Conservative-DUP Deal - £1bn the price for strong and stable government?

Yes, because we would still be materially better off than under a Corbyn government.

Hardly going to begrudge the people of Northern Ireland some important infrastructure investment considering how far from the troubles they have all come. May had no other option to hobble something together.  However, it's straw patch work on a sinking ship.  One positive thing the Tory party had was their increasingly liberal social views, they have now married themselves by association to a party that is social conservative, that's putting it very mildly, it will collapse and the Tory ship will sink..

Let them go for it its what lead May into this disastrous position.  What it shows is why Labour managed to put together the Good Friday agreement, they can talk to all parties.

LOL - for someone who was bitching about rewriting the history of the 70's you dont half rewrite some history yourself..

Well you could, if I had actually criticised it here yet.
All you did was prove my point that the blind Tory faithful will just go on and on about Labour everytime anyone dares to say anything against May and her party.


Edit: Although you haven't mentioned past Tory misdemeanours, and I don't recall anyone else doing so either, it seems I now need to point out that there are also people who blindly defend labour too. These people are equally as laughable.
There we go, I've course corrected back to the right, forum normality is restored.

Whereas the blind Labour faithful just go on and on about Tories all the time?  

rancidpunk

If you care to point out where anyone has done that in this thread, I'll make sure to amend the balance of my post.

nothing wrong with fiscal transfers provided they don't come with strings attached as in a bribe

I think Labour are going to wind their neck in over this now, bearing in mind that Dodds has threatened to release the correspondence from Labour to the DUP when they tried to do a deal in 2010 and 2015.

At least now we know what 'NI Contribution' means on your payslip.




Yes, I did steal that from Facecrack.
