| | Reid might be a Taig (a Catholic), but he is in Ulster to impose the will and power of Her Majesty's Government, and Blair. | | | Reid gave up drinking six years ago, so he can no longer be accused of being a bar room politician, but as he sits in the Embassy Regal fug of his court, sipping Diet Coke, he is undoubtedly nothing other than an old-fashioned political boss. | | | Reid wears still his academic prowess on his sleeve, and has the disconcerting habit of dropping wee bon mots from Hegel or Gramsci into the conversation. |
