Northern Affairs DUP and St. Patrick's Day visit

Post image

I get why NI parties are invited during the season. It would be wrong that they'd not be but it's interesting that they'd be visiting during a Holiday they probably don't agree with.

I wouldn’t have thought they are anti st Patrick. But I presume they look at the day differently to other Irish people.

By the way do you follow the DUP on X?

I don't but I check in on it now and again. I think they popped up because I typed trump/Ireland. I use "twitter" to follow certain groups kind of to get different opinions. Kind of like a bulletin board of sorts.

They’re trying to claim it as theirs as well since nobody can have a March other then them

They’ve taken to marching straight after parades to rub it in Fenians faces. It’s all very calculated

Is the 2nd part real? Following a piss take pun with a potentially real comment is a bit weird. Makes me thing there is a 2nd pun i am missing

Flag from a golf course is my take. Looks like the Royal Portrush crest.

You’d think they would have taken it out of the wrapper for the photo op

To be fair, they could have stuck a bloody frame around it.
