“The door to agreement remains open..”
With the elevation of the DUP’s Sammy Wilson to the office of Minister for the Environment the Assembly’s Education Committee required a new Chairman. Step forward the DUP’s Mervyn Storey.. renowned thus far for his promotion of young-Earth creationism.. Perhaps we will now see those teaching guidelines adopted here.. We can almost certainly expect more skirmishes ahead in the battle against The Un-Enlightenment.

Devolution perhaps :)?’
‘Iris, Sammy and now Mervyn ‘.
Who would ever have thought it . Here we have the DUP brains trust more or less in direct intellectual descent from the medieval popes with the mentalities of the spanish inquisition.
Susan McKay wrote a book on the ‘unsettled ’ Perhaps a new one is in order on the ‘unhinged’ :(

Greenflag, that recent photo of Cowen with his hands over his head IMO indicated distress rather than an ‘unhinged’ state of mind. However, I don’t think Susan is likely to shed much light on the ‘unsettled’ Irish nationalist flock.
