Voting abuse!

SOME of the voters in last week's council election exercised their democratic right in an usual way - with a case of 'voting abuse'.

The 'MAIL' has learned a number of the 33 votes spoiled in the poll were used to hurl invective at the TUV's David Calvert.

On one voting slip there was some rather unparliamentary language directed at Mr Calvert - with the full knowledge he got to see such spoiled votes.
