The wit and wisdom of Mr Wilson
Like him or loathe him, there's no denying that our Environment Minister usually provides plenty of entertainment when he gets to his feet in the Assembly chamber. yesterday he suggested he might fall foul of equality legislation through protecting the but not the English brown hare. He suggested that he was greener than his Irish counterpart and several hares had already sought asylum north of the border.
Today he answered Daithi McKay's call for a levy on plastic bags by pointing out that the North Antrim MLA was using a non biodegradable plastic water beaker, whereas the minister was relying on a re-usable glass.
The minister told MLAs he had just bought some books and declined to take the bag proffered by the assistant. He denied (but did he refute?) the suggestion that he might have required a brown bag for his books.
