Bring on the clowns in Stormont
by planetparker
Once more the loyalist corner-boy Sammy Wilson has made a show of himself in Stormont, performing not like a minister but like a Linfield Football supporter.
I’m afraid had I been any of the members of the assembly’s environment committee who were the recipients of his unpardonable guff, I would have walked over the floor and planted my fists deep into his pathetic jowls.
He intends to go ahead with his ban of the advertisement advocating changes in behaviour to combat climate change. I can imagine how this will play out amongst the G&T drinking denizens of the leafy golf clubs of Surrey. “I say, have you heard about this politician in Ireland who won’t show an advertisement against climate change. Well that’s the paddies for you what? What?”
Of course such people are unable to see through their anti-Irish prejudice that the politician in question would rather be beggared by a (Protestant) gorilla than be called Irish; that he is a minister in that part of Ireland which is still a de facto part of the United Kingdom; that he is a die-hard supporter of her Majesty the Queen, but into whose breast he would nevertheless plunge a bayonet were she to ever contemplate becoming a Roman Catholic.
