THE TORIES’ BROTHERS IN ARMS
It has just crossed my mind that DUP with 10 MPs will be in Brexit negotiations but SNP with 35 won’t. Slow clap Scots.
++++++++++
As you may have noticed, I’ve never really been a fan of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.
The events of the last few months have hardly served to make any fonder of the place.
++++++++++
John Major always refused to rely on DUP as he realised the consequences for Ireland. Tories today put their career before peace in Ireland.
++++++++++
First the UK voted to leave the EU. A mistake, in my opinion, and handled incredibly badly by the UK government, given the narrowness of the overall result and the massive variations between the constituent countries.
Part of that was a chronic quality of leadership up for offer and the terrible choice that the Tories made in “Strong and Stable”.
++++++++++
Says much about the London commentariat that they are now shocked at what appalling knuckle-draggers the DUP are, not having noticed before.
++++++++++
If there were a time to hold an election, it would have been when the Tories chose a new leader, and with her, a new direction. Certainly before the notification to the EU that Article 50 had been invoked and the ticking of the clock had commenced.
However, Strong and Stable kept telling us that she had no intention of calling an election… until, that is, we were on borrowed time.
++++++++++
Tory/ DUP? No deal better than a bad deal.
++++++++++
Then, assuming that the polls were correct and that she could get herself a whopping majority, she decided to shake the illusive ‘magic money tree’ and fund an election. (Cabinet Office minister Mark Harper estimated that the 2010 election cost the public purse £113,255,271. This was broken down to £28,655,271 for distributing candidates’ mailings and £84.6million for carrying out the vote.)
++++++++++
Sinn Fein says the Tories are breaching the Good Friday Agreement for favouring one side over the other, they’re playing with fire.
++++++++++
In common with everything else the woman does, it was a misjudgement. And in addition to wasting over a hundred million of our money, she put us through weeks of misery listening to her pathetic wailing, cost our political parties (that don’t have a magic money tree of off-shorers to donate), hundreds of thousands. And in the end, she lost her majority, made a fool of herself and her united kingdom, and delayed the start of the Brexit talks by a further 6 weeks.
++++++++++
Strange that she’s apparently so exercised about DUPs execrable LGBTI stance but was happy to defend the Rape Clause
++++++++++
It’s quite difficult to credit that one woman could be quite so incompetent and could have caused quite so much inconvenience to so many people. But she was and she has.
And now she has decided to compound it by teaming up with some neanderthal party from Northern Ireland, who won’t work on Sunday, believe that the whole of life is descended from Noah and his Mrs, consider gay people to be worse than paedophiles (remember Mrs Robinson), and have police check women’s homes to ensure that they haven’t bought any abortion pills over the net.
++++++++++
Just seen someone describe the DUP manifesto as “basically just the bible, with fortnightly bin collections” Too real #ge2017
++++++++++
Never mind that it will put the Good Friday Agreement at risk by showing favouritism to the Protestant side over the Catholics. Never mind that it makes the EU talks much more complex. Never mind that it may even be illegal.
And will she go? No, she will not.
She says she’s here (to be laughed at?) for 5 years.
Of course, her party says the opposite. And she’ll be gone by the end of the summer.
And we may have to shake the money tree again for another £113 million.
Oh, what it is to be British and have all that money to waste on her vanity.
