Umm. Your missus has the tolerance of a saint if she takes that kind of lip!

The men will have been keen to avoid the perceived emasculation of playing second fiddle to Chelly. I think on paper Emma is a good fit for the job. And it does sort any angry little man accusations the men would have got.
Come to think of it, I suppose none of the other Shinner men wanted to be second fiddle to Arlene either, except that Martin was stuck with the job.
And yoki says misogyny is made up.
My missus needs no "m" card herself let me tell you!
I'll thank you not to put words in my mouth if you don't mind.The men will have been keen to avoid the perceived emasculation of playing second fiddle to Chelly. I think on paper Emma is a good fit for the job. And it does sort any angry little man accusations the men would have got.

It's certainly not always made up, but it is frequently over-played.
And increasingly so.

Auch, I don't know about that. We have a very long history of patriarchal behaviours, still ongoing. I'm thankful we have women who publicly push back on it. Our young daughters need them to do it.

They are now having the ritual row (begging bowl) with Westminister over money.
Well…..I’m trying to be nice for once. With one whiff of her pencil, she can get a pothole filled, provided of course, the pencil of her new best friend Emma, gets parity of esteem, and also gives a whiff.Seat of power
Good one.
Both sides now have the children of terrorists leading the government

Yet only one of them says there was no alternative to terrorism.
Never thought I'd be ashamed to be a resident of this lovely wee country.
But I am now!
The DUP had the perfect opportunity to sit back and let the shinners go rattling the begging bowl themselves and show them up for the parasites that they are. Which I assumed was why they let the shinners take the big jobs.
Yet they're all in it together.
An absolute afront the lot of them.

They also seem to be denying that they agreed to revenue raising measures/fiscal plan as part of the deal with the Treasury for 3 billion etc.
Michelle has already ruled out water charges and raising regional rate.

Typical shinner dishonesty.
But why aren't the DUP letting them take a solo run on it?
The shinners are calling the shots, so let them call the shots and deal with it.
Shameful, and in the case of the DUP stupid as well.

Begging bowl mentality is a common factor across all the Executive parties.
