An Executive Anti-Bullying Initiative?
The Upper Bann MP David Simpson this week criticised the Education Minister Caitriona Ruane for only devoting 75 minutes to tackling bullying. No doubt Ms Ruane disputes this. But as I recorded an interview with Margaret Ritchie today about the "difficult scenes" around the Executive table as they have discussed their credit crunch and fuel poverty proposals, it struck me that the ministers might benefit from an anti-bullying initative of their own. To make your mind up listen to the programme at the usual time of 12.45 pm on BBC Radio Ulster this Saturday or if you miss it via the listen again facility.
There's no Politics Show this weekend, but there is a special Stormont Live on the credit crunch package. That's on Monday afternoon at 2.30pm on BBC2.

Mark,
How many times does Margaret mention "Indicated" or "officials"!!!!
As for Catriona Ruane has she only ever been in her departmental office on eight days during 18 months?? That doesn't sound right

I saw the local rags covering David Simpsons question about the time Catriona Ruane spent in her ministerial office. Big deal. Who would want to go to Bangor if they didn't have to? Does any MLA ask questions that actually add anything of value to the real issues?? David Simpson and others have previously wasted time asking about issues such as creationism. When will our MLA's move away from low level point scoring and actually earn their salaries?

I wonder what Margartet Ritchie has done to offend 'stormontspy' so much. Constantly attacking her before he even knows what she has said--It's with even more venom than the shinners and thats saying something.
