Quote from: johnnycool on January 18, 2024, 02:34:50 PMI could see how that is the case but there is more to it than that as well. The reason for the DUP not going into Stormont (the reason they are giving nor the real reason) is totally unrelated to the public sector pay increase and today's strike. The only person trying to link them is CHH. He is holding the DUP to ransom with another man's money. The other man is protesting about that today.Quote from: Armagh18 on January 18, 2024, 02:12:16 PMQuote from: trailer on January 18, 2024, 01:46:24 PMare they not blaming both?Quote from: Armagh18 on January 18, 2024, 01:24:32 PMWhat should they do then?
A good start might be to call on the DUP to go into government rather than aiming their anger at CHH.
Not really, the DUP have gotten away quite lightly from the unions IMO, probably trying to avoid the usual sectarian trap, but in this instance it's either CHH who doesn't give a flying fĂșck about this place or the DUP who believe if they hold out for long enough the UK Government are going to magically change an international trade agreement they have with the EU!
So, while the majority on this forum believe the DUP are wanchors and should return, it could still very well be a legitimate position for someone to feel that they are right not to return until "Act of Union blah blah" AND believe that public pay increases should be implemented.
