£1b DUP Deal
No surprise here then - £1bn deal agreed by a Govnt desperate to hang on at any cost - Buying 10 votes at a cost of £1bn paid by British taxpayers to NI when our own NHS is at breaking point - still at least TM will stay in power ( sort of ) for a few more months

UK politics are a joke. The whole country is being laughed at! Even trump can't top it.

You really think £1 billion is a lot of money, in the grand scheme of things?
The NHS needs many many billions throwing at it. £1 billion just about covers the canapés in the house of commons during their lunch hour.

Oh that's alright then - if it's only chicken feed then well worth spending such a small amount it's a pity local councils couldn't have spent a similar paltry sum on fireproof cladding and sprinklers !

They spent the money for sure....but on what. And the DUP sum is already 1.5 bn

Now you're just changing the subject entirely. At least stick to the topic of conversation.

So would £1b make a jot of difference to an NHS budget of north of £130b - I very much doubt it.
Sure you can divide it up by numbers of hospitals or doctors salaries, but that's equally meaningless
A Greek bailout is €86b, so cheap by that standard
Voting 'Leave' will cost at least £50b, more likely £100b, so who cares about the odd rounding digits...

This is hyped-up spin, half that money isn't new money, it was already pledged for expenditure by the provincial government, not by, or exclusively for the DUP or their supporters.
....... and quite frankly some parts of the province could do with a few quid spent on it.

Guilty as charged though in my defence my point is that £1bn is not an insignificant sum and the reference to cladding is an example of how taxpayers money should be spent and not as a means to save a political party who are on the ropes and who would make a pact with the devil to stay in power ( which ironically is what they are doing )ben g wrote: ↑Mon Jun 26, 2017 6:29 pmNow you're just changing the subject entirely.

Presumably you are referring about Jeremy Corbyn being an IRA sympathizer, yet here are the conservatives doing a deal with the DUP that was born from a Protestant para military group .buzyg wrote: ↑Mon Jun 26, 2017 9:04 pmNo that would be making a pack with JC.gov wrote: ↑Mon Jun 26, 2017 7:28 pmGuilty as charged though in my defence my point is that £1bn is not an insignificant sum and the reference to cladding is an example of how taxpayers money should be spent and not as a means to save a political party who are on the ropes and who would make a pact with the devil to stay in power ( which ironically is what they are doing )

Apparently labour were talking to the dup during the last two elections re propping rhem up in a minority situation, a bit rich now to condemn the tories for doing it now, plus they still had 50 odd more seats than anybody else. ,.. I do think their campaign was absolutely shocking tho, so they can only blame themselves for the result .
