Yes.

To be honest, no one in NI notices what goes on in Stormont any more. To the point which makes me wonder if NI would be a good place to start a European Free State Project.

We have outrageously low turn-outs at the polling station. And for good reason - the politicians are very corrupt on all sides. 

This latest 'crisis' is just a facade for deal-making to go on, to suit all involved.

There'll be a few cheques written, as always, then it's back to the business of fraud, corruption, coercion and theft.

Politics in NI is really, really tired. It needs binned.

And as for terrorism? Nah, we won't see much of a return to those dark, old days. There's too much cash to be made in politics.  

Ah... what did I tell you. Cheque books at the ready... and someone's looking a sneaky wee bail-out! 

'There are indications that the DUP is pushing for compensation for savers in the troubled Presbyterian Mutual Society as part of a devolution deal.

The plight of almost 10,000 people who had money in the society when it went into administration are believed to be on the last-minute talks agenda.

DUP MLA Edwin Poots refused to confirm or deny the suggestion.

Last month the Presbyterian moderator said such a government initiative would help build confidence among unionists....'

Cheeky!

Thank god Obama has put his stamp of approval on NI's latest so-called 'peace deal.'

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/northern_ireland/8499992.stm

I mean, if the current Nobel prize holder thinks this is a day of peace, it must be... right? 

Bollocks to the spin, I say. Yet another demonstration of how politicans try to make themselves relevant, when the world around them sees them as terminally irrelevant.  

Other then any pipedream anarchy fantasy you might have Wayne, what would you prefer of the two options there were, direct rule from Westminster or a devolved or a devolved assembly at Stormont? I know I’d prefer a devolved assembly as it’s a step in the right direction; the less the regions are tethered to central government at Westminster the better, so I’m glad a deal was sorted.

It would stick in my throat to say I'm glad.

The 'deal' is going to benefit the 'deal makers' more than any citizen in NI. I'm less than convinced by any deluded sense of nobility or progression that an English bloke, such as yourself, might read into this, Ziggy. If you lived here, you might smell the same flavour of bullshit that I smell and pretty much all of Northern Ireland smells...

I’m pragmatic & that’s partly due to being born & growing up in a country which was divided by unjust laws.

Firstly as somebody who is physically disabled wedding planner I find it somewhat patronising that folk on the left of the spectrum don't think disabled people have enough talent & imitative to get a job without state aid or that in the free bridal lingerie market they'd not be market alternatives, correct me if I'm wrong but aren't there already employment & recruiting agencies in the private sector?Secondly if a disabled person has special wedding accessories requirements such as special equipment then charities could adequately provide specialist equipment, as they already do, yeah it might come as a bit of a surprise that many who need electric chairs don't get them from the state but from private charities. If in a market anarchist wedding cake toppers society there are disabled people are going without the requirements they need then you & other like minded folk would be free to have a whip around to raise funds to provide disabled folk with whatever they need.
