Why do unionists want republicans to say they’re sorry?
Passing off the political disguised as the private is a familiar sleight-of-hand here. What you do is, you present your case as one which has nothing to do with politics. Then if you get the desired response, the matter becomes political. Sometimes the people presenting their case don’t even realize their private case is being used […]

This is a draft of the lecture to be delivered to the Brehon Law Society in New York tonight. INTRODUCTION On 23rd June 56% of the people in the north of Ireland voted to remain in the EU. They did so because it is in their best interests politically and economically. Yesterday Theresa May […]
Stephen does what he can to correct the (gulp) narrative
A few weeks ago, when Sinn Féin swept to its best-ever election results in our North-East Nest, the present Mrs C murmured “Next, the fusillade.” As usual, she had read the runes correctly.

‘Brexit and the Irish Border: Not a matter of British National security interest but rather a matter of vital Irish National interest’ by Sammy McNally
The British government has decided not to reveal what its security services have told them about the security risks of the post-Brexit Irish border.
