Sea border

Pat Huxtable Nettlestone Road Southsea Portsmouth

I see that the biblethumping bigots of the

DUP in Northern Ireland have finally got their comeuppance following the recent elections.

Having colluded with Theresa May to keep her incompetent government in power, and ignoring her promise that any deal that she negotiated with the EU would preclude a border with NI in the middle of the sea, they then threw in their lot with Boris Johnson.

Imagine their surprise when the two clowns, Frost and Johnson, then came up with a deal that included precisely that - a border down the Irish Sea!

The DUP is now threatening not to join

Sinn Fein in the powersharing arrangement in NI unless the Northern Ireland Protocol is re-negotiated with the EU, which, naturally, is saying to Frost and Johnson that it is your deal, so 'Non'! Johnson realises that he is in a hole because the US will not tolerate anything that threatens the the 1997 Northern Ireland Agreement, which he and Frost blithely ignored when coming up with their joke of a deal.

You couldn't make it up!
