Unless they swear allegiance to the queen,they can't can they. Never realised that was necessary but it appears even if you don't want to swear an oath, and pledge affirmation, then you still must pledge loyalty and allegiance to the Queen (her ancestors and successors). Of course there are people in Parliament who are republicans (not the Irish type), so I guess the degree to which people take it seriously is questionable. But you can bet there are a load of Republican Headbangers who'd take that s**t very seriously.

Its only politics after all.

Terrorist sympathisers is the term I believe that's been bandied around about Corbyn in recent weeks. Which the DUP most certainly are. I'm not sure the relationship May will have with the DUP in 2017 is comparable to the one Corbyn had historically with the IRA.

how come 90% of Corbyn supporters are the most beta male, white knight, cucks/hippy type? I didn't realise there where so many betas in this country.

It's quite funny today seeing those on here who hate foreigners, hate the younger generations and flatly hate the EU while squirming trying making lame excuses to cover what has been a disaster for them over the last 24 hours. Everyone else is wrong of course, everyone in the EU even though they are made up of 27 seperate countries. If they had their way the UK would be a huge retirement home 'competing' with the rest of the world. Laughable, very laughable. The way they are insulting younger voters is both disgusting and insulting. The younger generations are the future of the UK and they want to stay withinthe EU and voted so yesterday. They voted for the "Free Lunch" Corbyn offered such as free tuition and cheap housing and that's the main reason they actually got out of bed to vote. They did not look at the bigger picture I am afraid and will probably suffer more than they did before as they have weakened the government and made Brexit that little bit harder. Corbyn did a great job in brainwashing the youngsters and he needs a pat on the back for that BUT the damage he has done is much greater than you think even though it did not unseat Theresa May in her job.
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. |

Anything to stay in power even the problems in Northern Ireland with all their history. ANYTHING to stop Corbyn getting into power you mean.

Paisley didn't kill, or order to be killed, anyone. Adams and McGuiness did. Edited by hedgehog50 (09 Jun 2017 2.03pm) Fine lines of plausible deniability - He certainly massively encourage Loyalist violence and murder. Its unknown whether or not Adams ordered anyone killed (I suspect it is the case). Of course Paisley did forge a great friendship with McGuiness.

Really? Nearly everyone I have spoken to who is British citizen and voted to 'leave' have said they would vote to remain in a 2nd referendum. Many said that as the story has unfolded they have realised what a disaster it would be for the UK and that they voted originally very naively and based on no real fact. Now the facts are coming out, many don't like the risk to their future or the future of their families, particularly their children. With regards to the EU acting like petulant children, all you're seeing is what the British press make up for their stories. the 'EU' is made up of 27 sovereign states and your viewpoint is typical - never understanding that there are 27 nations in these negotiations, not only the UK and one other. Now of course there has been a new raft of young people who can vote and as each month goes by, more will qualify age wise. A second EU referendum is now highly likey no matter what the British press will tell you and by then, even more young people will be voting. The whole idea of 'leaving' the EU was and still is a fad but it is a crumbling fad with the last 24 hours simply enforcing that fact. Edited by europalace (09 Jun 2017 2.18pm) What all three of them??
