Actually very funny! That august political organ the Irish Daily Star: whose readership generally buy it to see who has got their baps out most recently, is always excellent value for a laugh!
My prediction: DUP, SF and UCUNF will each win a seat. The only interesting thing will be who comes first: I suppose in that sense it is a return to the status quo.
"Jim Nicholson, now he's being politically bonked by the Tories."
That image quite put me off my coffee and jaffa cakes that!
Regarding the EU election, it was a funny piece, although in that context not sure how appropriate the Catholic Church paedophilia part was at the end.

I believe it will be the DUP, UUP and Scum Fein also, I also believe that the UCUNF will give the DUP a bloody nose. As to who comes tops, IF Scum Fein do, it really is irrelevant IMHO.

As the moment when the Ulster Unionist and Conservative parties must reveal the detail of their new relationship draws closer, perhaps some of those in the smaller party can be forgiven the odd wobble of resolve . With the modalities as yet unclear, and the stakes for the UUP undoubtedly higher, it is natural for party members to wonder whether the course their leader has set is the correct one. If, to extend the Politics Show’s rather laborious metaphor, Empey and Cameron are on the cusp of political marriage (an interesting image I grant you), there were always bound to be some pre-wedding nerves. With the Conservative party conference commencing yesterday, commentators have begun to reflect some of this last minute anxiety, particularly as theory is put into practice and the Tories and UUP begin to sound like one party. Lord Trimble rounded off the conference’s first day by rallying his Conservative colleagues to contest every seat in the UK. This explicit statement of inten...
The devolved institutions in Northern Ireland are supposedly ‘teetering on the brink’ of collapse yet again. After repeated failures to agree a balanced budget or implement welfare reform created months of uncertainty, the Executive’s future is now in doubt because the PSNI believes members of the IRA were involved in murdering a republican hit man. Despite its apparent seriousness, this particular predicament is unlikely to bring the shaky edifice at Stormont crashing down. The IRA was supposed to have disbanded its military ‘structures’ and decommissioned its entire arsenal of weapons back in 2005. It was on the basis of this understanding that power-sharing resumed in 2007 and the DUP entered government with Sinn Féin. From the outset it was a fairly flimsy pretext. Less than a year after John de Chastelain, the retired Canadian general, oversaw decommissioning, the Independent Monitoring Commission reported that the IRA retaine...
Over at The Dabbler I share some thoughts on the contenders for this year's Turner Prize. Not to give too much away, but I wasn't particularly impressed.
