Did it kick off in omagh last night?

Nothing too serious in the end up. One arrest for criminal damage. Roads blocked and the cops stood around and let them

Ulster Unionist trio want Basil McCrea disciplined

The UUP's three Belfast councillors are demanding Basil McCrea be disciplined over his support for the flying of the union flag on designated days only.

David Browne, Jim Rodgers and Bob Stoker have told their party leadership they are considering their position if action is not taken against Mr McCrea.

Mr McCrea was interviewed on BBC Radio Ulster on Friday morning.

He said the flying of the union flag is a matter for Belfast council but agrees it should fly only on designated days.

The council veterans believe Mr McCrea, a Lagan Valley MLA, has contradicted party leader Mike Nesbitt and is not upholding the party's constitution in support of the union.

Mr Stoker said he and his council colleagues are seriously considering their position and want the party to deal with Basil McCrea as a matter of urgency.

Another source told the BBC that the councillors felt others had been dealt with ruthlessly while Mr McCea was an unguided missile who had been let off.

In a statement the UUP said: "Mike Nesbitt made the Ulster Unionist party`s position absolutely clear on Thursday.

"There is a fundamental issue regarding the chipping away of people's identity as British citizens.

"No doubt Basil McCrea's interview will be brought up when the party executive meet tomorrow."

Only for the cold, this has a ring of the Drumcree protests about it.


Good job the nights are cold and long and red diesel is expensive and the farmers hadn't a good year.

Otherwise the tractors would be out.

It is working out better for the DUP than they could have hoped. Alliance squeezed in East Belfast now the UUP imploding before they  can take advantage.

Very unlike them, they used to love being out at night-time after the ploughing in their ruc reserve and udr reserve uniforms harassing their nationalist neighbours... But, ah, the ruc and udr are no more, and the butcher's apron looks to be heading the same way, maybe somebody should tell em!
