Comment on Cui bono?

Or for Kirk ‘oh get her bucked’ McCambley, he might ask when a gift is not a gift?
Answer, when you stop loving Iris Robinson (it then becomes a loan based on “for all I have done for you”).
Oh and by the way Iris was depressed when it all happened and not of sane mind so this whole thing should be scrapped and written off.
The end.

It’s really about electoral absorption point – and obviously speaking personally I can’t take any more nonsense from them as they have gone in hard on others in the past, quite persistently so that my harden stance towards them both because of that makes it almost impossible to want to pick up the nuances.
The nuances of the grey that may come from further detailed examinations of the situtation showing Peter Robinson to not be so bad a spud as Iris are to me really quite hard to see and accept, as the basic black and white will do nicely this time, i.e:
Hypocrisy and corruption = clear off thanks no time for you.

Perhaps Miss Fitz, or the complete lack of candour and full-length admission rather than part fire-fighting exercise on TV at the start of the week ny Peter Robinson might just make him well culpable in terms of propping up this wholly inappropriate and secretive financial dealings.
Not to mention all this moral clarity that was once bandied about by the DUP clerics.
The real problem is hypocrisy – family values which are now cutting across to the person i.e. Peter Robinson. Woods from the trees and all that.
And now the stigma, whether he can fight it off all well and good but people are tired of the Robinsons generally and they seem like chancers – bad tempered ones at that.
Poor taste.

Iris was acting in loco parentis at one point can this relationship be viewed as initially a complete breach of trust into lust then revenge for the falling out?
Oh hang on, Iris is depressed and was not of sane mind so let’s forget the whole thing.
The end.

Yes the BBC are the investigators on this and they are directly reporting it as such and he – Kirk – even agreed to be part of the documentary so an injunction against what exactly?
Perhaps he is possibly considering suing Iris over something – a gift that wasn’t a gift in the end but a poisonous bribe?

so then why would they give it to Iris?
how great thou art?
I.e. you’ve looked after me in the past and no doubt will do in future and your husband too is in a good position of strong influence. Very helpful thank you.
How great thou art?
Amen

Comment on Policeman in hospital after car bomb attack
on 8 January 2010 at 4:36 pm
That was really clever I feel inches closer to having a Dail government now, I really do.
The perpetrator needs both prison and reschooling and few cigarette burns in sensitive areas to see if he/she understands the feeling of pain from pain infliction by others.

Comment on Robinson faces a political rather than a legal problem…
on 8 January 2010 at 4:27 pm
It’s called having a stigma and needing to the clear the air to let the focus rest on proper politics – re policing and security and peace building.
Resign Robinson, for goodness sake clear off.
