Pity you didn't take that attitude when you empowered the Cameron's blue Tories the last time. An act that has led to the debacle that is Brexit.

Look not a single person in our local party at the time thought it was a good idea even back in 2010 several members left on principle. I didn't want it but we reluctantly were convinced a bit by the save the country mantra and started to regret it bit by bit.

I'm SORRY ok. We tried to bring a bit of sanity to British politics.

Now are you labour hacks going to be sorry for your actions in the past - shall we start with the IRAQ FUCKING WAR.

I'm not a 'Labour hack' thanks and if I had my way Blair and his cohorts would be serving time as war criminals. You might be sorry but your leader seems to think history will judge Clegg kindly! Jeez.

Just saying put the past behind us. If you rant on about our shameful past ill mention yours.

To begin with. Then they'll graciously agree to compromise, one item at a time, in exchange for a big chunk of money. Chunka chunka chunka! And the tories will agree as soon as they can figure out a way to hand it over whilst maintaining plausible deniability about buying them off.

At last, Belfast will get the new Space Port which it has long deserved. And the Shankhill Genome Centre will be the envy of Europe with its well-funded, inaugural research program into new colours of chlorophyll.

I hear the Queen's speech will now only take place after the installation of a burning effigy of the Pope outside Belfast City Hall.

If the Lib-Dems were stupid enough to do that again, all we'd get is another five years of relatively stable Tory government rather than one that is ready to topple. Any concessions they might get, like last time, would likely be irrelevant next to the harm it would cause. I doubt the Tories would be "rethinking austerity" if they knew they were going to remain in power.

My anonymous source inside Number 10 informs me that my previous information was incorrect. It turns out that the DUP wanted the actual Pope setting on fire rather than just an effigy.
