Imagine telling someone 20 years ago that one day Sinn Féin would criticise the DUP for not showing enough respect and solemnity regarding Remembrance.
So let me get this straight? The Unionists used to foam at the mouth because SF didn’t attend the Remembrance Day service.
Now that they do, to respect the traditions of Unionists, the DUP has prevented the FM from attending.
How bloody stupid is that?

Alliance have few to blame but themselves.
The party had opportunities many could only dream of.
In response Alliance's leadership backed a weak and failing Executive, allowed and perpetrated harassment of their own hardworking activists, and betrayed the trust of their voters.

The LucidTalk poll also suggests the Alliance party is in a downward spiral - the party could potentially lose up half its Assembly seats says @SuzyJourno

Some Alliance elected reps are good people and won't deserve to lose their seats in May.
Many aren't, and will deserve it, but may still walk into cushy jobs with Stormont on their CVs, and not feel much pain.
Some won't lose their seats - even though they ought to.

A while back, I built an independent version of the Public Record Office NI's catalogue.
My version is a lot easier to search and browse, and has more features.
If, like me, you visit PRONI to research history, I encourage you to check this out.

Here's the thing about unionist unity.
Unionists need to be agreeable in order to work together.
Some unionists are much less agreeable than others.
And more-agreeable unionists tend to have an easier time working with non-unionists too, which less-agreeable unionists dislike.

In the 1920s, the UUP wanted Tyrone and Fermanagh to be included in the north, despite them having nationalist majorities.
In the 2020s, the UUP can't understand why so many people vote for Sinn Féin.

Had Givan been in charge of RHI, the cost of the wood pellets would have been £170 billion.

Two things can be true at once.
I think abuse of politicians, especially misogynistic, homophobic etc abuse, is wrong.
I also think politicians get coddled disproportionately compared to the rest of us, given many are on £60k-£100k a year.
