If you thought the DUPs actions lately were anything new, David Ervine summed them up well…They are self serving and power hungry, that’s why they licked the boot of Boris Johnson. Unionism deserves better. David Ervine resented how working class unionism/loyalism was used, and generally how vested interests on both sides propagated mistrust to their own end. Northern Ireland not working suits some people very nicely.

However my brother and sisters had protestant partners which back in the day was frowned upon!We were never "allowed" to be bigots or taught hatred & from personal experience we always treated protestants with the utmost respect (as we did every1). i find it refreshing to know that decent protestant ppl are realists accepting that a majority may wish one day to be a part of a united ireland?Plus when meeting fellow citizens from ni abroad theyve always been very pleasant.I see the problem as indoctrination of old hatred& what some may perceive as "theirs" that their ancestors fought & died for?For example i married a protestant English girl & there was a wee bit of scepticism on both sides but never a bad word & as for our Wedding it was a great day with no animousity what so ever(hell some of my friends had never met an English person NOT in uniform.So there is definitely hope that one day the ppl can live side by side in harmony on the island of Ireland with ALL its diversity. ​@@vercoda9997

The weird thing about the DUP is that their stance makes it seem to ordinary Brits (if they think about it at all) that there is in fact one place for them to go: into a united Ireland.

[@dwansbo]

The DUP are mistaken in their interpretation, when they refer to the Conservative and Unionist Party. The term was used long before the 1801 Act of Union which refers to Northern Ireland. The Unionist part of the title relates to the Union between England and Scotland. The majority in Britain have no great interest in Northern Irelands place in the United Kingdom. Current events in NI shows an overwhelming majority in favour of self determination, the people of NI being ruled by and for the people of NI and that means devolved government by a Stormont Assembly. Northern Irelands place in the UK has been defined by Brexit. The DUP should accept that it is an integral part of the Island of Ireland, it cannot be separated by geography, politics religion or ethnicity. The people of Ireland benefit from EU membership, NI has the fortune to be part of that. The EU is not a colonial power imposing its rules by force or invasion. That role belonged to the British Empire, those days are gone.

[@waywarddarkwolf8064]

Poor Sammy looked slightly sober, can they not have their debates about Northern Ireland until after lunch when Sammy is at his best. And I know that he is still contributing to my divi in my shares in Bushmills. The DUP don't care about their own voters who are suffering because Stormont is not working. Today was the biggest strike by public service workers in Northern Ireland, without the DUP in Stormont, no matter how much the other parties feel the strikers should get a cost of living wage increase it cannot be sanctioned.

Dear Mr Wilson, A reunited Ireland is an inevitability at this stage, and nobody has done more to ensure this than the DUP. As a fellow Irishman, I thank you from the bottom of my heart. I can only assume that you're surreptitiously working for our side. It's the only possible reason. Is Gerry still sending you a weekly thank you card? Just a few things to help you with the transition: 1. It's Derry. Any attempt to call it L*****derry will result in it being changed to Dublinderry. 2. The 26th of December is St. Stephen's day. That's only a minor thing, so we won't get bogged down. 3. Eircodes. They're amazing. Just enter it into the sat nav, and you're there. No need for a house number. 4. You'll soon get used to the metric system. It makes much more sense than what Britain lumped you with. The imperial system looks like number magnets being thrown at a fridge. 5. Feel free to have your little Orange Pride parades. We'll reserve spaces in Tallaght, Mayfield, Moyross and Ballybeg. Just remember that a fast moving target is harder to hit. 6. Evolution. It's a thing. Read more than one book. 7. You already get called Paddy in Britain, so no change there. 8. Free sTayto are superior. You'll love them. 9. Vauxhalls will now be Opels. Makes no difference, now that they're all French. 10. Gay people are neither evil nor trying to get you. 11. Get learning your new national anthem. The Fields of Athenry is optional.

Why don’t the unionists renounce the exact brexit they voted for as they clearly hate it 👮🏻‍♂️

[@SteveB21]

The DUP would say they are still pro-Brexit but this isn't the one they voted for. They wanted a hard border with the Republic, customs posts and all.

[@charliekavanagh1217]

The DUP are a disgrace

[@markharrison260]

Are they still being paid?

[@TheBigMidweek1889]

That's the same question, no doubt , that Wilson would be asking at PMQ's if Sinn Fein were on strike instead.

If you dont do your job, why arent you fired?? Can the people not bring signatures or something to get rid of them?

[@user-dd7cf5rh8n]

You only have to watch the Tories behind him when he is replying to Sammy's question they have zero interest in what Sammy had to say

[@Martin-tn5lm]

He surely hasn't taken out an Irish Passport but 10s of 1000s of his young neighbours have - in order to be free to live and work in the EU.

[@smalrast]

Sommy keep taking those blood pressure tablets and keep signing your expenses claims its all you are any good for.

[@user-ee6nf7kz1n]

Sammy needs to lose his seat and then he might see sense ,

[@mharbinson8952]

Its absolutely because of Sinn Fein first minister that they say they have issue with deal. Couldnt agree with you more. DUP dont realise that their constant complaining and inaction is more damaging to unionism. Not sharpest tools in shed.

[@martinflood7984]

Can Sammy not see than nobody in House of Commons cares about Northern Ireland?

[@martinmcdonald4207]

Northern Ireland is working for it`s people accept the DUP.

[@heyzus]

Just proving they are not democratic unless they are in the lead! Time to divvy up all the warm chicken shed money and piss off!

[@jimbrown5552]

Watching from Ireland

[@user-hn5kh7qt9r]

as you say many times: Tories have no interest in NI. Get back to work: end of!

[@davidtracey5471]

Every time I see Sammy my first thought is, I wonder who does the knot in his tie for him.
