Why the roll eyes? She's obviously not as famous as you think she is as we've never heard of her.

Well hopefully she will now be sacked from her job since she cannot be a politician if she has had, will have, is having an affair.

Ok so some will wonder what has having an affair to do with being a politician.

It's about trust, it's about honesty, it's about not putting yourself in a position that could lead to blackmail or bringing the Country into disrepute.

I want politicians to make decisions based on thier belief that it is the best thing for the Country not because someone with information about you has told you to.

A basic soldier in the same position could lose his job or vetting status if he was caught having an affair, A politician has the a vetting status that clears them up to Top Secret (on a need to know basis of course)

Do we want the Countries secret passed to someone for thier silence ?

I agree, politician's should be squeaky clean but it's a tad hypocritical to demand this woman's head when Peter Mandelson has been caught with his fingers in the cookie jar on more than one occasion - but he's still there isn't he, among others.

Politicians are only human. These things happen. I would rather the country be run by people with a bit of go in them.

What really worries me is that Mrs Robinson is apparently suicidally depressed and yet still considered fit to govern.

Reports suggest she's a Pentecostal Christian. Is that the same thing as catholic? It's hard to imagine a catholic being highly placed in Ian Paisley's Democratic Unionist Party.

Besides which christinity and catholisism are very similar closely linked religeons

Only the fundamentalists linger over the few differences

I think we need to look at this more closely

why should we demand our leaders to be squeaky clean - we dont vote them in on the promise they keep their dick in their pants - we vote them in on the basis they can ie improve the economy, make more money, create jobs, better health care etc etc - look at us all- we hold jobs down, we are parents, we are kind to old people - if our sex lives were to be held up and judged how would we fair??

Again look at some other examples of what we would miss out on if we judged by sexual preferences:

LLoyd George, there are no politicians today who could ever think of getting away with the uber-sexed personal life, peppered with illicit lovers and illegitimate offspring, that Lloyd George led over 14 years in Downing Street, first as Chancellor, then as Prime Minister, from 1908 to 1922. - if we lost him we would have lost wars, not have a health system and possibly not have social support in this country

I could also add Bevan, Churchill, Nelson, and thats before we get to the arts - Shakespeare etc

I guess we should not throw stones in glass houses

I think we should ask ourselves that the sex life apart do they serve us well?

I don't think it's about being (un)able to resist the temptation of an adulterous shag - it's about cheating.

One of the few subjects guaranteed to rouse most of the forum in condemnation is a man (or woman) cheating on their other half.

But we are human - we 'cheat' every day of our lives, we do this in different degrees because we are not infallible, in this game of ours we have some hard and fast rules about safety and not deceiving our partners sexually - but that doesnt mean we can judge others - we should be careful there as we are not without our faults - and to say that one fault is bigger than others is leading in to dangerous territory -

I am not suggesting we ignore law breakers - i am suggesting that we are quick to judge when if we look a little closer we might find we are just as likely to break someones moral code

even in this place we snipe, judge, and gasp at some of our 'friends' social choices -

of course we can demand they are squeaky clean, these are the people that pass laws and regulations.

These are the people who say that others squeaky clean for example the average soldier with a positive vetting status that I mentioned earlier in this thread.

If a politician can dicatate that a soldier with an below average salary and a positive vetting be squeaky clean or lose his job then surely we have the right to demand the same from the high paid people who are putting themselves in a position where thier integrity could be compromised.

Yes there have been many politicians having affairs or being unscrupulous who are still in office, I refer to another thread that was on here - two wrongs don't make a right and they should also have been sacked from thier jobs.

There are many average jobs with average salaries where if you were found to be having an affair you would be sacked.

And now we are hearing of allegations that she was a part of illegal loans given to her lover

This is a married woman who is a Member of Parliament, a Member of the Northern Ireland Assembly (where she's spokesman for health, youth and women - one out of three ain't bad

) and, at the time all this happened, she was a local councillor. She's also active in her church.

Where did she find the time to shag a 19 year old?

Iris Robinson is NOT a Catholic, a slip of the tongue like that could get a person into alot of soapy water in Northern Ireland.

To be honest, I sorta feel sorry for the Peter but then I just catch myself on. Captain Kirk - the 19 year old lover is a LEGEND! I'd honestly like to buy the guy a pint!

Maybe he only lasted 2 mins.

Looking at her on the news, she's a tidy bit of gear.

Good on him.

Besides which christinity and catholisism are very similar closely linked religeons

Only the fundamentalists linger over the few differences

I go to a pentacostal church in brum and its so cheerful

Sorry, but i've got to pull you up on this one.

Catholicism IS a Christian religion - the oldest one in fact.

What is it about certain elements of the Protestant end of the Christian Faith that cannot accept the Catholic Church as being Christian?

One would think the big crosses with that Jesus fella on them would be a bit of a clue...

You could also say that about the Church of England or the Church of Scotland - never mind all those good 'Christian' ministers in the US selling snake oil promises to a gullible flock & living on the proceeds.

BTW, i'm not Catholic or even Christian.

Anyway, why the hypocrisy over Iris Robinson?

Concentrate on the fact that she may have illegally appropriated funds rather than her personal life. Who she shags is between her & her husband, who's money she handles IS our affair.

It's an argument i have with Yank fundamentalists all the time - they deny Catholicism to be Christian, then count Catholics as Christian when they need the numbers to support a particular point.

Actually, you can't say that about the Kirk. Such hierarchy as exists is organised on a very different basis from the Anglicans and the Catholics.

Still people making a profit from others religious views though eh? How many Ministers in the history of the Kirk have lived high on the hog?

It's endemic across all organised religions unfortunately which is why i reject such.

Those were very different times. I have no truck with organised religion either but I recognise that the Kirk exists with the need for pomp and circumstance and without the layers of hierarchy (bishops, archbishops and so on) that other faiths use to separate the faithful from their Dog.

Even the Moderator is little more than a Master of Ceremonies at Assembly time and, I believe, receives the same modest stipend s/he did as a parish minister.

If you really want to speak your mind there are forums out there covering this subject with no holds barred responses.

Includes how can a particular religion cover up scandals when the truth has been splashed over the media for years, some have no shame.

Google is your friend if you want to get stuck in.

Are we talking a particular religeon here grecian? or the fact that basically all religions finish up with hypocrisy and corruption from the men at the top.

Religious orders like any other big organisation will always have the people in power having what they can, its just the some men are and I would exclude no order from this.

And mrs Robinson did abuse her power although that case was nothing to do with her religeon.

Tidy woman though.

just looked at the wiki page.

2 quotes stood out to me:

"the government has the responsibility to uphold God's laws"

Yeah because God is apparently not powerful enough - and neither is faith - it's so weak it needs laws to protect it

"she announced that she would leave politics and withdraw from public life following prolonged periods of mental illness"

Quelle Surprise!

I'd expect this type of lunacy in uncivilised countries like Saudi Arabia or the United States, but not in Europe
