Unionists miss humour in Ryanair's newspaper ad

Ryanair's new newspaper ad campaign, trumpeting its arrival in Belfast, hasn't gone down too well with unionist politicians. It shows Martin McGuinness being interviewed with a speech bubble coming out of his mouth reading: "Ryanair fares are so low, even the British army flew home." In rather predictable fashion this prompted Jeffrey Donaldson to claim that it is "offensive" and "totally inappropriate" while another unionist called it "deliberately provocative... insensitive, crass". Sinn Fein, also predictably, is "not unduly concerned". (Via News Letter)
