The DUP could turn up and shite on their voters kitchen tables and they'd still vote for them.

I'm not sure this will continue. Of course there will be a hard core that will vote them no matter what but there will be a percentage that will be getting sick of the antics and dishonesty.

Unfortunately at present a very significant number of their voters are like goldfish. Come election time these things become a long forgotten memory. All they hear in the run up to an election is "fleg, taking our culture, united Ireland, the Fenians are come to burn us out" and so on.

The challenge is for the UU to try to get some of the votes across..

Seems like Ian Og has a history of being a champion for despicable regimes (providing he gets a luxury all expenses paid holiday).

Maybe all we have to do is offer him an all-inclusive stay at Ashford castle and we'll have DUP support for a United Ireland.......

Ian Paisley's political affiliation has been changed to Sinn Féin on online encyclopedia Wikipedia.

The site listed the 51-year-old's political party as the DUP from "birth-2018".

Sinn Féin was listed as the North Antrim MP's other political affiliation from 2018 to the present.

Mr Paisley is a son of DUP founder, the late Ian Paisley snr, who frequently vowed to "smash Sinn Féin"

Spotlight back last night. Paisley up to the exact same shenanigans in Maldives.

Fiona Paisley deleted a tweet about them being in the Maldives and he was part of the Maldives All Party parliamentary group. More paid advocacy for an abusive regime.

Absolute gangster.
