    So young Ian Paisley has packed his bags.
    http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/northern_ireland/7250877.stm

    He of course had done nothing wrong. Seems like the dynasty stops with big Ian. My own feeling is that the young lad has been guilty of a fair degree of incompetence and failing to recognise the propriety of perceived actions as a minister. Now I wonder where have we read something of this kind... :rolleyes:

    Glad to see the back of him, he was almost more biggoted than the father.

    Lobbying for a developer, if true, is positively admired down here in the south, nay it is seen as a right for many local politicians. Life is probably too quiet for young Ian I would say, probably moving into business of some sort.

    He's an overly cocky bigot, who gets by on his daddy's name and reputation. He claims he quit, not because he was caught in bed with a developer, but because the scandal it caused was taking up too much of his time. Good bye and good riddance. I hope you lose your seat at the next election, but thats unlikely, as you'll be voted in on your name once again.

    dear god, how many current inhabitants of Leinster House could we say that about?

    so he's been forced out because of his relationship with a developer. Good for the North. How embarrassing for us....

    Still, good riddance

    great to see him gone but incase people didn't realise Ian jnr has many a full time job, he is a part timer fisherman, a full timer political advisor to his dad's aka MP and he was also a full time minister. what a list of jobs maybe he can concentrate in sprewing out his bile with more free time on his hands.

    but saying that maybe he should of paided more attention to how bertie handles things.

    It suggests one thing, do we actually need politicians? With so much time on his hands and all these extra jobs he clearly had little to occupy himself in his political job, a bit like the Dail and Seanad.

    a very good point Mr Micro!

    surely however, given that they are paid so well, they must be beavering away like Trojans, no? Oh I see :mad:

    there really should be a rule that prevents offspring of TDs or MLAs from getting into parliament, they are almost always less capable then their dads, and the effect is to reduce the overall "gene pool" of the parliament.

    A belief in gender identity involves a level of faith as there is nothing tangible to prove its existence which, as something divorced from the physical body, is similar to the idea of a soul. - Colette Colfer

    He's just as bigotted as his father but without the cunning to know which way the tide is flowing.

    Good riddance to a bad politician, the kind we need less of for the future.
