Is this the most divisive and nasty election campaign in Northern Ireland in decades?

Is this the most divisive and nasty election campaign in Northern Ireland in decades? General election leaflets linking the Alliance Party to the IRA have been criticised as a "fake news" campaign by the party.
The leaflets have appeared "in a number of locations in Bangor".

The criticism comes after DUP deputy leader Nigel Dodds condemned the smearing of any election candidate.
Mr Dodds' comments followed the removal of a banner targeting Belfast's Lord Mayor John Finucane on Monday.

Sinn Fein in North Belfast have also been criticised for including the Shankill bomber Sean Kelly in their canvassing team.

Party leader Mary Lou McDonald said there has been an "appalling and dangerous" campaign of "harassment, intimidation and threats against John Finucane and his family".

So is this the most divisive and nasty election campaign in Northern Ireland in decades?

Also on the programme, Belfast businessman calls on Belfast City Council to suspend enforced removal of Christmas banners outside Hotel.
