A poem for the day – Launching the Whaler Juan Peron
A Belfast epic, and one of my oldest poems, the opener of my first collection, Grub.

Do Words Matter?: Book Review of Political Discourse and Conflict Resolution – Debating Peace in Northern Ireland

Mark,

Sorry didn’t realise it was covered before, Mark-just idle curiosity on my part-I know that the Lower Ormeau was your turf. I suppose I was tring to establish if Sinn Fein minions such as yourself knew that Liam was an active member, then surely the Party President would have known as well?

If the TUV is a devolutionist party and they achieve significant gains in the next asembly election, how can they participate in a devolved government (under the GFA structures) without sharing power with Sinn Fein?

Adams has wanted to resign as leader for some time but he has been asked to stay by others.He wants to go and he will go- within the year, but only on his terms.

The Sunday World was as usual worse than useless today. Clutching at straws long after the Beeb stole their salacious territory by breaking this story.

Any chance of Big Ian emerging from retirement to return as interim leader whilst Peter takes a leave of absence to deal with the terrible difficulties within his family?
