Let me start by saying that the yellow in the blog post title refers to the colours of the Alliance Party of Northern Ireland, and nothing else. It might seem like a strange disclaimer with which to start a blogpost, but TWGOOFBTO in Northern Ireland (those who get out of bed to be offended) caused Ulster Unionist councillor Michael Copeland to have to
issue an apology to the Alliance Party's candidate in the European elections over a tweet of his expressing similar sentiments.
One of Northern Ireland's claims to fame is that it is home to the the highest concentration in the world of TWGOOFBTO's. In fact, Michael Copeland's tweet was part of a wave of reaction from TWGOOFBTO's to comments by Anna Lo, in which she expressed her support for the idea of a united Ireland, and said that perspective stemmed from being "anti-colonial". (That being so, more than anything else, it is an indictment of the SDLP that they couldn't attract her into their ranks.)
