    In that case your failed attempt at humour may be the only thing more horrible than your spelling.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Willie_Frazer

    Following the 2013 horse meat contamination in burgers scandal Frazer gave an interview to The University Times in which he claimed horse meat had actually been introduced to the food chain by the IRA five years before the scandal broke. He also claimed that republicans were behind "old fat cows that are 30 months old" being sold for food before adding that "a blind eye has been turned to it" and that "this is the kind of thing that's going on that we're sick of". However Frazer has yet to produce any evidence backing this claim, nor was any reported at the aforementioned time.

    For a brief period after selling his haulage firm Frazer ran "The Spot", a nightclub in Tandragee, County Armagh, which closed down after two Protestant civilians, Andrew Robb and David McIlwaine, who had been in the club were stabbed to death in February 2000 by the Ulster Volunteer Force (UVF), after one of them had allegedly made derogatory remarks about dead UVF Mid-Ulster Brigade leader Richard Jameson. Frazer was confronted in an interview on Radio Ulster about the murders by the father of one of the victims.


    In May 2012, after seeing the Italian flag being flown as part of a cultural event held in Donaghmore's St Patrick's Primary School and mistaking it for the Irish Tricolour, Frazer accused the school for 4-11 year old children of being "the junior headquarters of SF/IRA youth", stating on Facebook that "I wounder do they also train the children in how to use weapons, for it seems they can do what they wont" Concerned for the safety of students and the school's reputation, teachers informed police of the accusations and photographs of the school posted by Frazer were later removed from Facebook.


    Frazer applied for a licence to hold a firearm for his personal protection and was turned down, a chief inspector said, based on intelligence that he was known to associate with members of loyalist paramilitaries. During the Smithwick Tribunal (set up to investigate the IRA ambush and killing of RUC officers Harry Breen and Bob Buchanan) it was alleged by a member of the Garda that Frazer was a part of a loyalist paramilitary group called the Red Hand Commando.

    In November 2012 Frazer announced his intention to contest the 2013 Mid Ulster by-election necessitated by Martin McGuinness's decision to resign the parliamentary seat to concentrate on his Assembly role.Frazer was quoted in The Irish News in January 2013 as stating that he would not condemn any paramilitary gunman who killed McGuinness. He did not stand in the election, during which he was in prison on remand.

    yes some of his family have been murdered ,as have other peoples families but that didnt stop him being a plonker.
    My spelling is the least of his problems
