Shotgun election

Mark Devenport | 14:11 UK time, Tuesday, 18 May 2010

Mike Nesbitt made clear in this week's papers that he is no fan of election posters, and would like to see all parties agree to end the practice of putting their candidates' pictures up everywhere. But few politicians' posters are meeting as explosive an end as the Strangford UUP candidate's. My sources tell me his agent plans to donate them to the Carrowdore Shooting Club for target practice.

And who might be shooting at Mr Nesbitt? None other than the man who vanquished him at the polls - the DUP's Jim Shannon is, as regular readers of this blog will know, a shooting enthusiast who occasionally visits Carrowdore to let off a few rounds.
