Will the British Govt CONTINUE to put money into the pot for the power-sharing Govt of Northern Ireland to make sure it remains in Stormont?.. Or am I the only person cynical enough to think that money was not a major factor in getting Ian Paisley to sell the people of Ulster out, after 35+ YEARS of saying NO! NO! NO!… NEVER! NEVER! NEVER!? I don’t even hear him referring to Sinn Fein as “Sinn Fein IRA” anymore…? Has the man been “turned”?
We thought Maggie made a huge U-turn when the people revolted against her attempt at the Poll Tax, but this …”historic day” on Monday 26th March 2007.. There are no adjectives to describe… or explain?
What are the British Government getting out of this deal? They gave the Ulster people a lollipop by delaying Water rates by 12 months, then gave £35-BILLION (over a 4 year period) PLUS a £1-BILLION “bonus” if devolution restarted in Stormont on Monday 26th March 2007 !

The only way to get any success in N I's peace process is to pay the parties to cooperate (and withhold money when they don't) - the current govt has recently realised this and has taken it into its policies

I would say that like Zimbabwe, which was initially a power sharing executive, that probably the Jerry Adams terrorist lead side will eventually be in charge. Then watch the sparks fly.

I think that maybe you are obsessed with this, and that is not healthy. This sort of thing took over my father years ago, it's not good for you.
