Remind me why I am leaving Northern Ireland again? Oh yes...

Two senior Ulster Unionists, including the leader Tom Elliot, are to face disciplinary proceedings within the Orange Order for attending the funeral of murdered police constable Ronan Kerr.

It follows a formal complaint by a lodge in Sandy Row in Belfast.

The complaint alleges Mr Elliott and Danny Kennedy "have sold their principles for political expediency".

Disciplinary hearings will now be heard, possibly as early as next month.

Along with political leaders from across Ireland, the two men attended Constable Kerr's funeral in April.

But, unlike the other politicians present, both are members of the Orange Order and as such are forbidden from taking part in Catholic services.

The BBC reported in June that a lodge in Belfast had written a letter of complaint about the two men to the Grand Lodge.

I understand that the lodge, St Simon's Church Total Abstinence LOL 821 from Sandy Row, has made formal complaints to the county lodges of Mr Elliott and Mr Kennedy in Fermanagh and Armagh... [continued at link]

Total Abstinance LOL :coffeespray:
Outside the ordered universe is that amorphous blight of nethermost confusion which blasphemes and bubbles at the center of all infinity—the boundless daemon sultan Azathoth, whose name no lips dare speak aloud, and who gnaws hungrily in inconceivable, unlighted chambers beyond time and space amidst the muffled, maddening beating of vile drums and the thin monotonous whine of accursed flutes.

My favorite part of Dune is when the author mentions the Orange Catholic Bible.
