The DUP thread

[imtommygunn]

Most of the stuff she comes out with is most likely disingenuous crap to get votes. Either that or she's stupid. Neither of them are good options. A vile bigot.

It's definitely both. But it works in that part of the world.

DUP are panicking looking at the TUV coming fast up the inside shoulder. Hence this past year, they're attacking everything Irish.


Strange thing is on the recent poll is I thought most of their vote slipage would go to the TUV but I see the UUP, under Burrows, has picked up a bit of that slack. He's drfting into DUP Lite terrority now with some of his statements.


So the DUP are under pressure from both unionist flanks now.

Burrows I presume you mean.

Stupid question, but are there any material differences in any of the three policy wise?

No real differences policy wise other than who can shout 'No Surrender' the loudest....

Can't see it all but the headline says it all.

SF are in docile mode as no-one is more expert in shitting on Unionism than Unionists and Westminster
Its a battle of hearts and minds going forward while Unionism continues its long campaign against minds

Am beginning to see Sinn Fein as useless as the DUP. Not 1 thing done of note since they been bck. The new Decade new approach has been a shit show and they can take their fair share of the blame for it.

[Milltown Row2]

Sabotaging from within, both sides happily rubbishing each other, really starting to think it's staged

For me Sinn Fein have become complacent in government just assuming people will vote for them .

And they would be correct as all thats needed is bit of RaRa /themmuns Kayfabe round election time and its usually enough to get them over the line.

Did anyone watch the interview Pengelly did with BBC, it's ok YouTube. She remembers IRA violence, remembers the outrage at 5 when Thatcher signed the Anglo Irish Agreement. Asked about her father and the Ulster Resistance, oh no she was only 5/6, she wouldn't remember that. Her father has always said it's not true. Turned it off after that.

Yes I listened to it on redlines podcast she also didn't have any recollection of any Donaldson antics which seems a bit of a stretch as his drinking on nights out seems pretty epic. Very selective memory

Who wrote Pengelly's speech at the Fleadh yesterday?
