Iris Not In Bloom - Time to Transplant or Cut Down

Iris Robinson, the DUP’s Minister for Homophobia, has gone way too far. I suspect even she realises that now.

True, she has marginally back-pedalled over a transcript of a Westminster meeting where she was quoted as saying that: “There can be no viler act, apart from homosexuality and sodomy, than sexually abusing innocent children.” She now insists that: “What I clearly intended to say was that child abuse was worse even than homosexuality and sodomy.”

But even if you allow her that clarification, that comment in itself and her original quotes to this paper on the story leave little room for doubt.

“I cannot think of anything more sickening than a child being abused. It is comparable to the act of homosexuality. I think they are all comparable. I feel totally repulsed by both ? ”
