Indeed. But there is nothing new in that manifesto, really. It mostly tracks what they were saying 2 years ago when people thought they might be in the position they are now. This party changes very, very slowly, if at all.
Anyone who has been watching them for years won't be surprised by anything in that manifesto. And the stuff about corporation tax, the triple lock, gay rights, abortion, and their views on Brexit and the border with the Republic have been reported on quite a bit in the last 24 hours or so. There's no need to make stuff up.

Theresa May:
Our two parties have enjoyed a strong relationship over many years, and this gives me the confidence to believe that we will be able to work together in the interests of the whole United Kingdom.

There's a suggestion that there may be a legal challenge available to prevent the DUP allying with the Tories - that under the Good Friday Agreement the UK government must remain neutral, particularly when there is a risk (as there is right now with no Executive Ministers appointed in Stormont) of Direct Rule.
Interesting times.....Comment

Sadly the poster has a date on it, which doesn't correlate with this election. It could be earlier locals, or a previous GE, but it smacks of desperation on your part. Hope you didn't spend too many hours trawling google to find it. That would be quite sad...Originally posted by darmstadt View PostTheresa May:

Edit: It's from 2010, the last time the 6th of May was on a Thursday. You really are quite a sad and twisted little cockwomble, aren't you.Last edited by Mordac; 10 June 2017, 20:57.His heart is in the right place - shame we can't say the same about his brain...Comment

I knew that you ****tard, it was just to point out that DUP aren't all exactly Tory lovers. As it is, it looks like that the Tories are lying again, first stating that there has been a 'confidence and supply' agreement and not stating that in fact a final agreement has to be signed after the DUP lot said there wasn't. You love liars don't you?Originally posted by Mordac View PostSadly the poster has a date on it, which doesn't correlate with this election.

I wonder will it be a Soft DUP or a Hard DUP?
Hard DUP is a bit like UKIP, except replace the hatred of all Muslims with a hatred of all Roman Catholics.
If May can't negotiate a strong and stable deal with the DUP, what chance has she got with the EU?
But we're all going to be OK - Brexiters got us into this clusterfeck of a mess, they'll have a way out (probably involves blaming the EU, although I'm not sure "I blame the EU" is exactly a way to do business or run a country)…Maybe we ain’t that young anymoreComment
