DUP and Tory f*ck up thread

Amazing that the Daily Mail manage to get anti-Irish bigotry about drinking into their cartoon about the DUP

It's particularly daft when the DUP are the party who gave us the Beer festival with no beer . Among other things .

From brat to wurst: Banbridge Oktoberfest cancelled after unionists say 'nein' to alcohol sales at Solitude Park - BelfastTelegraph.co.uk

Many of its members refer to alcohol as " the devils buttermilk " .although most of their voters take a vastly different attitude . And their response to such racist characterisations will be along the lines of "stop mixing us up with the Catholics " .

Maybe we need to take these theatrics with a pinch of salt. The DUP get to show that they're flexing their muscles to constituents back in Norn Iron, while the more moderate Tories are reassured that May isn't jumping into bed with some throwbacks from the seventeenth century. While it all highlights how fragile the government will be, it also suits both sides for this arrangement to appear not to go too smoothly.

That's precisely what Adams and McGuinness were doing with Blair and Powell years ago . Stern faces for the cameras outside . Inside the two of them were playing on Leo Blairs skateboard while Blair and in particular Powell..MI6...were writing Adams position papers and speeches for him . Literally word for word . Wouldne be surprised if this was the same tactic at play . Except in reverse .

Fart in a space suit territory

Theresa May accused by Tories of 'going too far' by describing DUP MPs as her 'honourable friends' in wake of £1billion deal

I fucking love this!

Theresa May spent £20,000 flying Arlene Foster home in an RAF plane





Worth rembering this is only the start . They'll be back for more . That billion and a half bung would barely cover what they burned up the chimney on cash for ash . It's a down payment .

Fuck you Daily Mail. Leaving aside it's a nasty traditional slur of the British Right Wing Press to suggest the Irish are all drunks. But the DUP are a bunch of tea totalling Prods who'd never fucking touch Guinness. Paisley's Dad called it "the devil's buttermilk".

Here's another thing.

As you know, the glorious twelfth is coming up. Were giant bonfires are lit all across the province. Massive huge things that have been know to set nearby houses on fire. Many will have banners and tricolors with "Keep Antrim Tidy" which actually stands for "Kill all Taigs" as well as homophobic and racist language.

Now you'll be saying to yourself "is that legal" well no of course not, on any number of grounds (health and safety for a start, environmental etc..) none the less that doesn't stop DUP councillors and MPs from attending and lighting some bonfires.

Now it turns out that not only were Belfast council storing a lot of pallets specifically for a massive bonfire near the main Belfast hospital (which I suppose is as close to H&S as they get), but these pallets were stolen. But now we find out the PSNI knew about the storage and did nothing about it. PSNI was aware of Belfast council bonfire pallets storage

And you wonder why the PSNI is still distrusted by the Catholic Community.

Someone told me down the pub at lunchtime that the Lewes bonfire lot, famous for burning effigies such as bin Laden & Trump...

Spoiler: Effigies

...are talking about doing Arlene Foster this year.

If there's a God, this will happen!

I forgot you live in a world where if you are appalled by shit covered RIRA terrorists, you must, therefore, be a PSNI apologist.

You've also forgotten you announced you had me on ignore the other week .
Just before you got into your space capsule obviously .

Finger on the pulse as usual .

[Ground Elder]

you forgot to mention that there most (in)famous effigy was a of a "pikey bus" full of Irish travellers.

That was the Firle Bonfire society, not Lewes.

lewes do the traditional burning of the pope but its tradition rather than the genuine hatred of the nothern prods

Nothing to do with exacting revenge for the Lewes Protestant Martyrs then?

Lewes Martyrs - Wikipedia

Oh and Firle is all of 5 miles from Lewes so definitely no crossover there eh GE?

 

[Ground Elder]

They are different bonfire societies, organised by and involving different people. I'm not sure what point you are making planetgeli?

its more an excuse for a bit of anarchy these days than organised anti Catholicism nobody is running round attacking Catholics in Sussex

That 20k figure is toss. There is no way an RAF Jumbolina costs 7k/hour to operate. No finance costs on the hull for a start...

No reason why the RAF can't make a profit on the deal, if it's coming out of party funds ...
