One of my readers asked today if I followed the BBC news. I read it every day among other world news web-sites. Sometimes I watch BBC World News on Sky to get a fix of good news reporting.
I see in the news that Ian Junior is now on a rural planning review committee in the Assembly... how ironic!!!! Putting the fox in with the chickens!!!!
In the New Zealand Herald today (and on their website) is an article on the antics in Limavady. We now live in a global village and the news travels fast. Removing a statue of William Massey (former prime minister of New Zealand) will not change (little) mind-sets.... but it might annoy some New Zealanders! I am sure they would be happy to have the statue.
By the way I live round the corner from the Parliament Buildings in Wellington during the week and there is a statue of another famous Northern Irelander NZ prime minister ( John Ballance from Glenavy) in the grounds... I do not think it bothered the Irish President when she visited the NZ Parliament last year!
Ballance has roads, streets and places named after him. Massey has a university which carries his name.
When will those little irelanders learn to respect and admire the achievements of their fellow countrymen????????????
