REVIEW: The Boat Factory

 

Tuesday, December 6th, 2011

 

Dan Gordon wrote and starred in The Boat Factory, a moving play about workers in the shipyards in East Belfast. Michael Condron delivered a fantastic array of accents, and the chemistry between the two actors was fizzing. A play  starring only two people can get slightly dull and drag, but The Boat Factory was fast-paced, funny, and left you knowing an awful lot more about Belfast’s history.

EDITORIAL: Whatever you say, say it clear

 

Tuesday, November 29th, 2011

 

The last council showed how its members are either not aware of the protocol, or it demonstrated their total disregard for the rules. “Troops off Campus” are not everybody’s cup of tea, and their questions aim to shock and succeed at getting people’s backs up. Trying to discuss whether the Union is opposed to the British army and war is neither here nor there. The issue is that they weren’t given a fair chance to speak.  Points of Order do not have to be accepted by the person speaking. Never was anyone allowed to say whether they could accept the Point of Order or not. After proposing a motion and the discussion, a summary is meant to be given, people should not need to shout from the back that they are allowed to speak again.
