I see the "terrorist sympathiser" argument seems to have significantly lessened now the Tories are set to go into coalition with DUP. Oh the unbelievable irony. Only this is a relationship during 'peace' 20 years after the peace process whereas Corbyn's was whilst bombs and arms were being handed out and prepared in IRA houses for murder the next day.

Definitely the socialists but Corbyn has the skills to bring people together who do not share his views. Good PM material. He has a long wait then!
Supported Palace for over 69 years since the age of 7 and have seen all the ups and downs and will probably see many more ups and downs before I go up to the big football club in the sky. |

From the days when they would march up cave hill waving gun licences to more recently soliciting electoral support from sectarian killers, they have always been involved in the dark world of loyalist paramilitaries

Plenty of members of the DUP in the day had associations with groups like the UDA, UVF etc. who were involved in terrorist activities that supported the DUP agenda. Ian Paisley was involved with the formation of several 'milita' in Northern Ireland. Just because they were aimed against the IRA, doesn't mean they weren't a terrorist group. Interesting that forming a coalition with a Nationalist party is ok with Conservatives, given how much fuss they made of the possibility of a SNP and Labour alliance.

Lets not mince words, there are plenty among the loyalist and unionist factions that had as much contact with terrorism as Sinn Fein in the 80s, and groups like the UVF etc took their direction and inspiration from people within the DUP - Esp Ian Paisley. We're just a lot less honest about it.

The result is very bad for Britain. A lot of naive students and self interested minorities have tried to hijack our negotiating power. Or as I see it, exercised their legal democratic right to express their views, opinions and beliefs, irrespective of attempts to curtail them by fear mongering, threats and doomsaying. It doesn't matter what our negotiating power is if we're negotiating in a manner that doesn't reflect the will of the people.

No they can't claim a victory and they were along way from grabbing the keys to number 10 but they didn't lose seats and sink further into oblivion. They must be feeling very energised by what has happened. Quite. Its not the victory, but its a big win for them in terms of legitimacy. For Corbyn its massive as it does show public support.

The Labour MPs are still not united over him though. Only as handful endorsed him Yeah but their position now is f**ked, he returned an impressive result that completely disarms their reasons for wanting rid of him: that is public support. The people who lost the most from this election are the Parliamentary Labour Party - those MPs are now in a f**ked position, as their constituents returned a very positive support for Corbyn, and they are themselves there to represent their constituents. Their position has just been pushed over the table and firmly taken from behind.
