Honestly, this is elementary stuff. Go & read Lord Trimble’s affidavit. The Belfast Agreement does *NOT* provide the protections the UUP said it did. The High Court, Court of Appeal & this week I imagine the UKSC will be clear on that. Why are the UUP still trying to deceive?

If the DUP wanted to move on from its toxic legacy on gay rights, it would fully support @BeattieDoug Assy motion banning conversion therapy, not seek to amend it. Rather than than building bridges with LGBTQ community, it's intent on burning them down.

This day 15 years ago – 8 January 2007 – David Ervine died, aged 53. A former member of the Ulster Volunteer Force, Ervine remained a supporter of Northern Ireland's place in the United Kingdom, but encouraged his fellow loyalists to “stop this nonsense about not being Irish.”

State of this 🤦‍♂️ He has never understood honesty, integrity and service. He has never put country first. Those who listened to his self interest and self promotion have been sold a lie. His ‘no surrender’ is not self sacrifice, it’s your sacrifice. Utterly pathetic.

Beattie despises unionists standing up for the Union. ‘Surrender’ has been his cry over recent years, whilst everyone else has a ‘No..’ in front of it.
