OP to answer your question: its very simple. The DM needs to promote some nostalgia for the "good old times". The DUP will fit perfectly! ... Shock

HahahahahahhahahahahahahahhahahahHahhahahHhHah hold on here a minute till I pick my lungs up off the floor... decent politicians... see them pigs flying outside your window?
No, me neither.
There ain't one decent bone in their homophobic, xenophobic, Catholic hating bodies.

They are corrupt... RHI..nama. They are an old boys club who want a PROTESTANT STATE FOR A PROTESTANT PEOPLE!!
Bunch of bitter old bastards is what they are!

Oh fuck I forgot about Peter Robinson and how he extended his 'trust' of Muslims... he'd let them go to the shop for him but that's about it.
Progressive free thinking liberated people of the mainland please please please go out and protest at this...these fuckers and knuckle dragging bat shit regressive idiots who will contribute nothing to your country! Decline these bastards

Aside from big utterly terrified at the thought of any part of the DUP's manifesto coming to fruition at any point I've just had a sneaky look at the Daily Fail. I thought it'd be interesting to see how they'd managed to put any sort of postive spin on this whole debacle......

They've just given up, their current top four stories on their grubby little app are all relating to some ancient crap about about princess Diana!

Keeping it real.

I wonder how the dm will react if the IRA decide to retaliate to TM basically wiping her arse with the good Friday agreement.

Saying our friends and allies in the DUP. What the actual fuck was she thinking?! Is 'winning' so important to her that she's willing to stir that hornets nest again?

I'm sure they'll still try to spin it that it's all Labour's fault. Luckily people aren't so thick to believe their crap anymore.

ffsnotthisagain · 10/06/2017 01:06

I literally can't cope.. this is ducking crazy. Can't believe it's actually happening

They should all be In jail for inciting hatred or corruption!

Below is a list of those who voted for the Tory/DUP coalition:

Nobody.

One man't terrorists etc............

It will be very easy to counter any media attacks from Boris on Corbyn for being 'a terrorist sympathiser'.

"Socially conservative" is the BBC's description. Anti-abortion, anti-LGBT rights, pro-creationism bollocks.

I expect the DM will say they uphold traditional values Envy

ffsnotthisagain · 10/06/2017 11:45

Socially flippin backward more like

One of the DUP MPs, sammy Wilson, has spoken out public ally about women breastfeeding (he thinks it shouldn't happen in public) He also doesn't believe in climate change.

They're against same sex marriage, Sunday opening and Bono he earth is only 4000 years old.

Another of their MPs, Little Pengelly, was public ally supported by three loyalist terrorist groups during the GE campaign. Her father was accused of gun running.

They're in favour of post primary school selection, ie grammar schools, to the detriment of working class children.

There have been numerous examples of them making decisions which discrimate, and the NI Assembly fell because of the RHI scandal which will cost all Uk taxpayers hundreds of millions. An investigation is ongoing, win their party leader front, life and centre.

Google them, and be afraid that they now have any influence in the wider running of the U.K.

They are dinosaurs (who don't believe in dinosaurs, cos the world ain't that old.....)

They are more British than people who actually live in England.

Westminster - you're welcome (and good luck in dealing with the crazies!)

BoysaDearyMe · 10/06/2017 12:07

Believe the earth^ (Bono not at all involved, lol - stupid autocorrect)

ffsnotthisagain · 10/06/2017 12:08

They are worse than awful... people of the mainland, we are so sorry! Good luck!

ffsnotthisagain · 10/06/2017 12:10

Lol bono... even he could t fix the DUP!
What dumbfounds and embarrasses me most is that people here keep fucking voting for them! Why????

metspengler · 10/06/2017 12:16

Creationism what?

I get that gay marriage thing and abortion would not not go hand in hand with a socially conservative moral world view, and but I didn't think the DUP were creationists.

In any case it scarcely matters as they were voting with the conservative party anyway so this "sudden" arrangement is not a big change really.
