Hmm...I heard the temp replacement in his absence is anti-UKunion and she may not facilitate/obstruct progression of the peace process.

How can you laugh at that woman's plight? To be in her position with so much to lose and in the public eye, then have a wingding with anyone, far less a boy that age...she must surely be ill. I don't know if I'd be laughing at anyone who is in as much trouble as she seems to be.

Plight? Like she couldn't say no? She's in the DUP, she's supposed to be able to say NO!

I don't accept for a heartbeat that e.g. Berlusconi is "ill" and deserves sympathy. He's an old goat, abusing his position of influence to get some young flesh. If he were ever to be brought to justice (which I fear we'll never see except in the tribunal of history) he might try to claim "sex addiction" and slope off to some Italian equivalent of The Priory (perhaps a real priory?). We have to look at Mrs Robinson with the same eyes we turn on him.

I cannot be disgusted at the media's use of this new word, "cougar", without also accepting that a powerful woman bribing a much younger lover is exactly as bad as a powerful man behaving in the same way. What's sauce for the gander is sauce for the goose. So she's devastated at being caught? Pity about her, she should have thought on.

And the DUP tick so many boxes that they get no "wiggle room" from me...

State terrorism exceeds all other forms of terror

Examples are scattered across history,and the globe---the cost in millions upon millions of deaths---The cause of what is known as the 3rd world,took all the assets and left these nations defeated,broken,and never gave anything back.

Of course the IRISH (the indomitable) for 850 years fought oppression,and we came out the nation state

Remember that great Empire ? Upon which the sun never set..yes THE BRITS--GUILTY OF MURDER OF INNOCENTS GENERATION AFTER GENERATION,until the IRISH helped to put the final nail in their imperial coffin -1920/22. IT WAS A GRAND DAY
Yes the chickens do come home to roost

Now look at the so called free democratic loving people--yes you got it in one--THE AMERICANS

Imperialists and interventionists---72 countries since 1945---but many more before 1945---to mention one The Philippine Islands in the 19th century


They too will pay the piper for those millions of innocents they slaughtered across this world
