    Guardian fails miserably on Northern Ireland Archived Message

    This, as far as I can tell, is one of the few pieces the Guardian has bothered to publish touching on Brexit politics in Northern Ireland, and I think it's woeful inadequate.

    This may be just the first in a series, who knows? where they, tomorroe perhaps? talk to representatives of the remain side; still it's too little too late.

    He doesn't even raise the fact of the majority voting to remain within the EU with any of the people he interviews in the town. Why is the DUP allowed to 'betray' the democratic majority in Northern Ireland? There are so many relevant questions he could have asked. Instead this typical Guardian wanker lets these people stay cosily in their narrow-minded comfort zone.
