Cardinal should step down

Communities need to look to the future

TUV MP is the best choice for South Antrim
Friday, 19 March 2010
David Cather (Write Back, March 16) believes that it is possible to be sick to one's stomach at Sinn Fein/IRA being in Government while at the same time being instrumental in republicans obtaining that position. It seems, therefore, that the DUP likes self-inflicted nausea.

UK being ruled by Brussels is just bananas
Friday, 19 March 2010
I REFER to an article in the Belfast Telegraph on March 3 entitled 'Europe is going bananas again, warns Nicholson', in which the MEP says that Spanish MEPs have tabled a motion to re-introduce legislation on misshapen fruit.

Cardinal's lack of Christianity
Thursday, 18 March 2010

Hang on to your education vision, Mike
Thursday, 18 March 2010
How disappointing that your report on the Ulster Unionist Westminster candidate Mike Nesbitt (March 13) chose to emphasise the negative rather than the positive aspects of his vision for the future of education in Northern Ireland.

Sexist attack was unfair and unjustified
Wednesday, 17 March 2010
I AM shocked at the sexism of Jane Graham's column on Carol Vorderman (March 12). On Question Time, Carol Vorderman was at times aggressive and did not listen enough to fellow panellists. She expressed views that Jane Graham did not agree with.

The Lord is his protector
Wednesday, 17 March 2010
Cardinal Sean Brady is a patently good man, to whom the words of Psalm 16 surely apply: "I keep you, Lord, ever in my sight. Since you are at my right hand, I shall stand firm".
