We havn't seen a smart homophobe yet in here, have we? That's why he can't figure out the difference between Ms. Robinson, and Mr. Bryant. These kind usually have trouble with letters and words, especially complex ones over 3 letters (hence the use of a three letter name for himself, in which two of the letters are the same... makes it very easy for him), due to the fact they limit their reading just to the bible. A silly book, by all accounts, and we all know the bible doesn't promote intelligent people... just hypocrites, it seems.

But he tried to claim £58,000. In April 2005 he flipped his expenses to his West London flat, which he bought for £400,000 in April 2002. He claimed £630 a month for mortgage interest and bills. He sold the flat 15 months later making £77,000 profit and bought another property for £670,000. Mr Bryant immediately flipped his expenses there.

In Robinson's case, we are dealing with Strangford constituency, where a marked unionist position means that Iris holds a 13,000 majority over her nearest rival. Robinson represents the Democractic Unionist Party - Ian Paisley's organisation. The rightist Ulster Unionist Party came second in 2005, followed by the centrist Alliance Party, the centre-left Social Democratic and Labour Party (SDLP) and the Conservatives. Sinn Fein in Strangford took under 1000 votes. The aggregate of all the non-DUP candidates at 2005 still comes to 4000 votes short of Robinson's Mugabe-style majority, which is possibly why she feels able to stick two fingers up not only at minorities, but now to her hard-working constituents as well. I would suggest that to end the hegemony of Robinson, her corruption needs to be used by the UUP at the next election. The Ulster Unionists would still seem to be the single party most likely to challenge her next time.
