To some, what constitutes a warship normally involves some illogial connection to actually having been involved in a war, or missiles. The same would be the type to say we don't have an army, we have a "defense force" (sic).For now, everything hangs on implementation of the CoDF report.

Also GTTC's point about the DUP and fisheries...again, with respect way off the mark.
They've probably done more lobbying on behalf of NI fishermen than any of the rest of our elected politicians.
My humble opinion is that this whole sorry episode was a case of a sledgehammer being used to crack a nut...at least the Magistrate had the decency to show some courtesy and common sense.'History is a vast early warning system'. Norman Cousins

The failure to reopen Stormont isn't the DUP's though. SF collapsed the Assembly. The military commander(according to the San Francisco Mayor London Breed) Martin McGuiness.
