How different from the days when we’d wake up to read that a bomb was planted outside a prominent Nationalist’s house, or that yet another person had gone AWOL (only to be discovered in the police lock-up hours later), or worse still the newsworthy items which never made it to the newspapers’ headlines – the diabetic with a limp who was forced to remove his shoes upon being arrested, and who upon suffering a hypoglycaemic attack (he was of course not fed or given a drink throughout the interrogation) was shown a torture instrument; the person confined for hours on end in a mosquito-infested cell, the number of people who gave birth at home to avoid going to a substandard hospital; the people who were induced to give birth early for fear that the Blue sisters would be forced to flee the country (as indeed happened); the list is endless.

Oh how blessed we are to wake up to todays’ realities – the increase in the price of gas, a most decent parliamentary secretary who resigns after being accused of perjury (since when has a slip of the memory started to be classified as ‘perjury’?) …
