It never did.

Recently property investors have been happy to accept rents that were less than mortgage repayments, as the increase in the property’s value more than made up the difference.

It would be interesting to know what each of the Sarcon directors brought to the enterprise, in terms of cash or loan guarantees, and what they expected to get out in profit over time.

Bigotry or racism, Greenflag. There were too many Dubs there … Ding Dong

So why could’nt yiz have just fecked off to Australia like all t’other thieves, vagabonds , cattle rustlers, pillagers and arsonists . No ambition that’s whaa it is

…Er,possibly literally, and so are many of their constituents. We’re actually quite proud of our dishonourable past- planters from Scotland have been called the scum of the earth by commentators for centuries
I recall Junior engaging in a flurry of correspondence with Cubitt in the News Letter, and I suspect he underestimated the tenacity of his opponent.

Britain’s Irish colony has always been set up to take a good healthy war-profiteering piece of the action. Whether supplying the Navy with butter and linen, or the officer classes with bodies that what it’s function is.

There’s never ever been a serious question of conscription. In the North the bodies were need for early industrialisation, in the South the eldest sons were needed for the farms and the younger sons for the Army and Navy.

Now we live in a different economy as bequeathed to us by the Thatcherites when they changed the rules in the City and brought back de-regulation and banditry. The Paisleys are the descendents of Border Reivers who believe in playing every card and they are still doing it. I’m asking again, this is what NI is built on, why object now?

Maybe someone could confirm.

It should give pause for half nation self reflection but of course it won’t ! The fact that almost 70% of Northern Ireland’s income per capita comes from the public purse makes Paisley Jnr’s ‘investment’ look like spilt milk ?

But all is now revealed ?

The man who sourced the information which has led to the latest saga in the seemingly unending affair, former Ballymena solicitor, Lyle Brutus Cubitt, has challenged Ian Paisley Snr. to resign his North Antrim seat and allow his son, Ian Junior, to face the electorate.

In an exclusive interview with the Ballymena Times, Cubitt declared:

‘Ian Paisley Snr. is more often in the company of Bertie Ahern than he is at Westminster. In my view the electorate of North Antrim are not receiving value for their vote.’

And there you have it once again folks – It’s the Fenians/Republicans/Catholics fault . It’s them what’s done it . If Paisley Sr had spent more time in Ballymena and carried on his usual oul guff and kept a watchful eye on his errant son why everything would be like it was in the good old days with people throwin bombs at each other and shootin and killin and thievin and not talkin to Catlicks . Can’t be havin any of that lark -God would not approve .

It’s only an outbreak of mild Ahernia . Now all the Paisley’s need to catch is a dose of the full blown CJitis and ‘Brutus’ Cubitt will be well on his way to inheriting the North Antrim seat ?
