Strangford Sat Nav
It's getting nasty already in the Strangford election campaign. Jim Shannon criticised Mike Nesbitt for being good on the air, rather than good on the ground. Mike retorted by saying Jim should stick to getting "potholes in Portaferry" fixed. Now Jim's right hand man Simon Hamilton has hit back by claiming that Mike would need a "sat nav" to find his way around the constituency, and noting that a Tory MP Ann Main has secured a Commons adjournment debate on "potholes and road maintenance".
One way to avoid the potholes would be to travel by water not road, which is an option for some Strangford voters. On which topic Jim has secured, by way of a a statement of support from the Culture Minister for local star Christine Bleakley's Sport Relief water ski across the English channel. Is the DUP man angling for a Bleakley (or indeed a Lampard) endorsement?
