  1. Comment on Hearts and Minds: a changing tone in Unionism…
    on 11 June 2009 at 10:50 pm

    the more things change the more they stay the same, would appear you still have to be a member or former member of the Women’s Coalition to get appointed to anything, suppose it makes a change from Alliance members

  4. Comment on The DUP: what went wrong?
    on 7 June 2009 at 10:55 pm

    bit of a climb down from clearing away all opponents and smashing SF to merely surviving.

    of course the dup will survive

    question is how much of it will survive.

    How many calls has Jim Allister taken from DUP’s wanting to jump? Rumour has it he had to turn his phone off there were so many.

  5. Comment on Naomi Long elected Lord Mayor
    on 2 June 2009 at 2:24 pm

    “Peter Robinson indicated that he could fill two Assembleys with the talent he has within his party.”

    which begs the question why are his current bunch of eejits still there

    on 1 June 2009 at 2:05 pm

    Sarah’s media minders did a better job at keeping her away from the press.

    When a candidate cannot answer a question such as what is their personal view of the causes of climate change, when the environment is one of the key European issues then I have to say that candidate is politically immature.

    If you have another term for her lack of ability and poor media performances please enlighten us all.

  10. Comment on Kinahan to succeed Burnside in South Antrim…

    Actually as an Ulster Unionist I think Mr Allister at times can be hysterical himself when he is trying to make a point so it is not a comment on her gender more a comment on her political immaturity. The DUP has a number of quite competant female politicians any of whom would have made a better candidate than Diane. But then their name wasn’t Dodds or Robinson or McCrea.

    and actually since I don’t see where Diane’s transfers are coming from I think she may be in difficulty though I dont rule out the possibility she may get elected without reaching quota
