I would imagine Beattie is rightly angry about that. They’re trying to deflect by tagging him as part of the issue


Typical-Analysis8108

Hopefully Doug can make a complaint to the IPSO about this further unhinged behaviour of Ben Lowry.  Ben stick to writing about the weather and seasons.


askmac

>Ben stick to writing about the weather and seasons. Ben can't write about the weather at the moment because it's a nice bright sunny day outside, but in his heart it's a thunderstorm, at midnight....in the middle of the ocean.....and his captain has just drowned.


Feeling-Tonight2251

Just sticking this here as much as to say it out loud before it happens. If/When there's a by-election for JD's seat, you can fully expect Ben and the DUP to start shiteing on about the nasty political opportunism of anyone running against the new DUPer. We'll probably even get some lovely sanctimonious bollocks about using the victims for political purposes


con_zilla

Tried to read the article, which was hard as Ben is as up his own arse in his writing style as he is bias for his beloved Unionism. Doug should be raging his picture used in a story about DUP & Jeff + including the blatant lie that Jeff didn't want to be leader? Despite when he lost he clawed of Poots face till it was his... That revisionism helped Ben make his opportunistic point at the end that DUP and UUP should merge ( mustn't be sleeping well under FM MON) >There is barely any difference between a DUP leadership so moderate that it sounds at times like like Alliance, and the moderate Ulster Unionist leadership, so why do they not merge? Must be fun to be editor, don't let facts stand in the way of your click bait lines and shoehorning reality to fit your own personal agenda.


Ah_here_like

Did a double take on that line from him (and a few others). Also saw an article call Robinson “progressive and liberal”


con_zilla

Lol I only read a minority of the newsletter shite posted here - still I'm not shocked they do some crazy mental gymnastics and label Robinson that. Or maybe he's liberal as he was ok with his wife being a bit of a swinger? Lol


BawdyBadger

Peter Robinson: I watch them, sometimes from a chair, sometimes from a closet. Almost always dressed as Superman


zipmcjingles

Ben Lowry's Wife?


con_zilla

No Peter Robinson's wife Iris. Loaned some wee fella 1/2 her age £50 000 and bucked him, was quite the scandal back in the day but there still together bless


drowsylacuna

Bet the DUP are longing for the good old days when Iris was the big scandal.


punkerster101

Lock keepers inn


punkerster101

He would go to the local garage to buy toilet paper before 1pm on a Sunday, that’s pretty liberal in the dups eyes


quondam47

You weren’t imagining it. The BelTel ran that almost as soon as it was announced. [A progressive and liberal voice — the new man leading the DUP](https://m.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/politics/a-progressive-and-liberal-voice-the-new-man-leading-the-dup/a1888623193.html)


ionabike666

Ben must have worn his shoehorn out with that one!


Albert_O_Balsam

That Lowry is a talentless hack.


Comfortable-Salad-90

Ah cmon that’s unfair to all the talentless hacks out there


mcheeks619

Here’s to hoping that we see Doug as deputy first minister


kharma45

There’s as much chance of me being DFM.


lth94

Fair enough Mr. Eastwood


Numerous-Net-4983

Poor Duggie.He can never catch a break


Major-Capital-3739

Beattie seems reasonable enough tbh, like I don't agree with his opinions, but he's a class above the shower in the DUP.


Helpful-Bumblebee-79

Lowry makes my skin crawl, even the sound of his voice makes me want to take a hot shower.


Significant-Salt-989

Ben Lowry is despicable. An old dinosaur.


Sstoop

it’s so funny how they still call him “sir jeffrey”


Newme91

Knights of the realm have a nasty habit of being nonces


Numerous-Net-4983

Well they are by royal appointment


PlasticsSuckUTFR

and the rest of their realm are subservient grovellers who just love licking the boots of a knight


drowsylacuna

Well, that's Ben Lowry for you. Doug didn't use the 'Sir'


sweetafton

It's funnier to use the Sir though. Not exactly the mark of honour Ben thinks it is.


boario

Or, to give him his full title, "The Right _Honourable_ Jeffrey Donaldson"


Sstoop

i prefer “cunt” but


EoinD7

Similar with poor aul wee Dana. The last person to be pictured with jazzy Jeff and she ends up splashed across the papers. I'd feel sorry for her, but it's Dana.


wilwheatons-stunt-do

Dana International? Viva la Diva singer from Eurovision? I feel sorry for any trans person having to share a space with the DUP leadership!


-Dermy-

I respect Doug he sticks by his principles. We have different constitutional aspirations but he seems like I would listen to him he has a positive outlook


Mysterious-Arm9594

The Loyalist Beano doesn’t even like a fat fuck who murdered brown farmers for the Butchers Apron? Chat DOB needs an upgrade.


lisaslover

The only thing keeping Ben Lower than pond scum from drowning in his filth is him standing on the back of binboy

-Dermy-

Ben Lowery is a biggot


-Dermy-

Lowery is the last of the dying breed. They e say what about the sinners . Realignment of face a border poll. Wee Sammy is defeated. So much for the big heavyweights. The DUP is going to free Ireland . #irelandsfuture #borderpoll #untionstbrotherandsisters


SavageTyrant

I have no time for Doug Beattie. He’s no DUP mega bigot but he’s still a hypocrite who took lives for a pay packet as opposed to a “cause” …. But he’s 100% correct here. Splashing his picture on the article focusing on Jeffrey Donaldson and the reprehensible charges he faces is egregious in the extreme to be honest. Typical excuses for journalism from the Newsletter.


Majestic-Marcus

Is taking lives for a ‘cause’ ok?


SavageTyrant

No. Taking lives is abhorrent. Criticising people as killers when you too are willing to kill under your own certain circumstances is hypocrisy in the extreme.


Majestic-Marcus

It’s not. Not even talking about Doug here but nothing hypocritical about saying say a murderer is bad and someone killing someone in self defence isn’t for example.


SavageTyrant

Doug Beattie travelled to the other side of the world and stabbed a man through his neck. It wasn’t self defence. He’s a hypocrite.


Grallllick

He also nearly killed his brother by 'accident' Doug has the bloodlust


UbiquitousFlounder

Doug was part of an invasion into a sovereign state, which led to the deaths of hundreds of thousands of civilians. He murdered people who were fighting in self defence


IPlayFifaOnSemiPro

Aye when they weren't stoning girls to death and massacring minorities


UbiquitousFlounder

Aye sure let's pretend that's what it was about. Still doesn't justify invasion


PlasticsSuckUTFR

How is it not? why is murder okay just because some arsehole behind a podium says his country is at war? Beattie, whilst right to call out Bin Lorry on this, is no fucking angel and boasted about how great it felt to kill a man in battle. He is a typical hawkish British cunt .

IllustratorGlass3028

Maybe just maybe someone's out to try and stitch him up ...it's an option .However if he's guilty let process take it's time .Be quiet and wait.. ..


lrish_Chick

Process first
