Gloom descends
- 23 Mar 07, 10:13 AM
Whenever a deadline approaches you always get peaks and troughs in expectation. This morning there's growing gloom in some government circles.
The DUP's party officers met late last night and communicated a message to Downing Street. As a result Tony Blair has cleared some space in his diary to see a DUP delegation this afternoon. It seems fair to assume the DUP is looking for more time or more concessions. The government insists it's standing by the deadline and has nothing more to give.
I'm off now to the Federation of Small Business Conference in Belfast's Waterfront hall to see what Ian Paisley has to say to the delegates.
Some readers have pointed out they are getting a mixture of the Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales blogs. If you just want to follow the NI ones try this link

As a Christian I feel that it is time we realised it's time to move on for the good of our Country and everyone in it. we have seen some changes for the better in the past few years, so lets allow the DUP to go ahead into Government, still keeping their own christian values, and let them work towards a fair deal for all the Country. We need good men in Government; burying our heads in the sand and at same time professing Christianity isn't getting us anywhere. Christians have to play their part in living in this world and I'm sure the DUP won't see corruption etc. going on while they can have the power to change things for the better for all. We have trusted Mr Paisley with our votes this far, now trust a little more.
