Will the DUP agree to transfer of policing and justice before SF's christmas deadline

I would advise against passing on information about such groups.

Me too

I don't have any such information in any case. I don't associate with 'republican activists'. I don't want the police knowing my business!

Possibly because you are pro union eh

[picador]

Nah. I just can't be bothered with all that conspiratorial crap. And like I said I don't want the police knowing my business

So you see republicanism as conspiratorial crap but are pro unification. But ya dont want the peelers knowing what you`re up to ?

You must be part of that good MI5 merle was talking about. Good to have yas on board.

after todays statements by Martin McGuinness and DUP's David Weir, it seems there is no prospect for the devolution of P&J powers before christmas.
Are we about to see a collapse of the executive ?.

I don't think the DUP will collapse it, Next move is Sinn Feins, hard to know what they are going to do

Agree there ,M, they got SF to set a deadline, a mistake in terms of the fact that if you don't act you look weak, if you do ,your the ones who walked.
I personally think SF have to walk. Anything less and the unionists will have re-invoked the unionist veto and they will dig in on everything.
McGuinness was very clear in his statement this evening, and he has elevated this situation to a litmus test of unionism's commitment to the whole GFA experiment.
