    I met this guy once.

    I had to laugh aloud when I read that he was appointed Culture Minister last week

    I think that it is fair to say that the paiselyite Unionists are among the most ignorant and useless people in Western Europe. It certainly raises questions about those who vote for them.

    Those stupid dissedent Republican parties are even worse. Northern Ireland nationalists, however, do not vote for them, but unionists have no problem voting for the DUP.

    Sure your party is in coalition with this cretin and his party. You all play your parts in the great sectarian charade at Stormont and make the odd, very wee protest for appearances sake.

    Don't give out, walk out.

    If the PRM had any principles or desire to rescue their credibility they would cease furthering the British agenda and end the charade.
