“Do You Know Who I Am?”

Posted on September 24, 2012 by fitzjameshorse

The Andrew Mitchell story is surely not that unique. He is hardly a household name in his own household. And if I ever appear on the excellent “Pointless Quiz” on BBC and chosse “Tory MPs Recognised By The Public”, I … Continue reading →

Posted on September 18, 2012 by fitzjameshorse

At some point today, I hope to blog about the general Bastardy of the Alliance Party. But just a thought on the issue of Nelson McCausland and the motion of censure which the SDLP has tabled. Love them or hate … Continue reading →

Constituency Offices…#12 Caitriona Ruane MLA

Posted on September 10, 2012 by fitzjameshorse

 No specific mention of Caitriona Ruane Sinn Féin MLA for South Down but I am attributing this Warrenpoint office to her. A bit average looking…….but some bonus points for the Palestinian Flag.

Small acorns and mighty trees and all that. The First Anniversary of Internment (which happened in 1971) was marked by rioting and probably death destruction and injury….in West Belfast. Thats how it was and probably the second and third anniversaries. … Continue reading →

So……Martin McGuinness

Posted on June 22, 2012 by fitzjameshorse

I kinda feel sorry for Martin McGuinness. If he had refused to meet Mrs Windsor, he would have been criticised by unionists and lets get alongerists. If he had agreed to meet her, then the same people would have gloated. … Continue reading →

As I have stated here on several occasions, I voted SDLP from 1970 (Gerry Fitt was of course actually Republican Labour at the time) until 1993. From the period 1993 until 2009, I voted Sinn Féin. At first as anti-SDLP … Continue reading →

Referendum: Victory For Fear

Posted on June 2, 2012 by fitzjameshorse

So the Referendum on Fiscal Stability/Austerity was passed 60:40. There are, I suppose reasonable arguments to be made FOR the Treaty. And I suppose reasonable arguments to be made against the Treaty. Long Live Reason. Yet it strikes me that … Continue reading →

Posted on May 30, 2012 by fitzjameshorse

I have recently made cryptic references to Sinn Féin TALKING about Wolfe Tone but being unable to spell his name. In todays Irish News, Diana Rusk reveals all….well most. Last week in the small village of Derrymacash leaflets were distributed … Continue reading →
