    Um. Is that humour? Because I can't think of many things which are worse for the "Union" than the DUP...

    Sort of but there must be some decent politicians within the DUP?

    Well, I’m no lover of politics or politicians, but I believe Jeffrey Donaldson to be honourable. He has assisted us beyond our expectations.

    Allister never comes close to Paisley in any election.


    Long-term no, but by-elections can be funny things. They could vote Jim in to make a statement knowing it'll be for less than four years (maybe less than one the way the Conservatives seem to be going) then revert to type (DUP) at the next general election.

    They need to be clear whether they believe it was acceptable for one of their MPs to be actively lobbying on behalf of a regime that carried out mass murder, war crimes and gross human rights abuses

    Cheap shot from Michelle O’Neill. So it is not acceptable to lobby on behalf of a regime which was responsible for mass murder, war crimes and gross human rights abuses. But it is acceptable for her own MPs and MLAs to have carried out mass murder, war crimes and gross human rights abuses. Apparently.

    The Kneecappers and Shunters social club never had any credibility on these matters and that sort of remark fools nobody. Paisley and his ilk however have been banging their drum of moral superiority and fundamentalist Christianity since at least 1951. Whatever happened to that boring "love your neighbour" bit? Seemed to get dumped somehow.

    So you think the 539,000 people who voted for them in the last general election should be wiped from existence?!
