I put this up as the DUP and the Tories go into an alliance together. The UDA were known to have been canvassing for the DUP in the recent Westminster elections. Adair was a long-standing member of that notorious paramilitary group stocked with sectarian killers. He was not kicked out because of his neo-Nazi connections and affiliations. Neo-Nazis have long had ties to Unionist paramilitaries.

A Tory minster has complained in parliament recently about swastikas being carved into Conservative elections posters. When I heard that I thought of the old maxim, Show me your company and I’ll tell you who you are.
