Call a spade a bloody shovel, Diane!
I’m confused about what Diane Dodds is saying here exactly at the DUP Euro manifesto launch. Now I do get the first bit…
“If unionists stay at home on 4th June there is a real danger that Sinn Fein will top the poll and two nationalist candidates will be elected from
Northern Ireland. Just imagine what message that would send out to the world. After all the progress that has been made in recent years it would be a
disaster for unionism.”
Yup, got it.. although it’s a “disaster” the Union would probably survive. Please note, the DUP and the Union are not the same thing, any more than are Sinn Fein and Unity.
“But there is still time to avoid such an outcome. Our fate is in our own hands.” (Get on with it Diane..)
“I want to keep the DUP first in Europe and to assist a second unionist to get elected. Republicans are counting on unionists sitting at home or wasting their votes on candidates that cannot win.”
Now wait a second. Jim Allister whatever else you say about him is a “unionist”, isn’t he?
“Sinn Fein’s success is dependent on vote splitting by a candidate that wants to destroy devolution. Let’s not play into their hands.”
Now might that destroyer be Jim? Ah right, by “second unionist” she must mean Mr Nicholson. Shouldn’t she spell it out and make him happy?
I’ve just flicked on to the DUP flickr euro election 09 photographs of the DUP manifesto launch – I swear Mrs Doddsy is turning into Mary McAleese – take a look – its uncanny the only unionist that will be mistaken for a republican president – Diane Dodds come on down
Today peter I’m going to be the president of the Irish republic!!
Big Maggie
Read Nicholson’s farming manifesto to just how the Tory Party plans to royally fist our farming community!
anyone see Hearts and Minds last night, anyone know what Diane’s views on climate change are (nope didn’t think so)
for all you Diane fans out there I hear the politics show is a real vote winner for her, why not invite all your friends round and have an elect Diane party when the show is on, you’ll want as many people as possible to see it
Politico
When is the QUB debate being shown? Another cracking performance by Mrs Dodds there I’ve heard;)
OOOH the Queens event was outstanding ! She was very bad and at one point Jim Fitzpatrick was going to ask the auidence who had the opition to vote for her to shut up !
Brillant !!!
Cannot wait to watch it !
heard a bit out of the poltiics show this morning on radio – barbara de bruin jumping in to defend jim allister. it was touching.
unholy alliance anyone?
one can only wonder just how cosy this relationship is when they are away in Europe.
The people really ion the know seem mighty impressed with Mrs Dodd’s performance on H & M:
Bairbre is now 2/11 at Paddy Power to top the poll!!!!
Roll on Sunday and the Queens Debate.
I’m betting books are closed Monday morning, foregone conclusion, pay out time!
and lo the lord appeared unto Peter the Puntite and said “Verily thy family is now all elected or employed by thee. Whence shall come the chosen one to smite the Shinnites?”
And Peter spake unto the Lord “Verily verily, my bondsman Nigel hath a wife who shall carry thy banner into battle, and she shall surely smite the Shinnites. And she shall not think for herself but shall parrot my words both left and right, and lo the Shinnites and the Stoopites shall gaze at her works in awe and they shall say “Bloody hell- is that the best they’ve got?”.
“But Nigal my bondsman is a cunning man, and he doth covet my ox and my ass and everything that is within my ornamental fishpond, yea even unto my very office itself. Lord , how shall I preserve mine inheritance even unto the third and fourth generation?”
And the wife of Nigel shall stop her ears to the wailing and gnashing of teeth of the chosen people that she is their representative, and she shall go out into battle and lo the wise and mighty men of the media shall ask her – yea a thousand times and one- to answer a question or to demonstrate that she is capable of forming an opinion , and the wife of Nigel shall shun them, and that right studiously. And she shall get verily stuffed. Selah
And lo Peter the Puntite shall say of the temple at Stormont “Ichabod is writ large over its portals”. And Nigel shall be cast out into the outer darkness, and great shall be the rejoicing thereat in a new small housing development in Dundonald. And a new generation of Puntites shall arise, and they shall inherit the earth and all that is therein. Amen
cracker cracker cushy !!!
Think how many questions diane (if the people were daft enough to elect her ) would ask at europe. maybe beat the demon doc he asked 2 in three years.
That`s what i call good representation.
Does she really want to top the pole could that be construed as murderous plans against a plumber.
Looks like Bairbre de Brún is now well and truly out ahead: 1/3.
Poor Alban Maginness: 25/1!
But a week as they say is a long time in politics.
