“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 » -

What we lack is Unionist bloggers.
Mick,
That might have something to do with your blatantly sectarian moderation policy. Something which the republicans on this site exploit to the fullest.

It is not feasible that a bomb was planted for a terrorist attack and was then simply forgotten about. Do we know what sort of device it was?

Comment on Londonderry to host All-Ireland Fleadh in UK City of Culture year

I think that it is great that the UK have finally accepted Irish Gaelic culture as part of the ‘UK’ culture.
Isn’t it also great that Irish ‘republicans’ are tripping over themselves to promote an ‘Irish’ city as the UK City of Culture?

Comment on Questions for Ulster Protestants

I believe that an independent NI is a non starter and would be unworkable in any circumstances both economically and politically Nationalists would not wear it. It is nothing more than a Prod wet dream and will remain so.As for a newly independent Scotland linking up or joining with the North they have too much sense for that nonsense. A new anthem and flag i could live with but the rest of the shopping list would be binned.
Submariner,
In summary you might consider a new flag and anthem, but the Prods would be put firmly in their place. What if they don’t play ball?
