I think he is fair and honest in his reporting and firmly has his finger on the pulse.

Indeed gentlemen he knows what he's at, furthermore I believe his father and mother had a pup from the same litter as my childhood dog. Honey they called it. Ah well, should I ever meet him in this life, we can share tales of adorable golden cocker spaniel puppies. :D

David Healey's parents had a pup from our Jack Russell bitch which I suppose would have been his childhood dog. I reckon the pup was about 4 years older than him.

Mallie really knows his stuff, he would have made a top class detective if he hadn't gone down the journalism route.

Don't need any links to realise someone was getting a siege of money for setting up a vastly undervalued deal, it's like most deals that the Clowns have had a say in, think airport, suggestion of harbour estate price, numerous other parcels of public\government land, on the other hand the MOD stitched them up like kippers with anything they gave them free and the clowns couldn't see that nothing is free and it costs more than actual value to clean those places up.

Rooster the evidence of people with an axe to grind should be treated with and taped evidence could be doctored or manufactured .

On that basis I withhold judgement

While at the same time politics is an unflushed toilet

Well from a couple of cases I personally know I have no doubt that Mr Graham is not telling porkies or tampering with evidence, Tis a big can of worms.

Not knowing the man I still reserve judgement when the tapes have been analysed is the time enough .

Because I am sure that the person being recorded would have been aware of that fact and therefore like the Mafia would be extremely careful of what would be said on the phone .

I once worked with a gentleman who would only arrange time and place on the phone on the basis he considered every phone and line was tapped

Just a thought that occurred to me, but I wonder have the UUP caught a whiff of NAMA related bother in the air for the DUP and decided to claim the Unionist high ground by walking out of the assembly?

I'd say it certainly played a part.

Nesbitt has set this up about as well as he can: his last couple of interviews on the matter have been very well executed (whatever the undoubted hypocrisy and opportunism of using this particular paramilitary flashpoint as his tipping point), and the capture of Jenny Palmer is excellent. If they run her in the Assembly election, she'll win a seat without a doubt - either at the expense of the DUP (win), or at the expense of Basil (win, arsehat).
It's the hope that kills you.

I love a good conspiracy theory! :twisted:








But is this a GOOD conspiracy theory?
