Childish
So someone finally asked me why it’s the Ulster Conservative and Unionist New Force, or CUMBLA.

Review: To Kill a Mockingbird
Somehow I escaped reading this essential school text, with its story of racism in 1930s American South. Living in Northern Ireland, I draw parallels with sectarianism, with its similar bigotry and prejudice. To Kill a Mockingbird was part of a Unite Against Hate campaign event at Parliament Buildings in Northern Ireland, which I’ve written [...] read our review »

Turas, by Colin Neill – a story of strangers in a strange land
Colin Neill’s first novel Turas peeks into a world in which many Ulster Protestants feel uncomfortable. It’s 2020 and the Irish unification that unionists and loyalists confidently predicted would never happen has become a reality. President Adams is ensconced in Phoenix Park.

It is of course a South Park reference, the two NAMBLAS being the North American Marlon Brandon Look Alike Society and the North American Man Boy Love Association.
So Ken it would´ve be funny just to use NAMBLA, nevermind next time maybe.

I know I could ahve used NAMBLA, but I liked the Daily Show’s habit of changing the acroynm as appropriate and thought it gave it some local colour.
Kensei, how’s about NIMBLA – real dough but lighter – or the rural Ulster RUMBLA amongst the bushes of Tyrone
PS I can see why they didn’t go for Conservative and Unionist, a New Tradition.
I’m much more of a Colbert Report person. Far superior to the Daily show.
