More stunning weather is forecast this week over the Twelfth celebrations, which get under way this weekend in Donegal. The first bonfires were lit last night. As usual, we will have a print supplement after Monday's main Twelfth parades. Festivities will continue to Tuesday in Scarva, where police are warning about traffic. The shock and horror at the apparent murder of Ann Widdecombe has been shared in Northern Ireland. I am sorry that Djokovic did not win Wimbledon because it would have been a stunning feat at 39. Fingers crossed for England later. My main column is on how the generation that prevented civil war in NI, men like Ronnie Appleton and Alan McQuillan, is passing on, and with them the truth. Prince Harry lost a major legal action against the Mail newspaper. We say he has disgraced himself. Jeff Dudgeon again tackles BBC bias, explaining how he was dropped from a radio slot in which he planned to defend Donald Trump.
Johnny McCambridge covered the Jeffrey Donaldson trial. He reflects on that uncomfortable experience here.
Enjoy your weekend and your reading, Ben |
