Patheic really. Grow up." You think opposition to this woman's feverish religious call to "cure" gay people are "right-wing homosexual responses"? I think you might need to "grow up" yourself, and on the way, buy a good dictionary to look up the word "right wing", Lucas, you seem rather confused as to its meaning. The ONLY way to "cure" a gay man is to kill him. Do you think this is okay then? Pathetic is right.... “Again, the usual right-wing homosexual responses to a different opinion. Patheic really.

I don't deny the woman is a bigot, and should not be in any position of power, but by making accusations that, had this happened in Germany, he could have been jailed for, only exacerbates the situation and gives the woman an appearance of acceptability and justification. Politicians are (generally) voted in by the common people. Equally they can also be voted out by the same process. However there are ways and ways, and hurling insults will just support their cause, and erode ours. “He described her as “polite and courteous” until he suggested her policies were similar to fascist regimes at the beginning of World War Two, saying she became “very heated”.”

Maybe we can sell NI to Iran, they have similar medieval views to this creature and her tribe of insufferable bigots, don't they? NI is like the angry uncle that no one wants over for tea. Maybe can get a few barrels of oil for the lot, and then both the UK and RoI can move on with their lives.

They hate catholics, jews, gays, gypsies, muslims.... get the picture? Just like Nazis... They despise anything that isn't a pure Protestant. They're the reason Northern Ireland is such a nasty little place and has been since 1920 when partition was enforced on the country, allowing small fish in a big pond become the big fish in a little pond where they could bully anyone they don't like. That's what it has all been about all these years. Of course she’s a nazi. she is an Ulster Unionist. They hate catholics, jews, gays, gypsies, muslims…. get the picture?

She's a hard core born-again christian from a constituency made up of people like her. The best way to be rid of her is to create such a stink about her unsuitability for any position of influence because of her facist views, that her party are damaged by her. They fully support her (her husband is the leader of the party and First Minister of Northern Ireland who lasy year defended her evil comments by saying she was only repeating 'god's' word.) Her and her husband were involved in the expenses scandal earlier this year, having claimed huge expenses for doing nothing. 'Thou shalt not steal!' - well some people regard HER as a thief.

As far as I am concerned she has lost all credibility to hold such a position. I think we need to make some serious changes to how people become MPS and impose minimum requirements in respect of qualifications and life experience. I mean if a nurse can be struck off or suspended for expressing similiar repulsive views ( "Nurse Who Asked Obama To Rid World Of Gays Is Suspended) then I think we should have a similiar system for MPS, whose role is surely just as important. I think there should be much more stringent requirements for becoming an MP and for remaining one. If I was running the political party she was involved with her career in politics would have come to an abrupt halt a long time ago. She has proved herself unfit to hold a position of influence over other peoples lives in my opinion. Why is this women still in a position of authority and influence over the lives of others.
