I dont read it like that.

Unless the DUP spend the cash in only certain areas, y'know.

And if that happens, then holy cow, what an utter balls up that will prove to be.

SF have already highlighted it goes against the agreement by taking sides. But it's the perception amongst the splinter groups and any crowing or goading by loyalist factions, similar to UKIP and EDL behaviour post brexit.

Quite. Its a dangerous game.

Hopefully, it (the govt) wont last long enough to even get into a position where a perceived side is taken.

And if they do, (last long enough), they dont take a said position.
 
I'm not sure what you mean by 'handle'. It's a legal issue that needs resolving that should be beyond the jurisdiction of politicians.
May has to sweep it under the carpet for this deal to work.

Sorry lads, I have no idea about any of that.

But to this observer, it seems a grubby deal, that if not handled well, has the potential to be a problem. Which I think you both allude to.

I mean how May balances this deal in the context of NI politics mate.
 
I was listening to a radio phone-in earlier and they had an utter bozo of a caller on:


Caller: "I can't believe the Tories are sending a billion quid to a foreign country, d'you know what I mean? This DUP thing is out of order. They can find the magic money tree for May's foreign mates, but they can't find it for our schools and that."

Host: "Northern Ireland is part of the UK."

Caller: "Oh right, yeah. It's not like they need the cash, though. Haven't they got oil up there?"

Host: "I think your're confusing Northern Ireland with Scotland."
