The DUP thread

I see the DUP have launched another charm offensive against the US administration as he embarks on his tour of Ireland. They just can't help themselves, before inviting someone else into their house for a cup of tea they would first need to prove their Britishness, anyone else is simply persona non grata.

Arlene has highlighted their train of thought though. If you are Irish or consider yourself Irish, you must hate the British, there is no other middle ground.

Sad really

It's only because she hates anything Irish. That has nothing to do with non DUP Brits.

That image is like  something you'd see in  a horror film

And what's  Les Ferdinand  doing on tv talking  about a presidential visit?

Don't like EU, don't like Ireland, Don't like America, Don't like Labour, who do the DUP like? Buddy buddy with the Israelis who killed more British soldiers than the IRA bck before Palestine troubles broke out after WW2. Their only love in left is, Russia.

I've never been able to decide if it's bigotry or stupidity/incompetence that defines Arlene.  She certainly has demonstrated incompetence in each of her political roles culminating in RHI. I've come to the conclusion it's a bit of both. 

Anyone with a pea for a brain would understand the importance and value of a US President visiting here in terms of potential for foreign investment. Made the mistake of listening to Nolan this morning for 10 minutes.  A cesspit of negativity.  Not many of his callers got the bigger picture around his visit.

Willie has wanted (and frequently obtained) many, many things his God wouldn't approve of in his time.

Willie has been very much sidelined the past number of years. Maybe the superinjunction rumours were true.

If there's a free junket to the US on St. Patrick's Day, the DUP will not turn it down.

Had the misfortune of being on the same flight as McCrea to Heathrow a couple of months ago ... laughable how he tried to shield his face from everyone boarding the plane.  The image of him on the platform with Billy 'King Rat' Wright won't be forgotten, hopefully his pal has the fires well stoked awaiting the arrival of the Baron of Magherafelt & Cookstown.

A bad one and no amount of praying can hide that.

After telling her audience that Biden hated the UK, Snarlene Foster has taken offence at the president not flying the union fleg on his presendential car.

At lunchtime today, Ben Lowry let slip that the DUP/Unionists are not good at diplomacy. Who knew!
