Evidence if any were needed that ‘Dr’ John Coulter is mad as a March hare! ‘Dishy Diane Dodds’! *Shudders*

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.

Russia Blog is getting excited about Euro 2008. Indeed it is drawing parallels between Guus Hiddink and Peter the Great in terms of successful Russo-Dutch exchanges of expertise. Meanwhile, in Moscow, fans have been taking to the streets in order to celebrate the national team’s achievements.
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 retained a substantial haul of arms.
Former BBC employee Brian Walker has overrun Slugger O’Toole lately with countless poorly structured, poorly written posts. It is possible quickly to recognize and avoid these by subjecting each Slugger piece to a cursory inspection and identifying those which feature characteristic lack of paragraphing and a tenuous grasp on the technicalities of linking source articles. Although I generally evade Walker’s posts by this method, occasionally (and unfortunately) I have persevered and found that their content is as unrewarding as the style in which they are written. Today, for instance, I inflicted upon myself Brian’s thoughts on a mooted Fianna Fail / SDLP merger . In actual fact, he is right to welcome news that the Southern Irish party has dropped this proposal from its agenda; however, the logic by which he arrives at this conclusion is parochial nonsense. To summarise, Walker believes that pursuing realignment with larger parties, whether they are from the rest of the UK or fro
