    Or in the case of most politicians in the UK & Ireland they end in failure because they get caught with their hands in the cookie jar or snouts in the trough in some shape or form be it with housing developers, large companies, expenses, ...........

    Looks like the funeral passed off peacefully. He was buried in Co Down (Ballygowan) which surprises me as he was from Co Armagh but spent most of his adult life in Co Antrim.

    Maybe the Baroness has family connections there? After all he told us she was the real boss in his TV interview

    Or maybe not many Free Presbyterian churches have their own burial ground

    To be fair I didn't see the poster "dictating" just asking a question. I think the number of posts is irrelevant. Just because some choose to post and others don't is no reflection on one's right to post - or is it? Have I missed something in the rules?

    That's an interesting post from a relative "newbie", very interesting indeed.
