Time for Robinson to Use the 'Clever Device'
28 September 2010
Statement by TUV leader Jim Allister:
"Following the Hillsborough Agreement DUP leader Peter Robinson talked darkly about a "clever device" implanted within it which, he assured us, he would employ if the DUP were unable to secure a satisfactory deal on parading. Some even say he undertook to resign as First Minister if acceptable parading legislation was not in place by December 2010.
"Now that he has failed to deliver an acceptable way forward on parading, it is time for Mr Robinson to reveal and use his ‘clever device’, guaranteed to stop Sinn Fein being the only winners out of Hillsborough, unless, of course, he was bluffing! It certainly bluffed the DUP ‘Snowmen’ and got them over the line, proclaiming a unionist victory on parading. Some victory!”
