Still living in state of servitude

THE dust will shortly settle on this presidential election.

Regardless of the outcome, the “holier than thou” attitude of the southern media, particularly its radio and TV stations, towards Stormont’s Deputy First Minister must leave a bitter aftertaste in the mouths of the Northern electorate. Perhaps there is nothing new in this for nationalists. But, for the Unionist people, there was a clear and unambiguous message: you may engage in the process of reconciliation with the main representatives of the nationalist people, but we have no such intention.

Whatever the impression given by the most strident among them, the southern media is far from pacifistic in matters of physical force.
