Jim proud to wear Green
Orange might be the colour you would associate with our Traditional Unionist MEP Jim Allister. But today he sported a green jersey in the European parliament, as part of a Eurosceptic protest against the apparent strategy of European leaders to by pass the Irish people's rejection of the Lisbon treaty. Undaunted by jibes from the Fine Gael MEP Avril Doyle, Mr Allister says he has no hang up about the colour green and was proud to wear the shirt which bore the slogan "Respect the Irish Vote".
Earlier in the week, when asked on the Politics Show whether he was embarrassed to be on the same side of this argument as Sinn Fein, the MEP responded that if republicans said the sky was blue he could hardly be expected to insist it was red.
Orange, blue, red and now green. At this rate the TUV is going to end up joining a rainbow coalition.
