If we end up going down the Norwegian road then we might as well stay where we are within the EU as going down the route that the Norwegians have will probably cost us more then it does now

There is another road the Tories can go down do a deal with the DUP get the queens speech over with the Tories then oust Mrs may in around six months or so elect another Tory leader call another general election phew then here we go again

Don't know much about the DUP but they are the only party that are against the prosecution of former soldiers during the troubles in Northern Ireland2. Immunity for British soldiers in legacy cases

This relates to the retrospective prosecution of soldiers for alleged crimes committed during the Troubles between 1969 and 2005. The Conservatives are politically – and emotionally – committed to ending prosecutions and delivering immunity for former British troops.
The Tories’ traditional support for the armed forces means that there will be pressure to drop certain high profile cases. These include as many as 18 former soldiers under investigation for the massacre of 14 civilians on Bloody Sunday in 1972, and 75-year old Dennis Hutchings, who appeared in an Armagh court last March for the fatal shooting of a man with learning difficulties in Benburb, County Tyrone, in 1974. Barra McGrory, the outgoing director of public prosecutions, has hinted at other potential actions against British soldiers – cases that could be put into cold storage.
Several cases are ongoing and pending. They are viewed by British veterans and unionists as disproportionately targeting British security forces as opposed to Irish Republicans. This issue has so far been largely ignored by most commentators.
