The DUP, eh? Welcome to your new lizard overlords

[Ian Rate]

It's going to be interesting at the very least.

Mrs May has cornered herself with some very dubious colleagues.

I am surprised that she felt she had a mandate from her backbenchers to collude with these deplorable knuckle draggers. Despite being leader surely more consultation would be expected from her parliamentary party before this odious alignment?

 

[ddraig]

From 2008 I think. Still shit though and soon to be repeated I expect.

Is it? Posted as if was this weekend
Glad if it's old

Local paper are running with the story & say there were a couple of arrests. Two arrested in clashes during Protestant march through Liverpool

Edit. You can clearly see a bus shelter advert for a local college. That's current, I saw it the other day.

Sure you should be surprised, that he didn't get kcmg or similar.

they are the dark side of john majors old style 1950s fantasy with a side order of anti Catholicism.
when people complained about the local catholic school parents parking on the grass verges.
my suggestion of getting a mob together to throw bottles of piss at the kids and painting big mural was looked at as if I was insane

He thinks they're blasphemous.

Another video from last night in Liverpool. I walked past the place earlier on my way home , no sign of any damage & full of people enjoying themselves.

Ah..right... hammering away at " the sash " directly outside an Irish pub with a couple of tricolours . I'm sure the British people will be thoroughly enchanted with the importation of these colourful cultural practices and the mardi gras atmosphere we experience here every summer . While the pub owners will thank them for adding a large dash of authenticity to the Irish pub genre . All too often derided for its fake plastic nature .

sickening

Even Alan Partridge saw ELO - at the Birmingham NEC back in 1976 - making the DUP even more banally small-minded and foaming-mouthed than a fictional, comedically bigoted, priggish Little Englander.

Sein Fein will be nursing a hangover this morning.
Hey we may be terrorists but we arnt the DUP

They dont have to do anything and not taking their seats they will have nothing to do with the coming shitstorm. The DUP won't be able to resist the oppurtunity to express their er views
At which point the english public will go what that fuck mostly.
Only problem is not sure the south wants the fuckers maybe trump can be persuaded to take them

bit in the bogroll known as the 'metro' this morning about concerns that dup were "too close to loyalist fighters during the troubles"

In Peter Taylor's Loyalists book he quotes one of the early loyalist paramilitary leaders as saying that they deliberately kept away from direct contact with Ian the Cunt because they wanted to provide him with just that, deniability.

your lot were running the loyalist gangs anyway so nobody wants to look too closely at certain links do they

Some gangs some of the time they were perfectly capable of coming up with horrors all on their own

 

[SpineyNorman]

They sometimes needed help though, like with the Dublin and Monaghan bombings.

(don't usually go for conspiracies but that one is well dodgy)

 

[DotCommunist]

yeah but the ones you weren't running, the state knew about. I refuse to believe they didn't know about the shankhill butchers.

Looks like Dup are under pressure from their own supporters. May can't possibly agree to this march stuff could she this'll go well.

Fucking hell they have some cheek.

Seriously though, this really underlines how dodgey such an alliance is in terms of the UK government's necessary neutral position in the NIPP.

May has produced a short information video about how she intends the Con/ DUP alliance to pan out

What happens if the Tory party can't reach an agreement with the DUP?

 

[littlebabyjesus]

What happens if the Tory party can't reach an agreement with the DUP?

You think anyone knows?

My understanding is that they won't try a queen's speech unless they're sure it will pass in the commons, as it not passing is the equivalent to a vote of no-confidence, and that Labour are planning to table their own version of a qs to present to parliament, but I can't see how that would pass either. A new election could be sooner rather than later.
