WITH TUV leader Jim Allister announcing he plans to stand in the North Antrim constituency at the next Westminster election, it was perhaps inevitable that the old lion, Ian Paisley Snr, would come out with a typical growl and pithy soundbite.
Dr Paisley said that his former party colleague was "very welcome to come and get a hiding in North Antrim".
Allister, in turn, claimed Paisley’s election challenge as ‘hollow’.
In other words, both sides are saying “bring it on”!
So, in the interests of a real poll, at the Westminster election, should all the other parties stand aside so we can get this all over with once and for all and forget the phoney war of fragmented unionism?
This would at least keep the pundits, bloggers and correspondents busy for a wee while we all return to reality.
