An elderly unionist married to a younger woman has laid down rules of operations in his house, especially touching on political visits.

Previously, the wife had prevailed upon him to stop entertaining visitors at their home and dishing out cash to political delegations.

But a few months down the line, the man has realised he needs the politicians—hopefully not more than he needs the wife—and declared that his home is open to any visitor.

This is after a number of politicians and leaders from his community threatened to distance them selves from him after he closed his doors on them.

The unionist would do any thing to remain relevant, and has swallowed the bait.
