I am amazed at the tenacity of Peter Robinson.
He is the First Minister of the Northern Ireland Assembly and he has had a very, very bad year so far.
1. He is trying to mediate between Catholic Republican ministers and Unionist British ministers who are intransigent.
2. His 60-year-old wife (who is also a Member of Parliament) has confirmed that she had an affair with a 19-year-old young buck. She confirmed suicide attempts last year and has now been sectioned under the Mental Health Act and is in a secure Psychiatric Unit.
3. Said wife syphoned big money into helping her toy-boy set up a restaurant business
4. He stepped down (temporarily) from office to clear his name that he knew about his wife funding said toy-boy.
5. He has cleared his name and retaken his seat as First Minister of Northern Ireland
6. The Irish Republicans have a contract out on him for supporting the British view
7. The pro-British unionists have a contract out on him for supporting the Republican view
Balls of Steel, or Rock-stupid?
