  1. The first case in I love you Phillip Morris. That is how I imagine @secretfireworks, @Rafferty343 and I will resolve our first cases.
  2. @CB_PRandPA Cracking turn of phrase!
  3. @pmynes She does indeed. One of the really likeable characters in the Assembly as well.
  4. Michelle Gildernew looks different. Almost didn't recognise her there! #StormontToday
  5. @JamieMackrell Ha! Jim's full of funny character twists.
  6. @JamieMackrell Except for the Battle of the Boyne!
  7. @WHITTonTWITT @alanlaw Absolutely! It's all the rage in political circles to fix labels like that though.
  8. How does Sammy Wilson justify this notion of a "lost generation" to foreign investors when he's selling our "highly skilled workforce"?
  9. How dare anyone condemn a generation as a write off? Stop the rot and refuse to accept that you're worthless #SpotlightNI
  10. @JamesHughes89 @DVATW Most members of the spotlight audience are phoned and asked about their personal views the week before.
  11. @DeanMolyneaux The system allows that to happen though. Criticism was levelled at that rather than the judge.
  12. @DeanMolyneaux Both are to blame. The judiciary are utterly failing to enforce some sort of burden of proof on scandalous defence statements
  13. Hmmm, to watch spotlight or not?
  14. @DeadbeatMum I'd agree with you. There seems to be no burden of proof, you can make scandalous suggestions about anyone as you see fit.
  15. @NWMcNickle If there's any juncture where we face a good decision or a bad one, you can be sure our political masters will choose the latter
  16. @NWMcNickle Agreed! I'm working on a project about it at the moment. So many want to work as well.
  17. @gerrylynch @nwmcnickle I'd like to see a skid pan element, like Scandinavian countries. So many don't know how to deal with wet/icy roads
  18. @NWMcNickle I can't believe any judicial system would allow the evidence and questioning that they're allowing. Absolute disgrace.
  19. To those asking why Jim Allister is on spotlight rather than others- read Hansard and his contribution to debates.
