The worrying thing is that the government seem genuinely surprised by the DUP objection.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
They were DUPed
Natalie is a big smelly person, but thats okay because she only needs to have a bath and then she’d be okay again.
(the first time being when it turned out the DUP wanted a £billion to support them in the first place. May told the queen she already had support)

It's just emblematic of the whole Brexit nonsense - internal issues directed at foreign 'foes'. Just a joke all round. To think I thought we'd have a rare day of good news for Brexit (or as good as it gets).
What a joy it would be if they could be fecked off to some place else, to be governed by Farage, Johnson, Gove and the rest of the lying shitstains on British politics.
The whole country is headed for soft Brexit.
The Farages and co simply have to accept it.
Which begs the question...why the feck are we leaving in the first place?

Because Cameron sought to shut up the Eurosceptics in his party up for good not thinking for a second that leave would win.
...tbf also a whole load more (UKIP had like 4m votes and growing at some point didn’t they, etc etc).
Blair is apparently working on reversing the process. I still don't think it'll go ahead.
He ain't that good.
If that fecking cnut had anything approaching self-awareness, he'd have come out and said Brexit was a great idea from the very start.
It's the sensible compromise (following the will of the people without crippling the nation) that leaves noone with what they want.
Everyone who wants to be in the single market/customs union etc would rather remain in the EU. The hardcore leavers won't accept any of the compromises that come with access to free trading. Freedom of movement, EU regulation and jurisdiction of EU courts- basically its like being a member without having a seat at the table.
Swapping a slightly stroppy marriage for a messy divorce that involves paying to get fecked up the arse by the EU while having to wear a gimp mask. Negotiations continue over what the safe word should be.

well put
That's what she said.
Do you know when you know something is going to be a real cluster feck, but then you're still surprised by how much of a clusterfeck it actually is when it happens?
This whole episode has been like watching my missus trying to cook when she's pissed, or watching Arsenal trying to defend a counter attack. Just spectacularly shit in every possible way.
Someone mentioned earlier that there had been lies told by both sides during the referendum campaign. Seeing how it's all come to pass, what do brexiters still think were lies and how much of it has proved to be bang on?

Goes to show the state of NI politics when a party who received 28 percent of votes in the last election can torpedo a deal that the rest of the UK are begging for.
They lost the majority in Stormont 9 months ago, they have 1 more seat that Sinn Fein.
1,000 votes split the main parties from the 800,000 ballots cast in the closest ever assembly election
Its beyond ridiculous

Even forgetting the rest of the UK, it's a deal NI itself is begging for. Something like 70%+ of them actually want to stay in the customs union, with the majority being against Brexit in it's entirety.
The whole thing is such a shitshow.
I still hold hope that all this shitshow is May trying to sabotage Brexit. She doesn't want it, plenty of her party don't want it. Just take the sword, collapse your goverment and let us have another vote.
You could ship them off to an island off the coast of Alaska.
Their masters on one side, like-minded Trump on the other, maintain their island mentality and isolationism.
Far away from Europe and no foreigner would ever want to go there.
Appoint Farage as Head of State and as he yearned to be honoured he could be bestowed with the 'Order of the Simpleton's Grin'.
This new paradise could be known as FREE , the Fascist Republic of Ethnocentric Englanders.
Principle exports: Bile and hatred.
yes... But at least its not those nasty un-elected eurocrats
Or some other xenaphobic mumbo jumbo
This is poignant.
He's certainly a man who knows about campaigns of misinformation and lies, given his dodgy dossier.
90% of inward immigration goes to England which is the most densely populated country in Europe (except the island of Malta) and more densely populated than India. If the Tories do not deliver then the party will be hammered creating a big vacuum on the patriotic right.
One saving grace is that they are literally dying off every day.
Why does it matter if we're the most dense comparatively? Such a pointless soundbite
I would hazard a guess that some of the most densely populated areas voted Remain (like London) whilst some of the least debsely populated vote Leave.
Do you want your children or grandchildren only able to afford to be able to live in a tower block?
With higher density tends to lead to more corruption to escape that area, also more crime, more pollution, more travelling time.
Add to that by having this unbalanced economy in Europe with the finance industry it has led to the concentration of jobs in the London area to the detriment of other regions.
Not that simple, nearly all England (and Wales) voted Leave with some exceptions in the big metropolitan areas largely those with high levels of immigration and also those that are very wealthy.

So according to Davis "allignment" is totally different to "harmonisation", even though the end result has to be the same? Meanwhile the Irish government says they are in fact exactly the same as far as they're concerened.
It's turned into a debate on semantics. I suspect Davis thinks that if they word it slightly differently the DUP will get confused and cave in.
@The Outsider
Singapore is by far the most densely populated country in the world
Don't listen to the terrified Europeans. The Singapore model is our Brexit opportunity

@Nick 0208 Ldn do you think this "regulatory alignment" for the UK is a betrayal of the vote?
Well thats a certainty at least.
