The Lion in Winter

Martina Purdy Martina Purdy | 15:52 UK time, Monday, 9 February 2009

I'm back at last...and so one wonders is the ice age?

The creative people who run the Stormont blog have put up a new image for Stormont today. They used a snow covered image of one of the decorative lions on the front of Parliament Buildings.

Is that a DUP lion frozen over - so soon after Ian Paisley, former leader and First Minister, declared an end to the ice age in north-south relations. It seems the freeze is back - with today's DUP motion demanding a rethink on north-south bodies.

Anyway, speaking of the weather, Sammy Wilson is insisting that climate change is linked to factors such as a the sun and is not man made. So he's not showing a Labour government advert which attempts to encourage fuel efficiency to tackle global warming.

Still he insists is he an environmentalist - perhaps that why he is against the ad? The couple featured, observed one wag, have three kids. Hardly in line with fears of a global population explosion.
