"Derry little Christmas" row, business & Brexit, and no snow in Lapland
A billboard poster marketing Christmas shopping in Derry/Londonderry has been removed after unionist politicians complained it was not inclusive.
A billboard poster marketing Christmas shopping in Derry/Londonderry has been removed after unionist politicians complained it was not inclusive. Derry City and Strabane District Council erected the poster in the city's Waterside with the marketing slogan "Have yourself a Derry little Christmas." It has now been removed after the councillors' complaints. Unionists say the message didn't enter in to the spirit of being all-inclusive. What do you think? Inclusivity? Or Bah Derry Humbug? Stephen got reaction from former UKIP NI David McNarry and commentator Eamonn McCann.
Also on the programme, yesterday Northern Ireland business leaders and representatives of several major employers met the Prime Minister in Downing Street. After the talks Theresa May thanked them for supporting her Brexit deal. In a statement afterwards, the Prime Minister said their voices were "incredibly important". Retail NI Chief Executive Glyn Roberts was there - he spoke to Stephen and we got the views of former DUP minister Nelson McCausland and commentator Alex Kane.
And, with Christmas just around the some families have opted to visit Santa in Lapland. But those expecting a magical winter experience may be set for disappointment as there is currently no sign of Snow. Raymond contacted us about this - he spoke to Stephen and we got reaction from travel journalist Simon Calder.
All that and more on the biggest show in the country...
