My Sinn Fein Doppelganger

Mark Devenport | 15:04 UK time, Monday, 5 January 2009

Back in 2007 the Belfast Telegraph discovered I had a googleganger. Now Danny Morrison reckons I have a republican doppelganger. He says that someone looked closely at the photographs on his website and spotted me on the right of the eighth photo.

The photo was taken in Larne in 1984 and my line of defence is that this is two years before I first set foot in Northern Ireland. But if my doppelganger cares to make themself known it would complete my alibi.

    It's definitely you Mark. I don't know how you think you're going to get away with denying it.

    But why are you dressed for the fifties in 1984 and why is Jim Allister there on the left?

    It's a conspiracy traditional_unionist and redflyfisher! A clear and deliberate attempt to undermine the Britishness of the BBC and the TUV.

    Well past the time for you pair to get hot under the collar and form the continuity TUV.

    Great blog and 'excellent' point about a 'sinn fein doppelganger'....

    [We all know, that you are telling the truth about the picture in 1984...]

    I noticed Jim's side kicks had no comments to make.
