Should a Right-wing, reforming government gain power at the next election, it will face the full resistance of the Blob. The 2023 ousting of Dominic Raab is instructive in how this will run, says Dr David McGrogan.

Political Conjugations Sat Dec 20, 2025 07:00 | James Alexander
Everyone assumes that words have straightforward meanings. Philosophers because they want them to and politicians because they need them to. But the first law of politics is that words are ambiguous, says James Alexander.

Jump To Comment: 2 1This news article would be much more informative if some some substantial facts were included. It may not be appropriate in the interests of privacy to mention the name of the college pupil in question but facts such as the date the President came to visit (16th of October if anyone is interested) would make this article more newsworthy.
Reporting what staff members are driving what makes of fancy car and some sort of proof as to how they nefariously diverted school money into their own private coffers would give the allegation more credibility. Maybe it's all legit and on record from Minister McGuinness' department in which case it could have been researched and information on the amount of funding the shcool received and how it was spent could have been included in the article. As the story stands, it's in danger of being hidden under the unsubstantiated allegation editorial guideline. I'd also point out that using a name that is abusive towards the late Basil McIvor doesn't help the credibility of the fancy cars allegation.
It would also help many readers to explain that BELB stands for Belfast Education & Library Board and that SELB stand for Southern Education and Library Board. Finally, a picture of the "makeshift mobile classrooms and mud, surrounded by electricity pylons" could make this a really good news article. It would certainly contrast strongly with the positive image painted by the school's own website.
Who is it that has such a beef about Lagan college and why.
