The funeral of a Sinn Fein activist in Creggan, Londonderry was attended by hundreds of people present, I am reliably informed. There was zero social distancing.

The escort party was dressed in black trousers, white shirts, black ties, wearing face masks. Many others attending wore no form of face coverings.

PSNI were noticeable by thier absence but I understand staff watched it all on CCTV in the police control room. Yet again a case of ‘do what I say not as I do’ from Sinn Fein.

I will be interested to hear what the SF leadership will say about this event and indeed the police commander in Londonderry.
