The DUP says no!

Finally, the DUP have woken up. They are trying to shut the stable door when the horse has already bolted to the treachery of Boris and the Tories.

With the support of the DUP, the ERG and other Brexiters, they have set the mainland free from the clutches of a corrupt EU. The majority of people in the UK voted leave, that included the vote in Northern Ireland. Through weak DUP leadership, NI finds itself a vassal state of the EU. The DUP are becoming Desperate Unionist Party to save face.

When it comes to celebrating 100 years of Northern Ireland there will be those in the DUP who will don their sashes and there might even be UFU members who backed Theresa May’s backstop. How many times have we heard Ulster is not for sale? This is one of the great deceptions by many so-called unionists.

When it comes to money, Northern Ireland is for sale. I wonder what cliches the DUP will use when the next election comes? I’m a unionist who will not be hoodwinked into voting for them.

John Mulholland, Doagh
