Re: Tories and DUP agree UK government deal - they get £1bn

Not only do the taxpayers pay indirectly for Tory funding, we now have to pay £1 billion to keep the abject bunch of shysters in power.
The sole Tory interest is the Tory party and the need to keep them in power at whatever cost is necessary - tax cuts for their chums, brexit, rekindling sectarian violence in Ulster, where will it end?

IOM is very nice having it's own government means it has kept some unique quirks.

So the money tree doe's exist despite what the Tories told us to the contrary.

Re: Tories and DUP agree UK government deal - they get £1bn

Since when has bribery and corruption been honest.

I always understood it was immoral, then I'm not a Tory who seem to have different standards.

Re: Tories and DUP agree UK government deal - they get £1bn

Hi

I will repeat, everyone does it.

Grants are given, regional funding allocated, all to buy votes in a particular area.

Re: Tories and DUP agree UK government deal - they get £1bn

All Corbyn is doing at the moment is buying votes which will come out of taxpayers money, there's no moral high ground here for any of the parties but that doesn't make it OK.

Re: Tories and DUP agree UK government deal - they get £1bn

Actually, knowing just how fair this country is to all of us, that is excellent news.

In proportion to head of population, that would mean that
if Northern Ireland receives £1Bn,
Wales will receive £1.7Bn,
Scotland will receive £3Bn,
and England will receive a whopping £30Bn!

Now who could complain about that?

Re: Tories and DUP agree UK government deal - they get £1bn

Its absolutely disgusting. T May said there's no money tree but suddenly there's a billion pounds found at the back of a drawer or something to give to the DUP. It said on the news that Scotland and Wales will not benefit from this give away from the government so basically its a bribe but in effect the conservatives did not win the election, the DUP did.

Re: Tories and DUP agree UK government deal - they get £1bn

It's still immoral.

The last thing you'd expect from a clergyman's daughter.
