The DUP party view is that they don't believe in marriage eqality, so does Sharia Law

The DUP party view is that they don't believe in homosexuality, so does Sharia Law

The DUP party view is that they don't believe in abortion in the case of rape, so does Sharia Law

The DUP party view is that there should be mandatory prayer days, so does Sharia Law

The DUP party view (but only those of the Free Presbyterian Church) is that women should have head coverings, so does Sharia Law

The DUP party line is that blasphemy should be outlawed, so does Sharia Law

The DUP party view is that alcohol consumption should be restricted, so does Sharia Law

The DUP party view is that they don't believe in evolution, so does Sharia Law

The DUP party view is that line dancing is a sin, so does Sharia Law

The DUP party get very upset about symbols, so does Sharia Law

We've soon no one else to blame, we're consuming ourselves into oblivion.

Who is this "we", ya squareheaded sausage-muncher wannabe?

Although from 2013, this shows what May is getting into bed with: Former DUP council candidate sentenced to eight years for pipe-bomb attack on Polish neighbours - BelfastTelegraph.co.uk

Now she will have to give Farage a role: https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/e...60684cc0603194 or nasty little tulip Banks will go nuclear

Smacks of desperation. A last "twitch" of the Hard Brexit corpse. Confirms my view of the Tories being between a rock and a hard place. It will be fascinating to watch if they agree.

What it will do is to bolster Labour's chances.

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)

Incredible isn't it? UK influence is saturating whilst the EU gains a new strength of its own. We've soon no one else to blame, we're consuming ourselves into oblivion.

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...

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.

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?

Oh, Theresa, caught between the devil and the DUP...

Go on, fess up, did you nick that line or just spend hours on the bog perfecting it?

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.....

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.

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.
