Peter Robinson’s other problem

By Mark Pack | Mon 11th January 2010 - 11:29 pm

In amongst all the political trouble for the DUP’s Peter Robinson, one other problem has been largely overlooked – an Electoral Commission investigation into donations. The problem? In public he’s talked about giving donations to the DUP which would have required declaring. But there is no trace of them in the DUP’s records of declared donations.

This is just the sort of issue which, for a popular politician at the height of their powers, rarely turns in to a big deal – apologise, blame bureaucratic details and move on. However Peter Robinson is anything but that at the moment.

    Thanks! Why does the State borrow money when it can create it? Why do we pay foreigners for our own money?
