Posted on November 9, 2019 by fitzjameshorse

BREXIT broke Britain but… will it break the “United Kingdom”? In June 2016, I voted for the “UK” to leave the European Union. Actually, I voted in a perverse way for England to be expelled from the European Union. Many … Continue reading →

So Euros…How Was It For You?

Posted on May 24, 2019 by fitzjameshorse

The Euro Campaign is over. I have not blogged much. Too busy on Slugger with the usual regiment of Sinn Féin bots and Alliance Party trolls. I have been in Coalisland, Dungannon, Carrickfergus and spent a few hours in Derry yesterday … Continue reading →

Semi Detached Labour Party: Claire Hanna MLA

Posted on February 11, 2019 by fitzjameshorse

I am not sure that the Slugger O’Toole headline “Claire Hanna Resigns from SDLP Whip at Assembly…” is entirely accurate. It seems that Claire will no longer be attending SDLP Assembly Party meetings and has resigned her position as SDLP … Continue reading →

Where Is Superman?

Posted on February 7, 2019 by fitzjameshorse

Seven weeks to go. The clock is ticking by and we are getting close to the time when Superman shows up and dismantles the Brexit time bomb. It cant help “re-negotiation” or “sham re-negotiation” that senior folks are lining up … Continue reading →

Politics For (Ventriloquist) Dummies

Posted on February 6, 2019 by fitzjameshorse

I notice a strange similarity between Politicians (specifically) Theresa May and Ventriloquists. If you recall Ray Alan, Terry Hall and Keith Harris spoke thru “Lord Charles”, “Lenny the Lion” and “Orville”. Look them up on Wikipedia. The trick was to … Continue reading →

I Might Have Become A Yoorpeen

Posted on March 28, 2018 by fitzjameshorse

I think I am now a Yoorpeen (European). God Bless Yoorp. You might think that when I voted for BREXIT that I was not really acting in a way that was pro-Yoorp. But I think that voting BREXIT is the … Continue reading →

(Cr)Ash Wednesday

Posted on February 14, 2018 by fitzjameshorse

So…the Talks have collapsed. The Blame Game begins. No matter what the public statements say, the real debate…the real rancour is within parties. Spokespersons who are put forward (like Simon Hamilton of DUP) are essentially safe pairs of hands. BREXIT … Continue reading →
