    Not my own work, but someone has been down this road.

    Here are some of the DUP's more ... erm ... colourful opinions:

    Abortion should be "ruled out for rape victims"

    The Pope is the Anti-Christ

    Gay couples "more likely to abuse children"

    "Homosexuality is an abomination"

    No gay marriage

    "Gays more vile than child abusers"

    Attempts to reduce CO2 emissions are "Green propaganda"

    Claims that fossil fuels will run out are "nonsense"

    "Man-made climate change is a con"

    Creationism "taught in every school"

    Removal of evolutionary teaching from the curriculum

    The 60 million-year-old Giant's Causeway is only 6,000 years old

    Line dancing is "sinful"

    BB his seems a strange source and if it was true I'd expect it to be everywhere. Have you seen any other source? Certainly would put the cat among the pigeons.

    They do say that Karma has a habit of biting you on the bum.

    Scottish Tory leader Davidson delivered this speech in Belfast last year - http://www.scottishconservatives.com/2016/08/ruth-davidson-keynote-speech-at-belfast-pride-event/

    I wonder what she's thinking after today's little DUP love-in? <laugh>

    After the referendum, anyone who dared to criticise the result received a deal of abuse as a 'Remoaner' even though almost HALF the population wanted to stay in, which , given the degree of deception in the propaganda was quite an achievement. My point ?
    What an embittered rant this is. In spite of all the money , propaganda , and biased media reporting, we have a result that indicates the country is sick and tired of failed superiority politics, arrogant 'party of government ' contempt for people, influence by non tax paying media barons and one that looks to a brighter future. For the record, young people voted in greater numbers than for years-the best news for DEMOCRACY in years.

    I posted very similar on our board . Hope the young now realise how important a vote is , and how precious it is , and what a difference it can make . I just wish more had voted on Brexit .

    Only a source within a source - https://wirralinittogether.blog/201...peoples-act-reported-to-electoral-commission/ - which is hard to refute.

    And she certainly did make the claim - as the 17 minute 11 seconds mark of this confirms

    Labour have 35 MPs in Wales and Scotland so EVEL will benefit the Tories.

    Reading about the DUP makes the Tories seem quite a "nice" party by comparison.

    The French news are tonight asking how a Prime Minister can be so out of touch that she talks about a huge number of new MPs and finishes up with less. They also are saying that she has been humiliated by the voters, and query how long she can survive.

    A Song for Theresa - somewhat aptly an Irish one....

    Quiet Desperation - "there's another place I've got to be"

    Now I may be wrong here, but it looks like Theresa has also struck a deal with the little-known Ned Kelly Party...

    David Davis would make an ideal PM, he should have been made PM before instead of Dave Boy.
