Dormant Stormont - A Template for Gov?

The Northern Ireland office has been closed for what is it now 18 months -and no one's noticed any difference! The scandal of the scoundrels still drawing a salary while sitting idle to one side for a moment, could this be a model for English parliament?

It started with corruption surrounding a Green policy which greenery invariably is a scam period and since then the parties have been at loggerheads and as a result Stormont is closed for business.

The hyperactivity of the English parliament could no doubt benefit from a long vacation especially when one considers that government these days seems to concern itself with everything but its proper role of keeping the citizens free from the depredations of criminals.

Politicians want to tell us what to eat drink and think but policing the streets and pursuing criminals -one of their main roles has long been abandoned. It is also significant that many feared Ireland would suffer a rise in sectarian trouble with the closing down of    Stormont and this has not happened either so the Brexit scare will no doubt also turn out to be just that, the alarmism of politicians with vested interests and ulterior motives.
