I see that British PM Tony Blair is due to meet DUP leader Ian Paisley and Sinn Fein chairman Mitchel McLaughlin today to discuss the fall-out from last month's Belfast bank robbery.

Mr.Paisley has already called for Sinn Fein to be excluded from talks in the North after Chief Constable Hugh Orde pointed the finger at the Provisional IRA regarding the bank robbery.

There is speculation that Sinn Fein's Westminster allowances may be cut as punishment for the raid.

Has Blair gone mad?As I said last week,the two governments should marginalise Sinn Fein as opposed to welcoming them back into the fold with open arms!
And as for this nonsense about Sinn Fein's Westminster allowances being cut,they'll clearly be able to afford it,won't they?!
