      I watched Jeffrey Donaldson and I watched Michelle O’Neill on TV, in the lead-up up to tomorrow’s local elections. Some commentator described Michelle as adopting a presidential style.

        During the War Between the American States a pompous General addressed reports to his Commander-in- Chief from “Headquarters in the Saddle.”   Unimpressed, Abraham Lincoln asked an aide to tell the General that he had his Headquarters where his Hindquarters should be.   Before the Internet it was common for American […]

The Met police don’t seem to mind who they arrest and imprison – anyone objecting to the Coronation of King Charles was scooped and spent up to 18 hours in detention. Remind you of any now-defunct police force?? Are the DUP stuck up an alley of their own making – Mark Carruthers appears to have […]
