Posted on January 28, 2017 by fitzjameshorse

Sinn Féin offices/advice centres are usually pretty drab with (often) no reference to a specific MLA. I suppose they use co-option so often that it is hardly worthwhile to put up a sign with a name on it. The office … Continue reading →

The End Is Nigh?

Posted on January 6, 2017 by fitzjameshorse

Three questions. Will RHI bring down the Government? Would it be a bad thing? Do you care? I suppose the short answer to the first question is that it is too soon to tell. But it seems increasingly obvious that … Continue reading →

Peace Without Dignity?

Posted on December 13, 2016 by fitzjameshorse

Yes I voted for the Good Friday Agreement in 1998…more than 90 per cent of nationalists did so and more than 50 per cent of unionists did so. It is a simple enough balance sheet. It ended violence. That is … Continue reading →
