voice is worth a mass
political life in Northern Ireland probably has no equal. Here is one of the main information on the Tuesday: Peter Robinson, the prime minister, officially announced that it is willing to participate in Catholic Masses ... saints. For
order and explain why this news has made the world a little upset in the Six Counties. Well, Peter Robinson is the leader of the Democratic Unionist party - hard-right, lojalistycznego group that grew as a political party from the radical circles of the Protestant Church Free Presbyterian Church. It was founded in 1951, Ian Paisley - and this is a topic for a separate story. Here it is worth only a few critical information pdoać: Free Presbyterian Church professes quite orthodox, fundamentalist interpretation of the rules and even the Bible. It stands in sharp contrast to the church Roman - Catholic and somehow combines the religious beliefs of political views. The founder and leader, Ian Paisley, was for many years a leader of unionistycznego, chairman of the DUP, and also was head of the government of Northern Ireland. On the international fame in the mid-eighties, when the board of the European Parliament, which was a member was attacked in a fiery speech in Strasbourg visiting Pope John Paul II, calling him the antichrist.
Now it seems a little brighter, so the main newspaper of Northern Ireland found that Robinson's statement as The political news of the day. Of course, Robinson, trying to avoid an earthquake in their formation immediately explained that it is not for every Catholic Mass he meant, and certainly did not intend in any way to pray in Catholic churches.
"We have to be a party that has respect and understanding for all parts of our society," - Peter Robinson explained, adding that he is ready to participate in worship services, funerals of their dead colleagues and Catholic dignitaries. So far, none of the DUP leader did not participate in Catholic worship ever. When the last Cardinal died Cahal Daly, Arlene Foster, DUP ministers and Sammy Wilson went to Armagh, where funeral ceremonies were held, but by only condolences to the hierarchy. Did not participate in funeral ceremonies, or in the church, nor walked in kondukcie.
Robinson breaks so quite a significant barrier, but that does not cause shock in the conservative Protestant environment, which they claim - in accordance with religious doctrine - the Vatican as a hotbed of evil on earth, adds that there will of course be considered to participate in Mass as a prayer or an act worship. Further still says that of course will not be in this regard, no party discipline, is treated as a matter of his conscience and as an expression of respect for the person
. Later still reveals two secrets that surely will experience a strong echo in the Protestant communities in Northern Ireland: "I've been already in the Roman Catholic chapels on various occasions, but never for worship. I have also many, perhaps surprisingly many friends who are Catholics. " I recently
Robinson was photographed in a Catholic church in Belfast. However, there is no sensationalism here - At least from a rational point of view, say, Robinson guided the Church of the Holy. Belfast Malachi Prince Charles and showed him the progress of restoration works in this ancient temple in central Belfast. It was then that Robinson has talked about a new era in Northern Ireland. On the one hand, putting these theses at such events may even give rise to shock or amusement drugs, on the other hand it must be remembered that fifteen years ago this wizytapo just physically would not be possible without the participation of the army.
To date, moreover, religious divisions are very deep. Members of the Orange Order, a conservative Protestant organizations have a clear prohibition, and may be punished by their superiors for participating in a Catholic complexion, moniach. Robinson is not a member of OO, you should not also to any church., Although - as reported by the media - attend worship in the evangelical "mega-church," Metropolitan Tabernacle - which, as is also the subject for another story of the great devotions are conducted almost pattern of American preachers.
describing the whole matter with due esteem daily "Belfast Telegraph" would not be himself if the occasion does not put his little heels Republicans, asking when Martin McGuinness, the leader of the nationalist Sinn Feinn, decides in that case cited the participation of the funerals of soldiers of the British armed forces killed in Afghanistan or in a meeting with the royal family - which even in forum for this newspaper provoked ironic comments about the confusion between religion and personal beliefs with politics.
whole thing - apart from specific Northern Irish folklore, is the religious-political-ethnic - has its second bottom. Of course the elections are approaching. DUP lost - More precisely: that Robinson lost - in their stool bed, in the East Belfast seat in parliament at Westminster. Now the game goes on it will be like the local legislative assembly, and hence, who will act as prime minister. Unionist Movement is in crisis, according to the Catholic community demographic study is almost equal - if not larger - from the Protestant community, so you need to look beyond the so-called votes. Hard electorate. Moreover, there will be a good "shambles" election: DUP will be attacked for being too soft and submission by the orthodoxy of the Ulster Traditional Voice, and the square comes into play in addition the British National Party, which last week, just in East Belfast, in the yard nearly Robinson, held the first organizational meeting. Apparently quite enjoyed considerable attention. By May
sure yet heard in Northern Ireland a number of interesting statements. After all, the voice of voters is worth a mass.

Sample Letter Requesting A Price Reduction
Well, somebody bought the apartment, where George Best grew up. He went for just under 100,000, although more than two years ago exposed it for sale for 165,000 pounds. From the point of view the real estate market, it seems to me that even £ 100k is somewhat too much for a house.

house is not, in principle, but the three-room apartment (ie, three bedrooms, living room, kitchen, bathrooms) spread over two levels in czerwonoceglanym terrace from the 50s Twentieth century. I once talked about that in this house the museum to arrange a George Best. On the plans as yet to end. Until quite recently, this mural was painted at the beginning of Woodstock Road, mural, on which George Best greeted arriving in his neighborhood ... As the fifth anniversary of his death (25 November 2005), it is quite poorly with respect to the local legend ...
A Best might be the best player in history. Unfortunately, wasted talent and life in alcohol addiction. He was born May 22, 1946. My father worked in the yard, the mother in the cigarette factory. Little Georgie, though he grew up in rather modest circumstances - his mother struggled with alcoholism, had no problems with science. At the age of 11 years after the exams got to enjoying a high reputation Grosvenor High School. This, however, there is a problem. School sport was rugby, Georgie and from the moment when the only truly began to walk, he began to kick the ball. It soon moved to Lisnasharragh Secondary School, where he met again with colleagues from the "primary" and can concentrate on football.
ceglastoczerwone George was messing in the eastern wall of Belfast. As the months passed. Best Young decided to try to get to the local football club to see if his skills will allow him to find in the world of professional football. The Glentoran Belfast heard from football scouts, however, that it is too small, too skinny, and the player it is not well suited. So he kicked the ball in the street.
And then something happened like a miracle. In Belfast he began work Bob Bishop, Manchester United scout. One day on the street niewysokiego saw the boy, who wyczyniał amazing tricks ... kicking a tennis ball. The next day, he saw how George copes with normal futbolówką. And then he sent a telegram to legendary manager, "Red Devils" Matt Busby: "I think I found you a genius." Manchester United immediately signed a contract with a young George.
Georgie went on a two-week test in Manchester. He escaped from them after two days, unable to endure homesickness. Busby, however, he could see that his hands came up with a real diamond. So I called Besta - senior and managed in this way to convince George to return to Old Trafford. There he went to the school of hard professional football: in addition to extensive daily training was his duty too Shoe Shine players with first team. This, however, ended up pretty quickly.
September 14, 1963 at the age of 17 years George made his debut in the basic line-up Manchester United's match against WBA. Again he went out onto the pitch on December 28 and then I scored the first goal in a 5-1 win over Burnley. Since that time he played more often in the first team, finishing his debut season with 26 appearances and six goals. As the 17-year-old - at least impressive.
In his second season playing in Manchester George could no longer enjoy the championship of England. A victory in the league meant fighting in the Champions Cup. In 1966, George scored twenty in the quarterfinals of the European Cup two goals the Portuguese Benfica. Portuguese newspapers then christened longhaired - well, Georgie follow fashion - as the fifth player Beatels. That's when it was born of the Best - celebrity, but more on that later, for now let's focus on his football career before it began to destroy precisely the celebrycko - party of Bestowskiego character.
1966-1967 season was even better. United won the league again, and in Best's feet lay a football in Europe. Man Utd a year later won the European Cup. Gol Besta sealed the 4-1 final win over Benfica. Football was chosen Player of the Year in Europe and the English league. Georgie was 22 years old, was the undisputed god of football. And then it began to fall.
At first received with a slight tongue in cheek, or as evidence that that a young, talented and devilishly handsome boyfriend likes to have fun. The problem is that the step of unleavened, working-class Belfast to the big city lights, the front pages of newspapers, beautiful women and glamorous parties turned out for George deadly. Charismatic, good feeling "on the salons', quickly gained immense popularity. And while he slowly rozmieniać his great talent for a minor. "Had it not been drinking, would be better than me" - he once said Pele.
The club at Old Trafford, gazed long pozaboiskowe a blind eye to the excesses of Besta. Thanks to his goals (in 470 appearances 179 goals), the club remained in the top league, but slowly Enough is enough. When George and disappeared for several days and found himself on the French ... popijawie rugbistami, the club's patience with the authorities over. At the age of 27 years, which is the best time for the player, retired from Manchester. "The dark side of power" began to take precedence.
In an interview, Best talked about his favorite movie. This was the "Charlie Bubbles" with Albert Finney in the lead role. Finney plays there, uncompromising, hard drinking writer who does not can cope with fame and expectations of the environment. Best particularly liked the final scene when the hero gets into a balloon, cuts and dissolves into the rope against the blue sky. "Pure escape, turning his back on everything from the world ..." - said the journalist. Best escape in alcohol, and this flight ended tragically for him.
Continue playing career, "Belfast Boy" is a list of many clubs, where a growing alcoholism win with his talent. Jewish Gold in South Africa in Ireland, Cork Celtic, Fulham, England, three clubs in the U.S., Hibernians in Scotland, the Bournemouth end of his career in England and even Australia's Brisbane. This is a list of matching more than a football player laborer, who would be the best in history. He could, if ...
One of the most famous quotes George Best's words: "I spent a lot of money on booze, girls and fast cars. The rest you just missed. " Instead, the football legend has gained fame similar to those surrounding the dead young rock stars. When he died November 25, 2005, wept throughout Belfast. Two years after the death of GQ magazine held him as one of the 50 most stylish men the last half century. For many, remained a symbol of unrealized opportunities.
And the disappearance of the mural was also a little symbolic ...
