Shameful Scenes

Having missed the last couple of days through illness, I tried to catch up by leafing through Hansard and one debate which brought a smile to my still green cheeks was surprisingly the one on the way forward to deal with victims.
As the vote was taken on an ammendment to the motion, calling on the implementation of the proposals by the Interim Commissioner for Victims and Survivors, the parties were split with the still odd bedfellows of Sinn Féin snuggling up to the DUP, and the UUP and SDLP tugging at the same duvet.
As the 56 ayes and 27 noes were called out, some MLAs shouted, "Shame, shame."
When the speaker Willie Hay's call for order was met with more cries of "absolute shame", David McNarry quipped, " The shames have it."
