Boomer!


Probably doesn't have a mortgage or kids to put through college.

If everyone in the public sector decided not to work and to live on £150 a week she would be just as outraged.

Noticed a few contractors out gritting this morning on some roads I was travelling on

Be interesting to know how many of those striking today are DUP voters and how many will vote for the DUP again.

There must be DUP members/voters in the various unions?

The union trumps everything. The Unions anger is aimed squarely at CHH.
I think the unions need to tread carefully. This strike is pointless. Everyone agrees they need fair pay inc the UKG. So what is the point of the strike?

[Duine Inteacht Eile]

Because "agreeing that they need fair pay" isn't much use to those who need it?

Yes but The DUP aren't going to be moved and I doubt CHH is either.

What should they do then?

What 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.

They don't need the DUP in Government to get a pay rise. CHH has it in his power.

I think there is certainly anger towards both but as pointed out above, CHH has the money in his hand and instead of giving it to those who he "agrees need it", he's playing politics with it against a bundle of backward buffoons. Quite obviously there's going to be a heap of anger coming his way.

[The Trap]

Why would anyone vote for the DUP?

The DUP are now seeing NI public services in the worst state ever

The DUP now have the worst relationship there has ever been with Westminster

The DUP have no friends in Europe

The DUP shunned the US President when he visited

King Charles had a warmer relationship with Sinn Fein than he did with the DUP when he was at Hillsborough

The DUP are isolated among all the main parties here. They don't want to share power even though Martin McGuinness was prepared to be deputy first minister under Ian Paisley.

And most of all the DUP brought all of this upon themselves by advocating for a Brexit that the majority of people here didn't vote for.

[imtommygunn]

Because them 'uns. Honestly that is near about the height of it.

are they not blaming both?
