Behold the new NI Minister for Health Jim Wells.
He replaces Edwin Poots.
What can we expect?

@vixenswc I am opposed to any procedure that leads to the killing of the unborn child.

@vixenswc Totally support reproductive advice as long as it does not promote the killing of unborn children.

Alarmed to learn that teaching creationism has been branded as extremist in England.

Well done to the Christian Institute for their strong backing of the family firm who refused to make a pro gay marriage cake.

What could possibly go wrong?
Previously: Some Men’s True Hate
Eamonn Farrell/Photocall Ireland
hes quite the troll fair play to him
Wells makes the unwell well?
Makes him fully qualified to be a DUP minister then.
Bet he’s a friend of the gays!
And I was worried about the health minister we have, but this muppet takes it to the extreme. Who wants a creationist health minister?
Patient: ” oh my leg is broken”
WellsMLA: ” well put some Jesus on it and you will be right as rain in the morning”.
The last one was too, I think.
Ahhhh geez, the deluded, dangerous fool.
Am I being stupid – what is that headline trying to say?!!!
Women back-lash?
An adjusted na bac leis
Good one BS
Ah I see – didn’t get that. I haven’t had my coffee yet…
Such a large head to have nothing in it…
Hah :)
and then he goes and fills it with religion, not good.
Happy days
haters gonna hate…and then get made NI health minister.
What the actual feic, how did they give him the health ministry ?
The morning after pill doesn’t ‘kill’ anything. It delays ovulation. Good to see the Health Minister has a strong grasp on health…
It’s probably a sin to know how lady- bits work.
Surely a sin to know that ladies even have bits
Thanks for leaving us with that in 1922.
Pardon my ignorance, Ultach, but is the moderate strain of Unionism making any headway at all against this kind of dinosaur? Does the Alliance Party hoover up that vote?
This dinosaur is what passes for moderate unionism I’m afraid, MF, since his lot, the DUP, have never overtly been involved in murder. They just pointed out the snow so others (extreme unionists of the UDA, UVF etc.) could roll and throw the snowballs They don’t regard Alliance as unionist. Neither do Alliance, except on the occasion they designated themselves as unionist in order to save the political institutions. Alliance are, of course, regarded by all shades of nationalism as moderate unionist since they are pro the constitutional status quo but would like it to be fairer, nicer, rosier etc. Which it can’t since it is based on a sectarian headcount. To answer your question, Alliance has succeeded in hoovering up some moderate unionist votes, notably in East Belfast where Peter Robinson lost his Westminster seat at the last general election to Naomi Long. But they have a lot of fluur suckin tae dae yit (as Ulster Scots would have it). That’s enough from me, I’m doing what I accuse Louis Lefronde (glory be) of doing and offtopicly airing my own personal obsessions. (And don’t apologise for ignorance. I wish I didn’t know a lot of the stuff I do!)
Thanks for that, Ultach. I’m shamefully badly informed about how things are up the road…
It must be infuriating for you to have people like this guy shaping political discourse…and in charge of health…
There’s another on in charge of Finance. Now thon’s a hames.
Will the new lad be any better than Sammy, do you reckon?
While we’re on the subject, can you recommend a decent book on the last fifty years of Northern Irish history (I’m taking liberties here, I know…)?
Now there’s a question. I’m sure there are but I don’t know. The best, or possibly just the most entertaining, reading to get a handle on our byzantine situation in the north east is, I think, the opinion pieces in the Irish New and in the Belfast Telegraph. They both give full whack to all shades. There are other newspapers which I don’t read.
Thanks also.
Uggh! There’s only one thing worse than Irish Politicians, Northern Irish politicians!
Creeps.
Care to differentiate there JF? There are some diamonds among the turds, mostly in SDLP and Alliance (though, biased as I am, I’m struggling to think of any unionist diamonds. Will welcome correction, as long as it’s relatively painless).
Mmm pro gay marriage cake, delicious!
