Marty,

thanks. We try to carry on in the tradition of The Blanket and allow free inquiry. I like the Newt too but think he called it wrong here. The decision to censor him at the BBC was abominable. I have always liked the Irish News but for the world of me why it continues with Jim Gibney as a columnist defies reason. It was evident from the first few pieces that he was hopeless. I would have no problems with a Shinner writing for the paper but he should at least be able to write. The problem with Gibney is that while he actually can write his column is one that seems to be written by a committee. Now, a column written by a committee is like a dance designed by one: robotic and dull

Belfast Bookworm,

Barney may as well talk to the brick wall when it comes to encouraging SF to bring dissidents in out of the cold or listen to the wider republican people.

That sums it up. Their temperamental inability to have dissent precludes inclusion as an option.

Feel te love, Thanks. We try our best.

Congratulations Anthony,it s the end result of hard work and the willingness to allow people to have their say however obnoxious,the secret behind the TPQ is there is no secret open and frank.its a formula that works fairly well here and if the honesty and openness was reflected in those our society as a whole we would have a better and fairer system of government here and those carpetbaggers in power would be long consigned to the bins. Newton Emersons cloumn,s are about one of the few reasons I buy the Irish News,he usually is on the ball ,but I think he called it wrong on the Brush story..

Anthony; what do all those 0's translate to? A million? My maths is terrible.

Congratulations!!

You'll have the advertisers after you soon!

Newton,

Excellent piece in this week's Sunday Times. Placed the Wilson arrest into context and poured some much needed extinguishant unto the Sinn Fein 'bush fire'.

Alas, enjoyment comes at a price. The realisation that the theme music of Hawii Five-O is not providing the mood music to the deliberations of a disgruntled group of 'securorats' is somewhat disheartening. I had greatly warmed to the idea, provided by Gerry Kelly, of the existence of Detective Lieutenant Steve McGarrett like figures within the PSNI issuing instructions to "Book 'em Dano".

Shit Newton you scared us!! Jumping out like that!...

Typical journalist, in the past you lot searched bins for scraps of information, today you search the web.

Well done Mackers. Not surprised in the least.

TPQ has just recorded its 1,000,000th page view. This piece by Martin probably brought us over the line
