Jeffrey Donaldson has got his come-uppance. He was always parroting the virtues of decent Ulster living. Now he has been caught renting so-called adult movies in a London hotel room. Peter Robinson, the dour jokeless leader of the DUP, says, "Mr Donaldson has been asked to pay back any expenses which have not been properly incurred and I understand that he intends to do so. In the light of his categorical denials, Mr Donaldson is clearly entitled to a presumption of innocence. If any evidence to substantiate the allegations can be provided we would of course wish to consider it." That is absolutely correct.However, Donaldson's denials seem a bit hollow in light of the Daily Telegraph's account of the matter. I don't really mind if he wants to watch such movies in his spare time. What does bother me is that he saw fit to shove all the rental costs down as legitimate expenses.
The DUP is committed to Christian values, says the Telegraph. Possibly. But forgiveness is not high on their agenda. Jeffrey Donaldson spent a lot of time railing against other for immorality and not living a good life. His best bet now is to think about the beams in his own eyes before deciding on what to about the motes in others!
