My son did all that was required of him at school. He gained very good GCSE and AS grades but when it came to admission to a local university the door was firmly closed.
Without a degree his chances of a 'good' life become limited, yet benefit scroungers have free housing and expenses. All this while our MLA's have flags, marches and the like as top of their agenda - fiddling while Rome burns.
Naturally the recession continues with house prices here slumping yet again and petrol prices remaining high.
Have we, I wonder, an economic death wish? Welcome to sunny Northern Ireland and have a nice day y'all!
