This is either canny foresight on where our grand game of political chicken is taking us next or a purely mischievious playing with the opposition, but the headline on Sammy Wilson’s press release hints at a faux sympathy with Sinn Fein on the issue of policing and justice powers. He points to the fact that those powers when they come will be very limited, and will not include the hated intelligence gathering services.

We are reader supported. Donate to keep Slugger lit!
For over 20 years, Slugger has been an independent place for debate and new ideas. We have published over 40,000 posts and over one and a half million comments on the site. Each month we have over 70,000 readers. All this we have accomplished with only volunteers we have never had any paid staff.
Slugger does not receive any funding, and we respect our readers, so we will never run intrusive ads or sponsored posts. Instead, we are reader-supported. Help us keep Slugger independent by becoming a friend of Slugger. While we run a tight ship and no one gets paid to write, we need money to help us cover our costs.
If you like what we do, we are asking you to consider giving a monthly donation of any amount, or you can give a one-off donation. Any amount is appreciated.
