Lunatic batters down the asylum gates

Northern Irish politics has always had more than its fair share of lunatics and madmen but I have to congratulate the loyalist lunatic, Michael Stone, for his absurd attempt on Friday to derail the current attempts to restate the devolved government. Anyone that can make Ian Paisley appear normal is a true genius!

It would seem that even his former friends at the UDA (Ulster Defence Association) thought he was dangerously unsettled and sent out four hit squads to prevent him from getting to Stormont. Showing their true ineptness they failed and only the unarmed security guards prevented him from bombing Gerry Adams and others.

Interesting a current Google news search for "michael stone" returns 1,060 hits, a search for "michael stone" + paramilitary returns 395 hits whilst a search for "michael stone" + terrorist returns only 10 and one for "michael stone" + terror only returns 6.

In contrast "gerry adams" + terrorist gets 252 hits.
