PAT + JUDE TALK ABOUT LETTERS IN THE IT, THE ‘BLACK BOY’ STATUE, AND SHUT EVERYTHING ON SUNDAY?

Never on a Sunday, they say. Well, this Sunday is different.

There is a controversy being engaged in via the Letters page of the  Irish Times. Proinsias de Rossa, a former Workers’ Party politician, has written a letter chiding those who would seek a border poll.                Professor Colin Harvey has written in, disagreeing, as have some others. How significant is this?

In a Cotswold town, there is a statue of a Black Boy, as he’s called, who clearly was a slave. Should it be removed? And what about various British and unionist worthies who can be found throughout Belfast and other places? Is this ‘cancel culture’?

Finally, was it good that once we worked for six days, and like our Maker took a rest on the seventh? Or is it more cheerful when pubs and shops and everything is as available on Sunday as on any other day?

Pat and I provide our Sunday best…
