That’s …
Worrying …
Right now?
Right now, Prime Minister, Theresa May, is organising her minority government.
And, behind the scenes? Arranging the details of how her party will work with the Democratic Unionists, in Northern Ireland.
I get the impression that’s going to cause issues.
Apparently? Ruth Davidson, the leader of the Scottish Conservatives, has admitted to reservations.
As Ian Paisley’s old party? Are known to be socially conservative: and opposed to gay marriage, and abortion.
Ms Davidson? Is known to be planning to marry her female partner in the not too distant future.
Personally?
I’m deeply concerned. From the little I know, the DUP are extremely socially conservative: and have had at least one MP endorsed by loyalist paramilitaries.
I was a child in the 1970s: and remember hearing the phrase “a ceasefire has failed,” too many times.
I’m worried this will set up a nasty situation reminiscent of the Troubles.
Here’s hoping … !
