"Joy" Division?

Mark Devenport | 12:45 UK time, Wednesday, 4 February 2009

It seems ages since the blog last documented Jim Allister's thoughts on the Euro anthem "Ode To Joy". Now the MEP thinks he has spotted a division in the attitude of the two MEPs to the anthem. Mr Allister claims that during a recent plenary session of the European parliament, Bairbre De Brun stood for the anthem, whilst Mary Lou McDonald remained seated along with Euro sceptics like himself.

Politically significant, or a commentary on who happened to be feeling more tired at the time?
