Edwin Poots (far nuttier than his admittedly weird name would suggest) elected leader of the DUP. The earth is 6000 years old according to Edwin and you can feck off out of it with your Carbon 14 dating of stuff that is older because it is not.

I fucking despise her and every bullshit word that comes out of her mouth.

Haha. He got in?

He’s a thoroughly unpleasant homophobic bigot as well as being nuttier than squirrel shit.

Leader of the DUP is elected by about 41 people iirc.

This is the first time they’ve had an election. It used to be more of a coronation. He won 19-17 according to the Grauniad.

HE HAS A MANDATE FROM THE PEOPLE OF NORTHERN IRELAND!

(Best Ulsterman shouty voice)

He’ll get mandated by lobbed brick in half the province.

Thought they were against dates for mans?

I’d love to know what Poots makes of the Winchcombe meteorite:

it holds within it chemistry that existed at the formation of our Solar System 4.6 billion years ago…

Ulster says NO!!! to meteorites presumably. Or Ice Ages. Or Geological time.

I asked a funda-Mentalist about this once. Apparently, things like this and dinosaur fossils are planted by Satan to lead people off the true path.

Sounds plausible. I have heard that Satan is a bit of a trickster.
