DAITHÍ MCKAY & DECLAN O’LOAN WANT TO JOIN THE POLICE
Have you heard the latest, Mark? The prospect of the Police playing a gig at Stormont has had a positive impact on relationships between Sinn Féin and the SDLP. I have just learned that Daithí McKay and Declan O’Loan have co-written a letter to Sting asking him to sing “Every Breath You Take,” one of the Police’s biggest hits, as their special request for Junior Paisley. That’s not the half of it. They have re-worked the song’s lyrics so that they reflect Junior’s contribution towards improving the Public’s perception of Politicians. Not content with that, Daithí and Declan also want to join Sting on stage as backing singers. Would you believe it?
Fortunately, using the Back-channel, I have obtained a copy of the new lyrics which give a very fair reflection of the trust that Daithí and Declan place in Junior in his role as an MLA.

Mark, this song has ‘hit’ written all over it. I think Daithí and Declan have a Number One on their hands.
