Have The DUP Finally Understood That Brexiteers Don't Care About NI? 

Well Max the DUP did understand Brexit what they were hoping for was a hard border in Ireland, the destruction of the GFA and a return to a protestant parliament for a protestant people. Unfortunantly they didn't notice history passed them by.

Whenever I feel like I’ve made a stupid decision or said something stupid, along comes our pal Sammy and I feel WAY better.

As a Northern Irish man living 2 mile from the border I am quite sensitive to the brexit problem here, as I live on a european frontier, but in all my years of watching the dup I've never seen one of their head honchos so completely deflated, at some point they're bound to see the writing is on the wall, but this is the first time I have seen it on their faces...

The English don't give Northern Ireland a moment's thought. As an Englishman I can see no rationality for Ireland being divided.

Why is he allowed out in the real world.

Listening to Wilson on any subject is like hearing a blind man describe colour.

Dear DUP, The Brexiteers have their own religion.

The Tories set the DUP , who kept them in power. Then shafted them. They were taken as mugs

You voted for it Sammy. You and others own it. I’m laughing my bollocks off.

You can almost feel sorry for Unionists. Loyal to a concept of the UK which no longer exists, (if it ever did), want to be part of a nation that is completely indifferent to them and often barely aware of their existence, and placing their trust in a government that threw them under the bus the moment it was convenient to do so.

Sammy has no clue to what he even voted for the Tories have played the DUP like a fiddle

Sammy's priority is to drive a wedge between the communities on the island of Ireland, his concern is that in the long term a United Ireland may become a possibility and the majority wish of the Irish people on both sides of the border.

He's British in Belfast but in London he's just another "Paddy".

The DUP didn't just shoot themselves in the foot by supporting Brexit - they blew the whole leg off.

I'm not an expert on N.Ireland, but from my observations, I can imagine that the DUP were very much in favour of Brexit, because they saw it as a way of re-introducing a 'hard' border onto the island, and reversing the 'soft' re-unification of Ireland. They sucked up to the Tory party, because that is what they perceived they were being promised. If Brexit was at odds with aspects of the Good Friday Agreement, they presumed that Brexit would trump the GFA, rather than vice versa.

Among his various denials of reality is his invoking of the “democratic vote” behind Brexit while refusing to accept that the majority in Northern Ireland were strongly against this stupid decision

When you have a 17th century sense of superiority, much of the 21st century must seem puzzling.

Remember people, this is a man who said he wouldn’t marry a Catholic. Lucky woman! 😂

Being foolish an occupational hazard for the DUP!

Interesting initial image when Sammy stood up. Other MPs dropped their shoulders, some resting their heads in their hands, in what one can imagine was a feeling of despair. How long will his broken record be heard before Sammy understands no-one in GB cares? Thanks for the video.

Ah sammy when will you ever learn 😂. The karma bus is trundling along nicely. Bye bye sammy and the rest

Well I am Shocked, who could have seen these problems coming

Worth quoting Sir Edward Carson from almost 100yrs ago. Quite apt today. DUP don't learn : "I believed all this. I thought of the last thirty years, during which I was fighting with others whose friendship and comradeship I hope I will lose from tonight, because I do not value any friendship that is not founded upon confidence and trust. I was in earnest. What a fool I was. I was only a puppet, and so was Ulster, and so was Ireland, in the political game that was to get the Conservative Party into power. And of all the men in my experience that I think are the most loathsome it is those who will sell their friends for the purpose of conciliating their enemies, and, perhaps, still worse, the men who climb up a ladder into power of which even I may have been part of a humble rung, and then, when they have got into power, kick the ladder away without any concern for the pain, or injury, or mischief, or damage that they do to those who have helped them to gain power."

It's death by a thousand cuts for Sammy. Making it worse, most are self inflicted😂

Ah poor Sammy, thick as bulls lugs.

Could someone please let Sammy know that his lot no longer have the majority and he needs to suck it up the same way that us nationists have had to do for the last 100 plus years TArLa

The Resounding sound of the penny dropping?

Good evening Max and all here. They voted for brexit 😝. And so proud to be brexiteers. So what were they expecting?😝

You have to admire Sammy's perseverance to ignorance. The penny still hasn't dropped for Sammy. People kept in the dark says the party of the 17th century.

A near by country of which they know nothing.

Sinn Fein warned him and his party. Whilst rubbing their hands with glee at another step taken towards a reunified Ireland.

He thought that the checks would be between NI and the Republic. As you say, he has, at last, twigged that the Brexiteers don't care. And that the most likely solution will be a united Ireland and the only people who will care will be unionist in NI. And nobody else will give a danm. Should have voted to remain, Sammy.

the idea that penny mordaunt is considered a 'star' of the conservative party is utterly damning of the abject state of our politics

DUP etc should realise that they love the Union and that means that Westminster makes decisions on their behalf. That's what being in the Union means.

I'm getting worried about Sammy. He didn't look like he had his morning Bushmills. There's something wrong.

Another one who would doubtless have said "we're not stupid. We knew what we were voting for." Did you really? Now that you see it, did you really?

The old saying " be careful what you wish for " comes to mind for the DUP, if they were smart they would get back into Stormont while they still have a bit of power left

As a belgian the decision of UK leaving UE was such a sad time. But I see it's worst than I expected.

DUP: WE DONT WANT BORDER CHECKS IN NI! Tories: Ok we will do them in England. DUP: WE DONT WANT BORDER CHECKS IN ENGLAND! Tories: Sorry who are these guys again?

Sammy should be sent to the remedial class. He just does not take it in.

Another case of turkeys who voted for Xmas, perplexed at the sight of carving knives being sharpened.

It's almost as if we knew this would be a problem when we got the opportunity to vote for Brexit. But those of us who said it would be an issue for NI and the GFA were told we were scaremongering. Silly DUP.

Look at the expressions on the faces of the men sitting behind Sammy Wilson.

Sammy should want away from Westminster at this rate

It probably not the Brexit Sammy voted for, but it is a Brexit he could have expected.

I just want independence for Scotland. England should face the consequences of who they vote for, it shouldn't be inflicted on the other countries

Seeing the DUP wiggling and complaining about the consequences of Brexit they supported is definitely the best Brexit Benefit 😂

The founder of the DUP described the EU as "A beast ridden by the harlot Catholic Church" How do you deal with a party with this mindset.

I’m in business in NI and this word ‘checks’ cracks me up. What the fuck do people care so much about checks for? What people should care about and what businesses do care about are declarations. It’s those that are time consuming and costly. Once anyone use the word ‘checks’ they demonstrate that they don’t actually know what they are talking about

They don't even care about brexit

Good Evening Everyone! ❤️🙂

I met Sammy Wilson once when he was Lord Mayor of Belfast on about 1985. In fairness to him, he was nice to us as he had to welcome us a musical group visiting his' city albeit ironically on a tour that was sponsored by the then EEC.

Ah, the DUP , yesterdays men with yesterdays views. What they haven't realised is that yesterday has come and gone.

Great Clip Thanks Max! 👍

I remember when Boris was fumbling about trying to do brexit and his utter indifference to the huge problems brexit would cause Northern Ireland as the then chancellor of Germany Angela Merkel raised concerns. At this point I saw how a British prime minister cared less about British citizens (because we aren't from England we don't count) than the chancellor of Germany. This uncaring view of British citizens is what brexit has brought and nothing else.

Why, oh why, can't the DUP enjoy their Brexit victory ?.. 🤣🤣

Translation of her response: "We really don't know what we are going to do, we are still working on it and we'll take your concerns into consideration and get back to you."

Penny Mordaunt was doing her job. The Leader of the House of Commons is responsible for organising government business in the House. She announces the following week's business every Thursday. Then backbenchers get up and ask for time for debates on various topics. She then politely fobs them off

When you say the DUP didn’t understand what Brexit meant for NI I think you do them an injustice, they understood allright, the main objective the DUP sought from Brexit was to reinforce the border between both parts of our island, to reinforce their grip on the 6 counties that were torn from our country on the basis of a sectarian headcount. What they didn’t contemplate was Boris Johnson shafting them big time over the Protocol, but Johnson did what Johnson does best , ie looking after himself and HIS people before outsiders like the DUP

The brexit Paradox is that any govt capable of delivering brexit wouldn't. The brexit reality is that voters clever enough to decode brexit would reject it.

We will get there, everyone relax, just Keep The Faith 👌🏻🍀🇮🇪🍀

DUP smokescreen, bottom line is no catholic/ nationalist first minister. They think they are more british than the british. Unfortunately mainland UK looks on them as Irish. Brexit in my opinion was english nationalism asserting itself. The DUP misinterpreted it badly and are paying the price.

Sammy my love; you and your party voted for it! (the best advertisement for a United Ireland if there ever was!)

Brexit will lead to Irish reunification. Northern Irish businesses and farmers will soon realise that doing business with the Republic of Ireland and the EU is way less hassle, while being more profitable, so they will soon stop caring about the UK. Good for Ireland as a whole! 🇨🇮☘️

I'm a Brit ex-squaddie 1977-86, all my coinflips done by the MOD put me infront of Ruskie Armour the then BOAR, Instead of supporting his Da in the Province, of to which my heart felt thanks means my head can rest easy on my pillow at night, I jumped for joy, for the Good Friday protocol, I myself had seen enough body-parts in the streets, of innocent Animals and humans To justify the killing to continue, And here we are, Proof that a Parent can carry on their vile nature to children yet unborn

DUP: We want things the way they were. A Protestant state for a Protestant people. British Government: Moving on.

That's the spirit, if nothing else works, a total pig-headed unwillingness to look facts in the face will see us through.

There’s will be no resolution to this until a new government is in power.

Such a likeable bunch, the DUP.

Let's face it, these people know nothing about the history of the peoples living in the island group

I complimented my friend on their very tidy full beard And they blocked me ! Honestly some Women can be so touchy

As Churchill said, the problem with the Irish is they refuse to be English 😂

💯%Max. You are on spot on. Aahhh she didn't actually say what year. June????. Time to buy a one way ticket Sammy and go home. 🇮🇪🎉

Thanks Max. Spot on as ever

Remember Sammy told them to go to chippie. Ram it up him 😂

It’s coming back tae bite them on the arse now Max I can’t believe they could’ve been that stupid not tae see this one coming. What goes around etc.

Was that a Johnson promise? The poor DUP thought the Conservatives would care about them

Who gives a toss, they voted for chaos.

THEY ARE FINALLY WAKING UP AND SMELLING THE COFFEE!!

Where does he get that complexion? Blood pressure? Or hitting the old falling down juice a bit too heavily? Maybe both.

Thanks!

Where does Sammy get his suits..the 70's?

That's shocking Sammy ... never seen such a democratic deficit in a political union like that.

Welcome to the Brexit 😂

Poor wee Sammy he does not get it, hush and do what the Tories tell you!

Lol the grave train dried up?

The DUP got duped.

Ireland is loving it ... most goods are getting transferred through Ireland instead of Dover. Because of Ireland's very privileged position. And, domestic produce is doing a roaring trade via Northern Ireland, into England and Scotland Ireland is enjoying this so much that they would definitely veto any attempt by England to be let back into the European Union - at least unless England promised to pay EU membership fees, while getting none of the benefits they once enjoyed. England left the EU, all the remaining countries got an economic boost! ... They're not going to want to let go of that without serious yearly payments by the UK.

If only the buses were more reliable he could have been thrown under it much sooner.

Sammy 'finger point' Wilson. Quite an aggressive and angry fella by the looks of it.

The DUP remind me of an old faithful dog who is blind and incontinent, whos master has given up on it and is waiting for the right moment to put it out of its misery

Dense Sammy finally wakes up to Brexit?

Any politician who says ah in the middle of a sentence so many times is lying through their teeth.

Oh Chickens coming home to rest, well Sammy we're still looking for the £300 million pounds a week for the NHS

Max , delighted you got your head back, super glue is great.

It will take a million pennies in his case, and then he will argue about it.. DUP and the Tories deserve each other

It's about time Ireland was reunited. I know of several protestants in NI who would vote for it in a referendum.

Sammy looks really tired …

It's almost like brexit was a bad idea🤔

So let me get this right we don’t inspect goods inward from the eu, but we have our goods, inspected, which we were told would happen because we left the club, we certainly have taken back control
