I'm pretty sure i've seen that one before. TUV have contacts in BBC now so i'd say big Jim dipped into the petty cash to get it pushed on at prime time after the news broke this morning

But did you watch it? Christ I laughed. Fantastic photoshop skills with the North turning into a tricolour.

I wanna have my kicks before the whole shithouse goes up in flames.

It was poor quality stuff. Not very slick.

How do they get a party political broadcast on at this time of year?

Seems wee Jeff hasn't got enough support.

Must have been a lot of arm bending over the weekend, from what I have seen and read it is very close within the party. Hilary Benn's contribution in the HoC the other day will have made them sit up and think (if that is possible) new government same position.

Jon Tonge, who is an expert on the DUP has basically said a DUP faction is aligning with the TUV and Bryson followers to stop the DUP going into power sharing. Debunking Sam McBrides contention that the DUP decision is not about a SF First Minister. That is exactly what it is about. Time for Nationalists to give up on Stormont.

Of course it is about a SF first minister, at least for some within the party. Note their MPs didn't withdraw their services from Westminster.

Getting sick and weary of the column inches and round the clock media coverage given over to the DUP circus, if you came down from Mars you would think that nobody else existed in this place.

Mc Bride's article was pure waffle.

Saying it was nothing to do with a SF, nationalist republican woman as head of the north.

The DUP could have penned the article.  Doing the bidding for the DUP.

Everybody knows that's the reason for it.

A lot of questions asked about how the shock Jock was able to call into his own show with a bit of gossip that probably derailed wee Jeffreys attempt to push through a return to Stormont.

Shock Jock as been replaced by Holly Hamilton the last few weeks allegedly but was well enough to call in with his  wee titbit

Minimum 5 hours behind, so the shock jock got out of his bed at 4 or 5 in the morning to scupper Donaldsons attempt to get Stormont up and running...

Donaldson needs to grow a set all the same, but the amplification of a minority of hardliners by Nolan isn't helping.

How he is getting away with this on license fee payers money is unbelievable. It must go right to the top in BBC NI but then when you see who is leading it there would be no surprise there.

Would the Good Friday Agreement have happened with Nolan about?

I don't think so... This stuff further highlights it. Things being even slightly harmonious doesn't suit people like this.
