1. Comment on UUPs failings: TUV opportunities?
   on 24 March 2010 at 5:46 pm

   However, more than anything the TUV need to be positive, articulating a vision of a power sharing system of government with cabinet government and not one with a Catholic about the place but one with lots of Catholics all over and within it; sharing in and participating in a normal democratic government with weighted majorities to ensure permanent cross community involvement.

   What if catholics elect other catholics who are shinners? Who will the TUV share power with in this voluntary coalition?

   Who do you guys think you are in TUV, the moral conscience of the electorate, as if the electorate are fools? People will vote for Dawn Purvis and they will vote for Martin McGuinness (according to the tele unionists love him), its the TUV that are being rejected, not the rest. Doesn’t that tell you something?

   Ain’t no body listening. Most think the TUV are ‘proppah’ idiots.

   .You do know nobody reads the Irish News since they went firewall?

   I’d say the readership has gone up, if the queue to read it for free in Easons is anything to go by.

   Theres a lot of movement between the BBC and political parties, it’s not unusual, and from his background looks like he’s more than capable, so what is all the fuss about?

   I think your analysis is right. Adams is not a good speaker under pressure, and he will have a lot of controversy to play with. Good analysis Chris.

   Provos and scarecrows both have a real hard time with Moloney.

   Don’t know about provos but I sure have a problem with those who make money on the backs of the dead, it certainly muddys the waters.

    Here is a further update:

    Some people proved hard to persuade and one person who was at first reluctant to get involved, ater agreed to be interviewed and then withdrew his testimony so he could publish his account independently.

    And who was this person?

    Richard O’Rawe.

    and a further update:

    Two people were tasked with carrying out the interviews. One was from the loyalist side and the other fom the republican side – former IRA prisoner Anthony McIntyre, a critic of the good Friday Agreement. They were paid an ‘abundantly modest’ sum for their work….

    ain’t that interesting?
