Puppet
first minister of the six counties in the north of
Ireland is at it again! David Trimble has once again
threatened to resign his puppet position and go home
a poor sport if he does not get his way from his masters
in London. Poor David, he is like the boy who continues
to cry wolf and his tactics are getting a little stale.
Trimble is no real leader and does not have the courage
to resign and stand on his own. If by chance he found
the fortitude to do so, the Brits would have another
lackey in his place in an instance. Trimble`s huff
and bluff and stammering sectarianism makes him a
likable person to some in the North but I would speculate
the Irish the world over see him as a buffoon and
a Orange relic. I am kind of surprised the Brits have
not dumped him. Heck he can not even run a Brit police
state colony effectively!
Then
again, maybe David Trimble has got every one fooled
and sees that the Stormont Agreement is unworkable
and not the solution he seeks and will jump a sinking
ship like a rat. In the end who really cares? The
vacuum of power will be picked and filled and nothing
much will change. A Provo, SDLP and Alliance party
coalition would not be to unrealistic, it worked in
Belfast. In the end it all boils down to until the
Brit partitionist governments surrender power to the
Irish people for Irish interests and the colonial
occupation and capital stranglehold of Ireland continues
no real Irish peace can be achieved.
