Airstrip One

Looks like poor David Trimble is about to be chucked out of his position of power. My feelings on this are split. On the one hand I think that Trimble is a decent man on the other the peace process is a farce which tries to paper over the fact that Northern Ireland has two mutually antagonistic tribes both of whom will be deeply unhappy if the other rules them. But our leaders, responsible as always, have decided that there should be "no plan B". Back to the drawing boards?
