Very short, not much to it at all:

And the price to be paid:

The DUP has Theresa by the balls.
When they say jump she asks "how high would you like me to jump master"?
-
Small potatoes. That can come out of the 250 million a second saved by not being in the EU. In fact free drinks and electric cars for everyone.

Yep a price worth paying to keep Corbyn and McDonnell out of Downing Street. :y
Wee Jimmy Krankie will be jumping up and down though! ;D

Interesting how when corbyn wants to spend money on increasing carers' allowances, or helping the unemployed U25's, it comes from the "Magic Money Tree". But when she's handing it over just to keep herself out the dole office, its a "very very good deal".
Even by politicians' standards, Ms Weak n Wobbly is a slimy little toad.
-
Does it surprise you? Self serving gits the lot of .em ;D
-
If the tables were turned. I'm sure Corbyn would have given the SNP and Plaid Cymru blank cheques, and I shudder to think what he would have given Sinn Fein. Probably a blank cheque, abolition of the requirement to swear loyalty to the crown, so the mass murdering traitors could take their seats in the commons, possibly a United Ireland by the end of the parliament - thus triggering full blown civil war in Norn Irn.
Politics is a dirty grubby business, but in the grand scheme of things, its a billion quid very well spent. :)
-
Full blown civil war ;D ;D ;D
You get worse. ::)
-
You get more tedious.
-
Handbags!! :D ;D
-
Anyone who thinks the imposition of a United Ireland wouldn't cause a civil war, has no idea what they are talking about. ;)
-
And if you think that's what a left-wing coalition would deliver, I'll take two of whatever you're smoking :D
;D
-
If Corbyn was stupid and idealistic enough to do it - and his history shows that to be a possibility - then that would be the result.
What a left wing govt. would certainly deliver is economic ruin. Every single one of them has since the first one was elected, and that will never change.
Which is why the billion quid of grubby money, is a billion quid well spent.

Joking apart I think that Albs does have a point. Both Corbyn and McDonnell are on record supporting a united Ireland and the idea has raised it's head in Brussels in the chit chat regarding BREXIT and the UK/EIRE border. ;)
Would the Unionist community take this lying down if the prospect of a united Ireland gathered steam? ???
I doubt it to be honest. ::)
-
Very true.
But if we're talking about on the record, Ms Weak n Wobbly wants us to remain as we're stronger in Europe. There was no general election coming in 2017, and I want to know when the first week's £350m is due that Boris promised us. In reality, none of the above on the record statements is going to come into reality in my lifetime.
And now for something completely different...

Lot of ifs, ands and buts, as usual. None of which are ever likely to happen but, hey, talking hypothetically is all some people have left. Then again, some of us this side of the water might not give a shite what goes on across the Irish Sea, as long as we get our winter fuel payments. ;D

Despite what she thinks......she is not Jesus Christ she is just a very naughty girl. :)
-
Ireland to vote to leave EU next? :D
Apparently over 80% of trade is with UK, it would solve border issues and we just carry on as before.
-
I want to know when the first week's £350m is due that Boris promised us.....
This has always bemused me, when people carry on about Boris and his bus. ::)
As far as I remember it was just a suggestion that we could spend the £350m a week that we pay the EU on the NHS instead, yet for many it seems to have become a promise written in stone! ::) OK the actual figure quoted was a bit naughty as that represents the gross contributions to the EU and dosn't take account of the rebate and money given back for CAP and other projects, but never the less the suggestion that there will be significant sums of money that could be spent on the NHS is and was sound IMO. :y
Maybe it's just me..... :-X ::) ;D
-
Your correct. :y...........although it was a stupid slogan which was always going to bite them on the arse afterwards.
I can say this because I didn't support the Judean peoples front. I supported the Peoples front of Judea. :y ;D
As for the Republic of Ireland leaving the EU ? If it runs out of euros to give them, there will be no reason for them to stay, so it will then become an issue.

I wonder if they'd need so many referenda to decide to leave? ;)

How many referendums did they have on the EU Constitution Lisbon Treaty before it was passed? :-\

Um no, its more that he said it, on the record:

But don't let that get in the way of your memories.
Also, by "a bit naughty" I assume you mean made up ::) in that it assumes we can have back our contributions £350m and keep all the money the eu sends back to us. The very definition of having your cake and eating it.

Let me explain the 'principle' for you:
When politicians expect to lose a campaign(everybody expected the EU referendum result to go the other way), they make specific promises sure in the knowledge that they won't ever have to make good on them - We'll spend the £350million a week that the EU costs on the NHS
When they expect to win, all you hear is vague groups of words that sound like English phrases - Brexit means Brexit.
-
All you needed to explain is what the word "could" means. ;) ::)

They had one on the EU constitution but gave the wrong answer, so the title was changed to the Lisbon treaty, and a few things typed up in a slightly different way. They then had to vote again and give the right answer. :)
-
Absolutely :y. However, you would have thought he would have let it go now he's part of the government (and I use the term loosely) who has to deliver on it.
The principle I don't understand from anyone (regardless of their political stripe) is to absolutely excuse "their side" anything they say or do, whilst hanging on the every word or mis-statement of the other side.
It seems to exhibit a lack of clarity of thought, to blindly excuse one party but not another. What happened to being able to agree with some parts of what your chosen party says/does but not others? Its all a bit too "Trump" for my tastes.
-

Again, if you actually listen to the words...

Good grief, Jimmy, such naivety...it's called politics. ;)
-
I read the words in the previous link to the Wail. Cant listen at the moment though. I'm not really trying to defend Boris. I think he had a novelty value which has mostly worn off. However, during the campaign, their battlebus didn't actually say they would get back £350 million per week and spend it on the NHS.
It was a stupid slogan though, which that side of the Leave campaign should never have used. They were advised of this at the time by the other side of the leave campaign, but took no notice.

Neither of those links get in the way of my memories Jimmy, because in both clips he dosn't make any promises. He makes suggestions sure, and not invalid ones either. ::)
I don't believe that Boris Johnson ever made a specific promise that £350 million a week would be made available to the NHS. It's become an urban myth, but if you can come up with proof that he did then I will make a full apology. ;)
When eventually we do leave the EU there will be extra cash available. It won't be £350 million a week though.... :-X ;D

No, but again, your interpretation allows for caveats not given to politicians of other stripes, which was my point.
I sincerely hope you're right on the money front. The referendum decision has definitively made us poorer as a nation in the past year (downgraded credit rating and fall in pound increasing the costs of borrowing and servicing our ever-growing debt) and we will have some considerable ground to make up once the deal is concluded. Whether it's a "good" one or a "bad" one.

Not really Jimmy. It's just that I don't believe that Boris said that. If what people say about Jeremy Corbyn's links with IRA figures were lies then I'd stand up for him as well, even though I don't agree most of his policies. ;)
