Today is the deadline for the start of the devolution process in Northern Ireland. Now, for those of you who have no idea what Devolution means, basically it means that the Government of Northern Ireland would pass from the British Direct Rule system based in London to an Elected Government based in Northern Ireland. So in the end we would finally be able to have a say in our country and all the matters that affect our daily lives like Water Rates, Benefits, Education, Health, Paramilitary Issues and so on.
Of course we have had partially devolved government in NI before but it has lasted for only a minimum of time before the so-called politicians have ticked each other off and refused to be in the same room, therefore Direct Rule had to be reinstated again.
For many people in NI we are sick and tired of the circles that the politicians are taking us in and the farce that is convicted murderers and self confessed IRA members being voted into power. It is not all one sided and that was clear today as convicted murderer Michael Stone burst into the government buildings in Stormont with a gun, knife and incendiary device (turned out to be 8 bombs) and shouted "No Surrender". How the hell did he get through the door? Luckily he was apprehended and the place was evacuated.
Of course it seems as talks of Northern Ireland's future has been put on hold again! Surprise surprise. Not that they were getting anywhere anyway with Dr. Paisley making a farce of the situation.
Well, enough of my rant. If you are interested you can check out the link below. Will we have have devolved Government? Not until people get some education and stop listening to propaganda!!!!
