The Solution

After the uprising of the 2nd of March
The DUP member for Lagan Valley
Had leaflets distributed in Paisley Park
Stating that the people
Had forfeited the confidence of the the Union
And could win it back only
By redoubled efforts. Would it not be easier
In that case for the Party
To dissolve the people
And elect another?

with thanks to Bertolt Brecht and Gerry Lynch

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.
