Respect for Parliament finished for me when the expenses scandal first came to light. It has since then progressed into a 3-ring circus.
I knew leaving would never be easy, but what has transpired almost three years later, is beyond belief.
Northern Ireland, to be honest, was not at the forefront of my mind when voting, because I had always seen N.I. as part of the UK. I thought about the border and the GFA, but assumed the two would come to a sensible, adult approach to the border. Wishful thinking of course.
I certainly have more sympathy for Scotland's wish to leave than previously. We don't even have that luxury, we are stuck with the whole motley crew. I will go as far as admitting that I have the same feeling over Brexit as you must when you lost your independence vote. (Even though, laughably, we won our independence vote!)
Maybe the SNP should try to persuade the clowns in Parliament to allow England an equal say for Scottish Independence? I am sure with what we have put up with would now gain you a lot more sympathy in your goal.
No, I do not think putting the future of this country into the hands of the DUP is a good idea, but we can only blame Theresa May for this debacle by calling a General Election.
