He'd use a different word I'm sure. One that also begins in 'S' and ends in 'ist' though - the same one Eamonn would use to describe himself.

And it's occurred to me this law is a boon to the bin-liner makers (no doubt the mad-men and women who comment here will have a conspiracy theory.) But, in fact, whenever you charge for something people use less of it.

And the Tele would be showing some sense for once if it realised the connection between its declining sales and its witless writers.

Occasional contributor to this august journal. Another member of 'Platform for Change' (unelected but, according to the Tele, significant) is Ms N. McKeever, a regular columnist. Perhaps there are more. Probably there are. I'm sure the Tele could get the endorsement of Socialist Worker or the Official IRA, should it seek it.

I don't know who they were quoting, but I do know that an up-to-date rendering might substitute the protesting of 'rights' for 'patriotism', particularly the protesting of the rights of a group to which you don't belong yourself. Eamonn's been writing a lot about rights recently (gay rights etc); that after eulogising, in Andersonstown , someone (Price) who wanted to deny people the right to life.

Of course it's misplaced and therefore I suppose it's written by someone with a politial agenda. When does the Beal Feirste Telegraph ever quote a Unionist without an epithet such as 'controversial' or 'outspoken'? Stalin would have regarded you as 'useful fools', I wonder what Gerry and Martin think of you? Who know? You never interview them.

Today they've surpassed themselves , though. Irrelevant paper, written by hick-liberals, owned by Dublin merchant-men, edited by a superannuated teenager, outsold by the Irish News.

I can't remember seeing anything of interest there. It was, though, provocative. I suspect that's why it's gone. The ABC figures for regional newspaper sales are out at the end of February. The Tele usually has an article like this in advance of that.

That was when I recognised her for what she is: a feminist/socialist. The pity is that the people of East Belfast promptly elected her. Peter Robinson is then on record as saying that he hadn't really wanted to stand. The electorate isn't so smart, and the DUP is complacent. Alliance are well placed to profit from that. Tthey send round a nice leaflet every couple of months, I never hear from the DUP between elections ( I don't vote for either, by the way).
