In between rediscovering that my desk is made of wood rather than combined mounds of paper I have had time to check the locals and it appears Northern Ireland's journos just keep on giving. Neither is there a continuing vendetta against the Irish News as today's offender is Liam Clarke, the political editor of the Belfast Telegraph. He claims:
"David Ford is considering resigning as Justice Minister in response to Sinn Fein and DUP plans to scrap the Department of Education and Learning."
Such a move by Ford would seem premature on the basis no such department exists with perhaps John O'Dowd wondering why Ford is making such threats.

Liam Clarke's grasp of basic facts is appalling. My personal favourite was his prediction in the Newsletter, after nominations closed, that the DUP might take 4 seats in East Belfast in 2003. With their 3 candidates.
He got paid to write that.
