Unionists: Reasons To Be Cheerful?
Short term….yes. Nigel Lutton did all he could do in Mid Ulster. Unionist “unity” worked. But probably at the price of boxing itself into a ghetto…and we can all treat any talk of unionist outreach as risible. Indeed it was … Continue reading

And Then There Were…Fourteen…..Er Thirteen
Ooops…he did it again. Mike Nesbitt that is. Does he seriously think that he is doing a good job in leading the UUP? Does any member of the UUP think that? He is a disaster…..but lets be frank. One of … Continue reading

Mike Nesbitt MLA
I saw him on TV tonight. Looked a bit like Jim Davidson was about to introduce “The Big Break”.
