“Student Fees – Sınn Féın Manifesto 2011. *Sınn Féın opposed the introduction of student fees and continues to oppose student fees – including any increases. *We will block any attempts to raise the level of cap on student fees when it comes before the Executive.” Early in the year, an increase in fees from 3,500 pounds to 5,750 was suggested (BBC), but in September it was confirmed that they would not increase (BBC), which Sınn Féın here claim as having “Delivered”.

The asterisked sentences are from the manifesto for the Assembly Elections.

Ann Cooper stood (unsuccessfully) in Castlereagh East (in east Belfast) for the British National Party (BBC); the graffiti shown is in Fortuna Street, south Belfast. For another piece of the graffitist’s handiwork, see Slugger.
