Doesnt May still have decide if shes going to dissolve Stormont?

Awkward.

 

[Glaucus]

Ah

yes apologies i misread that.

In fairness they probably dont want to get onboard the Titanic after its hit the iceberg.

it also wouldn't work, TM didn't ask or want them and it would serve no purpose either as their ideologies are so far apart.

but Dolph doesn't let facts like that get in the way.

 

[Schlong&Stable]

By killing civilians?

The DUP do not have a military wing, so I am not sure what you're referencing? Certainly some of its members were part of the loyalist paramilitaries, but there was never any informal or formal link between them. That is not the case with Sinn Fein who were the political wing of the IRA.

Just spat coffee everywhere reading your name, you can't post anything serious whilst that's in place

It is my deserved fate

 

[dowie]

funny to see people who were defending Corbyn's terrorist supporting past now suddenly being happy to condemn politicians who supported NI terrorism

She's in a tricky position, direct rule was threatened prior to the election and the DUP don't want that, getting the assembly up and running again without Sinn Fein would be huge mistake.

 

[antijoke]

There is no anti Tory majority, but one of the parties could offer to work with the Tories to pull them towards the centre. Con-lib and con-snp would both have a higher majority than con-dup.

That none of them will even consider having a discussion makes of mockery of those who want PR and more coalitions.

Oh, I thought you were saying they should all join up with Labour to get in.

 

[cu3ed]

Ulster loyalists arent too far away from that if you think terrorists support sinn fein.

lol..they do than support, SF dont make a move till the IRA council says so lol

Ulster Resistance ring any bells?

Terrorist supporting past? Like Thatcher and Pinochet?

 

[adolf hamster]

What flegs would those be? The one that hasn't had any legitimacy since the mid 70's that Loyalists have hanging from every vertical structure possible?

oh cmon, it's not every vertical structure, it's at most every 1/3, they've got orange order flags and union flags on the other 2/3

I think dolph is trying to say that the libs and SNP should have sold out and gone into coalition with satanbot

It's the only opportunity they have to influence Brexit negotiations, to dismiss the opportunity out of hand does significant damage to the soft brexit/repeat referendum cause.

Just acting like their politicians do...

 

[StriderX]

Oh boy, Guess the troubles mark 2 is upon us.

 

[Bigpig]

Naw, yousens are still on designated days, they're shipping them all over to downing street instead.

Ahh ffs what was the point in voting.....

Am away outside to bang the lambeg.

No they're not, wise up!

It wasn't just may who dismissed it out of hand.

What do you want to happen, given that we are where we are results wise?

 

[Schlong&Stable]

They were not a military wing of the DUP though, but even so, what terrorist acts did they commit?

It's a bizarre situation where we declare our own loyalists to be terrorists though. The loyalists primarily existed to resist the IRA, the group which bombed and killed civilians. Not saying the loyalists didn't do evil things, but they were on our side.

Did I miss your post condemning May getting into bed with the DUP?

 

[Glaucus]

so it wasn't just the others like you suggested, utter lol.

there is only one sensible outcome, TM to go and back to the polls, sooner the better.
Not that I want it, but it should be an easy win for Tories, all they have to do is tame their policies down a little bit.
