So Theresa May has come to a quite desperate arrangement with the DUP to prop up her minority government. There are understandable concerns because this move is seen to favour the Protestant majority in Northern Ireland over the Catholic minority in what is still a very fragile patina of peace. Growing up in the 70s, Northern Ireland loomed large in my life. Especially as I brought up a Catholic in what was then a very Irish part of London. My former classmates and Catholic congregants will not be best pleased by this deal with the DUP. It suddenly makes the name of this band so appropriate and the track even more so. Because it looks like the British government may have to to take its manifesto, rip it up and start again.
The deal with the DUP.
