The DUP who the Tories are in discussion with are an interesting bunch.
Up to 2016 their leader was Peter Robinson who founded a paramilitary group called Ulster Resistance.
The party is supported by other loyalist paramilitaries such as the UVF, UDA and Red Hand Commandos.
They are anti-immigration, 40% of their members believe creationism should be taught in schools, they are broadly homophobic.

Just read this...
"The Conservatives will have problems governing in Parliament if they are reliant on Scottish MPs, thanks to its own EVEL policy."
What a beautiful irony.

'Mistake' to form government with DUP
Jonathan Powell told Martha Kearney that the peace process in Northern Ireland is "based on a balance that the British government has made it clear that it's neutral", but that "once you have DUP support you're no longer neutral".
- I wondered at that when I first read about the coalition earlier. A red rag to wave in front of all the southern Sinn Fein-voting counties. What a mess.detritus
- The wee progress indicator nub doesn't move when you're on a different tab. How odd.detritus
- desperate. epic fail. she will be gone soon.fadein11
