Consensus

One interesting element of the reaction to today's revelations about collusion between police and loyalist paramilitaries in Northern Ireland (allegations which have circulated in fairly precise form for some time) is that bereaved father Raymond McCord, a unionist, has urged Sinn Fein not to endorse policing in the light of the report, presumably seeing some leverage over the government for his own case if Sinn Fein withhold their endorsement.
