He made a complete mess of this investigation from the very start and has sought only to make as much money as he could out of this tragedy, with the help of suckers like you.

If anything offends you it is something about yourself you need to deal with, nothing and nobody can force you to feel a certain way. Grow up.

I will never understand the mentality and sheer cruelty of some human beings who treat animals in such a barbaric manner. If I didn't already have two rescue dogs this lovely wee lady would be occupying my sofa in a flash, I just wish I had more space to take her in. I hope she finds her forever home very soon and blessings to this family for looking after her. Damn these puppy farmers.

I would like the soldiers from Bloody Sunday to be asked to detail why they opened fire - because they were being shot at. Let's have it all out in a war crimes trial but somehow I doubt Sinn Fein's ex IRA membership would like being treated like war criminals even though they were fighting a 'war'.

Either the republicans accept it was a war as they say it was and thus such crimes get tried as war crimes in The Hague, or such crimes are treated as civilian murders and the police investigate them. Cannot have it both ways Islandman32. And don't forget how the IRA used children as shields, which is about as low as a supposed freedom fighting 'army' can get.

"Protect the Peace Process. Release Gerry Adams". Which more or less translates as... "Let him go or there's gonna be trouble".

All crimes should be investigated. This particular crime is long overdue for attention. Her family deserve justice just as the Derry lot got theirs at a cost of almost half a billion bloody pounds.

If they had not arrested him then it definitely would have been political policing. Hoods in suits is what they are and they will return to their roots once they dont get their own way.

Two prominant republicans have implicated him in this terrible crime and it simply must be investigated - why shouldn't he be questioned like any other member of the public? it seems that Sinn Fein will only support the PSNI so long as none of their own are arrested for anything. They are only turning this into a political issue because they have nothing else to justifiably complain about. They would not be complaining had a member of one of the Unionist parties been arrested for something similar. No doubt they had to be well prepared for questioning this particular man.

I have always wanted to 'do' afternoon tea and I guess making a reservation at a quality establishment is the way to go. I have tried to sample the afternoon tea fare in the tearoom of a certain castle on the antrim coast four times to date and each time we have arrived to find the place bunged with 'silver surfers' and zimmers and they are never in a hurry to vacate a table.
