Quote of the day

Two for the price of one from Tom Elliott.

9th September. Flip:

We need discipline. We need to stop washing our dirty linen in public. We need to stop and think things through before we press the send button on the computer.

10th September. Flop:

Now Mr. Elliott believes Mr. McCrea should be disciplined immediately for his personal comments.

"It wouldn’t be up to me but I think with issues like that, yes, he should be dealt with. What I would like is that, perhaps, he loses the party whip for a period."

Basil McCrea is speaking to the South Belfast UUP constituency association at the Belvoir Community Centre tonight; should be a lively meeting.
