Hahaha, just as well the plaster Dippy has already gone. Hang on, did NHM have insider knowledge? Maybe the blue whale will come complete with a symbolic Jonah. I'm guessing the Darwin statue might be another cause for concern.

They seem nice though, the DUP. To be fair we were warned by the press that we could have a government backed by terrorist sympathisers and that religious extremism was a threat to our democracy.

One thing we've lost is "the belief difference". The Jihadi belief about a terrorist act getting you straight to paradise with loads of virgins could be derided and sharply contrasted with our own "rationality". But now, with a Government existing entirely thanks to a party containing a proportion of crackpots who believe the earth is "young", the contrast has completely shrunk.

Are we to tell them our outrageous fairy story is superior to theirs?
