John Hunter's column: The blood brothers Bill forgets

BRINGING it all back home is what Bill Clinton will be doing next month on a whistle-stop Ulster tour which includes the obligatory trip to Enniskillen, where his ancestral fathers, the Cassidys, hailed from.

No doubt the trip will see the usual media re-gurgitation of famous Ulster- Americans who are somehow to our credit.

Inevitably, of course, those sons of Ulster who screw up don't get a mention.

Which is why I'm pointing out that Timothy Mc Veigh, who will be executed in a couple of weeks for the Oklahoma bombing which killed 168 people, is sort-of a Portadown man.
