I am pleased to announce that Ian James Parsley has not published a comment I made on his excellent Blog. Mr Parsley, who has had more Parties than Boy George, has ventured his opinion on “SDLP Unity”. The SDLP is a Party that Mr Parsley has not yet joined……and I am sure the SDLP are grateful.

I suggested that Mr Parsleys track record of membership of ….at least…..the Alliance Party and UUP has …..perhaps compromised his right to be taken seriously. Mr Parsley has made it clear he thinks this unfair.

For all his many qualities, consistency is not exactly one of them.
