^ yeah Johnson doesn't care, he just wants to be PM consequences for others be damned.
A UI is no solution to bitterness unfortunately. In a way I can empathize a little with the unionists, they got used by their leadership.
I got used as an immigrant. Not a pleasant feeling.
So I hope that people can go beyond the "you voted for it" yes they did, but that doesn't mean they haven't been used. Everybody needs a space to have grievances heard. But of course all the people that warned the unionists, including moderate unionists, are pissed off too.
The logical thing is perhaps for unionism to become pro rejoin so that the irish sea border vanishes and the UI question can be put off again, but that is not the sort of thought I see atm.
Though Alliance is attracting moderate unionists, if the DUP vote gets split between them and the "one man bigot band" TUV party and people get fed up with the shinners, perhaps a little more moderate voices can steer us.
Meanwhile the DUP is now trying to overturn part of the abortion laws here, FFS, jog on you idea starved ghouls.
