NI’s preposterous government is ultimately unsustainable… Stormont still can’t take the action necessary to reverse crises of its own making. Parties calling for work to go ahead are the same parties that tied the judge’s hands
For years, while Stormont was down, many people hoped that if devolution returned, it just had to be better than in previous incarnations. If anything, it’s getting worse.
Last week, Belfast High Court blocked the building of a major road on technical grounds, even though the judge accepted his decision would likely lead to people being killed and seriously maimed.
That sounds insane because it is insane, but it’s not the judge who’s mad.
