NORTHERN IRELAND WAS SACRIFICED BECAUSE OF BREXIT

It looks as if Sausages did not draw the peoples attention
He could talk for 4 weeks non stop about anything
And when he decided to stop not one single word
Would have registered with the listener that made any sense
It’s a special skill only known to the dup better known as
Dinosaurs Under Pressure

It's clear that Jim Allister wants to see -
- the loss of 40,000 jobs in Northern Ireland as a result of losing frictionless access to the EU single market - something a former leader of the DUP was prepared to live with as the price for delivering brexit While 51% of Northern Ireland's external sales valued at over £20n goes to GB; 35% of Northern Ireland's external sales valued at over £14bn goes to the EU (26% valued at over £10.5bn to Ireland, and 9% valued at over £3.6bn to the rest of the EU).
- longer commutes for 30,000 plus cross border workers - most of whom live in Northern Ireland
- the culling of 45,000 dairy cows in Northern Ireland in order to prevent an environmental and / or animal health crises - Northern Ireland has only 66% raw milk processing capacity so the remainder has to be processed in the Republic.
- the culling pf 400,000 lambs and hoggets and 300,000 breeding ewes in Northern Ireland. - Northern Ireland has only 55% lamb slaughtering capacity so the remainder has to be slaughtered in Republic.
These would be among the consequences of reinstating a customs border, and relocating the pre-brexit Sanitary and Phytosanitary (SPS) border between Northern Ireland from Great Britain from the sea, to between Northern Ireland and the Republic.
In that context, it's no wonder that a majority of MLAs in Stormont voted on 10 December 2024 in favour of retaining the Windsor Framework.

Doesnt matter how salient our Northern Irish Unionist points are. British Govts. dont want to know. Dreadful.Its been going on for years now. Successive British Govts.Labour and Conservative are ignoring and not acting on our valid points.

Well that was some serious top drawer articulated points of argument for citizen sovereign rights, it will be a PhD thesis someday. Jim will no doubt be a Lord some day, most likely shortly after he serves 8 years at the head of Stormont starting at Our next NI election.
