• Long Way Down

  
  The Pensive Quill — Authority: 411
  There are few things that sum up the failure of the Provisional IRA campaign more definitively than the recent call by one of its former leaders for people to inform on those republicans still wedded to the notion of armed struggle. It is not an isolated action but one that slots in neatly to the current mode in Sinn ...

• The Deputy.

  
  The Pensive Quill — Authority: 411
  When is a deputy not a deputy? It is like one of the old riddles we often posed while kids, believing the puzzle to contain some great mystery. The answer on this occasion has more of the ridicule than the riddle about it: the deputy is not a deputy when he is a deputy first minister. When Simon Hamilton of the DUP ...

  Irish Left Review — Authority: 431
  Let’s think happy thoughts for a brief while because much else is… well, less than happy. So, here’s something that cheered me up at least a bit and it’s a point that is rarely touched on by commentators more concerned with the jockeying for position of the larger centre right political parties.
