Current Affairs Irish Border and Brexit

[thirdmantackle]

NI used as a bargaining chip once again by a British government.

100 years on from the original partition

History has a habit of repeating itself

Your mate here....

Can you imagine the popcorn if there votes wing it against Johnson (which I wold predict they will). I suspect he loses narrowly, well within the 20 vote margin.

Oh dear, Sammy's put his foot in it again as his attempt to invoke imperialism backfires spectacularly:

The DUP's Sammy Tache has reiterated that its MPs are staunchly against Boris Johnson's new Brexit deal, describing its opposition as "solid as the rock of Gibraltar".

Gibraltar, where the residents are British citizens, overwhelmingly voted to Remain in the EU.

Oops.

DUP signals possible compromise to facilitate Brexit deal

Special arrangements leaving North within UK may be acceptable, says Arlene Foster

www.irishtimes.com

Asked if Northern Ireland-specific solutions were possible if they did not affect the constitutional position of the North, Ms Foster said: “Well, I hope so, because what we want to see working . . . I think what we want to see is a recognition that we are on an island. We do recognise the unique history and geography, but we also have to recognise that we are in the United Kingdom.”




In short.....Mrs. Foster finally acknowledging that Northern Ireland is way different to Northern England.....

Mrs Foster is the best reason on the planet to give up our disgraceful colonial past and enable Ireland to be Irish. Few things worse than an Orangeman

Arlene is also one of the greatest walking adverts for contraception!

Ouch! That is nasty coming from the Times.

Funny though!

The DUP are like a battered wife.

No matter how badly her husband treats her or betrays her, she keeps clinging on.

This is excruciatingly embarrassing from that renowned, incorruptible political titan, Mr. Ian Paisley jnr.

Boris has just thrown the DUP under that beautiful big red, white and blue bus!

DUP spokesman briefing that they'll look at all amendments tabled in the Commons to put their support to in order to stop the clown's deal...and they're not excluding backing a vote to have a second referendum.

lol

Arlene is also one of the greatest walking adverts for contraception!

Arlene Foster is touring the countryside in her chauffeur driven car.
Suddenly a cow jumps out into the road. They hit it full on and the car comes to a stop.
Arlene in her usual charming manner, says to the chauffeur.......
"You get out and check - you were driving."
The chauffeur gets out, checks and reports that the animal is dead. "You were driving; go and tell the farmer," says Arlene
Five hours later the chauffeur returns totally plastered, his hair ruffled and with a big grin on his face.
"My God, what happened to you?" asks Arlene .
The chauffeur replies: "When I got there, the farmer opened his best bottle of malt whisky, the wife gave me a slap-up meal and the daughter made love to me."
"What on earth did you say?" asks Arlene
"I knocked on the door and when it was answered, I said to them....
"I'm Arlene Foster’s chauffeur and I've just killed the cow."

That is the only sensible thing for them to do.

They won’t do it though.....that would entail admitting they got it wrong in t’ first place and as we have witnessed first hand this past two years, humility is not a DUP trait and that with them, bigotry will always trump commonsense.

That penny is beginning to drop that they picked the wrong horse in this race and that their Union would have been better protected if they had backed Remain.

It's going to be hilarious watching them trying to squirm their way out of this mess with their own electorate in the coming weeks and months. The next Jeffrey Donaldson interview by Mark Carruthers is going to be as unmissable as the last one was.
