“Saville is pointless (so is any question on it)”
Someone has mischievously leaked an email from the putative Northern Ireland Justice Minister David Ford to the Liberal Democrats dating from last November. The BBC report highlights the relevant line
In the email leaked to the BBC, entitled ‘Northern Ireland Questions’, Mr Ford states “Saville is pointless”, adding in brackets and “so is any question on it”.
Adds In the comments zone, [Alliance Party member] “Sammy Morse” points to an earlier reference to the email by Mark Devenport – although Saville doesn’t get a mention.
CS 24 You’ll note that put Free Ps or DUP. That’s a specific group i cited, who are notoriously sectarian.[Some Free Ps shun other Protestant church people] The rest of the protestant community, I’ve no quarrel with, just to be clear.
Just in from great night out(I’m a foodie) so got my perspective back, and was inspired to look up ‘trolling’ on wikipedia. If I understand it properly its a bit like felon setting…as applies to you, FJH?.
Everybody:NO MORE FEEDING THE TROLL
(unless I misunderstand the concept).
well granni trixie, I can hardly be surprised.
Fitz, I’m being instructed by Alliance party members to ignore the message because the messenger is (a) old, (b) bitter, and (c) a troll.
Fortunately, like the vast majority of the voting public, I simply ignore Alliance party members.

You may not like the message or the messenger but it is not for you to choose who has an opinion and who does not. Beginning to think your meal gave you indigestion!

Well that covers most of us.
Oh eventually the thread will be closed down.
Usually Alliance types do well out of the discomfort of others…..and more power to them for that.
But the “lets move on message” is amusing. As well as the personal abuse levelled at me. So much for not “playing the man”
Alias,
I dont actually think that granni trixies message was meant for you. LOL
It was a rescue attempt on a much younger party colleague of hers.
“stop feeding the troll” might be interpreted as “stop digging when you are in a hole”.
Fitz, fair ’nuff… I must have been confused by granni trixie addressing her imperative to “Everybody”.
“Well that covers most of us.” – pippakin
I’m occasionally B and C but not yet A. Just because you can give an eyewitness account of the Easter Rising…
From another thread…
9.I think we are lucky to have somebody of David Ford’s stature to take up the job. I only know his public persona but he has always impressed me not just for his integrity which is obvious but for his analytical abilities. I have noticed that his interventions always seemed to be for the good of the process rather than for any party advantage.
It’s going to be a very difficult job and I hope the four bigger parties will back him 100% and encourage their supporters to do the same.

Anyone’s age does not bother me (and I deplore the evident agism which constantly crops up here) but I do wish those who use the term “Alliance types” were more self aware.
When I grasped what trolling meant (amazed to see it has a vast literature) I instantly saw it applied to contributers here but am sorry thaT IN a state of illumination I presumed to alert others, that’s all I meant to do.
granni trixie.
Ive been called much worse …even on this thread.
But I think Ive also referred to DUP types, SDLP types and SF-IRA types.
Probably UUP types as well.
Probably “types” is a word I use to much. And (for once) when I use the word I dont particuarly intend to irritate.
Rather I am attempting to include members and apologists for a Party.
