Ironically, given that this is a UUP comment, fixing said issue would make a UI *more* likely, not less.
Nail on the head. I’d reckon Beatie could be the Unionist leader that SF could actually work with. Here’s hoping the DUP lose enough seats for that to happen.
I’d use the word leeches in fairness
It’s almost as if it’s not a viable entity.
It’s being punching above it’s weight for years with all the funding it got.
Beattie’s critique of the North’s finances aren’t bad but his solution is totally wrong. The problem isn’t the people in the Assembly per se it’s that the whole administrative system in the north encourages waste and then crucially billing London.
They spelt toilet bowl wrong
There’s a debate worth watching that was filmed in Queens University on pro/against a United Ireland.
The pro United arrive fresh faced, younger, full of ideas and economic plans. Renewable energy, synergies with the economy of a United ireland, the EU.
The loyalist representatives are two decades older and simply just repeat in different ways “we get x billion from England every year”
That’s it. That’s their message.
Theyre not even embarrassed about it anymore.
I would have said ”Sectarian backwater” but they’re not wrong with ”Begging bowl”
