Plus policy wise they have  been moving steadily to the centre.

That show is so far gone that it has backfired on the official 'NI' establishment. The more Nolan hammers SF the more it will drive support for them because most people just see it for what it is, a punch and judy show with manufactured outrage, fringe hardline contributors and staged callers. It's a bit like Jamie Bryson, its now become one of SFs greatest vote winners.

I stopped listening to Nolan a long time ago, but I think you are right on this one.
The more hardline, anti-SF, anti-Nationalist tripe they spout, the more determined nationalists will be to keep on voting. It feels like a death cry from unionism from what I hear.

I generally don't listen to it, it happened to be on for a time this morning in the office. It was interesting that when he tried to get both Mike Nesbitt and Nuala Mcallister to point the finger at SF both refused to confirm that Byrne was saying that SF made a threat.
The debate on the PSNI's future direction may only be starting and perhaps 15 years too late. But it needs to examine the culture that makes it uncomfortable for most serving Catholic Officers and how that needs to change to reflect the diversity of NI society. But as I have said previously our community needs to be more whole hearted in it's support for Catholic's who join the police and SF need to lead that.

You have to laugh at people like Trevor Clarke, do literally nothing for months and months, and then out on the tv making big statements.  A complete amateur chancer acting the big man overseeing people in professional life.  And no better on any side. Complete bunch of bluffers.
