| It is another grey Saturday, yet there have been fine wintry, sunny days this week - and temperatures fell below zero. The education minister Paul Givan writes for us today to say that the Christian faith will continue to influence religious teaching in Northern Ireland after the 'complex' Supreme Court ruling. But this letter writer says Christian leaders who have played down the judgement might seem to be capitulating. Talking of religion, a safeguarding watchdog has confirmed it is not auditing the Presbyterian Church in Ireland. Meanwhile, a UK guide to help street preachers in public places know their free speech rights has been launched. Free speech activists are among those who have followed a tribunal in which a woman claims her bosses provoked complaints about her because she was seen as "transphobic". My column is on the underwhelming Hallett coronavirus findings on the Bobby Storey IRA mass covid breach funeral. And these reports are from my interview with Lord (Charles) Powell, where he explains how Margaret Thatcher died regretting the Anglo Irish Agreement, but says the Brighton bomb did not scare her into the deal, and says unionist leaders behaved disgracefully towards the then prime minister. Lastly, this letter writer (an ex Ulster Unionist councillor) thinks it 'fanciful' to say a single unionist party will increase the unionist vote. Enjoy your weekend and your reading, Ben |
