PAT+JUDE TALK ABOUT BLOCKING MARY LOU, ELVIS’S DAUGHTER, RUSSIA/CHINA, EATING OUT & RADIO FOYLE

Was it British arrogance, or a desire to keep the DUP onside, that led to the refusal to let Mary Lou McDonald into those talks? And will the DUP rue the day that the presence of the Sinn Féin leader was forbidden?

Lisa Marie Presley , the daughter of Elvis, has died in her early 50s. Presley’s mother died early in life also, and so did a number of other family members. Should we see this as the price of fame – or the price of simply being a human family?

Some rare earth metals, of vital importance in manufacturing mobile phones and other hi-tech stuff, have been discovered in Sweden. This would, if it’s developed, end the West’s dependence on China and Russia for these materials. Is that necessarily a good news story?

Would you pay £650 for a meal in a restaurant? There’s one in Denmark that charges that and, it’s alleged, underpays its staff. Is dining out really such a good idea anyway?

And finally, BBC Radio Foyle, Pat says, is effectively being closed down. He sees this as part of British/unionist policy to starve the largely nationalist population of resources and development. Is he right? Who cares where a radio programme comes from?
