Check out Red Maria and her account of the incredible downfall of Iris Robinson. Who can now claim that fiction is stranger than fact in Northern Ireland?
Don’t forget that we also had recently “hard man” Gerry Adams, very public and emotional TV interview about his abusive father and his own brother. Then “no surrender” Peter Robinson’s equally poignant initial interview about his wife.
I’ve never beforehand seen an ounce of humanity or introspection in either man.
Maybe, just maybe this is not only just a personal tragedy for the individuals involved but potentially a good thing for Northern Irelands still embattled and divided communities. Since their leaders are for the first time fully united in their feet of clay.
Hat-tip Red Maria for post Title as well.

I hear that Lambeth militants are standing against a Black Woman officer in Lambeth. Two white swp's against a Black woman! Wow that's progress!
