Sunday Supplement
It being Sunday, we’ve all got time to consider and ponder things at greater length than during the working week, yes? If it’s good enough for the Sunday papers, it’s good enough for this guest blogger. So here’s the review section… Actually, it’s my introduction to a book published last year, Goin’ Down Slow: selected [...] read our review » -
“Unionism Decayed 1997-2007″ by David Vance: book review
I initially wrote this when the book was first published three years ago; whilst certain elements of it now sound dated, its basic premise that the period of 1997-2007 was a period of irreversible decay for Northern Irish Unionism can still be argued as a valid opinion. My own feeling is that it did indeed [...] read our review » -
Ian O’Riordan’s Miles to Run: An invitation to madness?
Ireland is in the middle of a boom – a running boom. Chances are, even if you have never run a step yourself (apart from some painful P.E. classes many moons ago), someone you know has taken up running over the last little while. Road races in Northern Ireland and in the Republic have seen [...] read our review »

Comment on Brady departure in sight
on 5 May 2012 at 6:29 pm
Interesting how the news slipped out last week that Fr Brian Darcy had been repremanded by the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, just before his part time employers broadcast the devastating This World program, now he might leave if Cardinal Brady stays…..best served cold i believe they say.
The critical consideration is that Brady would have to stay in place, at least in the short term, since he is attracting and conducting all the vitriol, if he where to fall, there may be a blood bath, each and every accusation and its handling surrouinding the numerous rapists could be pored over. How many current priests / bishops had some dealings with accusations and would be found wanting ?
He was able to ride out the storm in 2010, the plan is to try the same approach now,.

Comment on The Biggest Issues – what happens when talk radio goes awry?
on 29 April 2012 at 10:26 am
charming……
i note PY that you contribuited zero to the debate, played the man, very john terry of you…
The drama catches the essence of our shrill reaction which the media play up to. During the recent A&E wait ‘scandal’ BBC reported wait numbers up 55% at the Royal, when the interviewee pointed out that this was on par with the combined total with the City last year they quickly moved on.
The problem was the intro to the topic the next day,
‘ yesterday we brought you the news that numbers waiting was up by over 50%’

Comment on Father Brian D’arcy told to submit copy to Church censor…

Petty Fr Darcy doesnt use his exposure on the British media to question the 195000 abortions carried out each year,
or the 13 year girls given contraceptives in Southampton, soon to be rolled out to a pharmacy near you
or question why the President of South Africa can have four legimate wives, but can cure hiv by sleeping with a virgin.
Fr Darcy should stop nasal gazing at the rules he knew about and start speaking out against the immorality of current society

Comment on For Unionists Only: What would you relish in a United Ireland?
on 18 April 2012 at 8:26 pm
Out with a religious set tonight who added –
Abortion not permitted
The right to life of the elderly, where no backdoor euthanasia is allowed.
No gay marriage
No pointless foreign wars ( Afghanistan a real bugbear )
and a few country types..
A real voice at Brussels, where quotas and exceptions are hard fought and actually won.
Lottery income is spent here, not in Stratford

Comment on Vatican moves against turbulent Irish priest…

Susan, re tweet from Fr Byrne
Christ on the cross neither judges nor excludes
Oh really, read Lukes gospel
The current clergy need to grow a pair, to come out of the shadow of child rape, not to embrace the latest liberal attitudes and be trendy, but get up and tell the laity what is right and wrong. They joined an organisation wedded to celebracy for a thousand years.

Comment on John McCallister: future leader of the Opposition?
on 25 March 2012 at 9:25 pm
Another part of the party which needs a clearout..
So given the potential influence of FST, no wonder John McCallister wants to throw McNarry out of the party, gettin revenge on behalf of Tom Elliotts supporters

Why belong to a political party if you cant be bothered attending an important vote? 50% turnout, are they having a laugh?

A bit of a puzzle this, how can either of the candidates possibly hope to increase the unionist turnout, if they cant manage to get a 50% turnout from their own members??
