50 years ago today the Bloody Sunday massacre occurred.

It took a good old Scouser to give voice to the victims.

Interesting price comparison.

Cost of living: How we pay more than most of EU for cars, concerts and even fast food

The cost of living in Ireland is higher than most European countries as rising inflation and higher taxes hit consumers on the double.

Couldn't happen to a nicer man! Sammy Wilson stands out as an absolute nutter in a party of absolute nutters! Quite a feat!

Shows the state of politics here when a 'head-the-ball' like him gets reelected time and time again. Thoroughly depressing. Maybe he needed to take Van Morrison along as his cheerleader.

I fear that those jeering are doing so because the DUP are not hard-line enough. I see a swing to the TUV which is not good news. Hard-line to Harder-line. I cannot see any way for this to end well. Brexit screwed us and the DUP are complicit.

Mate, as a NI resident can you explain why a loyalist crowd was booing him. Serious question. I probably haven't been keeping up to date with NI politics lately.

This explains it better than I can. Basically, they don't think that the DUP has been 'tough' enough about the Protocol, I think.

DUP's Sammy Wilson calls for unionists to stick together after being booed at anti-protocol rally

A DUP MP booed and jeered at an anti-protocol rally has said unionists must stick together - as he faced accusations of making “unwarranted personal attacks” on a fellow unionist.

Someone shouts about the DUP withdrawing their candidates - presumably as a Unionist pact - but probably in favour of the TUV. Not a good alternative in my view.
