Current Affairs 2017 General Election

[Armaghtoffee]

Personally i dont think parades, flags etc will come into any deal, and as someone from the unionist community i'm sickened and disgusted by the dup voting with the tories to sh - t on the emergency services

The DUP must appeal to a Loyalist vote though, the paramilitary recommendation did swell their vote last time out. A gesture may have been requested but we will find out.

If Tories have dipped their toe into parading then we are a powder keg. My concern is that the DUP are pressured to deliver something and Teresa has no concept of, or concern, of the potential consequences.

I voted 4 times for Labour in @peteblue 's name.

To be fair, I did one of those on your behalf because you were busy posing as a civic Tory councillor who actually gave a toss about the people who they are supposed to represent. How did you get on, by the way? Did anyone buy it?

Why he voted the way he did on Wednesday. Just want his reasoning, I'm not being hostile.

I thought it was going to be one million, not the usual Trotsky few.......the march was for the few not the many.......

The Tories refusal to remove pay cap of our brave emergency services really is the biggest own goal since, well their last one. They're averaging two own goals a week now aren't they? Paul Mcshane would be ashamed.

Gove is on the Marr show and attempting to 'justify' giving the north of Ireland £1 billion plus. You would think that this was their plan all along and they are upset it wasn't in the Tories 2017 election manifesto. I fully expect it to be in the next one - even more money for the north of Ireland - as it is such a good idea according to Gove. What a pillock. I smell another 'Cod war' on the way.

Re 'Cod War', it's not going to go down well.
Re Fishing rights; no doubt the Government will sell them quickly to a Corp to exploit rather than establish a sustainable fishing regime and ensure local areas get a say and boost in jobs/way-of-life.

Do you even understand what the vote on the queens speech was about ?.......
