The Issue

The Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) during the last two days (10th & 11th Nov) have been against the extension of the current measures to slow the spread of COVID 19. 

They have been spouting serious levels of misinformation which to put it bluntly will cause further death, and more pain to families who have lost loved ones to the virus. The DUP is running down the clock on the current restrictions which means at Midnight Thursday there will be no legal restrictions thus enabling the virus to run rampant. The same MLA's & MP's had clapped for the NHS during the spring and summer months, however by voting against the restrictions in place they will cause the NHS system to break down which will in turn kill people and push our NHS staff over the top! They are already working at their wits end! 

Edwin Poots MLA on Twitter said " The two week circuit breaker became four, now they want six and then what? 1,000s of staff in hospitality having their wages cut and no tips in the mouth of Christmas if SF have there way." 

" Mental health and domestic abuse rising dramatically. Leading cardiologist warning poorer outcomes from lockdown. Cancer deaths rising less early detection. Fewer GP contacts Poorer outcomes on circulation, conditions The health of our country is about more than Covid19."
