The Dup Manifesto ....

[saintpeter48]

basically its the Old Testament with fortnightly bin collections!

[mikey4444]

lol St P !

[DTCwordfan]

I didn't know that goodlife was a DUP, the things that you learn on here.

[EDDIE51]

Well explained saintpeter!

[Gromit]

Apparently there has been near mutiny in the Conservative ranks over getting into bed with the DUP.
They reckon all that work of rebranding themselves as 'not the nasty party' will be wasted if they have to kowtow to the Ulster bigots.

[DTCwordfan]

reminds me of that joke about the similarity between a politician and a nappy (pamper) - both need changing out regularly and both are full of the same substance.

[EDDIE51]

Some classic quotes from the DUP founding father here

(Ian Paisley Junior his son is still active in the DUP!)

[mikey4444]

Eddie...to be fair to the late Ian Paisley, he did have a conversion on the road to Damascus in the last few years of his life. Without him, I doubt if we would ever have had the (relative) peace that we see today.

I am much more concerned about the DUP of today, which seems to be a home for bigots.

[Gromit]

It doesn't bode well for the Government's negotiating skills at the EU Brexit meeting, that a simple same sex wedding between the Conservatives and DUP, is taking so long to be agreed.

Google "Caleb foundation", this should pull up a September 2012 article from the Belfast telegraph - sorry can't copy links on this smartphone, which is my only means of access now.

[THECORBYLOON]

There may be millions of pensioners in Great Britain grateful the DUP policy includes retaining the triple lock on state pensions and winter fuel payments.

[anneasquith]

Actually that is very true Corby , not so good if you are Gay though !!!!!

[Old_Geezer]

Gay pensioners won't be left out of the triple lock, or whatever's agreed.

If all the DUP want is fortnightly ​collections then they aren't ambitious enough.

Agreements can only be with issues both sides can go along with. Not sure what all the panic's for.

[ToraToraTora]

should go down well with the left. After all they support sharia etc, not to different from that is it?

[mikey4444]

TTT...complete tosh.

You are capable of a much higher level of debate than that, and you know it

[anneasquith]

What a load of *rap you post ttt.

[naomi24]

There seems to be some misunderstanding here. It doesn’t mean a coalition government.

[ummmm]

I've never seen anyone show support for sharia.
