AS he prepares to stand down in February, NI Human Rights Commissioner Brice Dickson accuses the British Government of acting in an “immoral” manner by using rights issues as a bargaining chip in political negotiations to restore a devolved Assembly.

A slightly inhuman presence that bans bad comments and works late at night to remove the wrinkles in Slugger’s technical carpet. You will need to know about the comments policy to stay off the fightin’ side of me and there is a bit of background about me here. You can email me using this spam-proof link if you really need to, and Slugger is @sluggerotoole on Twitter. But above all, remember, Play the ball and not the man.
