This Week Sinn Fein Are Annoyed About...
When I first saw the headline Sinn Fein anger over B&Q emblem I thought the Sinners had taken offence at the fact that the DIY chain's colour-scheme is Orange, but apparently it's something much more sinister.
Yes folks, B&Q have signed a deal to become official sponsors of the Great Britain and Northern Ireland olympic team until the next summer games in 2008, and to celebrate this have offered staff the option of wearing an alternative uniform which includes the Team GB logo. Shock horror!
It doesn't seem matter to Ms Ruane that nobody's being made to wear the new uniforms, and that staff "have complete freedom of choice" if they wish to continue wearing their regular uniforms. I know that some MLAs must be stuck for something to do with the assembly in suspension, and Ms Ruane may just be trying to detract attention from the real political issues facing Northern Ireland at the moment, but this is taking the piss.
