Robinson bought 'key land' for £5
Ahh, more property shennanigans courtesy of Mr. and Mrs. Robinson of the DUP:

The Robinsons acquired the strip of land 50 metres from the boundary of their back garden at Gransha Road in Belfast from a property developer friend, the late Fred Fraser.
...
Mr Robinson approached Mr Fraser at the request of another developer who would later purchase part of their back garden for £459,000.

On the same day they sold the garden plot, Mr and Mrs Robinson sold that developer the access strip for the same £5 sum they had paid Mr Fraser 18 months earlier.
...
The DUP has described the BBC Newsline report as an example of the "ongoing BBC smear campaign" against its leader.

It's a smear! Butter wouldn't melt in their mouths! Why, it's not as if the Robinsons ever had any other dubious financial transactions with Fred Fraser, is it? Oh, err, wait a minute ...

1. And here's to you, Mrs (and Mr) Robinson
And here's to you, Mrs. Robinson
Jesus loves you more than you will know (Wo, wo, wo)
God bless you please, Mrs. Robinson
Heaven holds a place for those who pray
(Hey, hey, hey...hey, hey, hey)


...Sitting on a sofa on a Sunday afternoon
Going to the candidates debate
Laugh about it, shout about it
When you've got to choose.
Every way you look at it, you lose...


Paul Simon was a bit of a prophet!


Seriously, what a pair of crooks!

3. Could've been even worse
if they'd bought it from Fred West.
