    With SF’s history this could have been anybody or several people. The reasons would be too long to enumerate.

    I wouldn’t jump to conclusions about who They are.

    It could be Loyalists, but it could also be Dissident Republicans. There’s also quite a few people in the North who have personal reasons to hate Sinn Fein.

    I think Sinn Fein need to drop the out of date looking motif. It’s starting to look like a tescos yellow pack design. Something a bit more up to date please. Yes history’s important though people are generally just busy getting on with their lives these days. People down south mostly don’t understand the importance the historical figures play in Sinn Fein identity. The state in the south has always downplayed the north. I think there’s a real disconnect there. If they want to do better here then I suggest less history lessons and more policy and how it can actually make people’s lives better.
