Comment on No, no, no, no, no; we must not allow this! by harryaswell

Well done Mike, these frequent hate messages from Sinn Fein/IRA should always be challenged. The problems with our Republican friends are that they are unable to carry out their promises of peace, reconciliation and respect for the cultures of others. It has now transpired that all that guff about de-comissioning was also nothing but lies, as they have still kept weapons back, now being used by the Dissidents. Some hope of a United Ireland under those circumstances eh? So, who is kidding who here? Do they really believe that sectarionism and bigotry comes from one side only? Have all Unionists come up the Lagan in a soapy bubble? I really don’t think so.

Yes Mike, keep up the good work! Difficult times ahead for you I am sure, judging by the blinkered and foolish remarks posted elswhere. Some people are never satisfied. The point is not to get distracted from your plan. Many congratulations on your election anyway.

Congratulations again on your election. All your comments and statements that I have read contain a new direction in Unionism. When I lived in Northern Ireland (until 1971) Unionism was not a choice for people of my background. Now, it seems that you provide the choice. Lots of success for your attempts to reach out to those who formerly wouldn’t have gone anywhere near Unionism.

DEAR SIR,
YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TEMPERAMENT AND PERSONALITY FOR THE UUP LEADER’S JOB. AS YOUR WIFE HAS ALSO BEEN A SUCCESSFUL TV REPORTER YOU SHOULD THINK ABOUT BRINGING HER INTO THE PARTY AS A FUTURE MLA FOR STORMONT. SHE IS A WINNER I FEEL. YOU NEED A GIMMIC TO GAIN THE ATTENTION OF THE VOTERS IN N. IRELAND . THE COMBINATION OF McGUINNESS/ROBINSON IS A VOTE WINNER AND THE ULSTER PUBLIC LOVE IT. IF YOU GOT THE WIVES OF TOM ELLIOTT, DANNY KENNEDY, BASIL MCCREA AND YOURSELF TO ENTER THE POLITICAL ARENA THIS WILL PROVE TO BE A VOTE WINNER. REMEMBER THAT PETER ROBINSON CANNOT BRING HIS WIFE BACK INTO THE DUP SO IN THIS REGARD YOU ARE ONE UP. THE SLOGAN ‘A LOYAL WIFE IS A GREAT ASSET TO THE UUP.’ IS A GOOD ONE. IF THE DUP START MUD SLINGING YOU COULD ALWAYS SAY ‘I DON’T NEED SINN FEIN TO HOLD MY HAND.’

YOU SHOULD TRY TO GAIN SOME OF THE CREDIT FOR THE TITANIC QUARTER DEVELOPMENT AND SHOULD CONSIDER HOLDING A STREET PARTY FOR FAMILIES OF THE WORKERS WHO BUILT THE TITANIC AND WHO LIVED IN EAST BELFAST.

I want to echo all that has already been said above, and to congratulate you, Mike, on becoming Leader! At last! We may get away from grey men in grey suits! Well done indeed!

Congratulations Mike on becoming the new leader of the UUP – well done! This is a wonderful opportunity for you to bring the UUP into the 21st century and, like the amazing ‘Titanic Belfast’, you can help stimulate the positive future we have ahead of us all! Good luck!

Good luck and God bless on Saturday, Mike, whilst I don’t envy the gravity of the task ahead of you if you win, you nonetheless have, I believe what it takes to be a very effective leader of the UUP… and for the record, I hope the party becomes the official Opposition at Stormont, let’s get normal politics back to this wee place!
