[QUOTE="Sarah, post: 95325, member: 6"] [URL]http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-northern-ireland-42192372[/URL] Sinn Féin has said the DUP was bluffing when it warned that its deal to support the Conservative government could be jeopardised by Brexit negotiations. On Thursday, the DUP's Sammy Wilson said any attempt to "placate Dublin and the EU" could mean a withdrawal of DUP support at Westminster. [URL='http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-42177905'][U]He was responding to reports of a possible strategy to deal with the Irish border after Brexit.[/U][/URL] Sinn Féin's Gerry Kelly said he did not believe the threat was serious.

"There is a great fear of the Labour Party getting in from the DUP and I think if the bluff was called, you would soon find out what exactly was behind it." He added: "I think they are serious in their beliefs, they have said them, they have articulated them - you have to give them that. Have to agree with Gerry Kelly on this one. DUP are full of hot air. (and shit) [/QUOTE]
