Inteersting Ulick.  I wonder though how much of it is unsubstantiated gossip, it seems to me whoever puts the Shankill Moaner together could have easily gleaned their 'information' from any of a load of online forums

Did anyone see a pickup type jeep driving round Belfast this morning with a load of anti-DUP and Peter Robinson stuff hanging off it?

It had the famous picture of Peter and the gun on the side with a load of other stuff about who's bought a load of listed buildings and burning them to the ground like 'nero'. Other than a picture of what looked like Fred Frazer i didn't get a good enough gander at it as i drove passed it on the Sydneham bypass.

Robinson bought 'key land' for £5 

Mr Robinson bought the access strip of land for £5
Northern Ireland First Minister Peter Robinson, and his wife Iris, bought a valuable piece of land from a property developer for just £5.


According to an investigation by the BBC's Newsline programme, the land deal enabled the Robinsons to sell part of their back garden for nearly £460,000.

They sold the land for £5 to a different developer, allowing the deal for their garden to go through.

The couple could be liable for tens of thousand of pounds in taxes.

The land was the vital access strip to a property development. The Robinsons made no profit on the strip of land.

But if the tax authorities decide that they bought and sold the access strip knowing that the price was less than the true worth, they could be liable for tens of thousands of pounds in capital gains tax.

Earlier this year, Peter Robinson stood down for a time as NI first minister after it emerged that his wife Iris had conducted an affair with a 19-year-old.

It makes you wonder just how much more the media will produce between now and the election!

It makes me wonder where the media are getting their information from.

I don't think you'd have to wonder too much...

ziggy, there are all sorts of possibilities considering the facts are being slowly drip-fed to us or to the media.
