| It is a grey day in greater Belfast, but will be enlivened by the various Irish Guards events that are taking place to celebrate the Micks' 125th anniversary. And there have been military fly-bys this weekend too. Next weekend it will be European Heritage Open Day - a chance to explore wonderful buildings and sites across Northern Ireland. Brian Barton is one of a number of brave historians who challenge increasingly entrenched myths about the past. In this essay he dismisses the notion that the Ulster Special Constabulary carried out a pogrom against Catholics. Here the moderate former Ulster Unionist Stormont minister and MLA Danny Kennedy has demanded that BBC Northern Ireland explain its appalling decision not to carry a report on the 50th anniversary of the IRA Tullyvallen massacre. And regarding the past, my essay this week is about the emerging UK surrender to an Irish state that has had the sheer nerve to sue Britain on legacy. Ruth Dudley-Edwards is on the NI advisory board of the Free Speech Union, as indeed am I. Here is her defence of the courageous comedian Graham Linehan. Enjoy your weekend and your reading, Ben |
