Re the suspension of the Assembly: the view I got from a middle class unionist recently in Bangor was that "the Protestants" only accepted the GFA very reluctantly and as time passed came to believe that they had been conned, that "all the concessions went to SF", that every time there is a big negotiation SF MUST get something out of it, that a United Ireland is therefore creeping in by degrees. Another thing that really angered him was Protestant applicants to the PSNI being turned down automatically because they were, I can't remember the precise phrase, but it was something like "unfortunately not a member of the correct religious group". While equalisation, or near equalisation, in the police had to come, many Protestants nevertheless still find such bluntness hard to accept. (SF MLAs speaking Irish in the Assembly was a more minor, but nevertheless real, niggle). What do you think, Ireland.
