Our Euro Laureate
I was listening to Good Morning Ulster playing a snatch of Cliff Richard's memorable ditty this morning
"Christmas time, Mistletoe and Wine, Children singing Christian rhyme".
It's a lyric which still has the undeniable power to stop you in your tracks for all the wrong reasons. But I think our Traditional Unionist MEP Jim Allister could be running the lyricist close.
Earlier this week he reacted to the rejection of a demand for lower corporation tax with "Varney explodes devolution Blarney".
Now the Eurosceptic MEP is arguing that the EU anthem should not be called "Ode to Joy" but "Code to Destroy".
Move over Andrew Motion
Its time for your rhyme to desist
The object of our devotion
Is Jim, the traditional unionist...
I'm

He could turn out to be better entertainment than Jim Shannon.
I think Jim Allister is nothing more than a clown. Someone needs to have a word in his ear on how to handle himself in public. This showed with his interview yesterday regarding the fish quota. Instead of being a politician called Jim A he should be a game show host called Jim B. B for Bowen. Yes that is right folks Bowen. Next time we see Jim on screen Bully will walk along the bottom of the screen spelling out "Devolution to stay"
Mark:
I know you wished us 'bloggers' a Happy Christmas quite a while ago.
I would like to return the greeting to you and all your regulars, especially RJ; Susie Flood; Mizpah; Bedd Gelert (and sorry if I have missed anyone out).
Enjoy the holidays and thanks for keeping me up-to-date on 'all things politics'
