KNEECAP have topped the news agenda here in the North for over a week. On a perhaps apposite note, Jeffrey Donaldson was arrested and charged with rape and a number of other sex offences almost exactly a year ago. That story – arguably the biggest news bombshell to have dropped here in the past decade – bestrode the news agenda like a colossus for two or three days and then dropped like a stone from the top of the news to find itself gracing the ‘In other news’ sections.
