A good three inches of snow fell last night and was still falling this morning. Gerlinde, our au pair, went out first thing to catch a bus and came back in again after twenty minutes, no bus having appeared. We had to explain to her about Captain Scott of the Antarctic.
It took me an hour and a half to drive to work, v e r y c a r e f u l l y. On the way Radio Netherlands interviewed me about President Trajkovski (via the handsfree phone). I see that both Reuters and Voice of America carried my comments this morning. And am waiting for a call back from the BBC.
You aren’t the only only one, but you are as equally wrong as they are. Unionist Unity is kicked far into the long grass, and if the AV system comes into play then any advantage it could bring is completely gone. As for the NI Conservatives, they brought down their own demise, and did more than any other group to undermine the UCUNF project (apart from whoever cam up with the name that is) their senior members calling for a ban on OO members being allowed to stand was the first of many spanners they threw in the works. Few will mourn their demise, in fact few will even know they have gone.
