I thank the Member for giving way. She has declared her love for Linfield, but I am glad that she is wearing sky blue, which is the colour of Ballymena United. Does the Member agree with me that the very fact that the Alliance Party and the Bill sponsor have targeted Linfield Football Club because of its colours and flag, including when a previous Alliance Party Member tackled Linfield about the colours of its away top and linked it to a paramilitary force, tells you all that you need to know about the Bill sponsor and that party?
