PETER HITCHENS: Part of the UK will soon be ruled by Dublin. So much for the defeat of the IRA...
This is Peter Hitchens��� Mail on Sunday column
It is now clear even to the dimmest that the IRA have won in Northern Ireland. Their political poodle, Sinn Fein, has toppled the Democratic Unionists as the largest party in the Stormont Assembly.
It is hard to see how this will not now lead, in the fullness of time, to the transfer of the Six Counties of Northern Ireland to Dublin rule.
And what rule will that be? Why, the rule of Sinn Fein, rapidly growing in strength in the Republic, now t...

PETER HITCHENS: Coming soon... the day I stop watching the BBC (which is more narrow-minded than a 1950s prude)
This is Peter Hitchens���s Mail on Sunday column
News comes of a heartbreakingly cruel survey in which 200 people were deprived for nine days of the output of the BBC. To ensure they complied, their homes were plastered with ���NO BBC��� stickers and they were required to confess any lapses.
During the experiment, they were given envelopes containing the small amounts of money they would have saved if they had not been paying for their TV licences.

PETER HITCHENS: Did you ever need an arts graduate in a hurry? So why so many universities?
This is Peter Hitchens��� Mail on Sunday column
Did you ever see, in the old Yellow Pages or on the web, anyone advertising himself as an emergency journalist?
No, nor I. Did you ever, on some blighted weekend, tell yourself that you���d pay practically anything to get a journalist to come round? No, nor I.
So when people ask me how they can get into journalism, as they sometimes do, I urge them to become plumbers instead.
First of all, they can absolutely guarantee that they will always ...

Extracts from ' The Grand Chessboard' , published 1997 by former US Secretary of State Zbigniew Brzezinski
���Ukraine, a new and important space on the Eurasian chessboard, is a geopolitical pivot because its very existence as an independent country helps to transform Russia. Without Ukraine, Russia ceases to be a Eurasian empire. Russia without Ukraine can still strive for imperial status, but it would then become a predominantly Asian imperial state, more likely to be drawn into debilitating conflicts with aroused central Asians, who would then be resentful of the loss of their recent independence...
