John Laird for Christmas?
John Laird (Lord Laird of Artigarvan) is unionism’s jester. His memoir A Struggle To Be Heard ” by a True Ulster Liberal” (from Slugger’s shop on Amazon here) might serve more as a heavy stocking filler than anybody’s idea of a main present. In it he wears the masks of comedy and tragedy to turn the [...] read our review »

What Ireland did right (and what it needs to do)…
It is difficult to believe now that one country recently sent 19 delegations to Ireland to study how well our economy was managed.

FFS, nothing raises an eyebrow in Northern Ireland. Best way to get elected is to blow someone up or pretend you are pious beyond reproach.
Peter hasn’t skipped a beat, business as usual.

18.McGrath: Only an orangeman would say something like that.
What is the official position of your church on its members receiving communion at a Protestant service?
