Me, too. I remember a couple of virulent arguments with my mother because she said I was too young to join the Aldermaston marchers and threatened to lock me in my room when I said i'd go anyway ... I was 14 and thought Peter Hain was an heroic figure. But I still regret that I never went on an Aldermaston march.
I heard Eamonn Malley opining on the radio this morning that, with the advent of the marching season, if no power sharing deal is made tomorrow, James Brokenshire will postpone making any decision about what happens next until after the summer recess. Cowardice or pragmatism? If that's what happens, a !little of both, I think.
