What goes around comes around

I’m enjoying Sinn Fein’s discomfiture at the refusal of the British and Irish governments to publish their peace plan for Northern Ireland until SF and the IRA come up with the goods. Long term observers of Sinn Fein’s hardball approach to negotiation, will be familiar with its practice of demanding “clarification” after “clarification” of government proposals until they get what they want. Clearly, they don’t enjoy it nearly so much when the (jack) boot is on the other foot.
