To be fair this billboard is doing a great job accurately replicating the contents of the acts of about 90% of local NI comedians and 100% of merchandise in Belfast art and gift shops...

The power of knowing its their last hurrah adding a lot to ITV4 #TdF rest day show- 2 hardish hitting packages showing they are no longer beholden to Brailsford's blacklist- somehow I don't see Orla and Adam calling out INEOS lack of transparency over the years so clearly!
