Northern Ireland is as some would claim, a divided Country within a divided Country – on the Island of Ireland. Northern Ireland as the name would suggest is situated in Northern Ireland. Whereas it is part of the Island of Ireland, it isn’t Irish, it's British, part of the United Kingdom of England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. The others just happen to be located on another Island, slightly to the East of Ireland. Obviously it could have been worse, we could have been located even further West – America, not that we don’t have our fair share of Cowboys and Indians running amok throughout our fair land - or we could have been located even further North – Iceland, not that we don’t have our fair share of Iceland shops dotted around our towns and cities.

The people of Northern Ireland are British, or Irish – including the Cowboys and Indians – and those from other countries of course. The spoken language of Northern Ireland is English, because we’re British perhaps, although in Ireland, they also use the English language, because they’re Irish one might suppose – also in Northern Ireland the spoken language is Irish, if you’re Irish, not British, and then there is Ulster-Scots - an official language which isn’t – it’s a dialect you see, not a language at all, unless you live in Northern Ireland – it’s a Tribal thing you see, which brings us back to those Cowboys and Indians, many of whom reside in that Great Big House on the Hill.

And those folk on the hill, those allegedly rumoured to be our self serving political representatives, those alleged incompetents who have allegedly so maladministered the finances and functionality of our country - dare we trust them further, and if we cannot now even trust our own democratically elected government - who then can we trust - the National disTrust?
