Mrs. Robinson

Anyone see Spotlight? Seeing as the original thread was closed.

Now, there are some facts to talk about. Anyone still feeling sympathy for Robinson, or did he come across as someone simply caught out, and trying to garner as much sympath as possible? He has to be gone!

Who really cares?
Seriously, who actually cares apart from the family?

Okay, so don't post if it doesn't concern you. I get a feeling that those who voted him in may well care that he hasn't been playing by the democratic rules expected of him.

Maybe you are someone who doesn't get interested by anything?

I get interested by things that interest me.
But you are right, I shouldn't have posted because it doesn't concern or interest me but I threw caution to the wind & said 'feck it' I'll post a reply.
Apologies, continue on.

Iris robinson, wife of dup leader and northern ireland first minister peter robinson, and all round hater of anything unchristian such as homosexuality and adultery too I would imagine, was found to be having an affair with a 19 year old guy whom she also tried to lure rich friends into investing in his company, then tried to commit suicide.

No I don't live under a rock but I would think that it is a fairly private thing that shouldn't really be in the papers.
Maybe I'm wrong in thinking like that but they were/ are under enough strain without being judged in a good or bad light?

You should read the papers as you clearly dont understand the story.

You are either illinformed or just a troll.

A self righteous politician (59) was raising money, £50k sterling, from two property developers so her lover (19) could open a restaurant built with council funds. She kept £5k back for herself. He was the only successful applicant in a tendering process. The relationship soured and she wanted the money paid back, but the cheques were to be paid to her and the Church her husband's sister runs. Her husband who happens to be first minister of Northern Ireland was aware of her indiscretions both financial and marital, ensured she paid the money back. Unfortunately for him, it is against the rules for public representatives not to declare such interests. Looks like he'll have to resign. She branded homosexuals as an abomination according to a verse from the Bible, the same piece also condemns infidelity.

Peter Robinson went to his optician yesterday as his eye was watering since last March. His optician said, " I think I know what's wrong...there has been something stuck in your iris....

I'd imagine the homosexual community are loving this right now. seeing her having to try and squirm her way out of this situation. I do feel a little for the family, however she brought all the attention on herself by being self righteous and preaching what is right and what is wrong and now she must suffer the consequences.

There were already serious allegations over how much money they claimed in expenses over the past few years, by holding seats in westminister and stormount and also having members of their family working in their constituency offices and in stormount.

No, you are taking me up completely wrong.
I'm not interested in the story of how this came about. I am interested in the woman in question claiming that she considered suicide due to her actions.
I really hope it's not a publicity stunt looking for people to view her in a vunerable way. It's too much of a serious issue to be throwing around in order to gain a few sympathy votes.
It doesn't take my interest because I feel it's something that should have been kept private.
Simple as that.

if this was a 59 year old man going off with a 19 year old girl(just about an adult) we would all be giving out about the fact that he had taken advantage of her, throwing the publics money at her to knock her off her feet but because itS a woman we just see her as being a bit of a sad old b1t-h.

I feel very sorry for her husband, to be honest i even feel sorry for her. Think about her comments about gay people and her very unwise personal decisions, she is obviously neither a happy nor a right thinking person.

Bottle_of_Smoke

I don't get why people make such a big deal about the homosexuality is abomination comment. Only bible bashers say abomination, according to the bible it is an abomination, so what's the issue?

What I don't get even more is that Robinson also said "there is no more vile an act, other than homosexuality and sodomy, than child abuse"

The second comment is far far far worse and its not in a biblical context, yet the papers always talk about the abomination line, which is true.

If she did top herself were you going to mourn her? Did you know her to mourn her if something happened?
Who do you think it would effect if she did do something?
A random guy on the street? A random poster on an internet site?

It is a private issue that should never have made the papers.

Good summation... only thing you missed is that for an as yet unknown reason she initially decided that the property developer who died shortly after "gifting/loaning" her the 25k wasn't going to be paid back. This was the money that was to go to the church. According to Spotlight she then changed her mind and wanted it paid back into the man's estate.

A lot more to come methinks

This is a great troll job or you are back peddling, good stuff. Either way your point makes little sense. Her suicide attempt isnt even within the top 5 elements of the story now. Read up on the story and come back to the thread.

Because she is a hypocrite and a bigot and it makes her public humiliation hilarious. Here's another one from her speaking to Hillary Clinton
"No woman would have put up with what she tolerated from her husband when he was president."

Ok, Rovert, you win... I am trolling, oh wait, no I'm back peddling...Damn it I can't decide!
Personally I feel it's making a bit of a feck of people who have commited suicide/ seriously thought about it. In my view I would think they are grasping for the publics sympathy & I have no time for anyone willing to play the suicide card in order to gain some form of ****ed up form of public affection.

End of story.

Just doesnt make a whole load sense even in how youve explained thing. Anyway I think both of us are taking away from what should be a light hearted thread about a major public scandal.

But that makes the story even more salacious. This is a great story and very interesting. You asked who really cares? How could a person with half an interest in current affairs not find it interesting? Little gem of a story.

I also think she's weirdly hot.

Is adultery an "abomination" ?

Anyway I don't mean to sound like I'm defending her, I'm just saying the child abuse comment is far more offensive than the abomination one. Not only to gays but also victims of child abuse

Got to love when the self righteous Christian fundamentalists get their come uppance. Same type who are will drop the "commie, pinko, liberal, pc" card at every opportunity.

Its these same "types" they are now looking for sympathy from.

Anyway, I do sympathise, but Good God, a 57/58 year old woman and a 19 yr old man?

Me? You? A random colleague?

Yeah it's a public scandal, but that part of it should have been kept private. The only reason there was so much of a splash made was to paint them in a vunerable light.

he looked like a broken man on RTE news yesterday. I think it should be a private matter. She suffers from depression. So she obviously has problems, nothing she says (about gays etc) should be taken seriously in my opinion.

I feel sorry for the family if this suicide attempt thing is true, no family should have to deal with that, it's a devastating thing.
