The Union betrayed
Statement by TUV leader Jim Allister:-
“This is a disastrous deal for Northern Ireland’s position as an integral part of the United Kingdom and for our economy, particularly as the rest of the U.K. can move on to thrive outside the EU, but not Northern Ireland.
“The inescapable reality is that a permanent regulatory and customs border cutting us off from GB puts us in a waiting room for Irish unity with the door locked from the outside. Subject to EU Single Market and Customs Union rules, over which we have no control, and crippled by tariffs on GB trade, we are removed into the economic orbit of the Republic with the purpose of “ever closer union” ensuring the Union slowly bleeds to death.
“While GB can diverge and embrace the full opportunities of Brexit, Northern Ireland is left behind in the clutches of EU/Republic in a state of vassalage.
“The scale of the betrayal is shocking.”

I'm praying no deal out on the 31st.
