Reiterating John Ward: Peter Robinson’s title was First Minister, not First Prime Minister.

It’s interesting that news of our “Celtic Cougar” should reach Texas – you know we have our own “El Paso” in Crossmaglen, County Armagh on the border with the Republic of Ireland.
FYI: Peter Robinson was First Minister (before he temporarily stood down) not First Prime Minister.That was Sir James Craig, from 1921-40, under the old Stormont regime.

Quo, anyone who thinks children don’t have a right to be free from sexual touching doesn’t have a lot of credibility when claiming the expression of pleasure at another’s depression is distasteful.

Very good, Richard Rush, but Paul Sinha got in ahead of you.

PS The figure in question was £150,000 expenses (nice jobs for relatives), plus combined income of £500,000. See article in the (London) Times newspaper.

She hasn’t apologized at all to the GLBT community for the appalling remarks, and she should. She is hypocrite and a charlatan – interfering and demeaning the private lives of others, while carrying on in her own sweet way, and showing no sign of repentance or admission of guilt until she was found out by the BBC. Congratulations to the BBC for redeeming itself, and exposing this ridiculous woman.

I couldn’t script this any better….

By the way Mrs Robinson is also in big trouble in the MPs expenses scandal – (which last summer exposed hundreds of politicians, claiming back huge amounts of personal expenses). Her claims were enormous….that alone should have been enough to make her resign as a member of parliament. As a result, it’s not just the LGBT community that is glad to see the back of her.

who is taking pleasure in her mental illness?

Expressing pleasure at the fact that someone is suffering from depression, or attempted suicide, is distasteful in the extreme.

It is quite possible that the law was broken. This young man may have in part been motivated by a desire to get ahead. Mrs Robinson encouraged “friends” to set this kid up in business.

“Friends” of politicians who have enough disposable income to set the politician’s extra-curricular love interest up nicely in business, often have financial interests that come before said politician. This whole thing reeks of corruption. If she was willing to lean on her “friends” for this guy, I would wonder if it isn’t part of a pattern–her pattern, her husband’s pattern or both.

I do hope that a prosecutor is looking into this whole mess.

Her comments were abhorrent. But I hope she receives the help she needs.
