i must be a bit slow, but i have just worked out what iris is up to.
i have never heard her say anything vaguely religious before, and the day after her husband takes over from "the big man", she is gay bashing, because that is what the bible clearly says and she always does what the bible says.
it seems that it is purely a political move to reassure the religious(bigoted) voters that voted for the DUP because Ian was religious(a bigot).
she picks on a group that are never going to vote for them to keep the people who might not vote for them next time. and she uses god to do it.
very clever political move, but completely offensive and cycnical.
bitch.

Sadly similar strategies have successfully been deployed in American politics, at least since good old Ronald Regan. Political expedience and religion have frequently been bed fellows (heterosexual ones obviously).
There is a little glimmer of hope from this side of the pond. Both Obama and McCain seem to be moving towards a new religious / political dialogue. We watch with interest.
