Ooh sky news just said May has effectively apologized for her mess up. They said in the backbench meeting thing she said she 'got the party into this mess and will get them out of it' and that she would still be their leader as long as they want her.

Its a shame she cannot admit to the public that she made a huge error of judgement and wasted a load of money on a pointless election and that it was an attempt at a power grab from her that failed drastically. Instead she just goes on with strong and stable speeches as if it never bloody happened

Oh, so there is a magic money tree after all?

Scummy party. Truly.

She is just totally pathetic.
Nothing to admire about her at all.

This is unbelievable. Its precarious being an MP. That's why its so well paid.

Orange March went through my. Village every year when I was a kid. All the slack-jawed old farts from the masonic lodge trotting along beating drums like cavemen. Hilarious stuff really, with their beetroot red whiskey drinkers faces... Most of the year the furthest they'd walk was from their couch to the car .

That's a perfect description of them.

Oh dear. Doesn't sound like much fun where you lived.
Over here the Orange and Republican marches are festival days with a lot of young lads beating the drums and crowds of girls following them hoping to get themselves a date.

What a ****ing idiot. Totally.

Presumably any financial help would come from CCHQ funds not from the public purse

Of course, but it's the principal that's the issue. We'll help our cronies out but **** the disabled, we don't have a magic money tree to help them

Indeed. Why can't they just go on the dole until they find another job? I mean, if there's two things we know about being on benefits in Britain;

1) Being on the dole is amazing, you get loads of free stuff, have loads of money and can basically do what you want. You can just spend all day buying iPads and trainers! What's the problem?

2) Getting jobs is easy, anyone who can't get a job within a couple of months of losing the last one just isn't trying hard enough.

This is the Tories we're talking about here.
Where they declare the money is coming from and where it actually ends up coming from will likely be two very different things.

Lol so now its seen as a bad thing when MP's in a party want to help their colleagues ... this forum is hilarious

[DemolitionRed]

This is a much better style!

Obviously they can do what they want with their own funds, but whining that their poor MPs will be in "financial difficulties" is an absolute joke when they've been so flippant about cutting hundreds of pounds a month from people who have to scrape together change for a loaf of bread. To be honest, if some of those MPs end up at a food bank I'd call that karma. Realistically, that's not going to happen though is it.

Glasgow satellite dairy farming village, hardly anyone from the village actually worked there. It had a primary school, a post office and I believe a Spar convenience store. I don't think any of them owned the Spar .

No no. These fine gentlemen liked to play bowls, drink too much Real Ale, and discuss how much they hated catholics.

[Toy Soldier]

Also, for the record, I left said prejudiced little bigotvillage when I was 18 and haven't looked back once; the country would be better off if it didn't exist. Nasty inbred little orange ****hole that it is.

No I say again, I saw these marches visiting the North visiting my Grandmothers friends there.
My Grandmother lived in the South.

TS I believe lives in Scotland, however I have also seen not only marches but problems from Orange order events in Glasgow.

His description of how they come across fit perfectly with mine.
They look ridiculous, like pathetic bigoted dinosaurs.

They could do a lot better totally changing the taunting and baiting attitude of said marches,especially from others following behind.

I see no point to them and the fact they want the flashpoint areas,closed to them for good reason by the way,opened again to them to march down,says all about their warped thinking and daft tradition.

History is all well and good and important to have for a Nation, constantly taunting and baiting as to it,here in the 21st century,marching around like human Toby jugs is at best outdated and frankly sickeningly pathetic.

It's attitudes like this from both sides of the divide that kept the Troubles going for so many years. I live here don't forget, and your vitriol is combative and unhelpful. Each side have their culture, their marches.
There has been contentious issues on both sides, but your unfortunate impressions are overblown. Most marches are perfectly peaceful, fun and festive occasions. Hordes of tourists wouldn't turn up to watch the marches if they were full of 'taunting and baiting'. You are referring to isolated incidents at particular sensitive times as if they happen frequently. They do not.
I agree with you about the Scottish bands that come over here to join the Orange parade - and there are many of them. I have never seen so many overweight, red faced men with massive beer - bellies in my life. Toby Jugs indeed.

You can twist things all you like jet.

I see these things as taunting and baiting exercises, which can only help re-ignite old divisions.
No matter your 'pretty' take on such events which may well be enjoyed in some places by both sides.

The fact remains,yes fact, that these marches have had to be banned down certain roads for good reasons.
If all went as you claim they do,there would be no need whatsoever for any bans to be put in place or stay in place.
They don't get banned for no reason and certainly not because they are enjoyable/peaceful as you try to make out.
However there are banned on some roads/areas,fact.

Now as to Mrs May and this thread, the DUP securing any govt of the UK with organised voting is abhorrent to me.
The DUP are a party at odds with their own Nation on many issues.
The mystery is for me why they get strong support there.

They are an extreme source and they are backed heavily by the sectarian orange order too.
There should be no place for them at all as to securing via deal any UK govt.
