A new leader of the DUP but no new thinking
A letter from Harry Patterson:
Anyone listening to Edwin Poots on Radio Ulster on Friday morning for any signs of a new direction or new thinking from the ‘new’ leader of the current largest unionist party will have been sorely disappointed.
It was quite depressing — the face has changed but that’s all.
If you listened very carefully you could actually hear the votes falling away as he spoke.
Harry Patterson, Castlecaulfield
