However the UUP is putting forward few if any compelling candidates, the candidate line-up announcement has been delayed repeatedly and the Tories should never have organised this meeting in the first place - it would never have happened had I been on the Area Exec. Moreover it's not just me. I spoke to a leading Tory grandee yesterday and he was literally fuming about this meeting and implied that Paterson should be summarily fired from the Shadow Cabinet.<br /><br />In short we are being judged by the company we keep. <br /><br />Moreover it's not just the DUP that's spinning it's also the UUP dead-wood that would like some type of pact. What on earth was what nonsense that Danny Kennedy was spouting at Stormont yesterday? It sounded word-identical to Paisley Junior's form of words on Radio Ulster yesterday morning.
