Politicians clash over hunger strike film
Strange that Mr. Campbell wasn't on the airwaves after Rangers 'fans' wrecked Manchester and almost killed a police officer. Campbell is simply playing politics with this issue. Whether he likes it or not, Bobby Sands is revered throughout the island
of Ireland by the Nationalist community. The time is right to debate the legacy of the hunger strikers, led by Bobby Sands. Campbell and his unionist cronies insist that we respect their history and their tradition, yet they fail to recognise that the hunger strikers played a pivotal role in our history. Their defiance inspired a generation, not just a generation of violence but a generation who stood up to British tyranny in their own way.

Raytheon looking at Derry future

Good Riddance! Let the free market fundamentalists of this world froth at the mouth, but let this be the beginning of the end of Raytheon globally. Instead, let state subsidies support sustainable jobs in Derry. Some co-operative business seed money? A plant for developing computer-based teaching aides for autistic children? A specialist cancer treatment and research centre for the north west of Ireland?

Would the NF not need permission under copyright to use images of the sculpture?

'Not unusual to see UFOs' - says Planetarium Director

Do you not think that if we were being visited by alien life that their technology is way more advanced than ours? They could use worm holes to travel millions of miles in seconds. Only a hundred years ago we were learning to fly and now we can travel faster than the speed of sound. What are we going to be like in another hundred years?

UFO 'spotted' in Derry

They definitely have good taste. Appearing over the Prehen Woods and hovering there for a while. What a beautiful part of the city. Definitely know where to stop and have a scope around. Smart guys. Probably checking out the red squirrel community or possible landing site for a future visit. They're welcome anytime. Of course no blue bags or drinking in public.

I have said before it was me in my time machine. Just checking out the price of diesel in the future in Killea, and if Chelsea wins the European Championship. I can't tell what I have seen as it may disrupt the time continuum fabric.

Things are getting strange, I'm starting to worry. This could be a case for Mulder and Scully.

Phil 'flattered' by Donegal honour

Dear Mr. Coulter, thank you for the music. Note that my wife has it on in her Celtic-themed Hairdressing salon in Naxxar on this Mediterranean island of Malta.
