That Cenotaph motion
Congrats to 
Belfast City Council on passing that motion to invite an Irish Gov't rep to the cenotaph. Sinn Féin blew this call. The vision of a future Sinn Féin-led Ireland you convey by this sort of pettiness is one where ceremonies like that at the cenotaph are driven to the margins. This is the central event of the year in terms of Ulster Prod identity, and I'm very glad it's Remembrance Sunday and not The Twelfth. If you are not aware of this, time to redo the unionist engagement. You of course have the right not to participate but that doesn't legitimise actively getting in the way.
