People need to remember 2 things
(1) Boris Johnson is a career politician who would gladly sit on the other side of the debate if he thought it would make him more popular
(2)The British do not give a F@@# about Northern Ireland remaining in the UK ,never mind caring about what happens to the DUP

The DUP had their 15 minutes of fame while their votes in parliament were of value.
Their judgement with regard not realising Boris is a snake only goes to show how gullible they are to believe the British give a shit about "The Union".

I still don't trust that The Republic wont get shafted somewhere here before it all comes to an end.........but I cringe when I see the DUP professing their allegiance to a British government an a queen who would be glad to be rid of the North in its entirety (but I also feel quite smug )

First they waste millions on the rhi now they want to hook the north up to volcanos ._._.it would make more sense to invest in renewable energy produced within the north,but hey these people obviously know whats best for skimming a few quid here and there without being held accountable._._.

They are trying to build bridges - well 1 between here an Scotland anyway. Fuck imagine the 12th parade on that !

Brexit will soon have cost the UK more than all of its payments to the EU over the last 47 years put together

• brexit will soon have cost the UK more than its combined total of payments to the EU budget over the past 47 years.
• Bloomberg Economics found the cost of the UK's vote to leave has already
• reached £130 billion.
• A further £70 billion is likely to be added by the end of 2020, economist Dan Hanson found.
• Business confidence and investment in the UK has dipped significantly since the 2016 vote.

Brexit will have cost the UK more than £200 billion in lost economic growth by the end of this year - a figure which almost eclipses the total amount the UK will have paid towards the EU budget over the past 47 years.
According to research by Bloomberg Economics, the cost of the UK's vote to leave has already reached £130 billion, with a further £70 billion likely to be added by the end of 2020.

The analysis, carried out by economist Dan Hanson, found that business uncertainty has caused the UK's economic growth to lag behind that of other G7 countries since the 2016 vote.
That means the British economy is now 3% smaller than it would have been if the UK had not voted to leave the EU.
Figures from the House of Commons library put the UK's total projected contribution towards the EU budget between 1973 and 2020 at £215 billion after adjusting for inflation.
That means the combined cost of leaving since 2016 is likely soon to eclipse the combined cost of the EU's budget payments, which were a central part of the Leave campaign's case for Brexit in the first place.


The UK is set to leave the EU on January 31 after Boris Johnson's election victory in December. But business confidence and investment has dipped, meaning annualised economic growth has fallen from 2% to 1%.
"As the U.K. comes to terms with its new trading relationship with the EU and grapples with the productivity challenge that has hindered growth since the financial crisis, the annual cost of Brexit is likely to keep increasing," Hanson told Bloomberg.

(With the UK's withdrawal from the European Union (EU) having experienced various political complications in the three years since the result of the referendum to leave the EU, the country has seen increasing public discontent from both Leave and Remain supporters alike. Amidst a general air of uncertainty and ongoing frustration at the government's inability to mobilize a smooth withdrawal from the European bloc, demonstrators on both sides of the political spectrum have taken to the streets to give voice to their discontent.
As Boris Johnson secures a significant parliamentary majority in the most recent general election, and looks to deliver on his promise to "get Brexit done" by any means necessary before Jan. 31, we look at recent public protests in pictures.

I never really understood the Troubles as made no sence and do not get the DUP at all, they seem to agree with nothing and do not want to move forward
