  • The TUV and elements in the DUP had said the boycott of the Northern Ireland Executive was as about the problems of the NI Protocol and how it was dismantling the Union. However when Jim Allister the sole TUV MLA stood up in the Assembly on Saturday he attacked both Sinn Féin and the DUP leader Jeffrey Donaldson for putting an "puppet of the IRA" into the top job.

      Wasn't Jim a member of the DUP when they founded the Ulster Resistance, which then supplied weapons and bombs to loyalist terrorists, LVF, UVF, Red Hand Commandos and other groups?.

And by instigating conflict, they will only find themselves isolated, not just in Northern Ireland, but throughout the world, as we, in the EU and the US would also be unsympathetic, since we're guarantors of the GFA and especially now, it's not the time for arguments inside of NATO. putin would be happy, but I doubt he can do much to support them. Heck, I even doubt that the majority of Irish people from NI, be they Catholics or Protestants, are in the mood for civil conflict.

It's not like we did anything to them... we're just watching bemused. It's not funny, as much as it's weird, confusing and interesting to watch. As for this guy... I understand what he's saying, but the unpleasant reality is that peace requires injustice. Some perpetrators must get away with it in order to prevent continued or future suffering. Because if that doesn't happen, then both sides have legitimate complaints against the other and you'll just end up with a neverending string of retaliation... an Israel/Palestine situation. And that won't bring any justice in the long run, it will simply make the list of injustices longer and longer.

    The protocol may feel uncomfortable for unionists, due to the alignment with the EU and checks. But the other side is Northern Ireland, under the protocol had great access to both markets, as they voted in 2016. Now I wonder if the UK will try to smuggle into the EU via Northern Ireland and cause economic harm that then leads to checks between both Irelands and political tensions. The Unionists should have been upfront that they don't respecet real democracy at the ballot box. Now from my experience of living in Northern Ireland during the troubles, it felt remote to what many called the mainland. That the polticial needs differ much more than say mine do now in Wales from England (and they are big differences already). So to not have their assembly for so long, is disgusting. It means they have been in limbo ontop of the near 14 yrs of Tory hell dragging us all backwards in Westminster.

    What's particularly annoying was that with both the republic and the UK being a part of the EU, there was a half way point where both sides, those who wanted a united Ireland and those that didn't, they both pretty much had it their way in lots of ways. Along came the brexit liars and abusers and trashed the peace in NI for their own personal benefit and rhetoric of hatred and division. NI ministers were chosen based on their capacity to say "Yes Boris" and to have no conscience about lying. Repeatedly. Some of them never even visited NI, let alone learned what the situation was. Yet, all this time, the EU had been investing in NI where the UK government hadn't, the EU had been working on peace and reconciliation (which is hard given generations of violence), but it was all thrown away to protect the offshore banking interests and tax havens of the few, with the racists and other bigots riled up to support it all.

    Just going on her past performance in government, Michelle O'Neill will be an excellent First Minister.

    He makes the DUP look moderate and reasonable.

    A fascist living in the past- he is losing his power, has lost his power and that is what he hates.

    That was quite jarring. I don’t understand Stormont protocol, but I’m surprised there wasn’t any protest while he was spewing hatred in that diatribe.

      ‘“It’s just Jim venting his usual tripe. Let him get over his rant, and the rest of us can get on with the job of actually running the place!” was probably the reaction of most MLAs in Stormont.
      He is the SOLE MLA for his little ego vehicle called the Traditional Unionist Voice(TUV), so a very marginal figure…

    He is repulsive
    And why not draw attention on the deputy first ministers background ? If he is clutching at straws.
    He literally proved that it was bitterness and sectarianism all along, nothing to do with the protocol. Thank you for sharing

    Hate,hate, and more hate. He should "shuffle off this mortal coil" and leave those that want peace and democracy to thrive!

    On the bright side it's not often you get to see the bad guy slowly self distruct, but watching angry Alistair's ranting and raving was like the scene in the German film Downfall, where Hitler goes completely Bonkers.
