Brexit: Paramilita­ry threats aren’t basis for decisions, says Donaldson

-

Alex Rutherford:

Prepared for peace, ready forwar.

Christina Murdoch:

Is this for real? Obviously, very few people advocate threatenin­g behaviour on the streets to protest about Brexit decisions, but the electorate made the effort to vote to have representa­tion at Stormont — and look how successful that was.

Davy McGimpsey:

Voting? Who should we vote for Jeffery? Like we voted for Brexit. That went well. We voted for a government and they haven’t been to work in 1,000 days.

Joesus O Murchu:

Davy McGimpsey, the sad reality is people over here will still vote Green or Orange when it comes around to voting again, because they are brainwashe­d.

Elaine Young:

Yeah, because listening to and voting for the DUP has really worked out well.

Mark Short:

Ballot box? As in votes? As in the one where the majority of people here (from all background­s) voted Remain? Mmmm.

Michael Linfield:

This wee country is ready to blow. It’s heading towards the Troubles again.

Robert Ritchie:

Loyalists couldn’t organise a picnic.

Porky Hopkins:

The UVF and UDA will take the war south if Northern Ireland’s place in the Union is diluted. That’s a guarantee. It’s what they exist for. Allegedly.

Ross Quinn:

Porky Hopkins, what does that even mean?

Ray Scott:

Jeffrey was an Ulster Unionist until they became irrelevant. Then he joined the DUP. Looks like Alliance, SDLP or Green Party next.

Jacqueline Prunty Donnelly:

Ray Scott, none of the others would take him or Foster. Thankfully.

John Wilson:

What’s the point of voting? Nobody listens. What will be will be.

Jimmy Hyndman:

I don’t condone violence, but Sinn Fein proved that violence pays. They got everything they wanted.

Robert Ritchie:

Jimmy Hyndman, they didn’t get everything they wanted. NI is still part of the UK. What they did was compromise.
