Spying on an elected MP in order to protect democracy. Seems pretty fuckin' legit.

After Brexit Britain slipped in soft power ... from first to second place in the only metric that calculates it. Keep spending the cash - it's an irrelevant amount anyway.
And if we have to choose between an aristocratic ruling class and a self-elected nouveau riche ruling class then I prefer the former.

This is a really strange song. The kind of Unionist war anthem you would hear at an 80s themed Californian cocktail lounge.

It's the start of a week when Britain will decide its future. By Friday you’ll either have Ed Miliband, or me as your Prime Minister. It's that simple - an inescapable choice: me leading a strong and stable Government, or with him: the chaos of being held to ransom by the SNP. Your vote can and will make a difference. It's that close.
The risks are real and present. If Labour wins with the SNP’s help, Britain and its economic recovery will grind to a halt. The SNP will hold the Government to ransom every time there is a vote in the House of Commons - demanding more borrowing and higher taxes to pay for more welfare.
The alternative is to vote Conservative on Thursday to ensure George Osborne is back in the Treasury and I am back in No10 on Friday. We'll continue the long-term economic plan - ensuring stable Government, a strong economy and a brighter future for you and your family. And at the centre of our plan is tax cuts for 30 million hardworking people - they are part of our balanced plan to ensure we stay on the road to a better future for everyone.

Most Unionists songs are either this or a bit folky. Honestly, the most 'offensive' one I've heard is the song Hijack the Popemobile with maybe one or two other specifically anti-Papal songs.
Now, Northern Ireland's history is already so gruesome (and awesome at the same time) that they don't need to make extremely violent hard-rock songs.

This might be why Unionism is so uncool.

He is, in fact, a psychic of some not inconsiderable skill!!
