'Mistake' to form government with DUP
Jonathan Powell told Martha Kearney that the peace process in Northern Ireland is "based on a balance that the British government has made it clear that it's neutral", but that "once you have DUP support you're no longer neutral".
- I wondered at that when I first read about the coalition earlier. A red rag to wave in front of all the southern Sinn Fein-voting counties. What a mess.detritus
- The wee progress indicator nub doesn't move when you're on a different tab. How odd.detritus
- desperate. epic fail. she will be gone soon.fadein11

Found this in my funny folder. I suppose we should be thankful. Stephen Crabb!

Boris is the boy your mum makes you invite to your house to play even though he always breaks your toys because he's too rough. "Mum," you say. "It's not fair. I don't even like Boris!" Your mum's had enough of it. Boris's mum is in her Thursday salsa 'n' nattering class and she sees first hand the impact Boris's friendlessness has on her. "You're playing with Boris Johnson, and that's the end of it!"
That afternoon, after school, the two of you sit in silence while Boris – inexplicably wearing shorts even in November, an abundance of hormones making him a good foot taller than you, three times your weight – sits and watches you play Megadrive. "My turn," he says, his sticky hands grabbing at yours. "Mine!"
He throws Sonic into the Chemical Plant acid three times in one minute and busts you both down to one life. You spent 45 minutes getting here, pirouetting through loop-de-loops, avoiding Robotnik. He has no rings to protect him. His large dumb hands claw at the B button. "You have to jump, Bori—" It's too late. Sonic is impaled on a spike, bounces down to his death.
Boris turns to you, huge, the dull sheen behind his eyes menacing in its emptiness. "Bimily bomily," he whispers, "Bimbily bob bob."
- hah, crabb is insane. remember when he resigned from the government for sexting a kid while still calling gay people unholy and running for prime minister.kingsteven

https://www.youtube.…Bluejam - The DUP are that obnoxious family member that turns up at gatherings and after a few drinks starts talking about 'The Blacks' and corporal punishment.face_melter
- Patrick Stewart lives in the US now. I guess this explains his reaction.CyBrainX

Apparently Teresa May plans on taking the lingering fart approach...
- I think she's in a very difficult position. From a domestic perspective she should fuck right off. From a European/Global perspective a leaderless UK leaves usMorning_star
- in a very vulnerable position. Just look at the global markets since last night.Morning_star
- She's a busted flush. Probably a leadership election in the next couple of weeks with cunts like Boris and Liam Fox pitching up.face_melter

- What an embarrassment we are.monoboy
- Well the one redeeming sentiment is at least we'll never be as embarrassing as the USset
- So a submarine berthing at a naval port is somehow an embarrassment? A
Strip away the DM's weird narrative here and this is literally a non-storydetritus - There's talk of moving our deterrent from the Clyde to a permanent home on Gibraltar. Should go down well with the EU.monoboy
- Talk where? Gibraltar's pretty much indefensible in that regard, so I can't imagine that's actually on the cards.detritus
- ...unless all those rumours about a secret underwater cave to house nuclear subs are true, but they're not.detritus
- If things get that bad we'll probably house our Nukes in Virginia, as we sort of do now with 'our' Tridents.detritus
- There's a few articles in the right-wing tabloids mainly to stir up shite about the SNP. Funny though.monoboy

I have to postal vote, so need to make a decision in the next couple of days. Was kind of hoping the forms would get lost in the post.
- commit unspeakable acts of violence on said form and upload the video footage to youtube.Bluejam

- lying cunts.
hey ho, it's a done deal, no point in carrying on whingeing about ithans_glib - Boris gets his Foreign Office gig, Fox gets back into government and can use public money to fly his fuckboys across the globe and shack up in 5* hotels. Cool!face_melter

I think that Conservative are going to get a big fright.
If more under 20's get their asses along to vote then Conservatives can get chucked out very easily.
Corbyn is doing right by talking to the youth and hooking up with grime stars.Conservative is banking on people voting as they usually do - where the majority is old people voting.
With social media highlighting so much of the Conservative shortcomings, rich-favouring policies and BBC bullshit the younger and online generation is very much anti-conservative.May is very very far removed from reality and is too shit-scared to do any debates because she knows she'll fail.
The craziest thing is that May wants to bring back Fox hunting!
When something like 85% of the population is ANTI fox hunting, that's the most stupidest c*nting thing she could ever do. It's like she WANTS to fail!- it's not that she wants to, rather she knows that she can't. there just aren't enough grime fans out thereFax_Benson
- <- She does mate. That's the thing. She knows Brexit is going to be a catastrophe and doesn't want to carry the can for it.monoboy
- So lose or form a coalition and then blame it on the other party when it goes tits up.monoboy
- i hoping the 18-24s have got their shit together ...Bluejam
- You never know. Corbyn has definitely caused a groundswell there.monoboy
