SWISS CHEESE



So those two big cheeses of nationalism, Durkan and McGuinness, are packing their cases and off to Davos. (Wasn't he the leader of the Daleks?) They are travelling to the World Economic Forum that is due to take place next week in Switzerland.



Leaving aside the obvious irony of a self-confessed terrorist such as McGuinness travelling anywhere, to lecture anyone, on anything, there is another interesting feature to this story. The subliminal idea as UTV tells it is that Durkan and McGuinness are somehow magically "world leaders!" I don't think so. Not on planet Earth anyway! This is an example of bumptious ego-fueled politicians (well, mmm..let's stretch the term to include McGuiness today) preening themselves and a spineless media indulging the pretense. More cheese anyone?
