The DUP thread

[square_ball]

It will probably boil down to whom Allister hates more, come the beginning of May 2027 - the DUP, or "Sinn Féin / IRA".

Hard to call at the minute, but he always hates someone else, at any given time.

Allister is 73 now & he can't go on forever. If he was to go, at some stage, is it conceivable that the TUV will simply fade away?

The same thing was said about Paisley 30 years ago.  There always appears to be someone else coming up, and even if the TUV does fade away then Bryson (or someone like him) will set up a new 3 letter acronym party and they'll take up the space that Paisley and then Allister has taken.

The world just keeps spinning.

They need the DUP to stay in business. The TUV is a parasite. It  needs a host. It can never be the main party.

You wonder is Bryson still too scared to go in considering the gorilla beat him last time.

Yeah the TUV can not / will not be the main voice but protest votes seem to be the rage these days so unless they make it through that. This is a big chance for the UUP.

You would think it is a great chance for the UUP if they play their cards right, say nothing and watch everything unfold.

Sure, weren't the UUP having a complete meltdown, just a couple of weeks ago, until the DUP decided to go full Krakatoa & take over all the headlines?

Poots was just on UTV there, throwing the toys totally out of the pram. He's not a happy bunny!!

[Jeepers Creepers]

Wee Jeff was in the UUP when committing these crimes. They'll be fighting over a pulpit with the DUP to keep their heads down behind.

William Walker 
Mervyn
Hanna was not the only fellow paedophile who Donaldson was linked to. He was also pals with disgraced DUP councillor William Walker, who was convicted of attempting to sexually communicate with a child in 2022.

The 63-year-old posed as a younger man online and asked his victims to send him images of themselves dressed in school uniforms.

However, the 'children' were in fact vigilantes who confronted Walker and handed over their evidence to police.

The pervert was later sentenced to 100 hours of community service, and left Northern Ireland for a new life in England.

Any suggestions for Acronyms for Bryson's new party?

I'll kick off with TAF - Thick as Fk

[imtommygunn]

Donaldson shafted Pootsy too. He'll be scundered. You would imagine if he'd have known he'd have said something as not like they were friends.

There's bound to be a  way of rearranging the usual letters and coming up with  a party with  CÜNTS as an acronym

"Research by the Evangelical Alliance in 2024 found that almost half of practising Protestants in Northern Ireland described themselves as 'evangelical'."

 Most of those are either TUV or DUP.
