Well considering that they are actually thinking of cancelling the A5WTC which could potentially open the west of the province to more investment... then yeah, it still goes on.

A majority of the investment in the Northern Ireland still goes to the east of the Bann (Not Including Belfast). Recent times have seen a cross Atlantic 'Internet Cable' relocated to Coleraine that was originally meant for Derry, and also a whole fucking farce over the placement of a Radiotherapy Unit in Derry too.

dunno if you've been all the way down the Ards peninsula - if you have just notice how good the road surface is to Portavogie but south of it it's unbelievably shit?

All the way from Newtownards to Ballyhalbert/Millisle/Donaghadee/Ballywalter is like driving across the Somme. The roads round there are fucking disgraceful.

but how exactly are rich bankers in London doing anything to help out NI or Scotland at the moment?  I'm guessing you're going to say something about taxes, but I also thought that you lot do nothing all day but complain about how they DONT pay taxes.  Also, 'living' off of largess is no way to go through life or develop your economy, and its unsustainable.  And independent state would be able to give itself a huge advantage in terms of taxes, regulations, and monetary policy.  The economy would shape up in no time.  Just copy only the good bits from the successful secessions in Eastern Europe in the late 80s and 90s.

The Institutions may weasel out of Corporation Tax liabilities, but they employ large number of people who can't evade taxation. All the stuff they but with their monstrous wages is also taxed.  The tax take from financial services is enormous and dwarfs the corporation tax take taken in isolation.

Back onto a north-south divide, it's widening again in terms of joblessness apparently.

I just don't see the point.  If history has taught us anything, it's better to be united despite our differences, than completely go it alone.

Yea better for the Imperialistic Countries!

For all? What do men do with them ???



....meanwhile, in Wales it needed a government intervention to even deem them 'essential'
