Edward Carson is just not important enough for a plaque in his honour. This is according to English Heritage. The Dublin born lawyer was Ulster Unionist leader during the Home Rule crisis. A panel chaired by historian Professor Sir
David Cannadine selects about 12 names a
year to be honoured on new plaques. Mr Carson was not one of them.The panel said Carson's career "in British
politics was not sufficiently outstanding to
justify commemoration". I wonder what Ian Paisley thinks of that?
