Nothing more than a fig leaf to allow unionists into talks, although everyone's favourite newsreader could scupper that.

Is there still a wee caravan at Drumcree?

The parades commission don't see yes to 100% of their requests so they're not viable and impartial

[charlieTully]

money being cut from services left right and centre yet these cnuts are continually facilitated to the tune of millions, what a disgrace.

It's high time they're made pay for the policing of these parades.  How much twaddell etc costs to the public purse is a joke.

On the radio today that it costs £40K per day!

[charlieTully]

the place is on its knees and yet 40k a day can be spent on Twadell. Would be laughable if it wasnt so serious.

This is why SF/SDLP are sticking to their guns about the welfare reforms. When money can be wasted like this why should they introduce cuts to other vital services.

2015 election on the horizon too, DUP seats could be crucial. FFS they let walk down the fecking road in the morning, is that not compromise. this place is a joke

SF/SDLP stance on cuts is nor credible either.

[Man Marker]

The SF stance on cuts has been played to make the DUP/OO concede ground on flags emblems and the past, it has been used as a negotiating strategy.

I see 1000 jobs are to be lost in Ballymena hi. There will be a lot of people with plenty of time on their in a year or two which could be a bad thing.
