I really fucking despair sometimes.......


Iris "The Reason Cure" Robinson

Iris Robinson MP MLA and wife of the First Minister for the Northern Ireland Assembly, Peter Robinson, has a friend who can "cure" gayness. Her special friend is a Psychiatrist, allegedly, who has apparently "cured" many people. She said,
"I have a very lovely psychiatrist [I don't doubt that for a moment!] who works with me in my offices and his Christian background is that he tries to help homosexuals trying to turn away from what they are engaged in."

"And I have met people who have turned around to become heterosexual."
I'm in a grouchy mood as it is today and this sort of bogus bullshit quackery isn't helping. Thank fuckity The Royal College of Psychiatrists stepped in saying it
"did not regard homosexuality as a psychiatric disorder, adding members of the gay community should enjoy full rights, including "a right to protection from therapies that are potentially damaging, particularly those that purport to change sexual orientation."
Good stuff. Members of parliament need to engage their brains before they open their mouths to speak. This sort of hocus pocus nonsense needs to be condemned and dealt with in a quick sharpish manner. Sometimes living in this country feels like living in the freaking 70's.

Idiot.....

If you want to you can listen to her balderdash here.

26 People trying to get Manuel's attention:

At least I used a more flattering pic of her.
She's a fucking headcase all the same.

And who do I complain to around here about plagiarism?

Manuel said...

more flattering? no such thing.....total basket case.....and her hubby's not much better.....take your plagiarism case up with the internet management committee.....

Now that wifebeater* has been elevated to First Minister she clearly thinks she can say anything.

*not that I'm suggesting her husband ever beat her as the rumours suggested, I'm merely being ironic being that I know him to be a good God fearing Christian man, known for his wit, charm, warmth and compassion, just like all accountants.

p.s. is your picture before or after the thing that didn't happen?

Manuel said...

bbb: no way....not playing along.....when I get sued i'm passing the letter to you.....

Megan McGurk said...

Manuel, her and her ilk are the ones suffering from a psychiatric disorder calling for therapy.
Bigoted douchebag-ism.

Quiet one said...

I just can't believe people still say, or worse, think and believe stupid things like that. Too bad there isn't a "cure" for stupidness.

W.....

That's about as good as our "Religious" groups over here saying they can "pray the gay" right out of ya.

Now I wanna know, who's fruitier here?

Karen said...

If you don't mind Manuel I'll pass on clicking the link to hear her espouse such fuckheadedness in her own words. It was bad enough reading it. Makes me want to become an assassin.

i sometimes wonder why people like this woman (we have the same breed over here) care so deeply about what goes on behind closed doors? what makes them think another person's sexual orientation is ANY.OF.THEIR.BUSINESS?????

Pffffffftttttttttttttttttt.

I have a gay brother.

Fuck. Her.

She's got it all wrong - on just about every level. If about 10% of the general population is gay, and her friend can "cure" them, that's great... But what about the 70% of the population - including 98% of elected officials - who are fucking stooopid? Shouldn't he start there?

if he can cure 'gay', he should be able to cure 'stupid'.

Why should we have to suffer the religious babblings of this numpty. If she is christian, that's fair enough but it shouldn't have any bearing on her day to day work. It also shouldn't be the basis of your bloody campaign to win votes, Mr Bush..........fuckwit!!
Slightly off topic I know.... I also agree with you guys on the gay thing, she can stick her outdated views up her arse, but then of course they frown upon that sort of thing and she might have to pay her psychiatrist friend a visit.

Fucking religion...does my head in.
If anyone has the chance, take a read at 'The End of Faith' by Sam Harris.
Good read.

It's wingnuts like Iris who stop me from going into a bookies on a Sunday and from getting a pint at lunchtime on good Friday.

*stares wu=ith mouth wide open in shock*

that woman is completely deranged.

If you want to get really grouchy, be sure to go to www.godhatesfags.com. It's the web site Fred Phelps and family have made to put forward their point that, well, god hates fags apparently. Recently they showed up a speech a mother was making for her dead gay son (beaten to death by several other boys) and waved around signs with pictures of him and things like "AIDS" written on the pictures. They're a lovely group.

B said...

but Fred Phelps is gone so far it's comedic.

Sharon McDaid said...

Well said. It's shameful that she decided to run her wicked, thin-lipped little mouth off with this crap, in a discussion about a terrible attack on a gay man! I mean, talk about blaming the victim.

Daisyfae made a good point saying this magic psychiatrist should be able to cure stupid about as well as he can cure homosexuality. But can he do anything with evil, vicious, homophobic thugs?

Sharon McDaid said...

"But can he do anything with evil, vicious, homophobic thugs?"

To clarify, here I am referring to the creatures who attacked the man. Only 2 of those adjectives apply to Iris, I think.

Native Minnow said...

There's a minister over here who put together a list of bands that can turn your child gay. Ridiculous.

Old Knudsen said...

Scripture scripture scripture two weeks of intense scripture and that should chase the ghey demons out and cure these poor poo pirates of their unnatural man love desires.

Its about time someone came up with a cure because if I have to see blokes in speedos with feather boas walking doon the street one more time I'll have to do a nasty post about it.

FYI, army ghey, prison ghey, whatever you do on long sea voyages and my fondness for gurlyboys doesn't count, I'm as straight as the next man, as long as it isn't Manuel or that guy from Steps.

Mudflapgypsy said...

The question no one has asked yet is "Can we find a cure for Iris?"

Or even, if we are to carry on the spurious logic so far used by Iris, can we find a cure for the DUP?

I would add that I am of no particular political persuasion, rather, I think they are all scumbags.

Manuel said...

muddy: couldn't agree more......

Anonymous said...

Word on the scene is that her son is gay - now that would explain a lot....

The question I want answered is "Why is Iris Robinson seeing a shrink that can 'cure' you of being gay?".
Sounds like she's a woman with secrets, better get round there a start lezzin her up for Ulster!
