Are you a friend of Iris?



In pre-decrim America, it was quite common for homosexual men to approach one another at parties and ask "are you a friend of Dorothy?" Well now it appears that closet DUP voters are in Northern Ireland are now trying something similar.

"Are you a friend of Iris?" If so, would you like to come to dinner? Yes, it's a dupper, or, for those not in the know, supper with the DUP. Dinner parties are lovely things. The only problem with a normal dinner party is that "if you admit being a DUP voter it all goes terribly quiet and everyone suddenly has to leave." Some people just don't like the taste of bigotry.

Dupper Club however serves up tradition DUP fare of fine food, irrational hatred and sectarianism. "Say Ian, would you please pass me the sash, I mean, salt."

And on an aside, it appears that the dinner hosts featured in the Irish Times article are both friends of Iris and friends of Dorothy. I wonder, would those two gals get along.
