What would one do without The Advocate? It reports that Paul Berry has resigned from 'Dr' Ian Paisley's DUP over allegations that he had met a male prostitute for sex. I have no particular views about him having [allegedly] patronised a gay sex worker, but I do have certain feelings of schadenfreude because if someone allies him-/herself with a noisome Party such as the DUP then, quite frankly, I think that person deserves all the opprobrium that is going.
Incidentally, I recall that when I first heard about this last July I felt that there was a certain parallel with a case several years ago involving a senior executive working for arch-homophobe Brian Souter of Stagecoach. That individual had been arrested, as I recall, in an hotel in Houston for having also patronised a gay prostitute - his former boss was not amused and soon dispensed with his services.
Moral of this - 'karma'. Hypocrisy is not an attractive character trait and often receives its own amply merited 'reward'.
