Arti, you usually post about such weighty things as X-factor and I'm a celebrity- judging by your comment here I reckon you're better off in your usual topics because I'm not sure the world is ready for your incisive perceptions on the problems of my home land- but if you insist might I suggest you go straight to the horse's mouth and go and have a drink in the Falls Road and mention your suggestion there so they can act on it;-)

Whilst you're on a roll, could you have a quick word with Hamas and the Israelis - they're a bit stuck for a solution too ..

I apologise for my flippancy. I'd had a bad day and saw an item on the news about the Union flag not being flown every day. I thought about the time, when I was a child, when some of my cousins and auntie came to visit from N Ireland, filled with hate against Catholics. I asked my auntie why Catholics were 'bad'. 'Because they are Catholics' was the only answer she could give me. I do understand, now, the deep feelings that run, on both sides, but I just find it incredibly sad that so many children are brought up with hatred; not just in N Ireland, but many places around the world.
