The DUP and UUP have both rejected the Haass proposals. The theo-unionists DUP have sold out the moderate and capitulated to the mad-men (my post here, 'Stop Appeasing Fanatacism'). Now they want to establish another working group of futility and despair. The UUP have summarily dismissed the Haass document. Full stop.
You can read the DUP response of waffle and wind here. UUP leader Mike Nesbitt gave us a 5 line press release here that tells us nothing. This is intolerable. The moral eunuchs at Stormont owe it to us to transparently and robustly defend their rejection of Haass. However, from the Sunday Politics Show we do know that Mike and his party will have nothing to do with Sinn Fein playing with the term "victim" and rejecting "terrorist."
This is what I want to look at today.
