Iris Robinson's crimes against English

One of the things that's annoyed me about Iris Robinson (apart from the bigotry and corruption) is her contempt for a decent language. The fundamentalist sect she leads is the Light 'n' Life Free Methodist connexion (I gather that actual Methodists aren't too keen on bigotry).

Why Iris? What's wrong with Light AND Life? Why must you make your church sound like a coffee sweetener? Emma's brilliant suggestion is that your church is so Old Testament that you had to take out the words AD!

Perhaps there's a linguistic aspect to her fundamentalism too. When you're a loyalist fundamentalist whose main political belief is hating Irish Catholics, having a name only one letter removed from Irish must be uncomfortable. She's got a lot to prove…

You'll be laughing on the other sides of your faces when you are surrounded by fire 'n' brimstone though won't you?
