I am entirely neutral on the issue of “abstention” at Westminster. I voted Sinn Féin from 1993-2009 so it would hardly have bothered me if the Sinn Féin candidate had won and refused to take his/her seat. And I have … Continue reading →

Posted on December 10, 2012 by fitzjameshorse

An amusing thread over on Slugger O’Toole. “Take Alliance seriously. They represent what most people want, the politics of compromise”. Its not the most catchy headline that Brian “Dimbleby” Walker has come up with. But Walker, who might be styled … Continue reading →

Over on Stratagem-O’Toole, there is some concern about the naming of a public park in the name of Raymond McCreesh, a hunger striker who died in 1981. While not necessarily argreeing with the point, I certainly see that unionists would … Continue reading →

“Starring Peter Robinson As Terence O’Neill”

Posted on November 26, 2012 by fitzjameshorse

Hollywood (California) should never be allowed to re-make movies like Casablanca or Gone With The Wind. In the 1970s they did re-make the classic John Ford western, Stagecoach, with Bing Crosby in the role of the boozy doctor. Nor should … Continue reading →
