A giggle a day

Mark Devenport | 21:50 UK time, Thursday, 26 July 2007

DUP Antrim Councillor Mel Lucas might be in trouble with his party after accusing his local MP Willie McCrea of betraying the voters. But if the internal disciplinary proceedings lead to his dismissal, and if he doesn't then turn all his attentions to the new dissident unionist party promised a few weeks back by Ballymena Councillor Robin Stirling, then perhaps Mel could have a future in advertising. Speaking on Good Morning Ulster, he said "we were promised a battle a day, but instead what we have got is a giggle a day". It was meant as an insult but I am sure the Executive coud adopt it as a Stormont school motto, along the lines of "A giggle a day keeps the direct rulers away". Perhaps our multi lingual Culture Minister Edwin Poots could translate that into Irish, for everyone's benefit.

Hopefully Mel Lucas and Jim Allister will form an opposition party to the Dup/Sf alliance. Offering the regular 5 8 person an open honest reliably leadership promoting allegiance to the Ulster people who now want to wash their hands of what we have since elected to Stormont.
