| It rained briefly but torrentially in Belfast yesterday evening, having been changeable all week, as it has been all week. The village of Gracehill, one of Northern Ireland's most beautiful, has been given the rare honour of Unesco world heritage status. Ireland's decision to reform its libel laws, which are draconian, is belated but very welcome given the outrageous costs of defending defamation cases south of the border. The government has done this partly because of Sinn Fein's recourse to libel threats. Last week I wrote about the 50th anniversary of the Turkish invasion of Cyprus. Lord Kilclooney (John Taylor) did not like me using the phrase. He talks here about his long association with Northern Cyprus. Ken Maginnis also speaks of having had a home there. Owen Polley wrote on Monday about the IFA 'giving cover' to the GAA for its Casement demand. Here is Dr Esmond Birnie challenging the claims that it would bring in vast sums of money in the Euros. And the IFA is also being criticised for expanding its anti discrimination rules in ways that might penalise banter. My column is on the Trump v Kamala contest, neither of whom has much interest in Britain let alone Northern Ireland. Finally, here is drone footage of Belfast's new Grand Central Station. Enjoy your reading and your Saturday, Ben |
