Our wonderful Prime Minister, Gordon Brown, flies to Northern Ireland today to use “his negotiation skills as well as his wallet” to bring harmony between the IRA and DUP, currently bickering with each other over the timing of devolution of policing and justice powers.
Now then, I notice that this article finishes with the suggestion by Shaun “Where’s my butler” Woodward that US firms are queued up to create jobs once this element of devolution has been implemented. This is pure political spin and yet the BBC chooses to finish the item with it so leaving the reader with the impression that it is vital that this act takes place as soon as is possible. In doing so, the BBC aligns the story with the Irish republican position. Plus ca change.
