Yeah........get stuck in to her.  ;D
Oh I think she'll be getting it good n proper shortly (oo er).


Interesting I thought that Ruth Davidson is calling today for a "softening" of Brexit, to prioritise the economy and free trade over immigration. Not saying it will come to anything, but if the 13 con's north of the border took her lead, it's going to be a pain in the 'arris for old Weak n Wobbly, particularly as it would cancel out the advantage her Faustian pact with the nutcases gave her.  :P

I suspect it will come to something.

Anywhere from us not leaving the EU to the softest of Brexit. The tide is turning.

We'll leave in name only and become a vassal state of the EU.  :o  ::)  >:(

Don't count on it. The DUP and most of the Tory party are real brexiteers as opposed to pretend brexiteers. Ruth Davidson, and almost anyone else in the Tory party wont risk a constitutional crisis by voting with Corbyn, and thus another general election. We shall see.  ;)

The Sunday papers have really gone for Mother Theresa this morning. Almost cruel in their lambasting of her election gamble. A cartoon in the supposedly staid Sunday Times has her disheveled on the pavement outside a betting shop, with a Corbyn-faced dog pissing on her. Totally unnecessary imo, it seems to be a race to the lowest point of bad taste.

Labour lost the election, but May failed to achieve a great victory when she should have done.  But to listen and see some of the drivel coming out from the media, and various Labour MP's, makes me angry, and is a big switch off.

What has happened has happened, now everyone has got to move on and make sense of the mad politics of this age and take this country forward with Brexit now THE crucial factor! ::) ::)

May is in the process of forming her new cabinet. To keep the DUP happy, she is creating a new post of 'Minister for Spuds'.

Apparently its going to take more tan that to keep them happy. They are pushing for Farage to be included in the Brexit negotiating team. :)
Meanwhile over on planet Brussels, they are planning on demolishing the parliament building (because it doesnt comply with their own regulations) and replacing it with a brand new building. The cost is reported to be a mere 500 million euros.  ;D

That is cheap.  The estimated cost of rebuilding / refurbishing, and generally making our Houses of Parliament buildings safe and fit for purpose is between £3.5bn and £5.7bn, and those figures will go up!! :o :o :o ;)

You really should stop believing reading the Express Albs!  ;D

Meanwhile The Guardian is reporting that the EU has threatened to delay negotiations for a year to revise it's negotiating guidelines if HMG insist on parallel talks on withdrawal and trade!  ::)

FFS !! the DUP are NOT loyalist paramilitaries. Jesus wept.  >:(

No, they're just full of former Ulster Resistance and Ulster Volunteer Force members. Of course everyone will no doubt argue they've all moved on and changed their stance since the days of the troubles. But apparently Jeremy Corbyn isn't afforded the same allowances. So I shall continue to judge them by the yardstick JC is measured by.

Once a terrorist sympathiser, always a terrorist sympathiser.

And that's before we get started on their anti gay rights, anti climate change and  anti abortion stances. They are a nasty grubby little collection of (possibly) former terrorists.

Proof of this please.

Wikipedia says (currently) "The DUP has historically been associated with paramilitarism and in recent years has been supported by paramilitary Ulster loyalist groups such as the Ulster Defence Association, the Ulster Volunteer Force and the Red Hand Commando, which have been proscribed terrorist organisations."

i'm not sure you'll ever see proof but those paramilitary people must have gone somewhere, and (for those ones anyway) it wouldn't have been to sinn fein.
Without wanting to get into the ins and outs of the debate about DUP - because I don't know - FFS do not believe anything on Wikipedia.

Every time I do quizzes, I put false info on Wikipedia, as its a great way to catch cheaters ;).  I'm sure others do it for other benefits.


I also think Wikipedia should be closed, due to greed, but that's off topic here.

So....the queens speech has been put back by 'a few days'. I reckon Theresa is having more trouble with the 1922 committee than the DUP. This will be one big compromise from start to finish. Don't expect to see any proposals which could upset even four or five back benchers, not without some kind of bribe being paid.
