Sinn Féin's obsession with the Labour Party is gratifying because it shows how afraid it is. It reminds me of an old Latin phrase I learned in school. There was a Roman Senator who used to say "Delenda est Carthago", which means "Carthage must be destroyed", at the end of every speech, regardless of whether it was on agriculture, education or the Gods. Sinn Féin must have been reading a great deal of Latin history because it puts the same things into every speech. It constantly suggests that this country would be great only for the Labour Party. I assure Sinn Féin that this budget would have been much more severe only for the Labour Party.
