You reckon Mr Alister looks silly over the courtroom visit? I think he was putting down a marker. Unlike PR when JA threatens legal action he actually carries through.
You have been punting this crap since before the European election. Did he obtain the money by deception or was it there to be claimed? If he did anything wrong is he a worse person than the Robinson family, a better person or just about on the same level?
Is it right that a DUP MLA can contribute £500 to his local football club to buy space for his poster to appear on their pitchside wall?
If IPJ loses this election, and the outcome is far from certain, I wonder what other talents he has to turn to, to earn a living as his political career goes down the tubes? He has even been made redundant as a retained and salaried researcher for the retiring MP.
I get the feeling from talking to some DUP insiders that there would be few tears in parts of the party if he does get a licking.
Easy for Clegg to promise much without having to explain how he would actually deliver. Sideline politics is the easiest with no track record to be challenged. Cameron was just OK and I thought that Brown didn’t do himself a lot of harm either. Very sanitised programme I felt with everyone on their best behaviour and using first names. Give them boxing gloves next time and lets witness a real slog!
If I was in the shoes of IPJ I wouldn’t be smirking too soon. Just watch the dirt that will flow in the other direction. The person who starts a dirty dialogue can finish up the loser unless they are squeaky clean. Is IPJ or the DUP squeaky clean?? The skeletons will be quaking in the wardrobes at the prospect of an airing. It should be fun! IPJ was remarking that he was canvassing while his opponent was in the courtroom. Wonder if he bumped into any of his DUP colleagues seeking injunctions?
Following Alan’s piece on libraries, I picked this ‘advertorial’ from Google plus this evening… about how a US county library system is cutting costs and improving flexibility in their free at the point of delivery services by enabling the whole library service act as a functioning unit as opposed to the one discrete library… read our review »
It’s the quiet ones you have to watch, they say. When I last saw Eamonn Namcarrow, back in the mid 1980s he was a congenial, good-natured and highly sociable young lad. The next time was 26 years later, in Lavery’s Gin Palace in Bradbury Place. He’d just brought out his first book, Holywood Star about [...] read our review »
Having somehow managed to avoid watching a single episode of the widely praised West Wing TV series I was delighted to discover the entire Box set in my Christmas stocking – and with enough spare time over the holidays to give it a good lash. But with 10 episodes of the first series under my [...] read our review »

You could get a decent fountain pen for £500.

That £500 would be public money I assume?

“We don’t have the exact figure”
Would that be the Royal “We”.
Remember you have told us that you are not even a DUP voter! Hope your leader doesn’t get proof of that.

It is a bit of a shocker. Hardly democracy more like blackmail.
