I have my clock radio set to turn on with the Radio New Zealand National news service each morning. It is the Radio Ulster or Radio 4 type news for NZ and is probably the best service here.
This morning I woke to hear a female northern irelander accent trying to justify the removal of a statue in Limavady. For about 90 seconds, I thought I was listening to Radio Ulster and then I woke up and realised where I was...
The woman, a little irelander ( Sinn Fein ) councillor from Limavady was trying to argue her case with an NZ interviewer and not being very successful. Apart from the broad accent, the argument was not very good. She could not convince the interviewer how a 14 year old boy who left Limavady could be threatening to the people there today.
Later at work, my boss asked me about the story.... he had heard the interview too. He could not understand half the interview due to the broad accent and wanted to know how a 14 year old boy could be so senior in the Orange Order and what was dangerous about a grand master....
Little do the little irelanders realise what they are doing... I am sure visits from New Zealanders to Limavady or Northern Ireland are not being encouraged by such a public row...
This week started with New Zealand burying their most famous citizen, Sir Edmund Hillary. It ended with little irelanders villifying another of their famous citizens on national radio....
.... well done Sinn Fein
