with slight varieties in method, it's party members who select the party leaders.

I forgot to add creationism to the DUP's litany of delights.
Arlene Foster doesn't want a hard border with Ireland and Ruth Davidson wants to remain in the single market and have increased immigration to Scotland: these are not happy bedfellows for the anti EU members of the Tory party.
i know you all wrongly predicted the outcome of this election at the beginning of this thread but anyone up for a bet on how long Theresa May will be PM? 18months max?

The irony of NI being neglected by the Westminster Government and now being needed is delicious.
and what of the principal of English Votes for English Legislation now? Will DUP and Scottish Conservatives abstain?
Ian Paisley was an abnoxious character but quite lovely in private as I discovered. I have the joy of being related to some of the ermine clad DUP.

For our American friends, the DUP are the UK party closest to the American right: anti gay, anti abortion, climate change denying with close paramilitary connections. They're corrupt and hugely hypocritical.
I hope the Brexiteers feel proud as they survey this fucked up mess.

Most Popular Boys Name in England?
by cofty inanybody want to guess?
for some years the office for national statistics tried to hide the answer by counting different spellings as different names.
it no longer matters.

Islam has been trying to invade and take over Europe and the rest of the world for the last 1,400 years.
Not all Muslims are the enemy.
2% of baby boys born last year in England and Wales have one traditional Muslim name: are they all part of Simon's invasion? According to Cofty not all of them are the enemy, but how will we know which babies are a threat?

The National Registers of Scotland is party to the same conspiracy saying Muhammed was the 50th popular boys name in 2016 when, all forms combined including hyphenated, it was the 5th most popular name.
My own forename has 3 different spellings, all pronounced identically, and yet they have counted them the same way as Muhammed/Mohammed.
Shocked I tell you, shocked.

by pale.emperor inhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=go3arnnsfkk&feature=youtu.be.
no mention whatsoever that it was watchtower themselves that strongly hinted towards this date.
instead they blame those who "put their trust in a date, not jehovah".. let's recap... .

Why on earth would they voluntarily bring up that topic?
Prepping their audience for another disappointment? He was "dedicated to Jehovah, not a date". What other dates might they rethinking?
