I think you pretty much answered your own question. People are rightly concerned that May is jumping into bed with terrorist sympathisers. People were rightly concerned about Corbyn's stance. Sadly we have a House of Commons that is full of corrupt weasels vying for power in whatever way they...

Stormont is still run by two mafias.

But you were stating the bleedin obvious :wink: DUP were the extreme wing of the UUP that decided the UUP were not strong enough. They, obviously got the support of the UVF, or whatever incarnation they were in the 70s, and so it began.

And Sinn Fienn have since the late 70s, your point?

I can't link you anywhere, but the links between the UVF and the DUP are deep. You need to search individuals from the 60s and 70s that were part of the DUP.

The Tories grabbing on to power at all means and sucking up to terrorist wings was not my idea of Utopia. It just shows how far these people will go to stay in charge. Can say what you like about Corbyn (not a supporter) but (I assume) he hasn't gone begging for Sinn Fienns 7 votes to give him...

No you couldn't make it up. The Tories cosy up with the political wing of a terrorist organisation, well played down by the Brits during the IRA problems, because they used the UVF to do their dirty work, and now that said organisation has a say in our politics? This will alienate the Catholics...

No choice? So any scruples they may have had now go out of the window to take ten votes from the DUP? They really are selling their soul. First they show arrogance, complacency and total disregard for the British public, and in order to hold on to power they cosy up with the political wing of a...

I am of no political persuasion but it does make me rather nausea's to think a Government is sucking up to an ideology.

I do get the feeling that social media momentum will hound the Tories for sucking up to a political wing of terrorists, it may only take days, maybe weeks. But when it does, the Tories will be isolated.

H Block used to be quite full up with as many prods as Catholics.

Without going through history, googling, wiki'ing, I would say pretty even on those stakes.

DUP = UVF Sinn Fienn = IRA It is quite unequivocal.

Even Brexiters voted against the 'hard' Brexit.

I absolutely agree with this, both Cameron and May thought they had the British public by the balls with polls showing how way ahead they were in Brexit and the General Election respectively. I think they both underestimated the British public and I am damned sure no other politician will ever...

Back in the day when I lived there, the DUP were the second party for protestants after the UUP. The DUP led by the rather outspoken Ian Paisley. They were as near as you could get to the Protestant version of Sinn Fienn. They had ties with the UVF and all its affiliations. So, pretty much, it...
