reclaim michael reclaim. such a pity for you that your words on record isn't it?

Michael Mc Dowell will visit Belfast today, the 18th of April, to hold a meeting with the SDLP, and explore his succesful new slogan which he stole of the spanish anarchists "reclaim the republic".

He will also take advantage of the opportunity to meet with his UK equivalent (for despite his many thousands of words on the NI state it is not his jurisidiction) Mr Paul Murphy.

Mr Mc Dowell, it must be remember likes to talk big, and as time moves on, he's looking chubbier under the chin and losing that mercurial mind which brought him so much admiration at the Irish bar many years ago.

Indeed, the minister might have to field un-unusual questions, on certian "beyond a doubt" statements he rather prejudicely made in the last months.

that is the price of the ordeal, michael.

Mr Mc Dowell is hoping to boost the SDLP's chances in the forthcoming westminster elections.

How exactly he will do that, remains a mystery.

¿does he speak ulster?

¿will he remind the northerners who aren't republicans that they too can like he reclaim the republic and ignore the origin of the slogan and "ahem" the connection of his forebears in fighting to end that particular republic?

the Minister's staunch opposal to SF need not be explored here, he has in the last year seemed to help their increase in votes at the last by election in the Irish state, where indeed his fellow party candidate was dis-qualified and lost her deposit.

Can he do better for the SDLP?
sure it will all come out in the wash.

speeches and sundry other details will be updated in the comment box.
