It’s a little secret, just the Robinsons’ affair
Posted on Sunday 10 January, 2010
Filed Under Ireland
ANYTHING I could possibly write about the scandal rocking Northern Ireland politics right now will obviously prove superfluous in the face of the comprehensive take already on offer from Splintered Sunrise, and this inspired satirical cover version of a certain Simon and Garfunkel classic, courtesy of comedian Keith Law. That won’t stop me airing my second-best opinions on the topic later this week, though.

Got a blog that should be on this panel? Send me an email.














No doubt she enjoyed quite a few good fry-ups.
SueR. Normally a good shag followed by a fake organism then the Ulster Fry. I mean Sue even a fat lesbo would bend over fur a skinny man tae get an Ulster Fry. Twenty tattie scones fifty rashers of bacon a hunner of fried eggs, black puddin and aw ra trimmins guzzeld doon with diat Irn Bru. Who ra fook needs politics.
A homosexual colleague from the glens of Donegal immediately remarked that the reason Mrs Robinson was so vehemently opposed to any gay hanky-panky was because she wanted all the young studs for herself.
To be fair, Martin, the young bloke at the centre of this scandal is pretty fit. Respect to Iris.
Agreed. Kirk McCambley is gorgeous.
Attitude magazine wants him for its front cover.
Although it may be part of their ‘culture’, the time has come to ask whether hetrosexuals are suitable for public life. Promiscuity is rife.
Another real sadness about Iris Robinson’s affair is that it strikes another blow to the happy-ever-after myth of straight marriage..
