DUP resorts to subterfuge to exaggerate those problems.
Article 16 is for problems to the whole of NI, not just DUP's perception of problems.

Notch7's assertion was correct. If the EU want to control their borders, in general, they must, under WTO, also have a border between UK and EU.
Your first comment was a strawman argument because it was an assertion without putting it in context.
Once it is put in context Notch7's assertion is correct. Therefore your comment was incorrect.
In future, perhaps you should learn to phrase your argument succinctly instead of resorting to abusive language because you have failed to express your self sufficiently.
No, it wasn't.

Brexit was a single issue, bribery doesn't come into it, do you think that the DUP would have supported remain if they hadn't been "Bribed" as you put it.

DUP voted against the May deal, and the BJ's deal.
What deal did they want?
But then they opposed the Good Friday Agreement as well.
Maybe it's a default position with them, oppose everything in order to avoid blame.
Perhaps the deal that DUP wanted was the one that would guarantee the return of a hard border in Ireland?
Articke 16 is designed to ameliorate any problems caused by the EUs artificial border.
It isn't the DUP who are being ****ed over by this "border" it is honest folk who are losing their livelyhoods because of this.

No it isn't. It's the NI Protocol that is supposed to ease any problems.
And how is it artificial? A border is required, you and DUP would prefer the reintroduction of the hard border in Ireland, potentially restarting the troubles in NI. Now why would DUP want that?
Of course, it would require the return of UK army.
The border is there only due to Brexit. You can't blame the EU for this Brexit. It's what you voted for. It's what you wanted.
Therefore the border is solely the responsibility of Brexiteers, DUP being one of them.
In a democracy people can vote for who they wish without getting screwed over.
There were lots of other options available which could have solved the Irish border problem without this crap.
The EU have shown they don't give a **** about N. Ireland, they are only using it to target Britain.
Only by the EU. Nobody else wants or needs a border there. UK neither wants or needs a border, the Republic neither wants or needs a border, the WTO neither wants or needs a border.
I am correct
WTO also supports trade barriers where these are reasonable and appropriate – for example, in the prevention of transmission of disease and for the protection of consumer safety
"In January, a spokesman for the European Commission commented that it was “pretty obvious” that without a Brexit deal, there would be a return to a hard border in Ireland. However, Brexiteers have argued the European Commission should rule this out as an option. Yet it is not just the rules of the Single Market and Customs Union that mean some type of controlled border will be required without a Brexit deal. The WTO rules also provide a framework.
Without a free trade agreement in place after Brexit, the UK would trade with all countries, including Ireland and other EU nations, on WTO terms. WTO rules apply where economically advanced nations do not have free trade agreements with each other."
But the UK decided it wants a border between UK and EU.
NI is in UK
RoI is in EU
Britains desire for a border has created a problem that it cannot solve.

TM's version being one of them, which DUP opposed.
EU did not want Brexit, they frequently expressed that wish. But UK went ahead despite EU's desire.
How can it remotely be EU's fault? That's perverse.
Ouch, I've fallen over and cut my knee. It's that man's fault across the road because I did not heed his advice to look where I was going.
WRONG
Typical uninformed brexiter that does not understand how the Single Market works.
The choice is:
UK EU deal that Johnson signed agrees to a border
Or no deal then WTO require a border.
You do.
You voted for Johnson's deal that put a border there.
Tell me, was there a border there before Brexit?
