I am glad you have finally realised this and I applaud your decision. It takes a fair measure of moral courage to admit such a thing, well done.

It was you who was digging a hole for yourself.I havent a clue what you mean about patronising the Welsh.Up here we sometimes use the term boyo,which has the same meaning as "mate",but used in a more friendly way.I am glad you have finally realised this and I applaud your decision. It takes a fair measure of moral courage to admit such a thing, well done.

That unpleasant rob doesn’t seem to post anymore- maybe Dan is doing his duty to fill in the void

Well capable of digging a hole for myself.
Well capable of making a poor argument.
Well capable of being critical on a macro level of a system, government, institution, system, public figure. Public figures are fair game as they are just that .... public figures.
Yes, I do provoke and stir it up ....... it’s a public discussion / debate forum ..... stirring it and being provocative is an essential part of the fun and craic on here....
However I do not resort to direct personal attacks on another poster. Would NEVER call anybody a liar or an idiot. Under no possible circumstances would I ever EVER accuse any other poster of being dishonest. I would engage robustly but there are places I do not aim punches at never mind land them!!!
As for me patronising the Welsh ..... I’m befuddled.
However I’m here if my own free will. It gets tetchy at times. I can take it ... and come back for more.

Speaking of Arlene, she of the “crocodile” comment which cost her party dearly electorally, she of the RHI scandal, really has competition for dirty deals from within the DUP. From none other than Ian Paisley. Can’t help himself, can he? Sticky paws in every cookie jar he can find
And these guys are holding the UK to ransom right now. Time to cut them loose.

Unionism must be set for challenges ahead, says Foster
DUP leader Arlene Foster will today spell out the challenges facing unionism in the post-Brexit era, and call on supporters to build what she calls "Next Generation Unionism".

So a very positive address from Arlene. It's only 56 years after the first unionist leader to talk in this vein. But it's coming from the leader of the party which has only looked inward, and fought on the defensive until now. How to drag the DUP into the 21st century? Why, plant an Ulster Unionist leader of course!

Unionism must always be more than simply rallying round the flag.

Perhaps one of the worst DUP leaders and immensely corrupt. Wonder how someone else would have played Brexit instead of Arlene.

Well she's only the third leader they've ever had. The financial scandal is not good, but I'd take it any day over directing terrorist units.

Correct the political representatives of Unionism must always strive for better, but should not take lessons in morality from the representatives of terrorism or apologists for it.

No politician, regardless of their views should be following the lead of either republican or unionist terrorists.

Unionist and republican terrorists should never have been allowed to be politicians, but thankfully as time goes by they are stepping down or dropping off the perche.

Thats democracy for you. For me, the sick and twisted thing is that the people, knowing this, voted for them in spite of it. Possibly even because of it.

Big Donaldson was just on Politics Live and says no to the current backstop and to an NI only backstop.
