    Iris Robinson is Depressed

    Oh; and she's resigning from public life.

    It's true, money doesn't make you happy.

    No more public homophobic utterances.

    I do have some sympathy for the woman, she was brought up in by protestant extremists to be a protestant extremest and marry a protestant extremist (i.e. Peter Robinson of the DUP). Her whole life was arranged for her, how sad.

    BBC News - DUP First Minister's wife Iris Robinson quits politics

    Fair play to her for admitting she is battling mental illness. This may help reduce the stigma, though with some of her utterances......

    Never a nice illness for anyone to get. It doesn't help that she partakes in a political movement that is inherently negative in nature. I won't be losing sleep though.

    Maybe with help, she can be turned around.

    I have sympathy for anyone who suffers from depression. I wish her well even though I am not a Unionist.

    It certainly will.

    "I have a debilitating mental illness."

    "Well at least you're not Iris Robinson."

    I hope she gets over this

    - Mental Illness is something I have had to deal with myself

    - from other people!

    While I have no time for her politics at least she had a mind of her own and did not pussyfoot around on things that upset the PC brigade.

    At least she has shown some courage in 'coming out' on this issue and not hid behind the curtain.

    Get well soon Iris.
