Sir Jeffrey Donaldson goooooone..................
............always thought he was a wrong 'un!
Always was a bit of smarmy, holier than thou type.
DUP may as well fold at this point
they were fucked next election anyway. before all this unpleasantness. The concern is what takes its place in advocating for the holy roller types in NI. . . .
But at least for today, we can all be happy that their iminent demise will make the world a better place, if only for a little while.

Always the ones you most suspect.
All the money you made will never buy back your soul
I thought this a well.
Rumours have been around for years.
This has the potential to blow open a lot of dirt that has been around for a while but kept quiet by powers that be. I understand that No10 were not kept in the loop and were caught by surprise when the charges were announced, possibly deliberately? UK security forces will be concerned. There will be a lot of senior folk in Ni and UK shitting themselves at the moment and desperate to keep a lid on all of this. However I suspect this is the breaching of the dam and a lot of unsavory shit will now, rightly, emerge.

I wasn't clear if the allegations related to adults, or children, but this report spells it out in the first line, so now we know why the PSNI was so careful to not let it leak before the arrest, & why the resignation happened immediately.

A husband and wife from Co Down have been charged with a series of historical sexual offences against two children.
The 61-year old male was arrested at his home alongside his wife, 57, around 6am on Thursday, March, 28.
The pair were transported to the Antrim Custody suite for interview.
Both are facing allegations of serious historical sexual offences.
The male is facing one charge of rape and has been accused of a number of other sexual offences, including historical gross indecency.
His wife is facing a number of charges relating to the alleged offences faced by her husband.
Both were interviewed separately at intervals throughout the day in Antrim and were 28-day charged. They were released shortly after 10pm.
The pair are expected to appear in court on Thursday, April 25.
It is understood police are continuing their investigations into the allegations, and both parties were released on strict bail conditions associated with the offences charged.
Bail conditions include no contact between the co-accused who must now reside at separate addresses.
A PSNI spokesman said: “Detectives from the Police Service of Northern Ireland arrested and charged a 61-year-old man for non-recent sexual offences. A 57-year-old woman was also arrested and charged at the time for aiding and abetting additional offences.
“Both are due to appear before Newry Magistrates’ Court on April 24.”

I wonder if this will finally see a Kincora reckoning in the fallout.

Ironically, it was generally thought he was a wrong 'un in the other direction.SaintK wrote: Fri Mar 29, 2024 1:22 pm ............always thought he was a wrong 'un!https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-norther ... 68686691Sir Jeffrey Donaldson has been charged with historical sexual offences and has quit as Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) leader.
