On Still Saying No

This is my nine hundredth post.

So Ian Paisley is to be removed as Moderator of the Free Presbyterian Church of Ulster (not to be confused with the Free Presbyterian Church of Scotland)? The split in the DUP is obviously on its way.

But then, well might not only as good as every Protestant in Northern Ireland, but also up to every second (and certainly every third) Catholic there, be incandescent at the loosening of the Union that they rightly identify as their country.

And well might everyone, both throughout the United Kingdom and throughout Ireland, be incandescent at the welcoming into the government of Northern Ireland of those, rightly regarded as pariahs in the Republic, who believe that sovereignty throughout Ireland resides in the Provisional Army Council, of which several of them are members, and which would be disbanded if any such claim were no longer being made.

  1. 1) Why should anyone care that this is your 900th post?

    2) Why not link to a source for the story? It's just possible that some of your readers were not aware until they read it here.
