Cold water poured on new Downing St shuttle

Tony Blair’s secret negotiator with the IRA has called for an end to crisis summits involving Irish and British Premiers and Northern Ireland’s parties.
That is not to say there should never be talks to end the paralysis. What is Shaun Woodward for?
Malachi is listing as taking part in the Powell session in Liverpool. Perhaps he might shed some more light on the discussions?
Hi, ken.
Judging others in our history may make you feel better, but you don’t learn anything by doing so.
It is understandable that some should fear judgement more than others.

“Judging others in our history may make you feel better, but you don’t learn anything by doing so”

If we applied your proposition to recent history in Norn Iron Slugger would be all but redundant.

Funny thing, Pete, I read that the first two times. You have a truly irritating habit of repeating yourself when you have no answer. Aside from the fact that you are comparing apples with wolverines, I am also not sure you are right. Once we make a judgment, we learn something fundamental about the person doing the judging.
