"Nice Words About Rathlin"
Having been responsible for quite a few typos on this blog, I felt sympathy for the SDLP press officer who e-mailed out a Declan O'Loan news release responding to Martin McGuinness's visit to Rathlin Island but forgot to delete the North Antrim MLA's preparatory notes.
The text has been reproduced by and I suppose it could have been worse. However phrases like "any thoughts on a not too begrudgery response to McGuinness", "avoid the anorak language if possible" and "include some nice words about Rathlin" shed light on the thought processes which probably go on behind 99.9% of such party press releases.
Notes
1. Write two quick pars about Declan O'Loan story
2. Log off and get cup of tea
3. Mention it to colleagues in case they're interested
4. Add supposedly witty pay off line later if can think of one....
