For those who don't know her, Iris Robinson is the MP for Strangford, a member of the Northern Ireland Assembly and chair of the Assembly's health committee. She is also Northern Ireland's First Minister Peter Robinson wife.
Be tolerant of others not her
She sparked outrage earlier this year when she offered to put gay men in touch with a psychiatrist who can make them straight.
Now it has emerged that during committee proceedings in the Commons last month, she told MPs:
"There can be no viler act, apart from homosexuality and sodomy, than sexually abusing innocent children.
"There must be sufficient confidence that the community has the best possible protection against such perverts."
When contacted by the Belfast Telegraph, Mrs Robinson reiterated her views and said she was following Scriptures.
"Can you think of anything more vile than man and man or woman and woman and sexually abusing children?" she told the Telegraph.
"What I say I base on biblical pronouncements, based on God’s word. I am amazed that people are surprised when I quote from scriptures. It shows the churches either aren’t preaching God’s word or are watering it down.
"I cannot think of anything more sickening than a child being abused. It is comparable to the act of homosexuality. I think they are all comparable. I feel totally repulsed by both."
That was then , this is now.....
Iris Robinson used £50,000 obtained from two property developers to help her young lover start a business.
