LONDON

CHILD ABUSE, PUBLIC drunkenness, yobbishness, affairs, hypocrisy, it’s all so run of the mill among Britain’s ruling elites, that former DUP leader Jeffrey Donaldson’s dreadful behaviour over decades, often performed in plain sight, barely raised an eyebrow among UK politicians, police and security agencies, say commentators.

“You have to do something more than vomit on the Mayor of Beijing or drop into a gay sauna of an afernoon, to grab people’s attention these days,” says Enoch Unoch, a blogger who specializes in low behaviour among the high and mighty. “Chasing sex in all directions, trying to kiss colleagues at functions, getting pissed out of your brain, then telling everyone you’re a tee total God fearing Christian fundamentalist, that’s so run of the mill no one really gives it much attention. Remember, it was only solid complaints by victims of actual child rape that brought all this stuff about the former DUP leader out. Otherwise, he’d still be puking on people abroad, chasing anything with a pulse, and telling his constituents that the Bible is his best friend. Where is the News of the World when it’s needed?”
