1. Comment on Where so few SF and DUP friendly columnists in the MSM?
   on 25 April 2012 at 1:16 pm

   “I fear that the DUP generally don’t have the intellectual capacity”

   “Another thought is that the most zealous among them would tend to hold religious views which render them less accustomed to rational discussion.”

   Some very hurtful comments, from Cynic2 & OM, fortunately we hold religious views which tell us to bless those who curse us or we might take offence at your remarks.

   Compare the two quotes in this article and decide for yourself which candidate has substance and which one is a load of waffle.

3. Comment on Ban on Irish radio outside Belfast
   on 20 February 2012 at 7:50 pm

   “but this is going against Ofcom’s own practices in Britain.”

   It does look like OFCOM are applying their rules correctly, what you really mean is that you think the rules ought to be changed. Why don’t you make the case for that and we’ll all consider your argument then.

4. Comment on Programme for Government Live…

   The target set in the last programme for government was achieved, and it is of course gross. The problem for Northern Ireland isn’t necessarily job creation, it’s that the rate of redundancies is outstripping the rate at which jobs are created.

5. Comment on Legion of the Rearguard – Dissident Irish Republicanism by Martyn Frampton, Book Review
   on 8 November 2011 at 5:13 pm

   “Unlike the British and their planter chums who when they arrived thoroughly respected the democratic wishes of the population.”

   I’m sure the native Americans felt as thrilled to see the Irish as the Irish did to see the Planters

6. Comment on What on earth was that Dr Al?
   on 6 November 2011 at 2:52 pm

   McDonnell is better than that speech, what exactly went wrong I’m not sure, but we are 2 and a half years out from the next election so it’s hardly a terminal blow.

10. Comment on Farry’s dilemma over variable tuition fees deepens…
    on 25 August 2011 at 12:15 pm

    Water charges hit the poorest hardest, tuition fees are levied on those who, with their university qualifications, have higher earning potential.

    As a rich person’s party, I can see Alliance’s dilemma.
