Never have. The DUP and UUP have always seemed to have despised each other almost as much as the republicans.

Getting mullered still. Only currently 4 unionist wins vs 16 republicans. APNI in coalition with an a couple of independents and greens could still make up the second biggest designation yet in NI. I fear the end is nigh for Northern Ireland, something I never expected to see in my lifetime. My...

They’ll be patches in the staunchest of Protestant area’s for sure. However, sectarianism violence is becoming an old man’s game and dying out. It’s almost 30 years since the Downing Street declaration and IRA ceasefire and almost 25 years since the GFA. NI has more than a generation that were...

They’re already the most popular party in the south, just not enough to win a majority and the other two main parties in the south came together in an coalition to take power at the last Ireland GE. The more pertinent question is what happens if the Alliance Party comes second. The system is...

If the trend keeps going with the results that are in so far the DUP might not even be the second largest party in power. So far the Alliance Party are neck and neck with them. Sinn Fein are romping it.

It doesn’t just come down to police interpretation. There were 2 very distinct different set of rules. The Downing Street parties took place in spring 2020 when we were in complete lockdown. Beergate happened in 2021 when we were in the tier system and tier 2 was the being the second most...

I don’t pretend to understand the rules completely but it’s been confirmed that we were under tier 2 during beergate (unlike the downing st parties which happened in complete lockdown) and I think that limited meetings with friends and family to 6 not work colleagues at the office. You’re also...

So a family of four couldn’t order a takeout in lockdown?

Obviously. It’s really not as complicated as Boris, the cabinet and the majority right wing press are trying to make out. Boris broke the law so he should resign, if Starmer is found to have broken the law he should resign.

That rhetoric has been going on a while now. It’s pretty evident that the Rwanda immigration deal was purely done as a set up to fail policy. Liberal Lefty lawyers apparently have a different set of Laws hidden up their sleeves to ruin it. Farage is saying that Brexit wasn’t done because we’re...

Rumours abound that Boris wants a snap GE this year because things are only going to get worse for the economy.

Was thinking the same. Labour took some bashing at the last GE because of perceived failures at local level. Didn’t matter that it was a Tory central government enforcing austerity cuts that Labour councils had to make the tough decisions with. It’s going to be difficult to blame Labour when the...

Clint called it

I have to say I actually rate my conservative councillor and would normally have voted for him based on his personal performance. Not this time though after all that’s gone on. But I wouldn’t knock anyone for voting for him rather than the Tories.

That was a deep thought process to remember the track title, wouldn’t have got the band name in a million years. Just remember going to Faliraki the summer it was a hit and every time the song came on in a bar at least 5 random lads would get up having learned the dance off the TV looking...

Military memorabilia nerds will be all over that if it’s a genuine one. Not jot me though. When it comes to military memorabilia it’s a short list of a Harley WLA and nothing else.

Sat in the Doug Ellis stand. Shitty day. Ginola came on at halftime and turned the game on it’s head is my memory.
