McGuinness in a lather over TV soap pubs

NORTHERN politics often has the qualities of a soap opera but Martin McGuinness for one is not a fan.

So disgusted is Sinn Féin’s main man in Stormont by the antics of Albert Square’s Eastenders and the locals of Coronation Street, that he wants to shut down their respective watering holes.

At least he believes the Queen Vic and the Rovers should be barred from pulling pints before 9pm so that younger viewers are not corrupted by the boisterous behaviour on display.
