Jacket Required

Back in his old Drumcree days, David McNarry famously threatened that the Orange order could "paralyse this country in a matter of hours". Well last night he nearly managed to paralyse BBC Newsline in a matter of minutes.

The Ulster Unionist was in the BBC to take part in a "Hearts and Minds" discussion. But after a mix up in make up he donned the BBC Newsline presenter Mark Carruthers' jacket and went home.

Panic ensued as Newsline approached and the presenter's jacket could not be found. Eventually the mix up was discovered, but not in time to exchange garments.

So it was that Mark Carruthers presented the news wearing David McNarry's jacket. The Ulster Unionist MLA reckoned BBC Newsline had done well out of the unscheduled swap, as he reckons his jacket is better than Mr Carruthers'.
