The preposterous Mr Poots

Unless he’s changed his wacky views since I last read anything about him, Northern Ireland has as its Environment Minister a man with some strange notions. His name is Edwin Poots.

Apart from his rather cute and memorable monker, Mr Poots has weird ideas – ideas that make you wonder what sort of environment he thinks he’s presiding over.

For Mr Poots, you see, believes that the world was created in six days, until the Lord got knackered and shagged out and decided to put his feet up for a day (and who can blame the old geezer?).

Then God had a change of mind, and decided to use his spare time to create some pillocks.

Unless Mr Poots has changed his wacky views, Mr Poots is one of them.

We welcome lively and challenging comments. However, please try to stay on topic, be polite and do not use abusive, racist or sexist language, and do not incite your readers to violence or other antisocial behaviour, or your comment will be deleted. This isn't censorship: it's a case of staying within the bounds of decency and having an eye to the law, although we realise the law will be different in different countries.

We do not bar anonymous comments at the moment, but we would prefer that those commenting play fair and use their name or at least a regular nom de plume. It does show a confidence in your convictions. We know, too, that it's easy to use a false name and be effectively anonymous, but, again, we appeal to your sense of good practice. Even a wacky nom de plume is better, since at least readers will come to know that contributor and maybe remember her or his previous comments.

Blatant commercial advertising will be removed.
