This is Belfast, aye:
1986 - huge sign erected with "Belfast says no"
2013 - major protest because union fleg not flown 365 days per year
2025 - loyalists raging because council ignore the wishes of a minority

Have I got that right?

One of the ones raising the legal case against it was away on holidays.

Jamie Wamie involved in the last two. Some asset to society. Told the media how it would not happen. Good work again Jamie.

Jamie must get feck all  done.  Constantly running around  looking for things to complain about.

His lawn must be   6 foot high and the dishes piled high in  the sink.

He needs  a hobby or a sport to play. Maybe he  could join East Belfast GAA and  make use of  that hurl of his?

They've all seem to have forgot the economic trade border separating them from the motherland

I think it's all underfunded by the Brits regardless. Historically and now.

The NHS is clearly broke. It's a mess and I woukdn't know where even to start to fix it. How would you even start restructure it?

Education is a mess. Schools having to close because of leaks in the roof. Other schools have mould and damp etc. in classrooms. Mobiles falling apart. Again, how and where do you start to fix that?

Housing is a big issue. Not many houses being built nowadays. House prices are crazy now. Where does that end? Another recession?

Public servants e.g. teachersand nurses etc. all looking for more pay. Where does that stop?

Prices of everything going up....from food to car insurance. When's that going to stop?

I'd stick a £20 fee on going to see a doctor. That would help to cut down on the number of 'no shows'. Trying to get an appointment these days is crazy. People decide to just go to AE and at least, after a huge wait, they'll be seen there.

When you think of the billions that has been sent to support Israel in their genocide campaign in the middle east etc., that could have been better spent on the NHS.

Would people on here be happy to pay water charges for example? Or would here be uproar?

We can't have it every way.

The GFA structure of a permanent government is a problem. The DUP need time in opposition. They are hopeless.

Can't see the metrics around any of these improving in the foreseeable future, dread to think where we will be 5  - 10 years from now.

I pay 15 quid a month for dental practice, best money every spent, get two checkups a year and an appointment when I need, that day at times no more than a few days wait. 20 quid to see a doctor you might get to see one.

The Sinners are out of their depth also, career politicals looking photo opportunities and achieving f**k all.

Jamie must get feck all  done.  Constantly running around  looking for things to complain about.

His lawn must be   6 foot high and the dishes piled high in  the sink.

He needs  a hobby or a sport to play. Maybe he  could join East Belfast GAA and  make use of  that hurl of his?

Who is this guy? Or more importantly, how does he consistently get access to the courts immediately despite not being a lawyer? And he keeps losing/wasting the courts time too...

"Covid-era schemes designed to stimulate the economy cost the taxpayer £10.9bn in fraud, the Sunday Mirror reports, ahead of the publication of a report on Tuesday".

There you go, yet another complete & utter f**k up; there's not a hope in hell of recovering any of that. It's no wonder there's a so-called economic black hole, when any spiv or shyster can get a bucket load of money for free & no meaningful checks were made, or reasonable questions asked, at the time.

He was up before me on a couple of back to back Industrial Tribunals, both of which went against his clients. One of his clients had £10,000 in costs awarded against him although, to be fair, Jamie had stopped representing him, by the time that we arrived at that stage.

Chaos as normal.
