“It’s getting ugly at the Stormont interface.”

Nice bit of satire from the BBC NI political editor. In response to the tale told here and here.

One gang tossed a 43 page document entitled “Rights and Respect” over the peace wall. The other responded with a 75 page draft called “Building a Better Future”. “They may look harmless when you just open them up on your computer as a PDF file” the CRC DMSU officer explained “but put that in a ring binder and toss it over a 12 foot high wall and it can give you a very nasty cut”.
