The DUP thread

Last sting of a dying wasp. Their Union is fucked. And the irony is they are responsible because of their stupidity and outright bigotry in backing Brexit.

Hoping I'm on a road they are trying to block

Don't give the wee scrotes any excuse to get a claim off you. No doubt they'll all have their phones out.

I'll be having my phone out!

The lack of any criticism from Nationalists would suggest "we" have no particular real issues about the thing.

Does the "Stormont brake" mean Unionists can block any EU Laws being implemented in the 6?

It's farmers in 26 who should be more worried. All it will take is one dodgy lorry of livestock to come in from Britain that could jeopardise Irish trade deals. EU and Dublin forced Britain into a deal that was in Ireland's interest, now Tories are saying no checks on internal Uk trade. Britain has had zero controls on goods coming into Britain. Even Brits are worried about their own biosecurity. That's a haulier away from Ireland. I don't think Sinn Féin or SDLP are on the ball with this at all. Nor is Martin. Leo is bored off it now. Coveney was a big loss in that roll.

Would there not be that sorta trading going on under the counter anyways over the years?

GB was aligned to EU standards so there was no widespread risk. Now they have pesticides banned in EU, substandard beef coming in from other countries, more liberal rules on GMO foodstuffs. Once that gets into Irish food chain, it will destroy reputation of Irish agriculture. The likes of China won't hesitate to ban Irish beef again. Some of the North's farming practices are very questionable to begin with (livestock and chickens in close proximity). This opens the door to making it worse. And you will probably have a DUPer on agriculture to make it worse like the measly fines Poots implemented for polluting lakes and rivers. That lot don't care about the land so long as they can put a flag up on it.

Not really, Ireland will bring in something to highlight different of beef from the North. China ban Irush Beef, ha, they hardly a guiding light in food practices,  Man best friend vouch for that.

As I'll be going through the road block, I'll be asking the question when I get to the front, why are they blocking the road. The answers should be entertaining.

I'd say most haven't read the new framework
Most have never voted
Many will not understand the benefits of being part of both the EU and UK
None of the issues surrounding the red and green lanes would have had made a difference to their lives.

Would it be worth winning an argument but having your car burned out?

The agreement and the protocol make incredibly boring reading (agreement is 80 pages of legal text). It's quite dense and long winded, as laws tend to be.

There isn't a hope in hell any of them will have read a paragraph of it.

The man wants a new car leave him alone

[Milltown Row2]

Trust me there will be no burning of cars, this mob will do nothing, they stand in their own areas and make their own locals days a misery

I see they blaming Nationalists/ Republicans for circulating this list of roads to be blocked.
Will be interesting to see if anything materialises.

Always been checks on Livestock from GB to NI and vice versa. Can't imagine that will ever change.
