I do find it interesting that the DUP fail to see the prevailing winds, what happens when no isn't an acceptable answer anymore? Or more pertinently, what happens after no has been established as an unacceptable stance?

In fairness there are issues that need to be ironed out, anyone will tell you that. But to approach change unilaterally to appease an ideology rather than logic to get few votes in Westminster was not the way to do it.

Perhaps if the EU had listened to those who wanted change then the UK wouldnt have had to go down this route, even the great tony Blair says it needs changing to ensure peace continues.

Dont disagree with you on that.

While the calibar of people like Lis Truss are out there as a negotiator the bungling will continue. Her incompetence is stunning. Look at the Prof take on her recent endeavours in relation to NIP
