LEAVE OF ABSENCE

  By David Vance | March 31, 2011 - 5:09 pm |

Hi all. As you may know, I am standing for election to the Northern Ireland Assembly in the May 5th poll and pressures mean I must step away from this site for most of the next month or so.  I hope the other writers can keep you provided with copy whilst I am away. I will return.

    Best of luck David. Maybe the odd dig at the BBC whilst you’re on the hustings wouldn’t go amiss! ;)

    Hopefully when you come back it will be as a member of the assembly. Good luck.

    All the best David.  Maybe the next we hear from you is a further leave of absence because you got elected?! :)

    Hippiepooter – My heart is here and you can bet I will return. There is the matter of the Biased BBC book that still is clearly on my agenda  :-D

      David,

      I’m sure you’ll run a politically educational campaign, despite BBC-EU;

      NO, to UK membership of the European Union!

    It looks though the BBC may be almost an election issue in Northern Ireland:

    Good luck Dave, if you get interviewed by the BBC do mention the bias.
