1. Comment on Margaret Thatcher dies….
   on 8 April 2013 at 4:46 pm

   I assume that Malcolm’s – De mortuis nil nisi bonum dicendum est – is another way of putting the advice I often got as a youngster ‘Do not speak ill of the dead’. So I’ll not say what’s in my head.

   Just hope I can survive the bucket loads of hypocrisy raining down over the next few days.

2. Comment on John McCallister: Our politics has collapsed and retreated behind old barriers
   on 6 April 2013 at 7:04 pm

   Until the electorate decide to leave behind the sectarian politics of flags, emblems and all of the other bigotry which make Northern Ireland almost ungovernable in a shared democratic way, then we are lumbered with our out-dated parties and the neanderthal ‘leaders’ that most of them have.

   The prospect of a shared future will remain a dream so long as we keep voting for these failed representatives.

3. Comment on Obama Reflects on Northern Ireland at a Crossroads
   on 2 April 2013 at 12:24 am

   It’s pretty hard to take this patronising nonsense from Nobel Peace Laureate Obama as he continues his killing of innocent Afghan people with his remote-control warfare using drones.

   And his continued financial and military support for the Israeli aggression against Palestinians should put him well up the list of war criminals with his mate Tony.

4. Comment on “The Undertaker Who Resurrected Unionism”

   Another great victory for sectarianism.
   Anyone elected to a government body who does not take their place should be permanently disqualified.
   It is past time for SF voters to expect their representatives to embrace democracy.

   With the ‘last’ pope about to be elected it should be Final Unionist Conservative Kabal.

6. Comment on Flags – Can we now have a sensible debate?
   on 19 February 2013 at 7:10 pm

   I agree with Barry. Some of our political ‘leaders’ thought it OK to kill their enemies over a related issue not so long ago while some today encourage sectarian thugs in their equally mad campaign which will get them to a similar end point – nowhere.

7. Comment on “Why can’t Great Britain look Northern Ireland in the eye?”
   on 25 January 2013 at 8:53 pm

   When local politicians warn that ‘the world is looking at us’ they are talking total cobblers. The world’s press [apart from some Irish expats] take no notice of our petty squabbles. And how wise they are.

   It is more worrying that the British [and Irish] media pay virtually no heed to the drone war crimes being committed by Obama, supported by Cameron. But then, that’s just a game for Hooray Harry and his chums.

8. Comment on Basil McCrea: “I have stayed with the party through thick and thin, and I will continue do so …”
   on 5 January 2013 at 12:44 am

   Cuddly, ‘liberal’, ‘progressive’ Basil doesn’t seem too bothered about remaining in a sectarian party.

   on 4 January 2013 at 7:57 pm

   Jackie McDonald: “I share the anger in the loyalist community …..”

   Why is the media ignoring the blocking of roads on the Gold Coast, Malone Road, etc?

    on 4 January 2013 at 7:49 pm

    Can someone explain how many petrol bombs are allowed at a peaceful demonstration and what number of petrol bombs begin to constitute a riot?
