DUP U-turn in Support of Terrorist Shrine

Gregory Campbell scrapped the Maze Stadium project because many people in the DUP said it would become a shrine to the Provisional IRA terrorists who committed suicide there. Now the DUP leader has indicated he is willing to go ahead with a terrorist shrine without the stadium! The Provos seem to be in control at Stormont. Due to the system of Government, they can threaten to collapse the Executive if they don't get their own way. Robinson is becoming more and more Trimblesque in his dealings with Sinn Fein-PIRA.

It's time the DUP pressed for a more normal system of Government at Stormont which doesn't involve every party having to be in the Executive.

A Friendly Neighbour?

If the Republic of Ireland is now a friendly neighbour to Northern Ireland and the rest of the UK, why are they continuing to poach players from the Northern Ireland football team? Yes, some people in Northern Ireland decide to take up foreign passports from the RoI. But NI is part of the United Kingdom and has its own football team like England, Scotland and Wales. It's time the political leaders in the RoI started showing some respect to their neighbours in Northern Ireland UK.
