    Probably in shock of the size of the yes vote and fear it will move north.

    Seriously though, wouldnt wish a heart attack on almost anyone.

    Mr Robinson is from the "liberal" wing of the DUP - takes a sup of vino now and again.


    (That's not a joke btw.)

    Question for you Republican/SF posters; If old Marty or Adams had a heart attack, would you automatically expect all the Anti-SF posters on here to make smart arsed remarks about one of them?

    I'm not a DUP supporter, but a heart attack is a really awful and sometimes fatal attack. Not so sure you guys should be having a bit of caic at his expense (while he's down). Better you wait till he's back to health and then start the auld craic, no?

    Agreed I genuinely believe he had a key role in the peace process

    From my experience on here, normally the people who make the smart arse remarks about unionism or anything to do with it, are the most anti-sf/republican posters on here. Always castigate Republicanism, rarely do the same towards unionism. Being a smart arse towards unionism is the height of their objectivity i.e rarely criticise it.

    As for the topic at hand, can't say I'm gonna lose much sleep

    There's a lot of ammunition to get stuck into Pete and the DUP without having to lower yourself to laugh at his heart attack. I think he's a horrible person, but you have to have sympathy about someone going through a heart attack.

    Dunno what to make of that^ does it relate to making fun of Robinson's heart attack???

    You've lost me there.

    You're making it sound like everyone taking the piss is automatically pro-Sinn Fein or Republican

    No not at all, I was just asking (see post#18) "Question for you Republican/SF posters; . . ."

    So I'm looking for a reply from one of them!

    Yes and if you read on the question is about smart-arsed remarks. If there was no smart arsed remarks, they why would you be asking at all? So there was smart arsed remarks and you queried the people making them i.e the "Republican/SF posters".

    Have you ever read the stuff about SF politicians in the full of their health. You get the full rainbow of abuse.
    I predict a riot on here if one of them gets sick.

    I wish no illness on Peter btw.
