Fatal Blow For John Lewis Store At Sprucefield
This is the headline over a report on the BBC web site. It concerns the political arguments about John Lewis opening a department store in Northern Ireland.
Personally, I think they would be very brave to do it, given the stupid fuss being created by so-called Loyalists about the flying of flags.
The article does suggest John Lewis might open in the Republic. Now that would probably be a sounder business decision, as the only organised violence there generally happens at places like Croke Park and the Aviva Stadium.
How Much Would We Need To Pay the Irish To Take Northern Ireland Off Our Hands?
I’ve just heard yet another pointless argument on BBC Radio 5 about Northern Ireland.
Whatever we do, the situation seems to get worse and worse.
Now the argument is about flying the Union flag on Belfast City Hall.
Surely, as it’s the UK’s flag, then the UK should say who could fly it.
I just wonder how much the Irish government would need to rid us of our turbulent province?
They probably don’t want it either!
