What a weekend! Conservatives lose local elections;Linfield lost to Cliftonville; Manchester City win; at least Arsenal won!!

What has happened to English Grammar in England? Seems to be only spoken in Scotland; Wales; and Northern Ireland. Just heard a presenter on GB News say ‘if I was him’!!! Try ‘if I were he’!!!! Do they no longer teach grammar in English schools?

Trust Boris to seize the publicity! He deliberately turned up at the polling station without proper identity.

So we are not governed by the democratically elected MPs but by Civil Servants and now the media is trying to govern us by campaigning for a change in leadership of the Conservative Party.

Easton for North Down to ensure that the people of Bangor; Holywood; etc are represented in our National Parliament by a pro U.K. MP!!

Look out for a further betrayal by the English Conservatives of Northern Ireland’s position as part of the U.K.!!

I very much regret to say this, as one who negotiated the Belfast Agreement, but unionists should collapse devolution at Stormont if HMG agreed to passport controls between GB and NI ie within the U.K.

Collins should now withdraw as a candidate in North Down as he has been exposed as a political idiot. North Down has an experience of electing independent minded MPs and not members of the UUP!

As an elector in London I had always voted Conservative but this time I will vote Reform UK as the Conservatives agreed for a border within the United Kingdom. The Conservative Party has betrayed the people of Northern Ireland!

Premier League now between Manchester City and Liverpool

Clearly the violent Celtic supporter had to be removed from the fight.I assume it was before ‘take off’ and not after ‘landing’

So 10 members of the UN Security Council vote for Palestine Membership of the UN and only 2 members abstain. Shamefully 1 is the United Kingdom which a few nations still misname as being Britain!(including France!)

The way ahead in the Middle East is a two state solution with an independent Palestine as a full member of the United Nations on the basis of both Palestine and Israel recognising each other.Shame on the USA exercising a veto to block Palestinian Membership of the UN.

Not one of the MLAs for Newry/Armagh has requested a meeting with the Minister responsible for Roads to discuss the delay in construction of the 2 By Passes around Armagh City. The land was acquired over 30 years ago. Sinn Fein is failing the people of Armagh City!!

Rishi Sunak is a reliable Prime Minster who is factual!

Time the Leaders of Iran and Israel displayed a little Christianity towards each other before they start uncontrolled chaos!

Iran and Israel have ‘cracy’ leaders. I fear both could use nuclear weapons!!

Great News in today’s Ulster Gazette that the former Chapter 5 Restaurant in The Moy, Co Tyrone is about to reopen!!

Presumably the high rates in Armagh City are due in part to pay an officer at ABC Council to promote tourism in the City. Time the press checked what was done in the past year as local councillors have not!
