  1. Comment on Donaldson, Libya and his boss
    on 19 September 2009 at 8:34 pm

    Make of the above what you will and I for one have my own opinion:

    Only looking inward i think its very rich for Middle England to state this when they know how politics works. And how they have been grooming SF/IRA for decades.
    Looking outward i hope Dodds and Paisley Jnr have a fight for it appears now that the former and his dad are living Lundys but in terms of PR they are second to none for they fooled the majority of unionists into voting DUP in while all along looking after their own interests.
    RESPECT!

  3. Comment on Jeffrey Donaldson and Coriolanus

    It is ironic that in a democracy to do right, you must be elected, and to be elected, you must do what is popular, if it be wrong. Maybe Jeffrey is just catch 22.

  5. Comment on Paisley and Yamato
    on 26 June 2009 at 11:51 am

    Its all good and free PR for the TUV. Or conversely Paisley can’t lose – if he wins he can say he still have the support of the people, if he looses he can claim his God took pity on him and allowed him to rest or whatever mumbojumbo he cares to explain it away.

  6. Comment on Protestants and the Irish language
    on 25 June 2009 at 12:07 pm

    The English language is not the national language of the UK but is the de facto language due to usage. If an Irish Language Bill was introduced in an area of Ireland that is not Irish but British the English would have to be dealt with as the de jure language as it is in the Irish Constitution. Hence making English a national language in Lisburn but not in London ~ ironic or what!

  7. Comment on Empey blames DUP for possible SF first minister
    on 17 June 2009 at 2:21 pm

    Subsection 1(1) Northern Ireland (St Andrews Agreement) Act 2006 (c. 53) substitutes, among other sections a new subsection 16C:

    (6)If at any time the party which is the largest political party of the largest political designation is not the largest political party—

    (a)any nomination to be made at that time under section 16A(4) or 16B(4) shall instead be made by the nominating officer of the largest political party; and
    (b)any nomination to be made at that time under section 16A(5) or 16B(5) shall instead be made by the nominating officer of the largest political party of the largest political designation.

  8. Comment on “Their stance on the Lisburn Treaty down in the south was interesting…”
    on 17 June 2009 at 1:25 pm

    Maybe the DUP contolled council in Lisburn wants to make it a city state. Hence the need for a Treaty.
