Newly ratified DUP leader Edwin Poots at Dublin Castle last year
“They took photographs of blown up border posts to impose upon Northern Ireland people a harshest form of customs, and an internal market that doesn’t exist anywhere else in the world.
“They’re going to starve Northern Ireland people of medicines, no less, cancer drugs and other materials such as the food that’s on our table.
“And I’d say that’s a shame on the Irish Government that they done that. And that belongs to Fine Gael under the leadership of Leo Varadkar and Simon Coveney. So relationships are really, really bad with the Irish Government as a consequence”
Edwin Poots
A promising start.

Can unionism sink any lower?
Of course it can, especially now that Johnson is desperate to pick another scrap with Brussels in order to distract from what’s going on with Cummings, Covid, and who paid for his renovations.
even when all this mess was on them, i knew it was our fault.
Will Unionism ever come to terms with the fact they they voted for this and it’s their lords and masters in London that have done this to them not those in Dublin. Also, will the creationist Poots explain how is it Tesco can stock the shelves of their stores in Dublin, but not in Belfast..?
you can be pretty sure that if there wasn’t even one other solitary person left in the world other than DUP supporters they would still find something or someone else to blame for their sit-yee-aashion.
The political commentators and journalists of this island and t’other have a tough job ahead. Where do you start with this guy?
He’s in charge of a massively divided party and barely scraped the leadership vote – he has decided to go the Farage route of spouting populist/alarmist clap trap in the hope that it brings enough dimwits with him to struggle on for a bit, if it doesn’t work he’ll be gone by Christmas.
It seems the UUP are already luring disillusioned DUP members. Hopefully the end of this kind of divisive alarmist politics in NI is swift.

Hopefully – it seems his ratification ceremony was quite the uncomfortable affair with many walkouts before he began his speech, a bad start for a bad apple.
The best recruit in a long time, volunteer Poots.
Unionism cannot sink much lower. The middle ground of Unionism will desert this guy in numbers. He obviously is a graduate of the Trump school of falsehood. Coming from a religious perspective I wonder how this approach will go down with the straight laced religious fundamentalists who put
the truth above all else supposedly.
I hope you don’t mind my saying, but in a case of synchronicity, when I read this article, the song ‘Fantasy’ by Earth, Wind and Fire was on the radio. At this line:
“And We Will Live Together Until the Twelfth….”
I am glad I was not trying to drink at the time, because I missed the rest of the song until I could control my laughter.

If Edwin has a problem getting drugs he should have a word with his friends in the Loyalist Community Council
Surely these bad relationships are God’s will Edwin.
Can’t spell Poots without poo… childish but fair…
‘shame on the Irish Government that they done that.’
Could do better. Needs help with the Queen’s English.
