Made me tired reading this story....

turquoisetree53 stop being sensible or you will be deleted.....

Until discipline is reinstated into Prisons and Prisoners learn what respect is then there will never be a change in attitudes. Until the "do gooders" (usually people who live on another planet from the rest of us) are brushed aside, prison uniform is reinstated and a robust daily routine is dictated, then our Prisons are just going to continue to be an expensive school for broadening their criminal activities on release.

In my view our "Politicians" have no experience in real government. Their years during the Troubles where spent being what they "Are" good at, being bigots. That refers to both sides, Orange and Green, Loyalist and Nationalist.

Now that they have to actually Govern they are making a complete hash of it.

I look forward to a new generation of intellectual young people becoming MLA's because they care for the people and not the colour.

I wish the whole lot of them would grow up. Enough said.

What an excellent effort, well done to all involved.

Maybe I'm a little bit naive here, but can anyone tell me why any Council should have to be made up of people from different political persuasions ?. It appears to me that any business they conduct is for the benefit of their political careers while everything else is secondary.

Would it not be more appropriate if we elected local business people who have a proven track record for success and a willingness to serve without being tagged to either orange or green or nationalist or loyalist. Surely there are enough good people out there who would willingly take on positions in council without having to first check with their puppet masters as to which strings to pull.

InEarnest, I have to say I am in complete agreement with you. The Alliance party is trying to move forward without going backwards, something which is very hard to do in this place. I believe this is the DUP at their work.

The killing of these two poor soldiers was one of the most despicable and shocking acts of the Troubles that I witnessed, but to use their deaths as a political tool is just as despicable.

May they rest in peace.

again Cnrboy I agree whole heartedly with your comment.

Load of rubbish !!
