A Good Question



At the young journalist's funeral service, Father Martin McGill asked why it took the cowardly murder of Lyra McKee to unite Northern Ireland's political leaders. 

 
If you ask me, the best tribute that could be paid to Lyra would be for the local community in Derry to restate its opposition to violence and drive out the paramilitary thugs.

And for the political parties in North Ireland to step up to the plate by getting the Government and the Northern Ireland Assembly back up and running.

Murderers Masquerade as Freedom Fighters (20/04/19)



Following the murder of a young woman journalist, Lyra McKee, in Derry on Thursday night the Revolutionary Irish Republican Party released the following statement.


If you ask me, hiding behind these cowardly, deluded, nauseating words is a gang of self-appointed, sociopaths masquerading as Irish freedom fighters.

So let's hope the community unites to bring these cowards and their supporters to justice.

Now that we're a month away from the month formerly known as June, we can think about what's happened. Given the new events being rolled out in London, Manchester and across the States, I think this sums up the *erm* transition of Pride.

So here's the issue - two Glasgow MSPs (Nicola Sturgeon and Humza Yousaf) have been asked a reasonable question about their use of public money to employ two SNP councillors who already have full-time, salaried jobs as senior elected members of Glasgow City Council.   But these two public servants (both long-serving ministers) refuse to answer, so what to do next? One regular reader suggests raising the matter on the floor of the Scottish Parliament which is a good idea, but requires an MSP who's prepared to put down a written question for Scottish Ministers to answer.
