I heard much talk about respect and integrity from Michelle O’Neill, leader of Sinn Fein while over the past months she and her movement show no respect to unionism and its people.

Shankill Road bomber Sean Kelly campaignes for Sinn Fein on the streets, Martina Anderson uses vulgar language in the European Parliment, Gerry Adams doesn’t learn from his break these B’s speech in Enniskillen and then calls a previous Secretary of State “a complete tube”.

Sadly words are being used as a party political slogan that suits a strategy.

Let us move on and use and talk respect as it is-the giving of due regard to others.
