Vice-President Mike Pence is a brave man. He is after all in the “Party  of Abraham Lincoln” and we all know what happened to Honest Abe on his last visit to the Theatre.

Pence should have known it would not end well.

Yet this form of protest might catch on. I look forward to Deputy First Minister Martin McGuinness going to the Grand Opera House to see Cindarella, Sleeping Beauty or whatever the panto is this year.

It would be uncomfortable for a Sinn Féin (the Party of Trump?) sitting thru a lecture from May McFetridge.
