NI is part of the UK, and just as happens in Scotland, their politicians fought for more money for their constituents. And they got it. What's the problem?

We will have to wait and see.

Finally completing it (but needs to be done pre-Brexit to get the EU funding)

That was the old deal I think. EU money replace with the some of the 'magic billion'. Anyway...

"Around eight years after it was first announced, cash was finally earmarked for the York Street Interchange development as part of the DUP's £1bn deal with the Tories."

"The bulk of the cash needed to build it, around 40%, was originally due to come from the EU."

Is it EU funded? I thought it was EU financed. Might have it wrong.

I'd imagine Stormont will decide should it ever get back up-and-running. A third is already being eyed-up for what's known as the York Street interchange. Just in case you're interested :

She called an election so the people could choose.

I think they call it democracy.

I'm sorry to say that in this case I think it was about not wanting to be in charge of the Tory Party for Brexit. There was no way Boris was going to be allowed to take Dave's job after the result last year but I really don't think she or any of the top of the Remain supporters thought it through. So she set off with a massive majority and set about turning it into the worst position she could in as few weeks.

No one in their right mind would have brought out the policies that she did and expect a winning vote...

However I do think she expected comrade K to be wiped out by the uKip contingent and at the end was probably bricking herself.

Did I just see you rubbing your hands in glee?

There are interesting opportunities. Might work out and might not. Good bunch of people running it.

FTFY.

I'll be intrigued to see how and where the money gets spent.

I'm pretty sure the DUP won't be just handing it out to their voters.

Looking at the stats, 292,316 voted for the DUPe candidates, so their votes cost £3420.96 each - close to 1000x the rest of the UK.

Actually £540.07 each for 1851600 people.

Most of the 1,851,600 people did not vote for the 10 who took the bribe.

I was thinking of just borrowing a few of yours to save some cash. Aren't they just decorative?

I don't know anyone who's too fussed either way. Looking forward to see your neighbours take the same live-and-let-live approach.
