When unionists lost so badly in an Assembly election that could have been avoided, Mr Adams rubbed our noses in it.

His boasting; swagger and gloating was a sure measure to aggravate the unionist sector and ensure they remembered his threats next time.

He would probably disagree with this but he is an important recruiting officer for the unionist cause.

His double act of wanting to reach out to unionists while threatening to remove their national determination and identity is seen for what it is – a farce.
