Oh that's alright then - if it's only chicken feed then well worth spending such a small amountit's a pity local councils couldn't have spent a similar paltry sum on fireproof cladding and sprinklers !

Now you're just changing the subject entirely. At least stick to the topic of conversation.
So would £1b make a jot of difference to an NHS budget of north of £130b - I very much doubt it.
Sure you can divide it up by numbers of hospitals or doctors salaries, but that's equally meaningless
A Greek bailout is €86b, so cheap by that standard
Voting 'Leave' will cost at least £50b, more likely £100b, so who cares about the odd rounding digits...

This is hyped-up spin, half that money isn't new money, it was already pledged for expenditure by the provincial government, not by, or exclusively for the DUP or their supporters.
....... and quite frankly some parts of the province could do with a few quid spent on it.

Guilty as charged though in my defence my point is that £1bn is not an insignificant sum and the reference to cladding is an example of how taxpayers money should be spent and not as a means to save a political party who are on the ropes and who would make a pact with the devil to stay in power ( which ironically is what they are doing )
No that would be making a pack with JC.gov said:ben g said:gov said:Oh that's alright then - if it's only chicken feed then well worth spending such a small amount

Apparently labour were talking to the dup during the last two elections re propping rhem up in a minority situation, a bit rich now to condemn the tories for doing it now, plus they still had 50 odd more seats than anybody else. ,.. I do think their campaign was absolutely shocking tho, so they can only blame themselves for the result .
Can't stand either labour or conservative personally, neither of them represent me of my beliefs.
However, I thought labour were complaining about austerity? Surely giving NI £1.5bn is anti-austerity?
As for today's "tories out" march, where they are trying to force the tories out of power, do labour supporters actually want to live in an undemocraitic country? There was a vote a few weeks ago and labour lost (just). A loss is loss, however. Labour had their chance and blew it.
