This afternoon I happened to exit Stormont at the same time and through the same door as the Deputy First Minister. I was therefore witness to an American tourist be overcome with joy at her chance encounter with him in the car park. I won’t go into the detail of the conversation I had with my colleague about her reaction, but I doubt that Jim Allister would have been any more impressed. Such is his distain for the DFM that he doesn’t want him seeing letters addressed to the FM. (hat tip DV)
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.
