    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 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.

    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.

  7. Comment on The real meaning of Nick Clegg
    on 17 April 2010 at 1:28 am

    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!

  8. Comment on The DUP and a hung Parliament
    on 17 April 2010 at 1:20 am

    Great that a few posters appear to have gone out to enjoy the lovely evening. Canvassing?

  9. Comment on Judge refuses injunction over DUP election leaflet…
    on 15 April 2010 at 12:05 am

    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?

  10. Comment on South Belfast Orange and Black call for agreement

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