Another "thought police" investigation in the UK. This time its an MP-Assembly Member in Northern Ireland.

Iris Robinson is known for her pro-life convictions and is also the wife of Peter Robinson, recently elected as First Minister of Northern Ireland replacing the retiring Ian Paisley.

So Iris spoke the truth and the gays are up in arms about it.

Well, their being offended will not change the truth, even if they somehow do silence Iris (which does not seem likely). IMHO, they should seek counseling for their unnatural behavior.

No harm in saying that...in fact it is quite compassionate of Iris.

So much for Free Speech.

[Gay State Conservative]

Jeffrey Donaldson, the DUP's Lagan Valley MP, said Mrs Robinson was entitled to express her views. "This is a country where people have freedom of speech," he said.

What you said may have been true at one time,Mr Donaldson,but can you present us with a single shred of evidence that it's true today?

Iris Robinson, the chair of the Stormont health committee, called homosexuality an "abomination" and urged gay people to seek counseling.

I agree wholeheartedly. Free speech seems to be a foreign concept in Europe and Canada.

[Neoliberalnot]

I heard the pedophiles are similarly outraged on comments made concerning their behavior. What it the world coming to?

John O'Doherty, a member of the South Belfast District Policing Partnership, said he has complained to police.

The Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. Home of "HE CALLED ME A NAME!"

Never mind the knife sticking out of your ribcage as you enter the Tube station.

This is a country where people have freedom of speech,

Is it really? They don't have a constitution that states that, so it could be changed at a politician's whim.

[Leftism is Mentally Deranged]

“freedom of speech” in England applies only to non-Whites and non-Christians.

Consequences? Sure! The gays have th eright to mock her. They have a right to vote against her or refuse to paatronize her business.

They don’t have a right to destroy their livelihood or have them jailed. That is for fascists, that is, the Left.
