And according to the late Rev Dr Ian Paisley, the founder of this sorry lot, I and those like me are the spawn of the Devil.

Who knew?

When I saw that picture my first thought was, "Why have they put a picture of Susan Boyle up there?"

Always good to point out bullshit. We don't need to produce falsehoods.

(But a question about the DUP: would they really *not* put a woman on a mural?)

I sought to answer this question by googling, would the DUP put a woman on a mural.

Result: this post...

UDA, not DUP. (It being a UDA mural).

Jane spent a bit of time looking at UDA murals - and they _will_ put a woman on one, if she's either The Queen, or a dead hunger striker.
