That rich from the supporter of a Government that is propped up by loyalist murderers.

[ToraToraTora]

oops, forgot your sympathising tendencies gromit. Back anyone but your own side eh?

[youngmafbog]

In politics there are often strange bed-fellows you have not through choice as you well know Gromit. The Liberals and the Tories really didnt like each other either but they got by 'for the good of the country'

However COB CHOOSES to court these people.

Yes, did you read my post?

[Gromit]

I do not consider the DUP to be my own side. Their links to terrorism are well known, and I would certainly distance myself from them.
There is a vast difference between a Prime Minister jumping into bed with the DUP to save her own skin, and Corbyn’s belief in a unified Ireland.

"There is a vast difference between a Prime Minister jumping into bed with the DUP to save her own skin, and Corbyn’s belief in a unified Ireland."

Yup, that is what I am saying. One had a choice the other really didnt.

"In politics there are often strange bed-fellows you have not through choice."
So, Youngmafbog, did the Maybot not actually choose to be part of an alliance with the DUP? So, who forced her?
I do realise that she's totally powerless to do anything WITHIN her feuding party, but you surprise me when you tell me she is equally so regarding matters WITHOUT it as well!

[Gromit]

Ymb,
you are saying Theresa May didn’t have a choice about making an arrangement loyalists with links to terrorism?

She most certainly did have a choice, which is why many condemn her for it.

[jno]

May did indeed have a choice: save her own skin by hooking up with terrorists, or not.

"We have no choise but to strike" used to be the mantra of trade union barons. It was nonsense: there was always a choice, and they made it. So has May.

Corbyn is a disgrace to Britain in supporting the IRA. Any idiot voting for him has blood on their hands.

[Gromit]

Corbyn supports unification, but his trip is designed to revive the Belfast Agreement and get back to the Northern Ireland people governing themselves through power sharing at Stormont.

Now the DUP hold the British Government to ransom, they are not interested in sharing power with Republicans. They can pull the strings, and May dances to their tune.

It could have a messy ending.

[Gromit]

Hazi,
Likewise, those supporting loyalist paramilitaries have blood on their hands. Should a Prime Minister be shaking that hand?

So that's what he's up to then.

// Mr Corbyn will use his first visit to Northern Ireland as Labour leader on Thursday to call on the UK government to reconvene the British-Irish Intergovernmental Conference (BIIGC), if Northern Ireland's parties can't reach an agreement themselves.

There has been no devolved administration in Northern Ireland since the Stormont government collapsed in January 2017.

Making a visit to Belfast in the week that marks 20 years since the referendums that endorsed the 1998 Good Friday Agreement, Mr Corbyn will say the "spirit" of the historic peace deal is needed to revive power-sharing at Stormont.

The Labour leader is expected to say: "Devolution and power-sharing have given every community a voice and helped maintain the peace process.

"If the current stalemate in Stormont cannot be sorted out in Belfast, I call on the UK government to reconvene the British-Irish Intergovernmental Conference.

"We must step up to find a creative solution, in the spirit of the Good Friday Agreement, that avoids a return to direct Westminster rule and lays the ground for further progress for all communities." //

Not sure why anyone would want him to fail.

the nationalists should go south, they have one agenda pie in the sky.
but we know they all have to get on and compromise, nationalists want unification..why not put it to a vote, nationalists would lose, but they do try, i dont think they would respect a vote outcome, and say well fair enough, not very democratic are they.

[ichkeria]

A bit unfair on the DUP gromit, to say the least, to say that they have ‘links to terrorism’ however one night find some of their ideas bizarre.
And I’ve no time for Corbyn, but the constant harping on about his undoubted links to republican terrorists is also a bit tedious. Just because Corbyn is stuck in a political time warp doesn’t mean we all have to follow suit. It’s a very long time since the Rev Ian marched his Third Force up Buckna :-)

[Gromit]

fender62,

If you asked all of Ireland in a Referendum on unification, you would probably get the same result as the 1918 Irish Election.
Sein Fein won 73 seats, the loyalists got 22 seats. Not sure what the point of that would be though.

[Gromit]

The ubiquitous photo of Gerry Adams and Corbyn at Westminster was taken in 1984. At the time Adams was an elected member of the UK Parliament and was entitled to take his seat in the Commons. He had every right to be there, and Corbyn had every right to invite him.

Starting in the 1980s, the SDLP and SF had been in dialogue to try and resolve the conflict, which resulted in a join statement in 1994. It was revealed that the British Government was also in contact with SF but they denied it.

Not too long after that, the British Prime Minister John Major was meeting and making agreements with Adams. And praise to both of them (and Paisley, Trimble and Blair) for bringing peace to NI.
