If any of you are interested in the bandit run banana republic that is part of the United Kingdom then read this up and listen to this podcast. Northern Ireland is a money pit that is run by cowboy politicians that are basically untouchable.

Anyone see Nolan last night? Foster should be a goner.

 

[ArmandTamzarian]

Drain the Swamp!

 

[VorZakone]

Does the public care?

 

[Badunk]

All kicking off now. Marty has disassociated himself from Arlene and asked for her to step aside.

 

[Ramshock]

Hopefully this will flare up again now the cnuts are back to work

 

[Omar Little]

Doubt it. The sooner people realise that The DUP (much like Tories on the mainland) can do whatever they want, without consequence, the easier it'll be.

 

[Rory 7]

What a mad story. Mind you I'd say it's the tip of the iceberg.

 

[Rooney24]

Martin McGuinness resigns.

elections on the way you would think.

 

[Rooney24]

“I am disappointed that Martin McGuinness has chosen to take the position he has today.

His actions have meant that, at precisely the time we need our Government to be active, we will have no government and no way to resolve the RHI problems.

It is clear that Sinn Fein’s actions are not principled they are political.

Let me make it clear the DUP will always defend unionism and stand up for what is best for Northern Ireland and it appears from the Deputy First Minister’s resignation letter that is what annoys Sinn Fein the most.” - Arlene Foster

The arrogance and lack of accountability and responsibility is absolutely staggering.

 

[Stringer]

The DUP are utter cnuts. I am ashamed to live in a country in which people actually vote for them. The saddest thing is that they will be comfortably voted back into office.

I know. But how does it change ? This is one of the few issues I can recall where people should really stop and think whether it is really worth voting along their "traditional" lines. Sadly I don't see it happening. It will simply come down to us v them again.

So much wrong with her statement. How on earth is this standing up for unionism for a start, what has it even got to do with unionism or nationalism? It's simply to do with a level - or lack of - competence to do the job. She doesn't seem to be grasping that and is drawing the old battle lines again.

And she says she will stand up for what is best for NI, well not dropping it £500m in a hole would be a start.

Seriously unreal

Just heard all the details about this on the radio. They said that if you buy £1 worth of wood pellets then the government would give you back £1.60. They said that factories were getting massive boilers installed that they didn't need purely to burn the pellets. One factory was supposed to have made £1M purely from burning the pellets.

 

[utdalltheway]

Crazy scheme. Set up to suit those that already have the means to make out big. The poorer people with little to spare would not fare so well, but will end up paying for the scheme anyway.

 

[Badunk]

Well, shit has hit the fan and the government has collapsed. And, to rub people's noses in it one last time, the DUP invoked the petition of concern when MLA's wanted to vote on a motion to get rid of the DUP speaker of the house.

The politicians in Norn Iron are a laughing stock.

 

[Scrumpet]

May as well waste more money returning the same cnuts to office.

 

[Rooney24]

Poots was unreal on Nolan this morning. He said that the DUP did not agree the Irish language act even though it was included in the St Andrews Agreement that the DUP signed up to. He even went as far as saying that the was a side agreement between Tony Blair and Gerry Adams and slipped into the agreement after negotioations were complete.

Unbelievable stuff.

If people vote that mob back in well quite frankly they deserve all they get.

 

[utdalltheway]

You can't have agreements outside the agreement. What's the point otherwise?

 

[Badunk]

Yeah, but Peter Hain is kind of supporting the DUP stance on Nolan right now. It's all very wishy washy.

 

[Sassy Colin]

When I first saw this thread I was like, so what, didn't realise it would come to this.

 

[Badunk]

Really is a house of cards built on shifting sands. It's amazing it's lasted this long.

 

[Badunk]

Just gets worse and worse for the DUP. It's like insider trading ffs.

 

[Dan]

McGuinness permanently steps down and will not stand in the elections.
