It's curious the kind of behaviour shinners will grant their representatives a free pass for, while the likes of Maria Bailey get (rightly) hammered for their foolishness.
Fionn1952 wrote: » Not a clue, I'd imagine it was at some point between birth and before Leo stated that SF had no Protestant members, considering he apologised for and retracted his statement rather than noting her recent conversion and stating that it was accurate at the time it was made. I suppose that could've been her plan all along, secretly convert to a Protestant faith just so they'd catch Leo out when he took a dig at the Shinners having no Protestants, but given Wynne's complete and utter lack of media savvy or cop on, I doubt it. Either way, Leo's statement was entirely incorrect, which he has accepted.

McMurphy wrote: » You're going to try and put it back on Wynne Look it, Leo yet again tried to score a point based on religion/race or sexuality. It doesn't matter if Wynne broke into the maternity ward in Rotunda and ate a few babies, Leo didn't have his homework done, and was yet again left with egg on his face, and having to issue an all too common apology and a retraction of his statement.. Maybe of he stopped trying to constantly point score, they wouldn't be as common?
