The DUP thread

[nrico2006]

When did big Jeff  get his knighthood? And what did he  actually get it for?

I mean , he  never won Wimbledon or  an Olympic gold medal like those other  deserving  knighted folk.

Very good question. 

Services to saying no politics. I'd say he was shoe in to be fast tracked into Lords when he lost the MP seat in lagan valley. Obviously losing the seat is a guarantee now and his lordship is well and truely in the mud

I remember looking that up a few years ago as I was shocked that he was knighted, especially given his hard it is for some, more deserving, recipients.

You make it sound like a British knighthood is something to cherish and be proud of??

He wouldn't be the first lord involved in moral turpitude, not even in Belfast.

He's Lisburn, a different city altogether 

And not surprisingly he's from Kilkeel, that wee lovely fishing village bedecked in flegs all year round!

Is Harry and Megan still some sort of Duke or Duchess over that quaint wee shíthole?

I thought wee Jeff got his medal for services to smugness and sanctimony. And lest we forget, his dad wasn't a welcome sight at any catholic owned farm in south Down.

Hey Kilkeel might be a shithole. But it's my shithole

Is it as bad as Carrick?

Jesus Carla Lockhart looks like she has anorexia

[imtommygunn]

Irrespective of anything physical she's a horrendous human being. So young and the bitterness hanging out of her.

[gallsman]

Absolutely nothing between the ears on her either. How on earth she's become a big hitter is beyond me. If David Simpson wasn't busy waving his pipe all over Upper Bann, I suspect he'd still be in Westminster and she'd still be a mid tier MLA that very few people paid any heed to.

[imtommygunn]

It's the stuff round bloody sunday etc that gets me on her. The whys and wherefores of the whole thing aside it's just so antagonistic and disrespectful.

She is a product of her upbringing and background. Though they would try to say otherwise the DUP's demographic is a mirror image of SF's which includes ultra loyalist/republican opinion through to more main stream. Like many SF politicians Lockhart panders to that loyalist bloc   for votes.

Good man. Now can you name me a SF MP that is the reflection of Carla.
I wouldn't want to be giving them my vote.

It was her  that brought up the Drumcree March again, wanting  it "resolved". It was resolved 20 odd years ago.  And three young lads lost their lives  because  of it. Imagine  that mayhem happening again.

But as you say ,  the Drumcree talk would be music to a lot of knuckledraggers ears  and a few  more votes for Skeletor.

Not hard to know what side of the community the current Education Minister is from.

That being said if it had been 4 CCMS schools scheduled for closure and it was a new SF Education minister they would do exactly the same.

Not hard to know there are elections around the corner.

Just about sums up NI (parish) politics.

[marty34]

A school with 13 pupils, 3 teachers and 3 support staff.

Surely that can't continue.

I wonder how far away the next 'similiar' primary school is to each of them?

Is there not an enrolment figure in primary and once it dips below that, there needs to be an assessment down on it.

Politicians won't make good decisions - like hospitals etc.

By 13 pupils is very low.
