    Afterall if we can produce some of the best 11plus, GCSE and A Level results in the UK,

    You would never believe that was true when you see what the education minister has butchered.........
    What if the Hokey Pokey really is what it's all about !!!
  • Sammy Wilson is such a moron! As if helping people to save energy and save money could do anybody any harm!!!
  • The sooner the Religion is taken out of Politics the better is what it all boils down to in N.Ireland.

    Couldn't agree more. I'd class myself as agnostic (having been raised a Christian) but don't got forcing my morals and opinions on others like the current crop of "religious" politicians. Religion and Politics should NEVER mix and the sooner we get to that stage, the better off we'll be.
  • Not Just Sammy Wilson... Anybody hear the interview on Radio Ulster this morning with Mervyn Storey.. OH MY GOD or should I say DARWIN!!.

    I'm honestly ashamed to be from Northern Ireland...

    CAN ALL POLITICIANS PLEASE STOP GETTING INVOLVED WITH ISSUES THAT THEY KNOW ABSOLUTLY NOTHING ABOUT... IF YOU'VE NOTHING GOOD TO SAY.. KEEP QUIET..

    I'm not saying people can't have their views but it's how they protray them on Radio or TV that makes them sound like complete idiots.. Don't push your beliefs on other people... If the Ulster Museum want to put on a display about Darwin.. so be it.. but don't get all Holy Joe and insinuate God created man from the Dirt (LITTERALLY).
    I'm not saying I don't believe in God/Some Superior Thing. (Whatever you want to call it.. but I really think a lot of these Bible Bashers are taking the word of the Bible Too Literally... I would read it to mean Man was created from the Earth.. Over Millions of years.. Not In a day!!

    (Sorry Don't mean to offend anyone.. just my view.. And at least I didn't go on TV or radio to make an !!! of myself)


    I see this same Eeeeeeeeeegit now also wants an alternative version of events to be presented at the new visitor centre at the giants causway to suggest that the Causway is only a few thousand years old as opposed to the 500 million or so!! Yeah and the dinosaurs died of 3000 years ago...

    OH MY GOD!!!.. ARE THESE PEOPLE FOR REAL????
  • Alas if all of our politicians only spoke about what they knew about there would be no government at all. Although whether than would be a good or a bad thing I couldn't possibly say.
